[unkempt bronze]

Fowards

From the dock

[quaint cloud]

K

[quaint cloud]

Looks like this?

[unkempt bronze]

Should be much bigger

Maybe go to the right a bit?

[quaint cloud]

Well there is a blizzard

[unkempt bronze]

Hm.

[quaint cloud]

Oh hold on

[unkempt bronze]

There should be a large claw shaped ice formation near the side of it

[quaint cloud]

This???

[coral silo]

bruh i need to go past 2 void shrimp to get to an alien artifact

[quaint cloud]

What

Where is it

[unkempt bronze]

That should be it, I'm horrible with directions

[quaint cloud]

K

[small wagon]

is that where magureits greenhouse is

[unkempt bronze]

Nope

[quaint cloud]

No

It's near omega base

[echo locust]

Just upload the geometry dash practice song and they’ll start dancing to it

[unkempt bronze]

Delta not omega

[quaint cloud]

No its near omega as well

[small wagon]

what biome is under the base

[quaint cloud]

Arctic and Arctic kelp

[unkempt bronze]

Let me go into nodamage to see

[vestal comet]

where can i find the ||frozen leviathan||

[small wagon]

west arctic?

[quaint cloud]

No near the big mountain and where you start east i think

[quaint cloud]

Very back of west land mass near past phi robotics

[unkempt bronze]

Purple vents are beneath this area

[vestal comet]

||and wheres phi lol||

[quaint cloud]

Oh than i am at wrong one

[small wagon]

oh ok

is the chelicerate there?

[quaint cloud]

West land mass

[vestal comet]

ty

[quaint cloud]

What ventgarden is best for a base

[quaint cloud]

Yes yes and yes

Someone send help

[velvet karma]

you in the void?

I'm sure you'll be fine

[quaint cloud]

Nope insidea a vent garden

[high locust]

go pet the fish

[quaint cloud]

Ehhhhh no thank you

[high locust]

it wont bite

[quaint cloud]

Yes it will

[velvet karma]

PET da FISH

the fish look friendly

[high locust]

do it

[quaint cloud]

I dont have a sea truck to zap it with

[high locust]

or else

use your hands

[quaint cloud]

I died

[velvet karma]

bruh

non gamer right here

[high locust]

your bad at petting fish

[velvet karma]

^^^

[quaint cloud]

Both hit me at once no chance for even the animation

[unkempt bronze]

I beat one up with a prawn and moved it far away

[quaint cloud]

I didn't have a vehicle i petted them and died

[unkempt bronze]

The other can be evaded using some 200iq evasion tactics

[velvet karma]

Or they can just be z a p p e d

[unkempt bronze]

Parkour on the ice

[quaint cloud]

With only a sea glide

In the tree spires 300 meters down

[high locust]

kden

[velvet karma]

but why

[quaint cloud]

I dont know

[velvet karma]

cool 👍

[vestal comet]

do i need to get up there to go to phi?

[rocky seal]

Sometimes i die and it shows that i lost some items, and sometimes it just shows that i died. Is this random?

[quaint cloud]

I think so

[echo locust]

Isn’t phi at the entrance of the glacial basin?

[vestal comet]

idk lol i have been looking for so long and cant find it

[wind hatch]

I just used a yt tutorial by indie games, i made it on foot no cold suit

[vestal comet]

thanks

[broken badge]

You don’t have to cross the bridge to go to Phi

[delicate fossil]

The ||fabricator caverns || has 2 || shadow leviathans || right next to eachother.

[vestal comet]

thank god lolok good to know

[broken badge]

There’s other important things across the bridge but you go thru a cave to reach Phi

[delicate fossil]

Guess it was too easy to avoid the leviathans in the first game so they just throw them at you now.

[white sun]

hello

[carmine bobcat]

Who else finds the old levations more scary then the new ones

[white sun]

me

[white abyss]

That's no where near Phi Robotics

[surreal tusk]

well hello

[maiden sonnet]

Anyone know if there's plans to add HDR support, so we can experience the full dynamic range of the lighting?

[surreal tusk]

well sometimes

[maiden sonnet]

It'd be breathtaking I bet

[surreal tusk]

im not very sure on that but i dont think so....

sadly

[maiden sonnet]

Is there someone here who knows with more certainty?

[green wren]

someone please add ray tracing

[maiden sonnet]

That's a lot less likely than HDR

[surreal tusk]

......

give the devs the feedback

[maiden sonnet]

Especially full raytracing rather than the hacks RTX cards do

[surreal tusk]

they might get back to you guys and maybe implement it

[carmine bobcat]

The reaper lavation is alot more scary then the shadow or the celeltas if thata how its spelled

[surreal tusk]

chelicerate

but yea agreed

[delicate fossil]

The reaper just likes to yell

[surreal tusk]

and hug

[round crown]

Imagine if you could make extra long moonpools

[atomic glade]

how come I can't use the mobile vehicle bay?
it just says no power

nvm

[carmine bobcat]

as someone who has litteraly every phobia that makes subnautica scary, (aka the expert on being scared) those god damn shrimp sharks are scarier imo

celicerates

[surreal quarry]

Has anyone else run into a bug where you can’t dock the prawn suit on the sea truck docking module. Saved and quit while it was docked, then when I loaded again, my prawn suit fell off. I tried making a brand new prawn and a brand new module it still refuses to dock.

[olive coral]

100% yes

[carmine bobcat]

No I'm on switch and the game just crashes every once in a while

[silent gulch]

can someone help me navigate the glacial bay?

[olive coral]

Basin or bay?

[silent gulch]

idk the one with the bridge

i just did the bridge

[olive coral]

Across the bridge or not

[silent gulch]

idk thats why i need help i dont know where to go

[olive coral]

I can't help you if you don't know if your across it or not

[carmine bobcat]

I like that they got rid of the sea moth and replaced it and the cyclops with the sea truck

[silent gulch]

im on the bridge

[surreal quarry]

Well turns out I’m actually an idiot and had to put the docking module on the sea truck before putting the prawn on it

[olive coral]

Go down the slightly slanted slope

Of the bridge

[carmine bobcat]

But I hate that they made it so you cant customize the inside of the seat ruck with lockers and stuff

[silent gulch]

on which side? the dock side or across the bridge?

[olive coral]

Dock

There should be a cave not across the bridge

[silent gulch]

i already found the architect generator btw

[olive coral]

Well that's across the bridge

[carmine bobcat]

Anyone else miss the lantern tree

[olive coral]

It's still here

??

[silent gulch]

Oh well tehn i cheated an just jumped accross with the prawn

[carmine bobcat]

It is

[olive coral]

Yes

[olive coral]

Well go back

[carmine bobcat]

Oo never found it then I'm dumb

[past island]

I have noticed that two of my shadow leviathans disappeared.
I can see their mark when i use the radar room but when i reach the place where the leviathans should be there is  only an orange spot.

[stoic cargo]

Miss as in walked past it and did not notice?

there are lantern trees in BZ

[carmine bobcat]

I'm very clue less lol and my inventory was full at the time

[stoic cargo]

what are you looking for?

[carmine bobcat]

Nothing just continuing the story

[stoic cargo]

Odd thing with full inventory you can still add batteries and they appear once you have free slots

[carmine bobcat]

Also is 4 bio reactors over kill cuz I have 4 lol

[stoic cargo]

are you a prepper?

[carmine bobcat]

I dont think I just do

[stoic cargo]

do you play The Isle?

[carmine bobcat]

Also is it ironic I found the golden trivalves and not the normal ones first

[carmine bobcat]

No

[stoic cargo]

another dinosaur game?

[carmine bobcat]

No

[stoic cargo]

hmmm but your icon and name

[carmine bobcat]

Tho I have watch all the jurrassic park and worls movies 20 times each

[stoic cargo]

ok that qualifies

[carmine bobcat]

Al

Also who thinks that the shadow levaition is a wanna be reaper lol

[stoic cargo]

I actually had some freaky shadow incidents in my last playthrough .... did the 2 deep places with just tanks as was playing without a build tool and so had no deep vehicle upgrades

lucky I upgraded to booster tanks .... does not leave much space when you have 4 of them on you though

after build mats I had room for 1 first aid kit

and a tether tool to zoom back

[carmine bobcat]

i wanna base in the ||tree spires right underneath the ventgarden||, but bc i hate them i wanna kill the ||chelicerates in the biome||, if i kill them using the instagib cheat will they respawn?

[vapid kestrel]

No

[carmine bobcat]

so, just to be clear, if i kill them, they wont respawn and i wont have to worry about them in that biome ever again?

[vapid kestrel]

Yes

[carmine bobcat]

ok thank you so much

[hardy bridge]

eat that u monster

[delicate fossil]

I just finished the game, but I am missing 1 achievement

[silent gulch]

can someone who actuall knows the glacial bay/ basin help me im lost and dont know how to get out

[delicate fossil]

I still have trouble finding where to go in that area

[carmine bobcat]

I killed that thing with a prawn suit with no upgrades on it

Felt pretty good afterwards

[vestal comet]

i have searched a while and i cannot find the frozen leviathan

[silent gulch]

dude same

[delicate fossil]

I just need the || finding the cure || achievement. Probably try getting it tomorrow.

|| I also wonder how Robin thought about getting off of 4546B before she met Al-An. Like say if she actually found her sister's body. What was she supposed to do then? ||

[silent gulch]

Can you disconnect individual seatruck modules?

[carmine bobcat]

Yes.

[stoic cargo]

The entire || motivation of risking her life on what seemed like a one way trip in order to get answers is weird ||

[stoic cargo]

yes, just grab the bars on top to separate

[surreal tusk]

hi

[surreal tusk]

the cure is in one of the cracks and a spy pengling is needed to get it

[broken badge]

I do agree. Like how did she think she’d ||”find her way back”||

[surreal tusk]

maybe alterra would get her back?

[broken badge]

Also that pengling map imo was pretty awful to find that “special thing” I had to watch a video

Nowhere near where the map was pointing

[surreal tusk]

idk i just like the fact that subnautica bz made it such that the spy pengling was made useful becasue like first, it was just for ores but now its the anitdote

[broken badge]

Spoilers-but yeah it’s nice (other than how many of the little cubbies were just quartz, ugh)

[surreal tusk]

well yes but still

but subnautica bz story is all over the place

theres like 3 diff storylines in one

[regal dagger]

Agree

[broken badge]

Even og Subnautica is sorta non-linear

[surreal tusk]

but still it had one main goal

[muted kite]

Was the blue tablet that Preston was chewing on ever used?

[broken badge]

No

[muted kite]

Weird

I was wondering if I'd missed something when I beat it

[broken badge]

I think it was just a nod to the old game

[muted kite]

Maybe

[surreal tusk]

yea prob

early access also made use of it

[broken badge]

Oh maybe from that then

Never had BZ in early access since it wasn’t on consoles

[surreal tusk]

idk both made use of it

[regal dagger]

It existed but cut

[steep pulsar]

I've heard Shadow Leviathans were meant to grab you vehicle,was that ever added ?

[regal dagger]

Yes

[steep pulsar]

:0

I didn't buy BZ yet,i'm rlly hyped tho lmao

[regal dagger]

Its like reper levi

[muted kite]

I feel like bz Leviathans are less iconic but so much cooler looking

[steep pulsar]

Yeah

[muted kite]

||Ice worm|| is so cool

[regal dagger]

Agree

[steep pulsar]

I feel like ||Ice Worm|| will eventually be the Reaper of BZ

At least on levels of how iconic it is to the game's history

[surreal tusk]

but ice worm spawn only in the arctic spires area

[muted kite]

I wish there was more to do on the ice lands

[steep pulsar]

Can you build on them ?

[muted kite]

Like the artic spires and the rest of them

Yea

[steep pulsar]

Thank god

[surreal tusk]

but i wish there were reefbacks

[steep pulsar]

I liked them a lot,but the glow whales are a good replacement

[muted kite]

Glow whales are nice but they're not as good yea

If glow whales were more common

[surreal tusk]

they should also add like the riding mechanic to the reefies instead of glow whales

[steep pulsar]

If they were bigger they'd easily be my favorite leviathan

[surreal tusk]

vent garden

[muted kite]

I love vent gardens but again I wish there were more common

[steep pulsar]

Didn't play the game yet so if ur trying to tell me that's where you can find bigger Glow Whales thx ig

[surreal tusk]

well yes

[muted kite]

And I also wish the sparse arctic was a real biome

It's too sparse

[steep pulsar]

My god

[muted kite]

Which sorta makes it boring

[steep pulsar]

I plan on making a pogging BZ creature,like i did the Reaper,which one should i do ? :^

[muted kite]

Squidshark

[steep pulsar]

How would i do the mouth-

[regal dagger]

Agree

Idk think

[muted kite]

I would've thought that'd be the easiest

[muted kite]

Since the mouth extends anyway

God I love squidsharks

[surreal tusk]

but they suck cos they just remove ur power

from like seatrucks

[abstract kestrel]

hello ||I build alans parts but there is no way to start the transfer. is there a known bug to get softlocked? Ive looked up on yt vids. and I dont have a button/sign to start the transfer process.|| any help or restart the game?

[surreal tusk]

so the body is alr built right?

[carmine bobcat]

ventgarden, lol

[abstract kestrel]

||all build, all 3 fabricators in that facility are used. I know where to stand to get the button to start but it doesnt even appear on screen|| /SPOILER

[surreal tusk]

hmmm maybe save and reload the world

[carmine bobcat]

spoiler

put a spoiler on that

[steep pulsar]

Huh

[abstract kestrel]

how?@carmine bobcat

[carmine bobcat]

||

[steep pulsar]

I forgot Vent Gardens were a creature not a biome

[surreal tusk]

slash spoiler

/ spoiler

[steep pulsar]

That would cover the wholle message btw

[carmine bobcat]

put || on both sides of a message (hold shift and press the button above "enter")

[surreal tusk]

well yes

[carmine bobcat]

im assuming your on a pc

[steep pulsar]

If you wanna cover specific parts just use || before and after the part you wanna cover

[surreal tusk]

||this is a spoiler||

[steep pulsar]

||Like dis||

[abstract kestrel]

no mobile

[surreal tusk]

special characters has it

[steep pulsar]

My phone just has it as a symbol,i assume yours does too ?

[muted kite]

| this symbol

Two either side

[steep pulsar]

Just copy dis

||

[surreal tusk]

yea lmao

[steep pulsar]

Is there an equivalent to the Cyclops in BZ ? Like a massive submarine that can be used as a mobile base ?

[surreal tusk]

ig just expand the seatruck

cyclops cant be spawned in bz i think

but that would be commands

[steep pulsar]

Ig it does serve as a Seamoth AND Cyclops huh

The seatruck that is

[regal dagger]

Yes

[surreal tusk]

seamoth can be spawned in using commands

[muted kite]

I love the seatruck

[surreal tusk]

its just glowy white but it works

[muted kite]

It's perfect

[steep pulsar]

Rlly ? I thought they were totally removed

[surreal tusk]

nop

[steep pulsar]

Huh

[muted kite]

You can use it as a base or separate it

[surreal tusk]

commands still work to spawn seamoth

[steep pulsar]

The Seatruck sounds so cool

[surreal tusk]

i feel the seamoth has more like a slim look to it

[steep pulsar]

But it ain't a truck

I need a reason to use ma trucker hat

[surreal tusk]

seatruck looks a little bulky

[muted kite]

It needs to be though

To fit things

But I agree that the seamoth looks nicer

[surreal tusk]

yea but those are the modules to fit stuff

but the base one isnt as useful cos its bulky and cant fit into as many gaps

[muted kite]

I suppose so

But then bz is built around the seatruck being able to fit in places

And regular subnautica for the seamoth

[surreal tusk]

yea ig so

[carmine bobcat]

grav traps are sooo underrated

early game

[abstract kestrel]

@carmine bobcat finally figured out how to mark as spoilers. thx

[carmine bobcat]

kk

[regal dagger]

Im sad that the seatruk can only 150 m or how he says

[steep pulsar]

You can upgrade it

I hope

[sharp frigate]

you can

[regal dagger]

U can but u need lthium

[steep pulsar]

Alright thank god

[regal dagger]

And i cant find it without dieing

[steep pulsar]

Idk how rare ores are in BZ so i might wanna see myself out and come back once i've bought the game

[carmine bobcat]

you can find it all over the ||purple vents|| i think

or in the ||koppa mining site||

[abstract kestrel]

ore are en mass no worry to run out of stuff

[regal dagger]

Where is that ??

[abstract kestrel]

south of map

eastish

[carmine bobcat]

||in the thermal spires, i would suggest looking up a video bc its kinda hard to find||

[regal dagger]

Good ok

Tnx

[abstract kestrel]

@regal dagger you can reach || mining site easy when exploring around the island. just look down and you see the entrance||

[regal dagger]

Ok

[abstract kestrel]

@regal dagger || east of the island (about 400m away)maybe little south, are purple vents ||

[carmine bobcat]

whoooooo, started a new playthough yesterday bc i heard the game got fully released. just got a seamoth

2 hours in

[abstract kestrel]

seatruck

moth only exists deep in the code of the game

[carmine bobcat]

my mistake

[abstract kestrel]

naaa the small engine unit reminds me of the moth too. called it moth at beginning a lot

[carmine bobcat]

no i litteraly was tihnking seatruck when i was typing, it was just a typo

[clever karma]

ok so i remember now that another thing that contributed to yesterday's failure to explore the crystal caverns was that my prawn didnt have the depth module, so that + shadow =ded prawn

[fervent nebula]

i think I broke the game xD

• terrain stopped loading in properly (only the base terrain, but nothing else)
• it is stuck on saving
• I cannot leave the game without killing the task

BUT the bug report function works, so I used it ofc :p

[echo locust]

Yeah that’s a bug

Wait, where did it happen?

@fervent nebula where did the terrain stop loading for you?

[carmine bobcat]

I SWEAR

[fervent nebula]

i was swimming around in the twisty bridges

[echo locust]

Hm guess it can happen anywhere

[fervent nebula]

only half an hour of progress, people have lost more than that, I guess I am gonna kill the game, i do not expect anything to happen

[echo locust]

Yeah luckily I had saved 4 minutes before it happened to me

[fervent nebula]

where did it happen to you? xD

[echo locust]

Leaving Marg’s base in the lily pads

[fervent nebula]

ah oof

well I am still a fan of an autosave option, I wonder why that is not a thing :/
crashes or other critical bugs can always happen, probably in any game that is more complex than tetris xD

[echo locust]

Auto save isn’t a thing cuz you can soft lock with it (especially in freedom mode) but you can use mods for it

[carmine bobcat]

so when's the update when we get a lava lamp for the base

[cosmic sage]

i got so depressed when i saw the seatruck

me thinking it could atleast go 250m underwater but nooo

[echo locust]

laughs in 1000m module

it used to be even worse because the moonpool was at 300m and was the only way to create the depth module so you either needed to make the prawn which could only be found unconventionally at the glacial basin and Mercury II or travel to the mines which is also 300m

[carmine bobcat]

ok at the start of the game ||alan makes a beacon marker called "architecht artifact x3", i went there and i only found 1 water tester? where is the other 2||

[echo locust]

Or try to swim blindly from your seatruck when leaving it at 150m

[echo locust]

You gotta find the other 2

X3 is the name of the artifact not the amount

[carmine bobcat]

oh,

yeah i just realisedits x3j

[echo locust]

Disregard my first comment where my mind blanked super super hard

I probably shouldn’t have speedrun so hard lol

[forest bramble]

fortnite

[terse folio]

how do i do spoiler tags in here?

[proud linden]

Is there anything to the crystal caverns beyond Alan artifact and kyanite?

Like anything I need or should check out, like a deeper biome or is it just all dead zone from here on out when it comes to progressing through the game?

[carmine bobcat]

is it weird to have multiple storage's?

[proud linden]

Why would that be weird? It's not like everything you have would fit in one. Not to mention organization and so forth.

[naive lynx]

I don't think it is. but I personally use the big room and add a lot of storage so that I won't have to make multiple multi purpose rooms

[next mantle]

i typically stuff my lockers in a I corridor

[clever karma]

i have plenty of storage lockers

[next mantle]

use multipurpose room for other things, like farms or bedrooms

[naive lynx]

I'd recommend having around 6 to 12 large lockers in one multip purpose room and you'll be sorted

[next mantle]

i use wall lockers because labels

[naive lynx]

Yep

That's also a good idea

[proud linden]

So that's a no on there being anything worthwhile in crystal caverns beyond what I mentioned then?

[next mantle]

eh?

i think theres body fabricator in there if thats not what you mentioned

[proud linden]

You mean the artifact for Alan that gives you the organ recipe yeah?

[naive lynx]

Yep

And the fabricator base is there to

[next mantle]

||no i mean a base where you make alan body||

[naive lynx]

But

Spoilder, on the way to the fabricator base your gonna meet multiple leviathans so be ready

[next mantle]

multiple?

[naive lynx]

Yes

[next mantle]

just a few shadows at best

bring a seatruck with permiter defense to not care

[naive lynx]

I got attacked by like 3

[next mantle]

i wish seatruck had a fridge module

[naive lynx]

True

Alan looks pretty sick tho

[proud linden]

Oof I must've just missed it

Pretty bummed that the shadow leviathans are the big scary in this game

[naive lynx]

But I wish there was more to do with him other than just make him

[proud linden]

Tbh just basic reaper from sub is better than anything I've seen thus far

[carmine bobcat]

ive only played subzero

[proud linden]

Shadow leaviathons are cool but feel very weak sauce for such a supposed heavy hitter. The vent dragons look neat but do nothing but swim aimlessly like the bone sharks from sub and whatever those stalker replacements seem to be similar in that way.

[carmine bobcat]

not the original

because i watched dan and jackcepticeye play it

[proud linden]

The squid sharks are neat tho, they're the only thing that feels like it fits the proper balance of how scary/cool it looks and how dangerous it actually is.

[naive lynx]

The leviathan in first sub killed me one hit. It's so easy to dodge the shadow levi even tho if he does attack it takes like 2-3 hits to kill

[proud linden]

Oh and also, the sea truck is...well, disappointing to say the least now that I've had a good chunk of time with it.

[naive lynx]

Very

[proud linden]

Like hey, what if we took all the bad things from the sea moth and the cyclops and combined them with next to none of their good things?

Like just why?

[naive lynx]

Yeah

[proud linden]

Even the shape makes 0 sense literally none

[naive lynx]

I wish we could tho bring back to life mercury II

[proud linden]

The seamoth shape is ovalish, ie very cave adapted while the sea truck is boxy and oddly bulbous.

[carmine bobcat]

so i pretty much jumped in the game blind

[naive lynx]

And the snow landing pad is dead

Like I expected something to be with it

[proud linden]

Bruh I'm playing subnautica

[naive lynx]

But it's just there sitting

[proud linden]

You think I'm staying on land for longer than 5 mins?

Gtfoh with that obligatory boringness

[naive lynx]

Yeah

[lost moss]

I was wondering why the landing pad is marked by the beacon.

[proud linden]

I want the story so now I gotta drive around an empty white boringness with maybe some creatures I can't do anything about or to or really anything with? Like come on man.

[naive lynx]

Exactly ikr. It's so dead it's disappointing

[proud linden]

Idk, I don't mean to rag on it, because I truly enjoy this game and subnautica as a whole so much but dang dude. Being on land in sbz is like doing an endless escort mission with no clear objective until you stumble into it.

[naive lynx]

Dude I wanted to adopt a snow lion or whatever they are called

The babies are so cute

[proud linden]

^

Also, I wanna write a letter to whoever wasted their time on the aquarium module

[naive lynx]

Yeah

[proud linden]

I somehow missed the alien containment scan in the ship and thought the aquarium module was gonna be something super cool to replace that and then I was like oh, it's literally just a fish tank, like the aquarium I built on my cyclops only less cool and it makes my seat ruck even more unwieldy.

[naive lynx]

I've gotten most of the creature eggs and I'm surprised I can have a the black sea monster whatever it's called in my Aquarium. But not the snow lion

[proud linden]

Which on that note, am I the only idiot who thought the sea truck would bend more like a snake, ie making it easy and smooth to handle despite its potentially ridiculous length?

[naive lynx]

Yeah

[proud linden]

Not be some rigid pillbox

[naive lynx]

It's so annoying the sea truck.

I bag they change the design of it

[proud linden]

Like why tf do they even have rubber flexible looking connecting parts like a train just to spit in your face about it?

[lone marlin]

I don't mind the Sea Truck, it's the Prawn that doesn't have a clearly defined role in BZ.

[proud linden]

I just can't with the sea truck, I'm always banging the sides of caves with it and I swear I can probably count on one hand how many times I did that with the seamoth. It's annoying especially considering their love for tight cave systems in this game.

[naive lynx]

Yeah

[proud linden]

Lol wuht?

Is bulk resource gathering capabilities and a greater depth not clearly defined enough?

[lone marlin]

Drill a few resources, but you can finish the game without it.

[carmine bobcat]

bruh it looks nice

[proud linden]

Plus easier to hide away and dash away than sea truck potentially

[lone marlin]

It does, and it's fun, but less of a defined role.

[proud linden]

Lol yeah. But you can say that about a ton of stuff in subnautica, that doesn't mean it doesn't have a clearly defined role.

It has a role, just not one born out of pure necessity and nothing else.

You don't need the thermoknife but it sure is helpful

You don't need an ultra high cap tank per se but it's helpful

[proud linden]

It looks nice but my multiple aquariums and home garden in my cyclops looked better and didn't make it more difficult/annoying to pilot my vessel.

[carmine bobcat]

its worth

[proud linden]

Like if they add the snake bend thing to the seatruck like any sensible person would, the seatruck might just have the potential to be an awesome seamoth cyclops hybrid like they were clearly trying to go for.

[carmine bobcat]

you dont actually need anything in the game

to just survive

all u need to do is grab fishes and cook them

and drink bladderfishes

[lost moss]

I think sea truck should be used as a mobile base. You have fabricator, you have storage, you have prawn dock. You go somewhere, leave the sea truck, go into the prawn, explore. When you have full inventory or need water or food you go back to sea truck and you don't have to go all the way back to your main base. The only thing you need from the base is recharged batteries (unless you have this fancy module which recharges batteries from heat). I think sea truck wasn't meant to go deep into caves.

[proud linden]

Lol it definitley was though

It's clearly meant to be a hybrid of the seamoth and cyclops hence both not being in this game and you having the option to turn your seamoth rip off into a cyclops rip off whenever you choose.

[lone marlin]

Maybe not all the little twisty caves...

[proud linden]

Sure to an extent obviously, but again, when they are big enough for the seamoth to fit through easily and clearly not too small for the seatruck to fit through, it would seem the devs are giving the green light to go.

The problem is yet again, the shape of the seatruck is so odd that it doesn't fit as smoothly with the contours of the caves. And this isn't even me saying with modules. This is purely just the seatruck as is compared to the seamoth as is.

Which on that note I'll leave by adding, the fact that you need a whole seperate physical module for storage and not just a simple upgrade module to insert is pretty lame (especially considering the name is seatruck and trucks are all about having storage/carrying capacity TO BEGIN WITH). Granted it is a much larger amount of storage but still, kinda meh. I'd just personally take an upgrade insert and keep maneuverability than more storage than I really need and less maneuverability.

[cosmic sage]

i miss my cyclops

it was a driveable base i miss the fact that i didnt need to think of food or water all the time becasue growbeds were in the cyclops without problems so plant some food and you're good to go, I dont feel like i get the same with the seatruck because first you gotta scan and craft the truck, which is fair and all, but to get the compartments you gotta find, scan and buld them aswell to get extra storage, i dont like that but thats just my opinion

[steady laurel]

The thing with the cyclops was that it was too op. And the cyclops needed 9 scans and that the same for a 3 long seatruck

With the head counted

[cosmic sage]

and yet becasue come within range of say a reaper or a ghost levi and it would be destroyed quickly, plus all the scan thingys to the cyclops were in the same area or atleast most of them were, and yet with the cyclops you got: storage, docking bay and a lot of room to make a mini base which was nice instead of having to return every now and then to get food and water when you traveled to underwater lake and forwards

[steady laurel]

The thing is you never needed a base after getting the cyclops beside charging (or thermal upgrade). So now there is more uses for a base.

[next mantle]

seatruck makes for a semi decent base too though, and its really durable too

probably stronger than prawn tbh

would be nice to have hydroponics segment. or atleast a storage segment with fridges

good thing salads dont spoil...

[proud linden]

So I lied I'm back. Just finished going to the fab base before realizing it was a mostly pointless journey.

[wheat berry]

Below zero worth it for 30 bucks or should I wait for sale

I went in semi blind into subnautica so I might as well go blind into subzero

@steady laurel what the hell you talking about cyclops is not OP, it's slow, is quite expensive and can be easily destroyed by leviathans

[eternal garnet]

yes

[proud linden]

Something you said reminded me of a major issue I have with the seatruck, particularly since it is again clearly meant to be a hybrid replacement for the cyclops and seamoth. Despite its sections allowing it to reach an absurdly unwieldy length, there is no way of adding cameras to the damn thing to better see for backing up and so on. Like why? Just why?

@cosmic sage

[wheat berry]

Cameras was a big feature of the cyclops yeah

[eternal garnet]

there was a back camera, it got removed late probably because of issues. It may well return

[wheat berry]

Idk, sea truck seems clunky

And it has a crush depth of 150 and the prawn 400

[proud linden]

Bruh seatruck is a clear you gotta take what you can and work with it.

[wheat berry]

Clunky doesn't mean it's bad really

[eternal garnet]

debating cyclops is pointless

[proud linden]

You'll def wish you had the seamoth or cyclops 100% of the time instead of the truck

[wheat berry]

I'll still get the game soon

[proud linden]

Truck can be useful and I think with some reworking can truly be just as great or greater than the previous vessels. Also yes despite its flaws subnautica below zero is definitley worth $30 imo.

[wheat berry]

But my first thing after the prawn will be to get the docking module for the seatruck and depth upgrades as without grappling arm the prawn is kinda immobile

The main advantage of the cyclops 2as that it had the same default depth as the prawn, making it convenient for early resource gathering

[proud linden]

Haven't finished it yet but to me, it still has enough of the subnautica feel to be worth $30, especially with a nice fresh coat to that old charm.

Agreed, also imma tell you right now to be disappointed by the truck docking by comparison to the cyclops.

[cosmic sage]

Thats also a fair thing to mention

[proud linden]

There's no way to go from the truck right to the prawn. You have to get out then get in and vice versa when you dock. Not a major draw back but kinda annoying considering.

[wheat berry]

Below zero what are some places to avoid

[proud linden]

DEADZONE

That's about it tbh

[wheat berry]

There is? What leviathan spawns there

[proud linden]

Everything else is kinda small potatoes

[wheat berry]

I mean with a stasis rifle I am a literal God

[proud linden]

Idk, I didn't even see a leviathon

Just a suped up reg sorta reaper esque class dude who ripped me a new one from a few hundred meters all the way to the surface. Ate my truck, and then me.

[wheat berry]

Not everything borders the see tough the world edge also has a land part I 5jink

@proud linden ||it's the reaper ripoff but blue leviathan in the void||

||capacapaceratac idk||

[proud linden]

Lmfao that name tho

It's that shrimp shark looking guy but he was pale, ie I'm assuming sick hence the dead zone. Hence way more aggressive and deadly, ie chasing me from deep down to the surface and then some until he killed me.

But yeah, buy the game and enjoy it as best you can making the most out of it and pray for updates and maybe even dlc this time. Be prepared for some disappointments/let downs but it's nothing that will totally ruin the game or anything like that afaik.

[wheat berry]

There's also a squid shark

[cosmic sage]

that was not the impression i got, it has attacked me three times and all three times it would hit me once, then left me alone

[wheat berry]

||And the ghost leviathan ripoff||

Also are there friendly leviathans or na

[proud linden]

Well idk but that dude hated me bad lmfao. You're talking the one deep in the deadzone not the dude by the see through mushroom tree thing right?

@cosmic sage

[cosmic sage]

its not the one in the deadzone i dont think i have been there yet

[eternal garnet]

yes. When you see an obvious whale, go ride its head

[cosmic sage]

i mean i went to an area with no creatures but i didnt get anything from the pda or any levi attacked me

[proud linden]

Idk but I really hope so. Pretty sure glow whales don't count and are meant to be the reefbacks of this game but they're not nearly as cool. Neat but pretty meh by comparison, plus I feel like I rarely ever see them.

[cosmic sage]

i mean reefbacks were leviathans

[proud linden]

Oh okay then yeah technically

[wheat berry]

And sea treader's

Noot noot

[proud linden]

I forget leviathan is reaper and up, I always think ghost, emporer or larger as leviathan

[wheat berry]

There's a noot fish the f*ck is that

[proud linden]

It's weird looking

Cool tho imo

[eternal garnet]

noot noot

[wheat berry]

Does it make noot noise

[proud linden]

Nah

Or I haven't heard it

[wheat berry]

Why does it not make trumpet sounds that's so sad

[proud linden]

Nah bud you'll know the guy I'm talking about when you wake up back in your base after he mercilessly hunts you down until he kills everything you've ever loved lol.

[eternal garnet]

it has punny descriptions. Also cook it

[wheat berry]

It's gonna kill me when I eat it will it

[cosmic sage]

ah ok i will wait until that happens

[proud linden]

Personally I'd prefer a skeleton fish called doot doot

[wheat berry]

Is there something like the ||aurora where I will have to go to get stuff, I'm assuming the research bases or smth||

[proud linden]

Yeah I legit dipped my seatruck's toe into the deadzone and not 2 seconds after the pda told me I was in the deadzone did the dude clip through my truck and then proceed to bite chunks out of me until there was nothing left while I was super charging my speed trynna get outta there.

[eternal garnet]

yes

[wheat berry]

||not that one that's not nearly as dangerous||§@eternal garnet

[cosmic sage]

ah ok

[proud linden]

I straight up saw him clip through and immediately paused and sighed deeply for I knew I was already dead lol.

[wheat berry]

||is it dangerous to go to outpost zero||

[violet sparrow]

i cant find anymore monkey nests, i need more fragments from monkey nests, this is driving me mad

[eternal garnet]

I feel like it's best not to know. But ok: ||No it isn't||

[bold monolith]

They are always at the same place and there are 53.

[wheat berry]

||Well that makes finding the prawn easy||

[proud linden]

If you can't find something don't worry, they seem to scatter an excess of fragments at the bottom of the floor in various biomes, particularly in story important areas for obvious reasons.

So don't feel like you have to rely on the monkeys

[wheat berry]

Imagine monkeys swarming your prawn and ripping off its arms @proud linden

And stealing the power cells

That'd make them dangerous

[pearl cargo]

How many Mercury II story PDA are in the game?

[violet sparrow]

i found the fragemnts i was looking for and now I'm ready for my venture into ||the crystal caves with big worm of the great succ to see whats beyond it|| wish me luck

[wheat berry]

Bring the gods gun

I am not going to buy this game I am shi**ing my pants, they removed the stasis rifle the only thing that had me feel like a God and kept me safe oh God no

I will have to face leviathans without the stasis rifle

I am scared

[eternal garnet]

...

[proud linden]

All the best. Would recommend making sure that whenever you decide to exit to get resources or whatever that you park your truck in a safe place where the big sea centipede can't get to it or it'll continually attack your truck until it blows up and you're done for.

Actually I take that back, big sea centipede conjures a way cooler less accurate mental image than whispy black line with glowstick mouth.

[eternal garnet]

I hear stasis rifle is obtainable with a cheat code

[proud linden]

Honestly you're fine. Everything in this game is kind of a joke except the voids that legit only exist to keep you inside the game borders. Which makes them extremely lame now that I know that.

Like I said, one reaper from sub feels more potentially deadly or scary than everything in this game thus far other than maybe the whispy lines which are about the same level of threat feel that the regular reapers had at the end of the game.

[safe sun]

Honestly I agree, but I think that's also due to how tanky the vehicles are.

[proud linden]

So again, still not much. And again, still very fun, but ya sadly not really as scary or thrilling imo.

[safe sun]

Prawn can take 4 hits from a Shadow, making their attacks little more than a nuisance.

[wheat berry]

Reapers are also pack animals in subnautica

Usually, you find them in groups or close to other members in opposition to the ghost leviathans

[safe sun]

No they aren't lol

[proud linden]

Yeah I could see that, I'd just say up the damage and add mods to help combat that be it via extra speed, armor, torps or whatever.

Also yeah they definitley aren't pack animals lol

[safe sun]

Agreed. Waiting on that QCreatureConfig mod to be ported over 😄

[wheat berry]

Not actually pack animals but not alone. Never found them alone. When I tried to scan one another one came, tried in the dunes, another one came.

[safe sun]

Make better choices lol

[wheat berry]

What is that supposed to mean

I tried to scan one for the Pda entry

[safe sun]

It means stop trying to scan a reaper that's near others.

[proud linden]

Now that I think about it. How in tf am I supposed to scan a damn void in sbz?

[wheat berry]

Almost all of them are near each other

Besides one at the crash zone border to the void

[bold monolith]

The damage by leviathans on a Seatruck were nerfed. It was a consequence. At some point the Seatruck health was buffed. But the leviathan damage were not.

[proud linden]

I guess very slowly and a little bit at a time.

[safe sun]

Ignis it's nerf or nothin

[wheat berry]

It's still kinda cooler to have reapers, who are Predators stick more together than ghosts who feed on microorganisms and would just be a nuinace to each other because they'd feed on microorganisms in the same area

[proud linden]

That needs to be fixed badly because I feel 0 threat from anything in this game except the voids

And I'm not even at the end game

[safe sun]

Hats off to the devs for the void chelis though. My god those things are terrifying. Incredibly hard to see, super fast, and way larger than I expected.

[proud linden]

Yeah, so why hide them from us like that tho?

[wheat berry]

Guys, there's a land ecological dead zone in Below zero right?

[proud linden]

Like why not have some legit areas they're hidden but accessible? Ie not just used as world edge border patrol.

[safe sun]

They were designed to be the void "guardians" so to speak so while unfortunate, it makes sense for them to only be there.

[ornate plume]

should i live in the ||crystal caves or deep lily pads||?

i love both so much

[safe sun]

Deep lillies.

[proud linden]

Make them spots that are tough to get to, like an easter egg almost, like wow I never noticed this before and then boom some scary spookiness immediately ensues. Ie a big part of the classic subnautica formula I don't feel too bold saying we all fell in love with.

[wheat berry]

What's the best base location Ingame

[ornate plume]

what's your take on why?

they both have similar resources

i really need opinions lmao

[proud linden]

Agreed but still, we had deep dark voids in game in sub, so why not toss us even a single bone with one in some trapped deep cave somewhere?

[safe sun]

Crystal caves are overrated imo. They're also very inaccessible from the majority of the map compared to the lillies.

I haven't seen any solid deep lilly bases. I want to be wooed 😄

[ornate plume]

the only 2 entrances is the purple vents and ||maida's base||

[proud linden]

Agreed

[ornate plume]

when i make one i will show you :)

[safe sun]

My man!

[proud linden]

I was thinking lillies myself, been in shallows for forever.

Seems like the most enjoyable location imo.

[ornate plume]

lilies has nice and peaceful and ominous music, while crystal caves has ominous and earie music

and i like the deep lillies and the shallow lillies

[proud linden]

Plus lillies has a better view imo. More wildlife and variety. Varying on where you build obviously.

[ornate plume]

i gotta find somewhere open that isnt near the ||body cache||

i dont like building near already built areas

[safe sun]

I have a couple different bases going right now. One in the spires which I love, one in the deep twisties that's a work in progress, and another in the lillypads around 150m down. I love the biome but I discovered that a lot of the biome's floating particles also float through your base. A bit distracting.

[proud linden]

Agreed

[ornate plume]

tree spires? thermal spires? arctic spires?

[safe sun]

Tree, sorry.

[ornate plume]

the tree spires just make me nervous tbh

the deep lilies made me feel safe despite the 94679439149 squidsharks

so peaceful

[proud linden]

I'm thinking about making a base right near the world's edge by the vent garden.

[safe sun]

I'll definitely set up a void cheli overlook at some point.

[proud linden]

Could kill the only baddie there and breed a bunch of sea monkeys and what not. Help repopulate the area with wildlife lol.

[ornate plume]

you can find every material in the deep lilies except copper but the shallow lilies has copper right?

[proud linden]

Probably. I feel like everywhere has copper somewhere.

[ornate plume]

well there isnt kyanite though

but the crystal caves is its neighbour

just go up from the ravine, go to ||maida's base|| and go to crystal caves for kyanite

[opaque wharf]

do u need to go to the greenhouse to beat the game?

[safe sun]

Nope

[ornate plume]

no but i still did it

[opaque wharf]

so i should go there before i make the last ||architect piece||?

[ornate plume]

||marguerit story|| is optional along with ||sam's story||

[opaque wharf]

okay

[wheat berry]

Wait so every threat in Below zero is laughable in comparison to the original or what?

I thought the ice worms were really cool

[ornate plume]

UH, squidshark is scary

[opaque wharf]

theres nothing like the sea dragon but the squidsharks are essentially crabsquids but worse

[safe sun]

I love the designs of the new creatures, I just wish they did more damage.

[ornate plume]

leviathans should be more aggressive

[opaque wharf]

and tbh ice worms arent that bad, u can just outrun them and stop and repair if they knock u out

[safe sun]

Mhm, and they're a joke if you're in the prawn.

[wheat berry]

Are the animations more refined tough?

[opaque wharf]

yeah for sure

the ice worm has like 4 different kill animations

[wheat berry]

I loved the animations in subnautica, they were decent and wish there were more

[ornate plume]

bro i didnt have reinforced dive suit and i was in arctic spires and they did nothing

[wheat berry]

Especially of creatures and vehicles

[opaque wharf]

and the creatures just feel a lot more realistic, they have a prehistoric feel to them

[wheat berry]

Is there something like the aurora milestone, something really dangerous where you have to go?

[opaque wharf]

i spent way to much time getting the cold suit then i realized that ur heat recharges on a snoxfox...

[opaque wharf]

the arctic spires are decently dangerous

also the aurora is pretty safe

safer than the spires or the caves imo

[wheat berry]

Aurora is pretty safe?

[opaque wharf]

entering is

[ornate plume]

instead of 2 shadows in the ||fabricator caverns|| there should be a diff creature that is worse than the shadow since its too easy to bypass

[opaque wharf]

if u know where the reaper is it should never bother u

[wheat berry]

So the shadow is a ghost but the ghost actually blocked your path

[ornate plume]

yes

[wheat berry]

The ghosts were decently scary since they actively defended their territory where you had to go through

[ornate plume]

the shadow sounds give me nightmares but it doesnt look as scary

[opaque wharf]

yeah tbh i just let them bite me, proc perimeter and dip, although i did have a heart attack when i entered the ||frabricator facility|| and turned around to see the shadow right behind me

[ornate plume]

everyone did

[opaque wharf]

cant see anything

[opaque wharf]

i also didnt realize there were two

[ornate plume]

same

[ornate plume]

oh god yes

[opaque wharf]

but tbh they just arent dangerous cos when ur in a seatruck u can just get out of the pilots seat and they just dont attack....

devs pls make it so that they can grab u if ur not driving

it doesnt make sense u can drive up to them and they just cant attack if ur not in the pilots seat

[wheat berry]

It'd be actually really scary if the monkeys would steal your power cells or rip the arms of your prawn suit off in some. Animation, I could imagine I'd scream like hell if I'd see that happen

[safe sun]

How strong do you think they are lol

[wheat berry]

Weak

They do steal your stuff

[opaque wharf]

sea monkeys r so good

im rich cos of them

what

[wheat berry]

What the

What is wrong with you

[opaque wharf]

#off-topic

[surreal lantern]

man I wish I could turn diamonds into lead ;-;

[violet sparrow]

my journey was pointless and i am frankly disappointed

[hasty rune]

can you not ride snd drill leviathans anymore?

the grapple gets canceled if you use your drill

[wheat berry]

Leviathans flee anyway if you hit them lol

I hope they change that

[opaque wharf]

wait what

[wheat berry]

Just watched a review from like 4 days ago

They do, he even mentioned it

They don't in the first game tough.

[safe sun]

Yes they do.

[opaque wharf]

bruh

[opaque wharf]

h

[hasty rune]

they made killing leviathans was harder and more annoying

[wheat berry]

@safe sun they do that to charge back at you they don't actually run away from your puny little humanoid body

[opaque wharf]

killing leviathans is dumb anyways

and it should be difficult and stupid

cos ur not intended to

[safe sun]

They do run from you. Why do you think so many of them wind up in the shallows? When attacked, all fauna will head towards coordinates 0,0.

[hasty rune]

how so? it feels good and it makes the biome 10x safer

[opaque wharf]

hopefully that gets change pretty soon

[safe sun]

Well I'm talking about SN1 and I doubt that's going to be changed lol

I assume it's the same or similar in BZ.

[wheat berry]

I've never, ever seen a leviathan run in the direction of the safe shallows, and I've never seen one RUN AWAY and leave me alone. They always come back and charge at me.

[hasty rune]

i guess i will just have to live with the chelicarates and shadow leviathans

[marsh jackal]

Not intended to kill them? I kind of agree with that but hell if ||Marguerit can do it|| then I want to too 😛

[opaque wharf]

u are invading a planet and killing its inhabitants also if u need to kill leviathans to make the game safer thats kinda sad

[marsh jackal]

Although I've never done it. Never even tried.

[opaque wharf]

thats a matter life and death

[wheat berry]

Bart torgal said something along the lines of "its sad that we are on such a beautiful planet and have to kill it to survive"

[marsh jackal]

fair point

[wheat berry]

Also why do you have to build a useless pengling robot to get stalker fur if you could just you know cut it with a knife how hunters do irl

[opaque wharf]

the cold suit isnt nessecary

[wheat berry]

But still it's tedious

It doesn't even make sense

[safe sun]

What part of it doesn't make sense?

[thick edge]

maybe they just want to be able to kill it and then cut it off of the snowstalker....

[opaque wharf]

yeah but it has a good reason

[wheat berry]

You can use a knife and get the pelt you know you do not need a robot for it, and if I were to rip off fur of a bear with a drone irl it'd defend itself

[opaque wharf]

how tho

i killed way to many stalkers cos i forgot about flares

[safe sun]

@bold monolith Why are loading times so rough on PC? There's a loading screen mod that claims that it's tied to your monitor's refresh rate but I have no idea if that's accurate or not since the mod doesn't seem to make much of a difference.

[opaque wharf]

i think hes in #subnautica-chat

[wheat berry]

Pelt it. Slice it with your knife and technically you should get pelt but appare tly no

[safe sun]

No, he's not.

[opaque wharf]

oh yeah other guy sry

[opaque wharf]

i literally did that

so many times

there are only babies left in my save

[wheat berry]

Yeah but you don't get fur from it and instead need to use the spy pengling

[opaque wharf]

yeah ik

[wheat berry]

Which doesn't make much sense really but atleast it gives the drone a use and the drone is kinda cool

[opaque wharf]

yeah although it doesnt do much tbh

[deep kettle]

The game seems to have startup issues, whenever I launch a second world inside the same session it's faster. But that won't matter for much people lol.

[safe sun]

Hm.

[deep kettle]

And by faster I mean from starting a new world in 20-30 seconds to 5 seconds xD

So I don't even want to know on a proper save file 😅

[eternal garnet]

Explained by disk cache, I should think

especially if you have a lot of RAM

[deep kettle]

Would be weird, it's not the same files. I'm starting an entirely new game.

[eternal garnet]

it's the same resources though

those are much larger than your save

windows doesn't let unused RAM sit. It becomes disk cache, even on an SSD

Although, some optimization could help. Loading a save is incredibly slow on a HDD

[safe sun]

I'm loading off of an M.2 and it's still atrocious.

[eternal garnet]

I am too, and it takes maybe 30 seconds first run

[safe sun]

Yeah sounds about right.

[eternal garnet]

but it takes 2 min on HDD

[deep kettle]

I have mine on a HDD, doesn't take 2 minutes for me. But it's still faster the second time by a lot 👀

[eternal garnet]

disk cache again, and the effect will be bigger

[deep kettle]

Then just cache all save files before hand

[eternal garnet]

disk cache is an OS thing

[deep kettle]

Caching in general isn't though.

[eternal garnet]

and most of the time is loading resources, not your save, I think

[bold monolith]

Loading time is mainly malloc() and disk reading. What takes time is to load the octrees / base components in memory. Once it's done, the second time it is indeed cached.

[safe sun]

I'm unfamiliar with a couple of those terms, malloc() and octrees. Any specific reason why it's taking much longer to load than SN1?

[carmine bobcat]

idk what any of that means all i know is it takes 10-20 seconds at max for me to load

its fast but the orignal takes a minute

[bold monolith]

The octrees are the disk representation of the terrain.

And only the terrain, no prefab.

[eternal garnet]

there are acacia trees in your octrees

or maybe not

why

what is this black magic

[eternal garnet]

game engine magic

[ashen frigate]

this game is a 8.5/10

[gaunt wing]

so uhhh my seatruck got grabbed by a chelicerate yesterday

it scared the living pengwings out of me

[eternal garnet]

that's its job

[gaunt wing]

exactly

[bold monolith]

Be like Fred.

[eternal garnet]

Dead?

Actually he probably isn't

[bold monolith]

Fred is the character in the trailer.

[gaunt wing]

he isn't dead physically but he's dead mentally

[safe sun]

He lives on in our hearts.

[deep kettle]

But..

[gaunt wing]

can squidsharks grab your seatruck?

[eternal garnet]

no. They can turn off power for 5 seconds

[gaunt wing]

cool

[eternal garnet]

Monkeh

[gaunt wing]

fren :>

[broken badge]

Squidsharks can grab you tho. I thought they could grab the truck as well

[gaunt wing]

when i first encountered a sea monkey it grabbed my scanner

but i thought i was hugging it at first

[hasty rune]

top 10 anime betrayals

[broken badge]

They always bring me smth & my inventory is full

[deep kettle]

Then just build more storage with what they give you so that you can have even more

[broken badge]

I usually drop some titanium so I can take it especially if it’s ore lol

[torn barn]

How do you pick up the stuff they give you though

[gaunt wing]

what biome is this

[broken badge]

You just grab it like picking up anything else

[eternal garnet]

deep lilypads

[deep kettle]

The Deep Lilypads.

[torn barn]

[deep kettle]

Ssshhh

[broken badge]

Lol

I call it the cotton anemone place🤣

[gaunt wing]

are there any leviathans/squidsharks/Big Scary Enemies (as i'd like to call them)?

[eternal garnet]

find out

[uneven heart]

Squidsharks

But just 1 I think

[deep kettle]

Can we get a petition to get better names for the "deep X" biomes? We have too many of those honestly xD

[torn barn]

1 squidshark

[broken badge]

Lilypaddlers (pretty harmless) & squidshark (1i think yeah)

[proud linden]

I mean, do you think you'll run into less of them the further in the story/game you go?

[thorny lodge]

yes its one

but if u find him, be happy, it means you near the entrance

[proud linden]

They'll become more common in general. But to be fair none of them are any kind of threat

[broken badge]

And the most annoying imo those stupid trap grabby things

[torn barn]

I mean, it no different then having a green/orange "Violet Beau"

[deep kettle]

But it's a biome, not some weird plant 😛

[torn barn]

I hate spikey traps with a passion

[broken pasture]

Question: Is Robin's PDA in Emergency Mode?
Technically she wasn't in an Emergency and landed in 4546B for a mission.

[deep kettle]

Spikey traps are too easy honestly xD

[broken badge]

At first I had no idea what was grabbing me

[deep kettle]

[eternal garnet]

if you act wrong, they can kill you

[proud linden]

Even the big spooky whispy black line with blue slurpee mouth isn't much of a threat so no worries no matter what you run into bud.

[broken badge]

No Thom

[eternal garnet]

just seaglide away

[broken pasture]

Never take your scanner cam to the Creepvines.

[deep kettle]

Shadow, at least I'm not as evil as @safe sun

[torn barn]

This is coming from the guy who refuses to explore the arctic spires

[deep kettle]

👀

I've been in the arctic spires, excuse you.

[broken pasture]

A sea monkey grabbed it and I tried to drive it out but then I regained connection, and the monkey planted it in a nest!

[gaunt wing]

hello there sir/maam

[torn barn]

Outside of creative without cheating?

[deep kettle]

Maybe not

[broken pasture]

"Yo got gaems on yo phone?"

[deep kettle]

But that doesn't matter! 😂

[gaunt wing]

ok but can those guys actually damage you

[brisk temple]

No they just trip you out.

[torn barn]

Caught in 4k

[uneven heart]

Not really when you're in a searruck

[broken badge]

They do a Mesmer like thing but they don’t bite

[deep kettle]

Sorry I don't have a 4k monitor.

These one's are much better than the mesmers if you ask me.

[torn barn]

you know what i meant

[broken pasture]

Diamonds and how uncommon they are remind me of Minecraft.

[proud linden]

Why does everyone keep talking about arctic spires?

[safe sun]

They aren't that uncommon lol

[broken badge]

You end up finding plenty of diamonds

[proud linden]

The ground stuff is super boring in this game

After you do like 2 things it's like an endless escort mission with a bland empty landscape.

[broken badge]

I think the arctic landscape is beautiful

[torn barn]

^ there are so many plants

[eternal garnet]

I prefer the attic

[broken badge]

Lol

[proud linden]

In some spots yeah but mostly it just feels kinda bland

[arctic whale]

If I recall,most creatures on 4546b are unisex

[deep kettle]

[broken badge]

It’s glacial what do you expect

Or icebergs whatever

[broken pasture]

I only found 1, 1 single Diamond in twisty bridges in an entire 300 M radius with the scanner room-

[broken badge]

Sorta both

[proud linden]

Its like a white version of the unfinished parts of new vegas but less populated with stuff to do.

[broken badge]

Early on I get some diamonds at Koppa mine

[proud linden]

Idk it looks good in some spots like I said, but doing stuff on land just feels very meh.

[broken badge]

You’re sent to some story sites that have quite a few diamonds as well

[broken pasture]

._.

[gaunt wing]

how do i get spiral plant clippings?

[delicate fossil]

Deep vents

[broken pasture]

Pengling get in the Seatruck, we going to the Koppa mining site!

[delicate fossil]

Or ventgardens

[broken badge]

Purple vents has some as well as inside ventgardens

[proud linden]

That's all well and good but I am like tripping over diamonds I have so many at this point. They're practically everywhere beyond the shallows.

[safe sun]

Deep twisty!

[broken badge]

Yeah that too

[long charm]

how can you only have 1 there is so many you find at and around delta?

[broken pasture]

How does the Rebreather function exactly?

[broken badge]

But since I’m going to Delta early on anyway

Koppa is pretty close

[proud linden]

Pretty sure it just lowers rate of oxygen depletion

[broken pasture]

Oh.

[proud linden]

Cant say for sure though

[broken badge]

Removes oxygen efficiency penalty for deep diving

[safe sun]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebreather

[proud linden]

I don't have a PC to dig into the specs like probably 99% of the folk on here do

[torn barn]

When you pass 100m your oxygen depletion increases, the rebreather negates that

[deep kettle]

Once you go below 100/200 metres it says that your oxygen will drain faster, the rebreather prevents that.

[delicate fossil]

Real rebreathers are expensive and complicated

[broken pasture]

Compared to rebreathers in BZ lol.

[proud linden]

Well yeah an actually rebreather is pretty cool in how it functions but in this game I don't think it actually adds to your oxygen supply so much as it just lowers the rate of depletion as a mechanic.

[safe sun]

And how exactly do you think it's lowering the depletion rate...

[broken badge]

I’ve heard if you use a rebreather IRL you don’t get all the bubbles we see in the game but games are games lol

[broken pasture]

Record going under 100m with vs without rebreather and play both.

[deep kettle]

That's a scam, I want this implemented in real life please.

👀

[delicate fossil]

The idea of a rebreather is that it's closed circuit

[proud linden]

Yeah it's definitley one and the same in terms of irl mechanics lol. I'm just saying I doubt they put in the effort to have it add oxygen as opposed to just having it impact the base oxygen depletion rate. 🤣

[delicate fossil]

The air you breathe is circulated through it and made back into breathable air

[broken badge]

If you don’t use a rebreather you can see the oxygen consumption go faster as you go below 100m, 200m etc

[proud linden]

Seems like it would be easier to just tweak that imo but hey idrgaf either way

[delicate fossil]

I'm not sure exactly how it works but it basically removes the carbon dioxide and adds back oxygen to the air

[broken pasture]

Habitat: Not producing 02.
Robin: Goes to bed.
Habitat: Can't argue with that.

This legit happened-

I made a room inside twisty bridges and slept in a bed, didn't die of oxygen loss.

[proud linden]

Robin: wakes up dead

[gaunt wing]

bruhhhh this dude managed to get himself stuck

[broken badge]

Wha-
Did you have power?

[broken pasture]

Nope.

[proud linden]

I can't even tell what the pic is trying to show me

[broken pasture]

I took a nap.

[broken badge]

Bruh

[gaunt wing]

yes ofc

[safe sun]

Yeah you can survive naps even if your base doesn't have power lol

O2 doesn't even take a hit. Robin is just built different.

[broken pasture]

The magical bed.

[proud linden]

Oh lol I see

[eternal garnet]

Stop finding bugs lol

[broken badge]

Not you. Sorry

[broken pasture]

XD

[proud linden]

What exactly is the point of the sleeper module anyhow?

[broken badge]

Skip night

[broken pasture]

Sleep on the go.

[proud linden]

Like if you feel like starting a cutscene for no reason?

[eternal garnet]

it provides music and a painting too

[broken pasture]

I love the fact the jukebox has bass.

[proud linden]

Oh yeah that's right

[safe sun]

In-game music > jukebox

[proud linden]

That's the one good thing

[broken badge]

Night surface temps & weather can be really brutal

[deep kettle]

:(

[broken pasture]

Titanium when I need it be like: 🏃‍♂️

[proud linden]

Though yeah, you'd figure they would've realized how much we all love the in game soundtrack so why not give that to us to play instead like?

[long charm]

This is the robotics lab area any way to get to this? The avatar cannot get in but the penguin can but i saw no other holes in side.

[proud linden]

Feels like a crazy easy no brainer

[delicate fossil]

@long charm propulsion cannon

[safe sun]

....it's playing while you drive. 😂

[broken pasture]

The silence of the deep, what secrets dose it keep?

[long charm]

Thats in below 0?

[delicate fossil]

Yes

[broken badge]

Best song

[delicate fossil]

However the repulsion cannon and stasis rifle are not

[broken pasture]

Is "Survive" the default jukebox song next to Song 1?

[long charm]

Thanks will look for bp

[proud linden]

Lol yeah, but I mean it would be cool to be able to pick your driving music for the game that overrides whatever in game cues they have. So you can listen to abandon ship or what have you all day whenever and wherever.

[delicate fossil]

I found the fragments in sea monkey nests

[gaunt wing]

i found the ||omega lab|| and got a ton of new blueprints

[safe sun]

That would get annoying imo. I love that they have multiple tracks for each biome so they stay fresh.

[proud linden]

How would that be annoying? You'd just have the option to change the music to what you want. It's not like you'd be forced to do that.

[delicate fossil]

After Robin's ship crashed, I don't think she knew how she was going to get back off the planet.

[bold monolith]

Don't you already have that?

[proud linden]

To be fair I think she thought there'd be some sort of settlement/site established already

[broken pasture]

"Yo pick me up" "Aight."

[marsh jackal]

Just finished the game 🙂 I like how open the world is but in retrospect I did things "out of order" because I missed stuff. Like I did these in order: ||construct Alan, THEN discovered Marg's base, THEN discovered Outpost Zero|| I think that was intended to happen in reverse.

[delicate fossil]

Was that Cal person supposed to come back for her?

[proud linden]

Not that I'm aware of no. I mean it's not a big deal, I just think itd be nice if they gave us the soundtrack in game for the jukebox along with whatever mixtapes they wanna give us.

[broken pasture]

I found outpost zero while randomly swimming, then when I left due to almost starving I was like: "I forgot to put the beacon-"

[delicate fossil]

Yeah same

[broken pasture]

Then like an idiot picked up the delta beacon and took 1 entire day to find it again.

[wheat berry]

Huh

[proud linden]

Nice. I had the game trap my seatruck in a cave because it took super long to render roots that then trapped my truck inside an inescapable cave.

[bold monolith]

Buy the soundtrack and place the files in the Music folder, you can still play that way.

[proud linden]

Well yeah, though at that point I could just listen to it for free. I'm just saying as an in game feature it'd be a neat addition.

[gaunt wing]

dude
you're not holding anything

[bold monolith]

I meant custom music played by the jukebox.

Not by your mp3 player.

[broken pasture]

He holding air, new DLC item.

[proud linden]

Though they gotta get cracking on fixing the absolute trash that is the seatruck, and cranking up the leaviathon damage ASAP.

[broken pasture]

What-

Seatruck is cool, don't know how to activate rear camera tho.

[safe sun]

Sea truck is the complete opposite of trash.

[gaunt wing]

me neither

[torn barn]

Rear camera was removed

[safe sun]

^

[broken pasture]

Sad.

[proud linden]

The problem is...I don't have a computer to do that, so...

[solar drum]

did you know that

[gaunt wing]

oh

squidsharks arent scary they're just annoying as hell

[proud linden]

I suppose it's a shiny pile of trash. Glittery trash if you will but still pretty trash nonetheless.

[broken pasture]

"Hey kids, you like bases?" Slaps on a seatruck cab "Now you can have it E v e r y w h e r e"

[vapid kestrel]

Seatruck before Afterburner: “I mean, it’s okay”
Seatruck after Afterburner: “GOTTA GO FAST”

[next mantle]

seatruck is like a discount cyclops

[proud linden]

If you gave me the option between the seatruck and the seamoth, I'm picking the moth every. single. time.

[broken pasture]

Remember the Atlas sub?

Ppl said it'd be the BZ Cyclops.

[next mantle]

moth is kinda lame tbh

[safe sun]

Are you going to offer an actual point or are you just going to keep calling it trash without any substance to your criticisms?

[proud linden]

Seatruck isn't a discount cyclops it's a bad hybrid of the moth and cyclops

[next mantle]

whats the atlas sub anyway

[vapid kestrel]

The Atlas was never going to be the Below Zero cyclops
