[steel forge]

can yall send me a like that'll help alot

[tropic palm]

~this is subnautica chat not below zero

[steel forge]

this is

[raw loom]

it says below zero chat

[steel forge]

below zero

[tropic palm]

`~~oh yes

[livid nymph]

This might not work

[tropic palm]

im dumb

[cloud vault]

now you realise

[livid nymph]

need to spoil it hold on

||https://i.redd.it/g3s109eb9a761.png||

[raw loom]

ali go ||west from the start area||

[steel forge]

AY calm down

[carmine bobcat]

is the ||frozen leviathan|| on land?

[cloud vault]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/subnautica-arctic/images/a/a3/Overviewmap.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20201017151343

[livid nymph]

Click on the link, its a semi good map of the glacial basin

[cloud vault]

phi robotics is that marker on land

[steel forge]

start is the snow thingy

[livid nymph]

Oh yeah its on that map too

[steel forge]

right

[livid nymph]

So see the bridge a little bit above it?

[steel forge]

how many ticks right or left is it 2 or 4 ticks

[livid nymph]

Thats the bridge connecting the ||ice worm area to the glacial basin area||

[livid nymph]

Yes

[steel forge]

ay guys'

guys

just send me a link to a video

[summer crane]

hey where can i find ||marguerit's underwater base|| after the release?

[steel forge]

of where it is

[cloud vault]

spoiler that name

[livid nymph]

Have you found the bridge that you need to ||connect together|| @steel forge

[steel forge]

||go to the pilots last known location||

[summer crane]

i know ive been there

[steel forge]

nah

[summer crane]

ive searched around a lot

and i didnt find her base

[steel forge]

did you watch hylian moms vid

[summer crane]

i watched guides but none helped me

[steel forge]

ok so after that go down

[livid nymph]

The base is ||REALLY deep compared to the beacon||

[summer crane]

how deep exactly

[raw loom]

there's a ||way down from the monkey nest area||

[steel forge]

200

m

[livid nymph]

Her base is ||one of the ways to go to the crystal caverns||

[summer crane]

im pretty sure i found like a very deep canyon

[steel forge]

so after that

[summer crane]

is that her base?

[raw loom]

once you find the right crevice you'll see it pretty quick

[summer crane]

how deep is her base

[steel forge]

200 m

[summer crane]

what

[livid nymph]

200 m down

[steel forge]

so you go down and you will find a verticly placed lilypad go down

[livid nymph]

Below the ||Last seen beacon||

[summer crane]

oh i searched around the 300m area

Oh

so its 500m deep right?

[steel forge]

and then look to the right

[steel forge]

no

[steel forge]

read my 2 messages

[summer crane]

well

[steel forge]

you will find a way with seamonkey

[summer crane]

i have mk1

do i need mk2

[steel forge]

its alright

you don't need mk 2

do you have seaglide

[steel forge]

do you have seaglide

[summer crane]

yea

[steel forge]

so after you look to the right and find seamonkeys

enter there

[summer crane]

ok

[steel forge]

here look at this vid

[quartz pilot]

i this whole time stayed away from youtuber's videos and any info about the game
i am playing it now
but should i not also watch them on the side?

[steel forge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJeubqz3pMo

[steel forge]

no only if you need it

[quartz pilot]

should i watch them and learn from their lack of brain cells or should i do it alone?

[idle linden]

where is he?

[steel forge]

ay look https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJeubqz3pMo

guys dont mind me

i was resending it just in case

[steel forge]

hey here is the vid that you need to accomplish

[turbid stag]

how do you drive a hover bike

[steel forge]

yo where is that guy

[steel forge]

did you build one

[turbid stag]

yes just now

i tried turning but it wont do anything

only forward and backwards

[bitter lily]

So I have a question. What’s the point of the Quantum Locker if a Storage Module does the same thing but... better?

[steel forge]

did you try the a and the d

[steel forge]

you can carry it around

[turbid stag]

yeah

i think?

im not sure anymore

[steel forge]

and it doesnt take upgrade space

[bitter lily]

Well sure but.
Theoretically speaking you’re probably taking your Seatruck everywhere you go, right?

[kindred aurora]

I think it's another part of content that just got cut from development like it could have been a network you could expand of lockers and they... didn't do it

[turbid stag]

Or prawn suit

[steel forge]

but it doesn't take any upgrade space

[steel forge]

ok so how do you drive one

[unkempt flame]

snowfox

[steel forge]

i basiclly didn't build one

[turbid stag]

a prawn suit or a hoverbike

[steel forge]

yep non

so imma send ya a vid

there is no video of how your supposed to drive it

imma google

[bitter lily]

Storage compartment: Like 72 storage spaces
Quantum Locker: 16 storage spaces and you can’t have multiple...

[daring ruin]

its called balancing

[kindred aurora]

lol

[steel forge]

HEY

[turbid stag]

WHAT ONE

[steel forge]

are you on pc

[turbid stag]

yes i am on pc

[steel forge]

okie

[turbid stag]

wait how many warns do you get before ban

[steel forge]

go here

https://subnautica-belowzero.fandom.com/wiki/Snowfox#Controls

[molten hatch]

Best to assume none.

[steel forge]

don't worry i got 2 already

[bitter lily]

Balancing would be being able to carry multiple and have different links.

[turbid stag]

alright

[steel forge]

james go to the wiki link

[bitter lily]

I mean, it’s fine. It’s a cool feature. Just... completely useless pass 2 hours into the game... kind of like normal lockers

[steel forge]

ay calm down you can carry them oround

abut its fine

[kindred aurora]

more like.. 10 mins... spend no time doing anything until builder tool and never build a locker; pick up only exact amounts to craft

[turbid stag]

4 spaces for 16? what a bargin PLUS its universal

[bitter lily]

No no, I’m totally fine! It’s not like all items have to be useful all the way through the game

[steel forge]

was the link useful

[bitter lily]

I just wish it’s usefulness lasted a bit longer is all

[turbid stag]

im at my base ill head to the basin in the sec

then ill try it out for real

[steel forge]

okie

[bold monolith]

Situational.

[bitter lily]

But hey, maybe you’re right

[turbid stag]

alright

[bitter lily]

I mean. Technically you can use both

So it is useful later in the game. Just not as much

[daring ruin]

balancing is making something not too op if it is op. the reason its only 16 slots and you cant have multiple is because that would be way too op. 16 slots is a good amount for a subnautica ender chest.

[daring ruin]

what you just said is literally the opposite of balancing

[kindred aurora]

this has to be a joker

[daring ruin]

wdym

[molten hatch]

they probably mean a troll post

Just came to say, I just beat this game, loved it mightily, and going completely dark and not spoiling it for close to 3 years was completely worth the wait. Mad thanks to all the developers for their efforts!

[kindred aurora]

yep. bought the alpha when it was announced, played it only when they released it

[tropic palm]

~give me this grapchics

[daring ruin]

same

[median fulcrum]

Ugh. Trying to find lead in this game is going to give me a complex. 😛 I don't suppose there are lead deposits anywhere?

[summer crane]

wait what

so i made it to marguerits base

[tropic palm]

yea

[summer crane]

why is the door locked

[molten hatch]

Scanner room is your friend 😉

[carmine bobcat]

Cool

[bold monolith]

No drillable lead indeed.

[kindred aurora]

it's my favorite water additive

[daring ruin]

i played a bit of the game but the lore only went up to when robin found the life pod

also messed around in creative but wanted to wait for the full release experience.

[carmine bobcat]

It uses alot of power

[median fulcrum]

I have the scanner room active. Finding where it's pointing is an issue. 😛

[bitter lily]

Below Zero really did pull a 180
Subnautica: Can’t find Silver or Copper, Gold and Lead everywhere
Below Zero: Can’t find Gold or Lead anywhere, Copper and Silver everywhere

[tidal marsh]

is the|| snow fox ||important?

[summer crane]

why is ||marguerits base|| locked

[carmine bobcat]

Can't you open it?

[summer crane]

no

[median fulcrum]

I've got the HUD. 😛

[molten hatch]

Indeed, scanner is a hungry room. But bioreactor makes many meals.

[summer crane]

the door says locked

[carmine bobcat]

xD but true

[median fulcrum]

I have the HUD and scanner room. And I can't find where the markers are.

Gimme a sec.

[summer crane]

do i gotta do something to unlock it?

[tidal marsh]

cuz im trying to get the ||snowfox|| searching it with the ||mineral detector|| and it says theres a fragment there when theres nothing

[molten hatch]

you might be scanning for something not in range. It also take a while for scanned items to show up on your hud (or disappear if you turn it off). Try cycling through some more common items to find. And when in doubt ... explore more.

[summer crane]

yes

i activated the cutscene in the ||delta island||

[median fulcrum]

Half the time, I see this. I go to them. It's below the ground.

[summer crane]

in the moonpool. i cant go further cause its locked

[median fulcrum]

And trying to find how to get down to it is annoying. 😛

[median fulcrum]

If not impossible.

[summer crane]

yes inbetween the moonpool and the main room

yes

[median fulcrum]

Plus, there's the issue that it's 50/50 titanium, which is why I wondered if there were deposits.

[summer crane]

in the delta island she jumped off a cliff to attack me

[molten hatch]

working as intended, my friend. You'll get a HUD indicator, but it won't say anything about range. Keep at it or hunt for something else, you'll find your way eventually. How many hours have you played?

[median fulcrum]

Over 1 day, and that's not counting the 8 hours I lost to a power blink.

[carmine bobcat]

Can't a ion cube give alot of power idk how much but I think it's around 300k not sure

[bold monolith]

You already went there one time didn't you?

[molten hatch]

Oof. Intermittent saves keep sadness away. NGL, autosave would be nice for this game.

[median fulcrum]

Your build is listed as 'Early Access'. I can't see my build, so is that normal?

[ashen frigate]

;/

help

[median fulcrum]

100% agreed on that! And I learned the hard way about the 'intermittent saves'. I was only saving before I went into scary and dangerous waters before.

[bold monolith]

He is using the experimental build. You're using the stable / release build.

[molten hatch]

Were you playing for 8 hours straight? Kids these days ... at my advanced age of 31, I can only go 3.5 hours tops.

[median fulcrum]

Gotcha! I wasn't sure if that might be why the 'locked' problem.

[median fulcrum]

At my advanced age of 44, it's all I got. 😄

Kids these days. Can't handle a long grind. caneshake

[kindred aurora]

yeah, really. I maxed on runescape in 2012

[median fulcrum]

But yeah. I was playing for 8 hours, and 90% of it was base building and scrounging for materials because I make my own fun. 😉

Base and vehicle building, that is.

[kindred aurora]

think I have been playing warcraft longer than some of the people here have been alive

[molten hatch]

Hell yes. First moments of gameplay this Friday I was hooked on it like [illicit drug] and it soaked up every moment of my free time. Been years since I was so thrilled by a new game. ♥

[median fulcrum]

Amen to that. I was originally worried I wouldn't find it as engaging as original Subnautica, but... well.... here I am.

[tidal marsh]

||how do i get Test Override Module?||

[molten hatch]

Oh yeah, I found it super engaging. The only shred of spoiler I had was a blurb from an IGN review that called it a "leaner and meaner" experience, and it kind of felt smaller in some respects, but this was through and through a very familiar but improved sequel. Pinnable recipes alone is tops.

[median fulcrum]

I played some of the Early Access until they made the huge changes, then went "You know what? I'm going to wait and be surprised."

[daring ruin]

its in the ||mercury wrecks||

[median fulcrum]

And ALL OF THE YES on pinned recipes.

And the fact that pinning recipes means ||you can get materials from Sea Monkeys|| never ceases to thrill me.

[molten hatch]

Like, pinned recipes was the only thing I genuinely liked about The Forrest, which I bought after I beat the original Subnautica for a similar experience ... pretty disappointing. The Forrest =/= Subnautica.

[median fulcrum]

I wish that pinning a recipe would give you the whole tree, but honestly that's a VERY small 'want' since you can do it manually.

[molten hatch]

That was nice too. Honestly, pinnable recipes are a part of the game's main biggest improvement in my opinion: they made crafting easier. They make materials easier to find, ask you to harvest fewer of them for some craftables, and make it so you can build more things from more places. It cuts out so much of the tedium.

[turbid stag]

uh so uh i am at the basin so i was attacked by a snow stalker then i started stabbing it then i was flinged across the map?????

i was flung at insane speeds

[molten hatch]

Did you flap your arms like wings to fly? If not, big missed opportunity.

[median fulcrum]

Oh! I do have one other complaint about it over the first Subnautica, but it's overall small and only concerns me loving base building.

[turbid stag]

no sadly

[median fulcrum]

They have SO many cool plants that you can't get seeds off and grow. 😦

[turbid stag]

i paused it as soon as i was flung

so uh

am i gonna die when i fall or what

[wicked oyster]

Yeah lmao

[turbid stag]

well crap

[wicked oyster]

Probably at least

[median fulcrum]

There's still some pretty big bugs. If I had to guess, it probably phased you into something solid, and the game reacts by flinging things across the map.

[turbid stag]

yeah prob

i saw the snow stalker bug the hell out and it was launched after it died

[median fulcrum]

The attack drove you back into a wall, I'd guess. Literally into a wall.

[turbid stag]

then i was shot

[wicked oyster]

I had a bug where i freeze when i open a modification station or a growbed

[bitter lily]

Okay, so I can’t remember if this was a dream or not.
There isn’t some random Modification that lets you gain a speed boost by sacrificing oxygen, is there?

[wicked oyster]

But thats the only bug ive had

[median fulcrum]

Yes. There is.

[wicked oyster]

laughs in booster tank

[bitter lily]

I have not been led astray!

[wicked oyster]

Its really good

You can go like 300+ meters in one go

And fly into the sky on accident

[median fulcrum]

I'm a proponent for the ultra tank + seaglide over booster, but I'm a big free diver.

[molten hatch]

I didn't try the booster tank, but maybe it's the best way to scan leviathans ... aside from dying to them repeatedly like I did with the pink one, lol.

[median fulcrum]

That said, I do think the Booster is friggin' awesome.

[still moss]

uhh arent there any lithium deposits or?

[median fulcrum]

I never thought of that!

[median fulcrum]

None I've found, but I've found plenty of lithium scattered over the surface so haven't needed any.

[wicked oyster]

Ive just been using the booster tank and the ultra high 02 tank

[molten hatch]

Fun fact: Real life lithium explodes on contact with water.

[wicked oyster]

I just switch when i run out of the booster tank

[median fulcrum]

Hunting lithium right now as we speak.

[wicked oyster]

Noice

[still moss]

there was some kind of mineral that could make a tsunami when you fire it as a bomb

[ashen frigate]

my power is 5% sun and 95% baby pinquin

[still moss]

cant remember what it was

[median fulcrum]

Is there a good spot for quartz like the ||blood kelp|| in original Subnautica?

[still moss]

purple vents i found more quartz than lithium

[molten hatch]

I didn't find one. There's some drillable deposits much deeper down. Scanner room is your friend again, just harvest some in the safe shallows.

[median fulcrum]

It's the one thing I miss about the original: being able to have bases in specific locations to be able to get masses of one material. In this one, materials are more scattered, but also in more areas. Which is an overall gain, I think.

[wicked oyster]

The booster tank makes me feel so safe

[median fulcrum]

Ah well. I'm not having too much issue finding it, yeah, but if I want to build an all-glass base, it'd be nice to have a big place to gather. 🙂 Drillable it is.

[wicked oyster]

I literally just flew passed a chelicerate that spawned in front of me

[median fulcrum]

I need to re-make my Prawn anyhow.

[turbid stag]

alright update on me being flung, I didnt die

there was a cliff beside the wall so i didnt die

so im happy

[wicked oyster]

Oh thats good

[tidal marsh]

||ohhhh found out the fragment thats saying it's there it is glitched and it isnt there you are supposed to go to the undientified woman then initiate a cutscene then scan ev everything||

[turbid stag]

but now im really high up

wait does snowfox take fall damage

ill just get on that and drive off

[wicked oyster]

No?

[turbid stag]

sweet

[wicked oyster]

I think thats safe

[turbid stag]

anyway im really far from my starting point

[wicked oyster]

Beware the ice worms

[turbid stag]

i was shot about 800m

[wicked oyster]

Damn

[turbid stag]

so im far out now

its fine tho cuz i wanted to come for the part

lel

[molten hatch]

Reminds me of the time I accidentally made the ||space ship and launch platform|| perform a ||kickflip|| in the original Subnautica and ended up on top of the ||Aurora||.

[wicked oyster]

Im pretty sure you were flung into the ||glacial spires|| which means ice worms lmao

[wicked oyster]

WHA-

[molten hatch]

🧊 🪱 is not your friend.

[wicked oyster]

I would pay to see that lmfao

[turbid stag]

ahahaha i remeber when you could fly in subnautica 1

[wicked oyster]

Propulsion cannon go zoom

[turbid stag]

you needed propulsion cannon plus a crab from the aurora

then fly!

[wicked oyster]

I got yeeted into the void one time

[turbid stag]

they patched it in bz

im sad

[wicked oyster]

And that was the fastest i ever quit

[median fulcrum]

Bug reports on things like that are the best bug reports.

[turbid stag]

lmao

[molten hatch]

It was the weirdest thing... I got it to perform kinda consistently too. I think I did it by holding W while exiting the cockpit of the ||spaceship||. The whole ||spaceship and launch pad|| flipped like ~200m into the air sending me flying too. Definitely a glitch but a wild one too!

[median fulcrum]

"Bug fix: can no longer fly on crabs."

[faint vault]

Proud to have the whole convoy. :3

[turbid stag]

that would be amazing if they put it as that

normal players would be like Huh? you could fly on crabs?

[ashen frigate]

i put baby pinguins in my bioreactor

[tidal marsh]

i hate how theres still a chance when you want to save your game and it crashes

[ashen frigate]

same

[tidal marsh]

||cyclops 2.0||

[faint vault]

Indeed.

[ashen frigate]

i only have fabricator and storage

[median fulcrum]

Don't be scaring me like that!!

[tidal marsh]

yesterday i was moving things around my base for space and then i saved and my game crashed

[turbid stag]

how do you spoiler pics

[median fulcrum]

Click the box 'spoiler' when you upload.

[tidal marsh]

its already there

[molten hatch]

you have to put SPOILER at the start of the file name ... or maybe that's only for another server?

[quartz pilot]

should i follow the last location of the girl?
or should i explore for the bases marked on the map?

[faint vault]

If I ever think to do so next time I play, I'll take a pic of my base. It's not the prettiest out there, mind you.

[median fulcrum]

I thought all you had to do was click the 'Spoiler' box?

[molten hatch]

I'm probably wrong, lol

[median fulcrum]

Yep. There's a box at the lower left 'Mark as spoiler'. Click. Spoilered.

[faint vault]

All you have to do is click the 'Spoiler' box.

[molten hatch]

You could test with a non-Subnautica image. But nothing weird like ||pics of bare feet||.

[turbid stag]

how do you do a spoiler that isnt at the start

Oh no!

[faint vault]

That's one I'm dreading having to confront.

[tidal birch]

Same

[turbid stag]

yeah iceworms are the worst

[tidal birch]

Devourer Of Robins

[turbid stag]

lel

[tidal birch]

if anyone gets the reference I will

h

[turbid stag]

i will h!

[molten hatch]

It's a stinker, not gonna lie. But I think the worst part is that above-ground environment... I found it really disorienting and got legit lost the first time I went deep into that environment. Such a stinker to get back to base.

[median fulcrum]

I haven't met one yet. Not looking forward to it. They're part of the reason I wanted to build a 'glacier base': so I'd have somewhere to respawn. 😛

[tidal birch]

devourer of gods is easier than devourer of ice

and I can only kill one of them

[faint vault]

Smart idea.

[median fulcrum]

Oh my God, yes. I got SO LOST exploring the ice.

[tidal birch]

I mean, that's the idea of the ice biome

encouraging players to use beacons, etc

[median fulcrum]

I originally thought I'd hate how much of it was aboveground.

[turbid stag]

do you need ion cubes for anything story wise?

[median fulcrum]

.... and I kind of do, but not for the reasons I expected. 😄

[tidal birch]

I am unsure, anyone?

[turbid stag]

just say how many you need for the story

dont spoil pls

[molten hatch]

It made me realize, almost everywhere else in the game, the way to get OUT is to go UP. But above ground, it's... North? East? Too confusing. Thank you ||Seatruck teleporter||.

[tidal birch]

I genuinely have no idea if you do

[molten hatch]

anyway, good fun has been had here, but I gotta get to bed now. It's 5 a.m. Nini friendly people!

[median fulcrum]

Yeah. And it's harder to escape hypothermia than oxygen because, again, 'Up'.

[turbid stag]

Good night!

[molten hatch]

🥱 🛌 😴

[median fulcrum]

Sleep well!

[tidal birch]

Okay, you definitely need more than one

[turbid stag]

And when you run out of energy you go up!

[carmine bobcat]

killed a shadow leviathan, neat

[tidal birch]

for the story

[turbid stag]

how many

[still moss]

isnt there a stasis rifle in BZ?

[steel forge]

AY GUYS

[turbid stag]

i wanna make sure cuz i dont wanna use em all then i have to find out that i need it for story

[tidal birch]

but there's a few ion cubes around and by a few I mean 21 (not including large deposits in which there are 4)

[carmine bobcat]

tried coming for me before I could repair my prawn from it's attacks :/ punched it

[steel forge]

yall had been talking about ice worms

[tidal birch]

A minimum of 45 Ion Cubes and a maximum of 69 can be obtained by the player with no infinite way to obtain them as of now.

[steel forge]

can yall send me a pic

i never saw one

[tidal birch]

here

[quartz pilot]

i would like to ask again on guidance

[turbid stag]

lol

[tidal birch]

and so one ion cube is needed during the story

[steel forge]

oh this

$ht

[turbid stag]

lets gooooo

it aint 10 like last game!

[wicked oyster]

Base

[steel forge]

follow

[wicked oyster]

Ye

[quartz pilot]

also which marker on the map is for the robotic's lab?

[tidal birch]

Yes

you do those things

[median fulcrum]

I followed it, and it helped me locate an important location. You can also go to the bases on the map; whatever order you want to do them in is up to you, honestly.

[tidal birch]

they tie into each other

[quartz pilot]

i'm getting two signals let me narrow down my points of interest
i would like sidemissions first

which one is side mission?

[wicked oyster]

Neither

[turbid stag]

wait are you ment to bring the prawn suit on land

[median fulcrum]

I hope so, because I intehnd to build a prawn to permanently keep up there.

[turbid stag]

like in the glacial spires

[wicked oyster]

Yes?

[quartz pilot]

so in that case i'll go to the lady

[wicked oyster]

I think so

[turbid stag]

well ive just found a ion deposit above land

[wicked oyster]

Ok

[crystal zealot]

is galena the ONLY source of lead ??

[tidal birch]

sea monke

[median fulcrum]

Yes.

[crystal zealot]

smh

[median fulcrum]

OLh, yeah.

[tidal birch]

monke monke monke

[median fulcrum]

Other than Sea Monkey help.

[summer crane]

what no i have the released subnatica below zero

[median fulcrum]

Which, I will admit, is incredibly helpful.

[median fulcrum]

It's listed as 'Early Access' in your build number.

[turbid stag]

is glacial spires have anything else other then the part??

[summer crane]

wait what

[turbid stag]

also how do you use a spoiler like /spoiler this

[crystal zealot]

RIP all those big deposits of magnetites and lead then

[tidal birch]

monke spoiler: ||Sea Monkeys will provide your resources while Al-An is inside of your head, if you have a recipe pinned and a resource in that is something they can supply, they will supply that!||

[median fulcrum]

Yeah. Look at the upper right of the picture you took. Unless I was looking at the wrong one.

[carmine bobcat]

uh guys

[summer crane]

huh

[tidal birch]

||spoiler here||

These aren't the letter L or i, they are the tall things

[summer crane]

thats pretty weird even tho i have the released version

i mean

I SHOULD have the released version not the early access

[carmine bobcat]

I just punched a gelena outcrop at the same time with my prawn and a titanium and lead came out

[still moss]

there is no stasis rifle in BZ?

[tidal marsh]

thanks for leaking my secrets ;-;

[deep kettle]

It was cut yes.

[tidal birch]

no

[median fulcrum]

Do you have your Steam set to get experimental builds?

[still moss]

how am i gonna kill the shrimps then 😦

[tidal marsh]

i mean are they wrong?

[tidal birch]

yeet

[summer crane]

yae

[still moss]

my jetpack keeps running out so they swim away

[median fulcrum]

Er, yeah.

[summer crane]

ye i do why?

[median fulcrum]

I don't know if that would change the 'locked' thing, but could that be why it's locked for you?

[tidal birch]

propulsion cannon still exists so you can sorta.. trickshot

[summer crane]

hmm

[median fulcrum]

Something changing in the build?

[summer crane]

idk ill try

[still moss]

the bug still exists

[median fulcrum]

It's the only thing I can think of.

[tidal birch]

thing is, they wanted to make massive deadly creatures NOT easily cheesable

[tidal birch]

what bug is this

[turbid stag]

do you need anything else from the glacial spires apart from the al an thing

[still moss]

items into prawnsuit 😛

[tidal birch]

OH

also the lighting

[deep kettle]

They never fixed it yeah.

[tidal birch]

im used to only the solar panels glowing in the dark, those too?

when will this get fixed it's probably really easy to do

some incorrect lighting value

[median fulcrum]

Yeah. Lighting correction should be a small fix. And might take a back seat to the more game breaking bugs that are throwing people across the map or crashing saves.

[tidal birch]

ok but is it too much to ask for both

[turbid stag]

iceworms are glitching

[median fulcrum]

No, but 'first thing's first'.

[turbid stag]

they went up and dived

then a ghost came

and swinged

[tidal birch]

i have ocd so uh flying is fun, weird lighting isn't

[deep kettle]

What's wrong with lighting?

[median fulcrum]

The growbeds glowing in the dark is what they're talking about.

[tidal birch]

Stuff like planters, solar panels (always, for me) and things glow in the dark, or like don't have lighting applied to them

[deep kettle]

Oh.

[tidal birch]

haven't seen planters glow before but now they do

[turbid stag]

iceworms might kill me

3 of em just dived on me

im running out of medkit

[tidal birch]

at night it's jarring af to look out at my solar panel array and see them illuminated as if it's midday

wait there's.. more than one ice worm

[median fulcrum]

Yeah. I was saying that I expect it's a bug to be fixed, but that it might take a back seat to the 'crash bugs' depending.

[turbid stag]

yeah

[quasi vault]

How many void bois are in the void?

[turbid stag]

theres tons

3

[tidal birch]

also who else really hates the reflection in the large room alien containment

[quasi vault]

Oh

[turbid stag]

well i think by going of the first game

[tidal birch]

it's a low quality image of the inside of a cyclops by the looks

[median fulcrum]

Bladderfish.

😄

[turbid stag]

blabberfish

oh lol

[deep kettle]

I would imagine it not being a huge priority yeah, especially compared against crashes.

[median fulcrum]

No, you say water bottle!

I say bladderfish! It's not saying bladerfish!

[tidal birch]

still, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa my ocd

[summer crane]

Thom do you know why marguerits base is locked for me?

[median fulcrum]

I'm sympathetic, but aaaaaaaaaaaa my 8 hours of lost gameplay!

[deep kettle]

I saw your report, but I'm not sure. It should just work if you had the first cut scene.

[summer crane]

thats weird

it just says this

[still moss]

welllll uhhhh the ride with the shrimp isnt going well xD hes luring me into the deadzone

[tidal birch]

oh u need to

[deep kettle]

Maybe try to save and then check if it's still locked?

[median fulcrum]

Have you tried going back and seeing if you can trigger the original cut scene?

[tidal birch]

at the island

[summer crane]

Yea

[median fulcrum]

Damn.

[summer crane]

ive been multiple times at the island to get more gold from that zone

[tidal birch]

Also, can we agree that this reflection is so low quality and jarring that nobody is using large room aquariums now

[median fulcrum]

The only thing I can guess is that the new build may have reset something.

[summer crane]

ill try to see if this works

[median fulcrum]

Wait, there's a large aquarium?!

[turbid stag]

Its better then none

[deep kettle]

It's the wrong reflection as well in case you didn't notice 😅

[tidal birch]

I think none would actually look nicer, the round one doesn't have one

[still moss]

prawn suit destroyed, but mission not over yet!

[median fulcrum]

I'd use that in a heartbeat! 😄 Low quality reflection or no.

[tidal birch]

ew please tell me it's already fixed for the next patch

im dying over here it is for my b a se

[still moss]

nvm i have too many resources on me not gonna do this

[summer crane]

Hmm it still doesnt work

ill try to restart my game see if it works\

[deep kettle]

I have no idea, I know one of the devs wanted it fixed though. So I assume it will probably get fixed eventually.

But you're looking at the reflection of a Cyclops xD

[turbid stag]

just save then do it

[median fulcrum]

Don't get me wrong: I agree it needs fixing, but THAT'S AWESOME!

[tidal birch]

yeah it's.. weird

wait lemme add some food for thought

[quasi vault]

Is the void chelicerate scannable?

[still moss]

uhh killing the shrimp = not fun 😦

[median fulcrum]

Sweet! I have my vehicle modules back! Now to rebuild my Prawn suit, all its storage, and its grapple.

[tidal birch]

@deep kettle standard alien containment has little to no reflection, wouldn't it be better like this?

[median fulcrum]

sobs

[quasi vault]

No is it scannable?

The void chelicerate

[tidal birch]

if you like getting eaten yes

[still moss]

how would i know xD

[bold monolith]

This bug was fixed in the experimental build.

[still moss]

i just lost my prawn suit to a normal shrimp

[tidal birch]

ok so

[bold monolith]

Even before the release.

[still moss]

cause i was to stubborn to kill it

[tidal birch]

why am i-

so if SHOULD be fixed as of right now but it isn't

I'm updated fully

[quasi vault]

How many void chelicerate’s are there?

[median fulcrum]

Infinite number. Until you die or retreat.

[tidal birch]

technically unlimited, they only spawn once you're in the void

[bold monolith]

It's fixed in experimental, not in the full release build. The reason is because this one had a low priority. And they were short on time.

[tidal birch]

only 3 will spawn at once, every 30s iirc

[tidal birch]

so next patch, then?

[bold monolith]

There are many bugs like that.

Yes.

[deep kettle]

The drop pod for example

[tidal birch]

floating staircases sometimes, too?

[quasi vault]

How tf am I supposed to scan it?

[empty hatch]

Is there a way for the public to get access to the experimental build?

[bold monolith]

On Steam only.

[tidal birch]

if I update to the experimental will my save still be there

[bold monolith]

I don't advise you to do so, though. Because experimental has a worse bug currently.

[tidal birch]

oh right that one

[deep kettle]

Oh that's still there?

[tidal birch]

nah that's just a mood

[empty hatch]

Ah, balls. On epic. I bought it back in EA when the epic store was new and I was naive :/

[deep kettle]

Also ZagoTD, you can't downgrade your save. So if something breaks in there you can't go back unless you use a backup for your save.

[median fulcrum]

It may not be scannable. If it is, I'd say seaglide or the rocket oxygen tank.

[tidal birch]

fruck fair

I will cope

[bold monolith]

Technically changing the changeset in gameinfo.json is enough.

[deep kettle]

They didn't change anything in terms of the batches etc?

[bold monolith]

No because now that this game isn't early access anymore, the entity are all there.

[deep kettle]

But wait give me 1 second.

Is this one http://twitter.com/SubnauticaSCM/status/1395195125861523459 just a hitbox fix then?

[bold monolith]

If you load the area, the rock's position is saved in the CellsCache files in your save file. When you'll load the area in stable, the rock will still have the same position, since it's saved.

[deep kettle]

Ah, so it won't break it but you won't get the fix either.

[bold monolith]

If you are in stable and go in experimental, you won't have the fix unless you remove the baked-batch-cells file where the bridge is.

[quasi vault]

You lied to me >:c it’s not scannable

[still moss]

idc about the achievements, target: Shrimp

[rustic yacht]

Coming here to ruin the game for all of you once more

[quasi vault]

Where do you get the stais rifle?

[rustic yacht]

All stairs are off-center

[still moss]

cheated it in

[rustic yacht]

They cut it, it's not there

[deep kettle]

[still moss]

the shrimp killed my prawnsuit, its just time for revenge

[rustic yacht]

Worst game, literally

[still moss]

im blood thirsty

[deep kettle]

We need a hotfix for this ASAP! 😂

[rustic yacht]

We need a hotfix for the entire game because it's bad

[magic frost]

I found a second drill arm fragment, in a place I hadn't been before. The game said 1/2 after finding one fragment, however, this one is dead to the scanner?

[tidal birch]

ait so dumb joke time

This is what you want

[still moss]

also thom, i went into the deadzone with the shrimp, he went there to flee but does he stay there?

[tidal birch]

This is what you get

[deep kettle]

If you stay in the deadzone I believe it stays there.

[rustic yacht]

Don't need all sea truck modules, half of them are useless

[tidal birch]

it's a dong joke

[carmine bobcat]

chryptosuchus look like platapuses

angry platapuses

[still moss]

why tf do i not find any shrimps anymore lmao

[carmine bobcat]

maybe because you killed them all

[deep kettle]

They are scared of the stasis rifle :3

[still moss]

i didnt kill em

[carmine bobcat]

ok

[still moss]

they just flee'd away

one of em

should be another one

[magic frost]

so any idea why a not yet scanned fragment would be unscannable when 1 is still apparently needed?

[carmine bobcat]

thats what i would do if a man with an illegal item and a knife came up to me

[still moss]

fair enough

but i want em dead.... ALL OF EM >:)

[carmine bobcat]

understandable

[median fulcrum]

Which item? And are you certain it's a fragment and not just a lookalike?

[magic frost]

can I post a SS of what I see

[quasi vault]

You liras to me- the void chelicerate is not scannable

[median fulcrum]

You should be able to.

[median fulcrum]

I'm not 100% positive; I've had to use snip for some of the HUD stuff.

[still moss]

aight im gonna make a freedom world with a bit of cheats xD

[magic frost]

that one is near a story item

[median fulcrum]

OK. Yeah. Those should be scannable even after you've got all pieces.

So I have to assume 'bugged item' or 'background item and not actual fragment'.

[magic frost]

well this one is not for some reason

[deep kettle]

I remember hearing something about one piece not working in there, but there are more drill arms in there 🙂

[magic frost]

good, seeing all that stuff to get and not getting a drill arm would be annoying

[median fulcrum]

Yeah. You can definitely get the drill arm there. 🙂

[fleet tartan]

so is there literally any reason to breed fish that aren't arctic peepers?

on paper it seems there is no reason to breed anything other than arctic peepers other than like penglings because they are cute

[still dock]

It's worth making the flashlight on head?

[clear siren]

show Al-An you're willing to go through with the threat but also if your seatruck is on full hp you'll be fine, it'll take at least 4 hits to kill it

[wicked oyster]

Lmfao that convo though

[magic frost]

I 'really' need to get a power cell charger soon

[wicked oyster]

Also my game crashed again...

3rd time

[clear siren]

Did you save recently?

[median fulcrum]

I breed tritops for fuel.

[still dock]

Can someone help me?

[median fulcrum]

Because they're not as cute as peepers, and one scared me so I want them to die. 😛

[wicked oyster]

I just murdered a snow stalker

I dont feel bad

[median fulcrum]

My assumption would be 'yes', but I also haven't made one yet so I could be talking out my rear.

[still dock]

lol

[whole perch]

Help with what

[fleet tartan]

yea because troops give same bio as peeper, so i'd rather just make a bigger peeper tank

[median fulcrum]

Unrelated, HOLY HELL I hate ||lily paddlers||

[whole perch]

Why

[median fulcrum]

Yep. That's why I breed tri's for fuel.

[whole perch]

I accidently hatched a bunch of ||Titanfish|| eggs

[median fulcrum]

I don't have a peeper tank. I eat veggies. And stuff triops into the bio.

[median fulcrum]

||They give air, so I'm actually considering seeing if they'd work as 'free dive' aids.||

[whole perch]

Tbh idk

[fleet tartan]

I usually try to settle with 3 species to kind of collect so it's kinda sad arctic peeper is just best for literally everything

[whole perch]

It wouldn't make that much sense

Considering its not needed

I wanna build a huge base with glass but stupid quartz

And lead are setting me back

[median fulcrum]

Quartz has a lot of drillable resource nodes.

Lead, on the other hand, I feel you.

[quartz pilot]

i would like to know as to how did i managed to catch the arctic biters?

[whole perch]

Where

Quartz nodes where

[fleet tartan]

oh yea wait you need bladderfish for air bladders right?

[median fulcrum]

I found a ton around the barren grounds to the east. Under the glaciers. I have a small scanning outpost there and there's tons.

[whole perch]

Oh cool

East of the life pod?

[median fulcrum]

Drillable. Not the stuff you can just pick up. But still.

Yeah. Near/under ||Margerite's greenhouse||

[whole perch]

Oh damn ok

[quartz pilot]

i just left click a ton

[fleet tartan]

i'll probably do arctic peepers, bladderfish, pengwings, and fourth empty for repopulation

[whole perch]

I shouldve put a marker there

||I need to make a quantum locker lol||

Also, ||where are the ion battery and ion fusion cells?||

[median fulcrum]

Considering that enameled glass takes lead now, I wish they'd add big lead deposits.

[whole perch]

Facts

They had lead deposits in regular subnautica

[median fulcrum]

Yeah. They removed them for a while, but I recommended they be re-added after they added lead to so many building items.

[whole perch]

Hope so

[median fulcrum]

And recommend it here in BZ for the same reason. 😄

[carmine bobcat]

I think I accidentally skipped part of the plot, can I post under spoilers and see if anyone confirms?

[whole perch]

Exactly 8 hours 0 minutes on a save file

@carmine bobcat yeah as long as its in spoilers

[bold monolith]

You can't skip parts of the plot. That's by design.

[median fulcrum]

I'd appreciate the spoiler tags as well, yeah! Thank you!

[whole perch]

I want an all glass base

I think I'd look hella nice

[median fulcrum]

I'm seriously considering putting glass on all the parts of my glacier base, where I don't have to worry about pressure.

It's an amazing view, anyway, if I find the right spot.

[kindred aurora]

I feel like I broke the game again. I ||constructed the body|| and... nothing happens

[carmine bobcat]

anyone who completed the game who wanna talk and guide me just got the game

[bold monolith]

Spoiler screenshot please.

[median fulcrum]

The game's pretty good about leading you the way you need to go, and exploring helps with the places you don't need to go but want to go.

[kindred aurora]

there's nothing to interact with or do at this point

[carmine bobcat]

||Alright so it's about Sam's storyline. Basically, after finding the ruined base int he lily pad biome, Sam finds out that experiments are being conducted on the kharaa. From there I did't really get any clue on where to go, or if so I missed it, and a while later ended up exploring the arctic biome. So I stumble upon the robotic lab and there Sam is expressing her concerns to her boss(?) and trying to find if anyone will help her put a stop to the kharaa research, I think. Again no particular lead on where to go next, which is fine, cause so far it all seemed pretty straightforward.
Then I keep exploring the arctic and stumble into a spy pengling cave, in which a small vial of antidote prompts Robin to remark "this must have been hidden here by Sam". uh?! When? Why? How do you know?
Then a while later I come across the frozen leviathan and find out that Sam had done a terrorist attack and killed the security guy along with herself in the process? That went from 0 to 100 quick! And then Robin somehow knows that Sam intended the antidote for the leviathan and injects it in it and the dialogue that follows between her and ALAN feels like that's the end of that story. But to me that seems like a huge gap in narrative from when Sam was merely concerned to when she straight up decided to bomb the place after somehow getting a hold of Kharaa antidote? I must have missed something right?||

[bold monolith]

So you can't click on him?

[kindred aurora]

nothing.

[bold monolith]

I see. I helped someone with your case just earlier.

If you didn't save, you should reload.

It will be easier.

Also, can you describe what you did? ||Just built the vessel and nothing else?||, when did you save?

[kindred aurora]

yeah, my intuition of saving before doing any event in this game is paying off. this is the.. 4th time I've had to do something like this

I put ||all 3 components in, saved, then clicked on the terminal||

[bold monolith]

The other player who had this issue had a trigger that is supposed to happen only when you click.

[quartz pilot]

where can i get the indoor grow bed?

[bold monolith]

Which means, for the game they initiated the cinematic, even if they didn't.

[broken coral]

What am I supposed to do when I've been at the pilot's base??

[tropic smelt]

Is Subnautica below zero fully released in egs?

[deep kettle]

Should be yeah, any problems?

[bold monolith]

There is indeed no precondition leading to the conversation with ||the antidote||. And indeed you missed ||Marguerit's story|| which is linked to Sam. But this is intentional.

[deep kettle]

She asked you to do something, you could do that or just explore further 😄

[kindred aurora]

works as intended. just needed to reload

[broken coral]

As far as I understand, she asked me to disable some signal. But I have no idea how or where x_x

[bold monolith]

The fact that there is no order at that point is known and deliberate.

[carmine bobcat]

so where can I find that particular character? Or you mean I didn't pick up a pad or something with some plot exposition on it?

[tropic smelt]

Just in egs shows that the game is in early access

[bold monolith]

You'll find her first ||at Delta Island||.

[carmine bobcat]

If it's deliberate it's really confusing, as the protagonists seems to act on knowledge that the player still doesn't have

[deep kettle]

She asks you ||to disable the tower on the island|| 🙂

[clear siren]

She asked you disable the radio tower, you've probably already been to it it's on ||Delta station||

[broken coral]

Oh, okay

[bold monolith]

It is confusing if you do it in this order I agree.

[quartz pilot]

i feel i'm talking in this chat in a far too busy hour

[clear siren]

As for the how you need a test override module, there's a fragment lying on her table to scan

[broken coral]

How do I get parallel processing unit??

I think I scanned everything I could down there

[clear siren]

Mercury ll wrecks, take a laser cutter

[broken coral]

Ugh...

[austere tartan]

🙏 ||Al-An|| my beloved 🙏

[clear siren]

Nah it's not terribly busy rn

[austere tartan]

WhY did the spoiler thing not work

Help

[clear siren]

You need two |

[carmine bobcat]

hang on are you saying that ||the "last known pilot position" beacon was meant for a second encounter with Marguerit? Cause I went there and found nothing for a while and then came across the base hidden in the lily pad cave. I assumed that's what I was supposed to find and that Marguerit was the one that destroyed it. Is that not the case? Was I supposed to find her before going to the arctic?||

[clear siren]

So || on both sides

Like ll spoiler ll

(but using | not l)

[broken coral]

Where do I find laser cutter fragments?

[austere tartan]

Thank u

[whole perch]

|| broo what does it mean by "inactive volcano nearby"||

[bold monolith]

||Greenhouse, outpost Zero & Phi robotics center.||

[clear siren]

||that's her last known position, also the prawn suit in base is the same as when you get jumped plus same voice ||

[austere tartan]

Yes you have to ||search in that area, its a bit hidden and its on a low dephth||

[clear siren]

Sea monkey nests, sea monkey caves and in mercury ll itself

[broken coral]

What's mercury? 😓

[bold monolith]

An old ship.

[clear siren]

Big crashed ship, parts of it in/on borders of lilypads

[broken coral]

Is that the big squary box in the ocean?

[empty hatch]

There's also laser cutters in twisty bridges

[austere tartan]

It means ||the volcano wont blow up and kill you 👌 ||

[whole perch]

Yeah but where

[carmine bobcat]

well that's just great. I'm fine with non linear storytelling but when the in-universe dialogue acts as if you already did everything leading up to that point it doesn't really work, does it? Why even allow me to skip part of the story if the narration and dialogue won't reflect it

[whole perch]

I didnt see it

[austere tartan]

Not sure

[clear siren]

Unknown but not important

[empty hatch]

Mercury broke up into 3 sections. The bow, the stern, and the portside engine

[austere tartan]

Havent got a clue my guy. Im sorry

[kindred aurora]

it's not. if anything it's very on a rails and directly tells you what to do ingame before progressing, and hard gates you before doing actions that affect it
what you're skipping is "optional" things

[carmine bobcat]

I was really enjoying the game, now I feel like I fast forwarded though it

[median fulcrum]

Sea monkey question.

[carmine bobcat]

dude it's not optional if|| the knowledge of where to find the antidote and what to do with it was crucial to the plot. Robin acted as if she knew but I didn't cause I didn't play the part when she discovers it, apparently.||

[median fulcrum]

Do hatched ones ||bring you stuff like the wild ones do||? Or do they just look cute?

[bold monolith]

You did not, but I agree with you those parts could have been better with more logic.

[whole perch]

Oops.

[median fulcrum]

Yup. That's how my map looked with hunting lead. And most of them I couldn't find how to get to. 😄

[kindred aurora]

yes it is. you are able to come across it without the dialogue or finding any pda to hint you; an example of a hard gate that is not optional is ||needing the spy penguin||

[austere tartan]

||isnt it pengling?||

[carmine bobcat]

I'm not arguing that you're unable to do it as I obviously did. I'm saying the narration doesn't reflect it. The dialogue doesn't reflect it. The game is still going through the motions as if I, the player, know what's going on when I really don't cause I skipped some plot relevant stuff

The real question is ||how did sam manage to create an antidote when the architects couldn't||

[carmine bobcat]

when you find ||the pengling stuff it doesn't say "use this to find the antidote I stashed away and then inject it in the leviathan". I did that entirely by accident and because Robin had read the script and knew where the plot was going 😄 ||

[whole perch]

Facts

[carmine bobcat]

also, yes

is that not answered?

I assumed I skipped that bit of plot as well

[whole perch]

Idk

[kindred aurora]

||they mention before alterra had similar hardware and visited them before, and the player is proof of inhabitance. sam is/was architect proxy||

[median fulcrum]

Where is Marguerit Log #1, anyway? I'm going insane!

[empty hatch]

Well ||once you find the antidote, you can craft more with some fevered pepper and frost vase plant. Which seems kind of lame. I figured she might have found some enzyme 42, but nope||

[bold monolith]

Tree Spires.

A techsite in the crevices.

[carmine bobcat]

what the... is that for real?

[empty hatch]

Yep

[median fulcrum]

Huh. I thought I'd been all the way through that.

[kindred aurora]

yeah. ||which is weird because in the dialogue post; they talk about what happened with the sea dragons and the containment facility. it really doesn't add up||

[median fulcrum]

Near where the ||thermal plants|| are set up?

[empty hatch]

Though, it's ||only used on the frozen leviathan, perhaps it's not suitable for curing living things. I heard somewhere that an atomic bomb can kill covid-19, but that doesn't mean it's an effective treatment||

[carmine bobcat]

So basically ||the super advanced alien race couldn't figure out how to make the antidote out of some spicy peppers and local flora? Did someone in the writing team had a feud with the original Subnautica's writer or something?||

[kindred aurora]

||if you follow the twitter and what has happened - probably yes; among other things||

[empty hatch]

It's no secret that someone else took charge of the project halfway through development and the original story was scrapped and rewritten

[whole perch]

||Its not that they couldn't find the cure its that the kharaa was spreading too fast||

Oops

[carmine bobcat]

wow I had no idea. What did I miss? What's the behind the scene reasons?

Kinda sad that a great game got tarnished by this sort of drama

[restive yoke]

I've scanned most of the stuff in the last pilot position. What should I do now?

are all the water filtration machines linked? cause they all had 1 water and 2 salt in them last time i played and i took out the water from one and it was gone in the other ones

[median fulcrum]

Nope. Or they shouldn't be.

[bold monolith]

They are in the large room and that's a known bug.

[raven root]

yeah they are in a large room

is there a way to fix the bug

[bold monolith]

No.

[raven root]

could i move them to a multipurpose room or would the bug still apply there

[bold monolith]

It will work.

[median fulcrum]

Ah! Thanks for letting me know!\

[quartz pilot]

does anyone know which symbol is for ||outpost zero||?

[median fulcrum]

I was going to put multiple in a large room on the glacier; I'll do a small room instead, then.

[bold monolith]

It's a zero.

[raven root]

so will i, sucks that i cant put them in a large room though

[quartz pilot]

which zero? ØΦ

[bold monolith]

First one.

[median fulcrum]

The first is Zero, the second is Omega.

[raven root]

is it weird that of all the cool stuff added in bz the large room is my favorite?

i dont even really like building that much

[median fulcrum]

I'm pretty sure that'll be a bug that's fixed fairly quickly. I'd hope so, anyway.

[wicked oyster]

So my game crashed again

[carmine bobcat]

First game had that too though, right? I mean there were far less "on-screen" characters, but you could find PDAs with all sorts of character snippets

[median fulcrum]

And yeah. I loved the big room. I very much was looking forward to cramming a massive amount of things into one room. 😄

[empty hatch]

That's not omega, that's phi. Omega is Ω

[turbid stag]

how do you use a repair tool in a prawn suit

[median fulcrum]

Yeah, but most of them weren't developed through those snippets. They were small snapshots. Plus, the actual main characters (such as they are) didn't have as much.

[bold monolith]

It doesn't have a high priority. There are crashes and save corruptions that are high priority and are way more annoying than this one. I wouldn't expect a hotfix for this.

[turbid stag]

i heard it was like a bug and now i wanna do it

[raven root]

i honestly just wanted to have a nuke reactor in a room and still be able to walk around in it without bumping into stuff constantly

[median fulcrum]

That's what I meant by the representation with that.

[carmine bobcat]

He was more of a blank slate to allow the player to step in his shoes I guess

[broken coral]

Neat... Searched through the sea monkey caves, only found 1/3 laser cutters...

[quartz pilot]

no omega is something like this Ὠ

[carmine bobcat]

also he really didn't have anyone to talk to

[raven root]

theres one in the mercury II main part i believe, and also one at phi robotics

[turbid stag]

go to the bottem of the twisty bridges Not deep

[carmine bobcat]

in general it feels that the first game was more about immersion and less about the characters or the plot

[median fulcrum]

I think I remember finding mine in the mine, but I could be misremembering.

[median fulcrum]

Very much so. There was a good plot, but it was way more immersion/survival. This one is storyline-heavy compared to the first.

[broken coral]

No idea where places are....

[junior olive]

Hello

[raven root]

i do to

[median fulcrum]

Ah, good. Not just me, then.

[quartz pilot]

and is the other symbol for the robotics?

[carmine bobcat]

I'd be fine with it if they didn't make it so easy to mess things up. Lowkey put off by having skipped parts of the story now

[bold monolith]

This.

[median fulcrum]

I stand corrected. Apologies.

[junior olive]

Update below zero with ennding is good

[empty hatch]

||So I encountered an underwater transparent ice wall near phi, I think it leads to artifact Z13. What do I do to get past this? I tried the laser cutter to no effect, but when I put it near the wall it has a 0% on my crosshair like I'm supposed to cut it or something||

[bold monolith]

From the other side.

It's a shortcut.

[empty hatch]

Ah, welp

Too nosy for my own good

[deep kettle]

That shortcut is still so confusing :p

[empty hatch]

I followed the architect cabling

[median fulcrum]

Same, @empty hatch

To the same end. 😄

[stoic cargo]

well that is weird, stopped playing and popped out for a drink with friends... that was 7 hours ago

don't drink and drive .... a sea truck

[carmine bobcat]

feels weird to have a tool work form one side and not the other. I mean once you see that it doesn't work the first time why would you assume you just need to be on the other side of it to do it?

[median fulcrum]

I didn't. I assumed that I didn't have what it took to get through and left it alone.

[vivid geyser]

I am thinking of investigating whats beyond that bridge thing. However.. should i use the suit or the hover thing?

[turbid stag]

how do you trigger the repair tool in the prawn suit glitch?

[vivid geyser]

I am missing a hover thing fragment but I got a suit

[burnt gate]

yes don’t drink the seatruck

[deep kettle]

Magic :3

[bold monolith]

It is, but from a gameplay standpoint they don't want you to go in the other side since it leads to Arctic Spires, and you're supposed to repair the bridge.

[empty hatch]

I was thinking I'd have to acquire some heat based implement, or just bust through it with the prawn 🤣

[turbid stag]

please tell me 😦

[stoic cargo]

prawn for safety .... snowfox for our entertainment '

[carmine bobcat]

snow fox all the way, there's some things that will require you to move fast beyond it

[deep kettle]

Why would you need it?

[vivid geyser]

where do I even find all the fragments?

[empty hatch]

I've heard you can bypass the bridge by grappling across. Not sure if you're aware of that but I kinda want it kept in as a secret-ish ninja solution

[carmine bobcat]

they're scattered around the arctic biome

[vivid geyser]

i found one at marge, another one somewhere else

[turbid stag]

shadows keep attacking me

[empty hatch]

Maybe speedruners would do it

[turbid stag]

they take 30% off the prawn per attack

[bold monolith]

You can also build things.

[carmine bobcat]

you just stumble upon them by exploring, there's no particular area afaik

[empty hatch]

Oh yeah lol

[turbid stag]

and their attacks happen WAY to often

[stoic cargo]

do what?

[bold monolith]

But it won't be fixed for obvious reasons.

If players want to exploit this, feel free.

[empty hatch]

What a simple solution

[turbid stag]

Shadows keep attacking me and they do 30% to the prawn

[stoic cargo]

are you still playing the game or over it? you must have done a ton of hours?

[deep kettle]

Exploiting a bug doesn't really seem the solution to that though.

[turbid stag]

it would help

[vivid geyser]

God i need magnetite

i got one piece, but i forgot where I got it..

[wind thorn]

Guys which is a good place to find lead?

[broken coral]

Uhh, should I pick up ion cubes?

[median fulcrum]

I get most of what I need through monkeys, and the rest down in the ||deep lilies||

[bitter lily]

Question: Why is it that when you turn away from the Executive’s Toy it stops?

[median fulcrum]

See? SEE?! I'm not the only one needing more lead! 😉

[vivid geyser]

Does the sea monki give magnetite?

[bold monolith]

I do have a lot of hours. And I still play the game. Playtesting doesn't stop when the game is done, you still have bugs.

[deep kettle]

Everyone needs more lead xD

[turbid stag]

id just rather not get out out of the prawn to repair it thats all

[median fulcrum]

Pin your recipes, and they'll frequently give you that.

Er, the things in that/those pin(s).

[broken coral]

Do I need to pick up ion cubes?

[carmine bobcat]

||there's a ton of it in the arctic biome in ore veins, legit filled my inventory with it||

[empty hatch]

It's a quantum executive toy. It stops working when it's not observed

[empty hatch]

Yeah. Useful for endgame, rare resource and in finite amounts

[median fulcrum]

Ooo, thank you.

[stoic cargo]

appreciate the help you have given to me and others

[deep kettle]

Ignis in secret has over 3000 hours mean while 👀

[bold monolith]

I have 1,100.

[empty hatch]

Membuh the old days when you just shipped a game on a cartridge and hoped for the best?

[stoic cargo]

wow

[burnt gate]

😳

[deep kettle]

That still happens don't worry, except the cartridge.

😆

[empty hatch]

u>

[carmine bobcat]

||they're a bit hidden though so you need to go in the little caves or sometimes use the spy pengling||

[burnt gate]

it only happens because of me

i will feast on all the cartridges

[empty hatch]

By this I mean no post-launch support, patches, so forth

[median fulcrum]

I just want to build my base at the north first. Because now it's personal. 😛

[deep kettle]

People drop their games after launch all the time, especially smaller games that don't make enough money from it.

[carmine bobcat]

Greetings.

[empty hatch]

Mm, I guess. But patch culture is so ingrained at this point

[stoic cargo]

I see the potential in open world games for mods to allow huge replayability .... I hope this game allows that

[frozen radish]

Ive explored ||all 15 alien tech sites and i think i finished marguerits storyline but al-an aint guiding me anymore|| what to do?

[carmine bobcat]

building above the water is cool, they made work better than it did in the first game. Though there isn't much variety there, basically just penglings and snow stalkers. ||And snow worms.|| I was hoping for more distinct fauna in the above ground biomes.

[carmine bobcat]

you need to resolve things on your own.

[deep kettle]

There are mods for PC available, they have also announced official modding support. But we don't know much about that yet, it's still very much a WIP.

[median fulcrum]

Yeah. I was really wanting to make a whole garden out of the cool plants, but more than half of them can't be planted. :/

[burnt gate]

have been to|| fabricator facility ||

[stoic cargo]

I thought it was 14 but have also done them all

[empty hatch]

I noticed that, I kinda liked that I could get seeds from and plant the various plants in OG subnautica, even if they didn't have a use

[stoic cargo]

you need to solve all hollow icebergs

[carmine bobcat]

you can only get seeds from usable plants now?

[frozen radish]

No not yet, isnt ||al-an|| supposed to tell me

[empty hatch]

There's also sam's story

[neat granite]

I need help

[median fulcrum]

No, you can get some from useless plants, but only a handful (and all of them were in the original Subnautica).

[neat granite]

Ive made depth module mk1 but how do you put it in the seatruck

[frozen radish]

Oh, i didnt get much out of the pda from ||marguerits greenhouse||

[carmine bobcat]

Hmph.

[burnt gate]

have you been to the ||crystal caverns ||then

[stoic cargo]

yeah cannot grow frost anemele thingys

[carmine bobcat]

there's a hatch near the entrance one

[frozen radish]

I just said no

[carmine bobcat]

you open it and it has four slots

[turbid stag]

where do you find the organs for al an

[empty hatch]

Have you been to all the research facilities?

[neat granite]

THX

[turbid stag]

ive found tissues and skeleton

[frozen radish]

Not in the ||crystal one yet||

[tidal marsh]

||how do you craft the module's that you can put on the seatruck||

[median fulcrum]

I wanted to grow the plants inside ||the tranquil Architecht garden||. And the trees on the plateau.

[burnt gate]

mobile vehicle bay

[stoic cargo]

Steam Workshop would be awesome ... I loved doing stuff for Kenshi

[carmine bobcat]

where to find gold im in early game

[frozen radish]

||mobile vehicle center||

[tidal marsh]

i cant find it

[frozen radish]

You got the blueprints unlocked?

[tidal marsh]

||do i need to make the MK1 depth module?||

[burnt gate]

have you check down in twisty bridges

[tidal marsh]

yes

[carmine bobcat]

||in those caves in the kelp forest biomes. The ones full of roots with pustules and sea monkeys||

[tidal marsh]

and yes

[quartz pilot]

can the devs please add a hug option?
i will not mind it biting my face off

[burnt gate]

you should be able to make a mobile vehicle bay in deployables

[carmine bobcat]

there's the brownish and rounded resource nodes. Those contain gold with some regularity.

[tidal marsh]

||i made it but i cant find it all i can do is craft MK 1 depth module||

[quartz pilot]

i have added 2 penglings to my creature collection
i feel horrible and want to return them

[burnt gate]

you made that fabricator not the mobile vehicle bay

this is mobile vehicle bay

[tidal marsh]

i made that oh wait.......

im dumb

[carmine bobcat]

Do what you wish to do.the fate of those biological "penglings" is for you to decide.

[carmine bobcat]

I mowed down so many on accident while exploring on the snowfox. 😐 their screeching haunts my nightmares

If you wish to restrain them to an artificial enclosure,then provide empathy and the provided condition for their survival.

[deep kettle]

😔

[median fulcrum]

I just want pinnicarids in my aquarium. D:

[empty hatch]

Bruh I kinda wanna live here

[burnt gate]

you have to find thier eggs

[carmine bobcat]

fancy

[vivid geyser]

does sea monki give nickel?

[median fulcrum]

Wait. You can put them in an aquarium and not just an alien containment?!

[stoic cargo]

yesss

[carmine bobcat]

also I realised why I like Subnautica's building aesthetic so much. It reminds me of Star Trek TNG's Enterprise sets

[vivid geyser]

pogg

[quartz pilot]

i will set the penglings free. once my collection is ready i will just temparely borrow them from their parents for a picture

[carmine bobcat]

An organised base.

[cloud prism]

does anybody know how to kill spiky trap?

[burnt gate]

oh wait sorry

[deep kettle]

Not sure if you can.

[median fulcrum]

Yeah. Don't get me wrong: I want them in containment, too, but I wanted to put it in an aquarium. Like, actual aquarium. 😄

[burnt gate]

i think you can knife them because they are plant
