maybe the "bottom" has a floor hit box
I use a stasis rifle
I don’t have one at the moment
||you're ignoring the ending
in og subnautica you pour all of your time into the rocket
in bz you literally help alan move some pillars and you're done||
I just wanted to see if I could successfully scan it
Is there even one in below zero?
it's only obtainable through commands
No its console commands but i beat the game so i didn't care
I haven’t bothered to reach that point yet because of how little I care about the alien questline
The alien questline is how you beat the game lol
Your point is?
Sam's story was bad as was degasi, only decent one was Al-ans
just bc you need a quest to beat the game doesn't mean its automatically good
See: Bethesda games
I took what they said as meaning that you’ll have to do the quest line eventually, not that it’s good
Also there’s these big cube decorations in these caves and I can’t even scan them??
You’d think they’d give these crystals a databank entry or something
Unless I’m just missing something
The ones in the crystal caves have databank entries
The red, square ones?
yes, they're red beryl
The red ones and the purple ones
I must’ve scanned them earlier or something, now I just feel foolish
purple is morganite
I don’t see it in my PDA but I’m probably just not noticing it
Ohh, I can only scan the huge one
this was a bad idea
O.
turns out hard to build on the void
mmm yes i see another Geforce NOW user
i, too, have a doodoo pc that cant properly run the game
Geforce NOW is a lifesaver
GOD YES FINALLY
damn such a compression
idk why they made the trinity barnacle unscannable
of materials
I have every required recipe and found the ||Fabricator Facility||, now I just need to head back for the ingredients
thank god there was this last fragment, I was trying to get it so desperately
I got really confused because I thought you were complaining about the quality of the icons, when on switch they’re so low quality
||i just looked up the ingredients, got them, got al an in my head and scanned the parts bc i couldn't care less about the "plot" of this game||
imagine walking 600m back to the seatruck each time the inventory fills up
snowfox isnt meant to cross water tho
I’ve been looking at some guides but I try not to do it too often because I like the discovery
if you want a water vehicle use the seatruck
I don’t do it for the story, I just like playing somewhat blind
spoiler it please
i did my first playthrough blind and i loved it, second time around i didn't really care for it much
spoiler ||Al-An||
please
ok can you please stop pinging me lol
Was mercury 2 before or after Degassi?
thx
wayyy before
before, about 42ish years
that snow fox vehicle must be nice. Shame idk where to scan another part for it.
the rust and plant growth on the Mercury gives us a general estimate of between 30-100 years old, but considering the ship had relations with the Mongolian mining colonies and the prawn suit mk3s they had most likely 30 years old
I played BZ blind. Do recommend. I’m saved with the ingredients for the finale in my inventory, I’m just waiting to stream it for friends so they can watch me cry
I wonder how ||Mercury II|| split in 3 pieces while the ||Aurora|| only shot alot of debris out
The ||aurora|| was much much bigger
good luck with the ||Shadow Leviathan||!
different ship design
just bring a few thermoses, snowfox is trash without modules, which the upgrade slot has 2 holes and you can only insert 1 module
Use prawn
what do I even put in thermos?
Mercury II was a simple research vessel tho, aurora was literally building a phase gate
||we’ve met.
||
put 2 in a coffee machine
Did you guys know that if you ||Disable the Quarantine Enforcement Platform|| before ||Sunbeam|| arrives, you get a special dialogue?
yes
yes
I'd just like to finish the blueprint for the snowfox
I DID. Never done it but I did
||Uh oh
||
coffee is kinda useless
ngl
i wonder which sunbeam ending is canon, probably the ||boom boom|| ending bc the news says sunbeam lost contact
just 50 body heat you could just craft the ||cold suit|| when you get it, and it should at LEAST give some movement speed buff
or maybe a building speed buff
any ending is canon because the player causes it
fun fact: Sam's questline is a
J O K E!!!!!
ayo can you spoiler the story stuff?
"bad attempt at a joke"
not really bc if the ship ||didn't boom boom|| it wouldn't randomly stop communications
p o t a t o
i wish you could somehow get potato in game
c r a n k y
you realize they dont land if you dont come to them right? and it stops communicating because its contacting Alterra
Lol dead cat remains in ||outpost zero||
and what use is talking to a random survivor if you cant reach or give anything to them due to the ||Quarantine Enforcement Platform||, right?
||the ship lost communication entirely, the pda "Was unexplained ion signature connected to aurora's disappearance?" says "It has been a few months since the Sunbeam has went quiet."
the comm range from alterra hq to 4546-b is only 8 hours||
and even IF you did disable the ||Quarantine Enforcement Platform|| there is still the orbital debris field from the ||Aurora||
You still realize the time it takes to get to 4546-b from Alterra is literally over 4166.625 days right?
||if you did they'd contact alterra, they specifically say in the secret message "we'll send our data to alterra as soon as we can"||
it says this as your FIRST radio contact
Ok, I think I have my solution to NOT getting my vehicle eaten. The seatruck teleport module and tether tool.
going there doesn't matter, I'm saying it takes 8 hours to talk to alterra hq from 4546
The reason they dont come back is because of the ||Quarantine Enforcement Platform||
Think my second shadow glitched out of the map or something i cant find him anywhere
it would literally destroy them
idk if thats what we're talking about anymore im just confused
||that is what I'm trying to say, the sunbeam probably got destroyed in the canon bc alterra didn't get a message from them||
Good.
anyway this is off topic so I'm going to the subnautica channel
They cant even go to the planet because OF the ||gun||
and the debris field
You mean ||Shadow Leviathan||, right? if so thats good
Then again, if I just leave my seatruck at the surface with the teleport module ready, I can sacrifice the prawn to get down there, and still use the tool to escape.
I don't think they can die
lucky
Nah they just sucj
Lol
I mean ye it's not scary at al 0.1 reapers would be more scary than shadow leviathan
I'm scared to even go to the thermal vents
I was dissapointed how little scares this game had at first
Did you play sn 1 xd
Perimeter defense is OP in this game
I will show you
Dont need proof
But that game is much scarier than bz
There's 30 leviathans in total i think and only like 6 in bz
What you doing 400 hours in Subnautica lel
^
I lost most of it when I got a new pc
I have like 4900 400 isnt that much
4900 bruh
Well I wasn't allowed to have a pc for 3 years so
You ok
4900 🕳️
and I developed major thalassophobia during then
Lol
so I stopped playing it even after I was able to play it after 3-4 years
plus I was busy playing tf2 most of the time
Subnautica is a great game, I'm astonished if you have less than 100 hours in it
It took me 48 for my first play through
181
19.2 in below zero
Original subnautica I mean
Ye 181 in sn1
Idek how i can see play time on epic
I have over 50 on my first playthrough I'm on right now
409 is alot for me
the only thing I have more playtime in is f04
and thats just an hour more
I play it alot because its a great game
hey guys wouldnt it be cool to refund borderlands 2 after I got it for 5 bucks onsale
And I'm astonished that anyone thats on this server barely has over 100 hours
and get 20$ back 
62 hours for bz
Once again, taking about the original game
Ok??
27.4% of players havent found their drop pod
It sure is
That's crazy..
did yall notice ironhorse has the longest nitro boost profile badge?
I did round it a bit
How didn't you get bored lel
Its a bloody great game
half a year
Yes.
Sure but 4900 hours
bro please touch some damn grass
Haha
The time didnt change
holy hell thats a lot
Ouch, I know its the other way around and I'm telling you. I speedran it and 100% it multple times
I’m gonna finish the story and then boot up creative mode to make ✨seabases✨
I guess but when i play a game too much it just gets boring even if it's a great game
you're lucky you aren't frozen with fear looking at the SAFE SHALLOWS
Then yeah
I played it on and off
Anyways, are there good resources in the ||fabricator caves|| i only went down there in my first playthrough to craft the components
god I only used to be fine upto the floater islands
All four years took me 4900 it wasnt as soon as it came out
and now I cant even move into the safe shallows
What just kill everything bruh
guys remember uranium in the orignal game before it got taken out, and remember the entity gallery and before prawn suit and ||containment facility|| and the warper room?
The Levi's are already boring af anyways
Again my heart hurts. All sea monsters are baby
who remembers when there was this weird modification station looking thing in your lifepod?
Ye i need squidshark X10 and big shrimp like x2
remember the old PDA and old GUI?
You're taking away the games core mechanic
which is scaring you s***less
You can just instantly zap them away anyways so it doesn't matter
They don't scare me at all
cub you have no fear
They're just a pain
what the hell
It's a game bruv they're not real xd
I do wish there was a ||gallery|| and some lore in the ||fabricator facility. How did the architects make the change from organic beings to hybrids? Did they ever originally need to eat and breathe? Or did their cuisine and cooking slowly fade as mouths became unpopular? Were they always a hive mind?||
Not true game things and movie things just don't easily scare me
Oh hello friend
I did get a heart attack every time a reaper came out of nowhere and ate my sea moth tho in sn1
I’m about to go build ||Al-Ann’s body||, without spoiling anything is there anything else I should bring besides the ingredients?
Thars what I mean reapers were much more scarier and everything was darker so it was harder to see
In the original I wasn’t really scared of the leviathan itself, I was more scared of being startled and my vehicle getting destroyed
Wasn't scared untill they came out of nowhere and teleported Infront of me
guys reaper leviathan got the balls chin
Never encountered a reaper naturally either
Mainly because I knew where they were
Haha
I was literally like 9 or 10
Still funny tho
I’m afraid it’s just my fear response is awe
First sea dragon encounter: That is so cool looking
First shadow encounter: WHERE DID YOU COME FROM AAAAAH
the first games leviathans dont scare me that much except maybe void ghosts and the reaper
2nd game however
Adult ghosts still creep me out
I mean the eating animation with the melting stuff of the shadow is just disgusting and not very scary
AAA
Did you at least Scan the shadows
Guys you know how the shadow leviathans have the thing on their head for hitting males during mating season
In the second game there are only 2 aggressive water levis right?
No 6 in total i think
Cheli and shadow?
2 shrimp 4 worm shark crabs
Cant think of any other aggressive water ones
it's interesting that the game tells us about a leviathan's mating season only for the shadow
I'm pretty sure the other ones lay eggs
well definitely the sea dragon and the emperor
and the reefbck
I think most lay eggs on 4546B
isnt it cute
A lot of sea creatures use other appendages as reproductive organs, some octopuses can fill their tentacles with genetic material. Hydrazoa go through a transformation that changes their waste expelling organs into reproductive organs! The ocean is weird, man
Honestly yeah
Omg yes baby shadow leviathans
I'm normally scared of leviathans but that one seems cute
I need them
Yas
i remember my first encounter i just hopped outta my seatruck and just hid in a ravine thingy
im pretty sure you can cheat in a shadow levi egg
and it was just stuck above me
sleepy shadow
NOoo
sleeping™️
whyyyyy
good
My first encounter with a shadow friend was it clipping out of the wall behind me and then trapping me in a corner for five minutes, which was. Fun.
please spawn another in so it can at least have children and start a new shadow leviathans
and then you can massacre them all
it shall sleep forever
let the annoying thing not be annoying for once
Yep
Yuo punched it into the forever sleep
besides the caves were overpopulated anyway

2 is way too goddamn many
I feel like shadow leviathans give live birth due to its gigantic mouth
put this in below zero 
we already have glow whales
2 is about right, but they need a bigger area.
…please take good care of your leviathans, make sure they have adequate space in their enclosure and proper enrichment
and they are cooler
Hey reefys said a famous person
the ||crystal and fabricator caverns|| are huge as is
Why do big sea monsters in this game always try to eat big metal things it doesn't make sense
"ah the sweet scent of dirty bean water"
Big but cramped somehow
They see lights and movement and think it’s alive I guess

Either that or they’re smart enough to know that you’re inside it
guys my base has 2 multipurpose rooms with a moonpool and a large room (With dome) and scanner room
Most prey fish ARE bioluminescent
What do they eat
oops
you
I hate you
Ly2

shadow pda page
They are a keystone apex predator and killing them will destabilize the environment!!! /j unless
dw i wont kill the other 2
One minute later oops
I imagine that the threat levels are balanced for just you on your lonesome, not in a truck
Fluffy
Fun fact! The higher up on the food chain a fish is, the higher likelihood that it’s flesh is full of ✨Deadly Heavy Metals✨
Yummy shadow metals
Tuna is worse than salmon, dolphin is worse than tuna, exc
So, theoretically, it would make sense that a huuuge predator would be hecking toxic
So no om nom
imagine owning hydrochloric acid 
It eat too much prawn
They're actually architect robots
I love the ||crystal caves|| visually, they’re so cool
hydrochloric acid is literally only used for polyaniline
Not sure if that biome needs a spoiler since it’s literally in a loading screen but might as well put it in one
It probably eats ||rockpunchers! In the rockpuncher data, it reads that their hard carapace s make it only vulnerable to leviathan attack, and the shadow leviathan spits stomach acid onto the things it catches! It would be able to melt right through. Also, rockpunchers are native to the same biome! Co-Evolution gives me the fuzzies :3||
I have a symbiote that i've had since the beginning of the game
for 12 hours with no water its still alive
he's my little comfort pet
It’s finally time for me to build ||Al-An’s body||, I’m excited
Dang my seatrain is going 4 m/s
Youve made a cyclops? You’ve ruined a perfectly good seatruck is what you’ve done, look at it; it’s got anxiety.
Meanwhile, me,
They live in a hole with nothing else in said hole
||Ah! But rockpunchers are also in that biome! And if the shadow leviathans were gone, rockpuncher population would go out of control! And rockpunchers, in their search for food, destabilize the terrain! They could literally bring down the roof of those caves, destroying all the biomes above ground.||
Tbh I think it's rude of ||Marg|| that she doesn't visit me in my base
Oh same. I made a breakfast nook and everything
I have all of those on mine except docking
im slower than my grandma
What's aquarium module used for?
😈
I don’t see them causing any sorts of collapses at the mining facility
In the PDA entry it states that their bioluminescent mouth attracts planktons, which in turn attract fishes which attract bigger prey. I think that if you take the plankton, the rock punchers and the large groups of fishes seen swimming around then the ecosystem might in fact be able to sustain such leviathans
We must commit genocide on plankton then.

Easy, just destroy every algae and fill the water with O2
Yep easy
Ngl though would’ve liked something other than large shrimp leviathan as the only dangerous creature on the surface biomes
Will they die if we boil the ocean?
||You don’t, yet. That’s because the mining facility is fairly new in the grand scheme of things, Alterra created an artificial cave, opening it up for rockpunchers to nest and feed in. I predict that eventually, without intervention, this will cause sections of the island to collapse||
Anything will
Yeah thats probably right
Didn't like the icebergs anyways
They take your electric charge from your sea truck
And annihilate penglings ??? 
No i will save those
Lillypads needed better hostile fauna
I'll give them to ||Alan||
What’s a good name for the prawn suit
He needs food too
Jerry
Shadow juice drinker
Garry
Harry garry jerry Perry
Also I hate the fact that people are saying Below Zero's biomes are less realistic than Subnautica's. They clearly dont even try to understand how it works by themselves, they just want to be spoonfed by the PDA... I'm sorry but if you pay attention and use logic and some bases of biology, its clear that every biomes in both games are at least partially scientifically accurate. For the rest, well, its an alien planet, so who cares if its not the same chemical reactions as Earth biosphere...
There just need to be more biomes
Who’s saying any of it is realistic?
Gertrude
For a fun time:
spawn crash 40
First game had islands that were literally held up above the water by big amoeba things with mouths
Oh god
Again, its literaly an alien planet
What does that even do
40 sleeping crashfish
Eh
Just need some bases of xenobiology anf physics to see how possible those ecosystems are
= nuke
I want a leviathan crash fish that fires a constant stream of crash fish from it's mouth
the result of a few crashfish on my base
Plus, Subnautica and BZ's lifeforms are heavily inspired by Earth's, and we have no clue how wildy different actual aliens may look. For all I care 4546b's flora and fauna are so close to Earth's we might aswell see both planets as literal twins
Just the fact they have the same atmospheric composition is a miracle
I’m saying trying to apply real world physics to it is stupid
Ouch
I highly disagree
Guys, I desperately need one single ||ion cube.|| Where can I get one? I've been to ||the Phi island (not explored everything, only till the frozen levi), the excavator, a mining site, and probably somewhere else because I have 8 cubes total (9 including recyclotron.) I just need one more for the seatruck tether.||
Make a living wall of seamonkeys around your base
It makes the experience much more believable and enjoyable in my eyes, given I've always been heavily interested in xeno-sciences
Wait there's seamoth in BZ?
Been to the artifact on delta yet
You mean the levi?
No
console command only
Take your prawn to the ice worm area, there are TONS of ion cubes in caves
Theres artifact on delta station island
||Teleporter?||
how do I destroy my prawn
Don't know where that is sadly
I got it stuck in the twisty bridges
Knife it
@cobalt vector you started this by saying "people" were claiming subnautica had more realistic biomes than bz, I’m not sure what you’re trying to say now?
See the bridge in front of Phi's entrance ? Activate it. Its on the other side.
Oh ok thanks, I'll try to figure that out
Go to the right side of the island (looking from pod) there is an artifact with an ion cube in a cabe
Build a base above water,
spawn penguin 1
Friend : D
it doesnt hurt it
Cave
please i need to destroy my prawn
Thanks
ive taken the modules and drill arm and power cells
You mean underwater cave?
No
Ok
It's on the island
Ok I'll find it :)
I was talking about a general consensus on Forums about this very subject, but then you changed the topic by saying you found it stupid to try and apply science, to which I replied accordingly. No problems here
just someone tell me how to kill it'
please I need to kill my prawn its stuck
come on please
You might be able to unstick it with the propulsion canon and a rock
Kill what
Ah, well I’ve never seen anyone even talking about such a thing, I just personally don’t see the point considering the absurdity of some of the locales
Screenshot
It stuck like this
Prop cannon gang
Best weapon in the galaxy
I JUST made it
._.
Why god why
Yeah thats fair enough, I personnaly spend a lot of time searching on this subject so it makes sense why I'd see it more often than you lol
Spawn in a shadow Levi xd
And that's why you copy your saves to a separate folder from time to time
Maybe it will take it out
HOW DO I BREAK ITZ
Tried knife yet?
Knife don’t wor
Oh
I use thermoblade
Try and smash your seatruck in it until the prawn breaks, thats the only thing I can think of
Calm, calm. What console you on?
Oh?

It’s out 😄

Time to koppa
Pro tip guys, copy your saves to a separate folder in case you mess it up
Saved me countless times in original Subnautica
Np
Pro tip: be nice <.<
I have infinite wisdom.
Clearly
game only has one save slot. You can copy it to have more
Look how wise my cat is
one save slot per "game", that is
Pfft. That gets you nowhere.
It clearly got it's wisdom from me
What is the average airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
2.18183728
I said I'm wise not smart
2.18 what, elephants, apples? >:D
Elephants obviously
After over 24 hours, I finally have the water filtration machine recipe
||Not sure how Al-An was able to still talk to me here||
I’m not going slow (well, I am, but not in this in particular) I just never found this area
Now you have to suffer to power it 
It consumes more than the rest of the base
Yup
I have 2 and 2 250c thermal thingies can't even generate enough energy
No they're not you think I'm gonna use a bioreactor or nuclear
Not sure how I never came across this area until after ||building Al-An’s body||
Ew
I have 43 solar panels (35 is a solar power plant on surface) and 3 water filtration machines, no reactors so that I don't have to worry about fueling them :P
I can just add more solar panels to my solar power plant anytime anyway
In case I need even more
Ill just build like 5 more thermal thingies
in the toilet
I can’t believe I never found this base until now
There's some big deposits in there
I just filled 3 storage modules + prawn storage with resources from down there
Uranite is scattered all across the deep places on the map as fas as I'm aware right now
So you would need to go deep somewhere
Ye i beat the game already so now I'm just getting everything
I used to think lithium was difficult to get
It's more difficult to get than diamonds tbh
It's not I'm just completely ignoring every story line and it's great
Did they forget to give the Architect Structures poster an icon, it’s just a ? for me
Don’t be misled by propaganda about nuclear reactors smh
Reject stort line, get back to grind!
I mean handling nuclear waste without proper protection doesn't seem like a good idea
The rods ain’t exposed
They’re in those containers
just hide them under your bed
I do not care what if they randomly explode
They'll dissolve themselves soon enough
Who is monitoring the temperature
Even if you did soak up some rads it would only affect your children smh
Your friend Reaper leviathan
Uh no needs a better joke
Hmm
Guys I have all ion power (:
(;

Real talk though why’d they put vent garden eyes next to its butthole?
Does seatruck speed continue to decrease if I add more than 5 modules?
I have 8 and intend to add 2 more
Maybe 3
The top is it’s butt
Zombie alan
Look:
- 1 storage module for equipment and supplies (barely enough, running out of storage, considering a second one)
- 1 aquarium
- 1 sleeper module
- 1 fabricator module
- 4 storage modules
I will add:
- 1 ||teleportation|| module
- 1 docking module
- (Considering) 1 more storage module

Yall are wild lol
Why teleportation and aquarium tho
Spoilers please
Does teleportation use 1 ion cube every time you use it
I mean, teleportation is obvious
Aquarium not to starve to death
Does it?
Yes.
No :(
Haha
I have food, water, oxygen, other supplies like beacons and batteries in the first module
I'm really running out of its capacity
As my equipment count increases, I have nowhere to store my stuff
You don't need all the equipment
I keep it all there
Reason:
So back to my question
Does seatruck speed continue to decrease if I add more than 5 modules?
Yes it will continue to slow down every time you add more modules
Idk what's the max amount of modules you can use
I heard there's some guy with 110 modules
Best to just put 4 horse power in if you're making a long trip with all of them ig
I beat the game, now I want to play the first game again
Well then do it
I gotta see if there’s a post credits scene
Almost no reason to do so imo, he knows the story so it's not that interesting
And I also need to do other things in BZ, like ||curing the frozen leviathan||
Well at least for me
If he wants to play it again he can xd
Ofc
I knew the entire story in the playthrough where I first beat the game, still enjoyed it
Its hard to find the place for it
You have a map to it
Because I stopped playing the game when I first got it and thought I wouldn’t beat it, so I ended up learning the lore
This game took 28 hours
Hey, just a small thing: could you please add "in BZ" here so that others have less chance of making the same mistake as I just did :)
It took me 2 hours to beat the game
Anything spoiled tag is a spoiler soo
I mean why would he spoiler tag it here if it was about sn 1
Oh, so sorry about that
Nah, it's my mistake
Again anything that has a spoiler tag is a BZ spoiler
I'm glad I beat the game before I looked at this chat
I can't resist clicking on every spoiler
Turns out what I thought had spoiled the ending didn’t really
I didnt really care cause the story was boring
Though I’m still a bit unsatisfied after seeing it
Still
It's nicer to find out the things on your own imo
about a week ago i randomly decided to upgrade my seatruck so i literally spent 3 hours straight getting all the module recipes, grinding out resources, and building all of them at once
i have no clue why and i havent even used seatruck since then
nothing scary over there other tristan
shrimpy boy scares me
Just don't look at it then
I find it funny how I didn’t even think about ||Sam’s sister’s death|| despite it being a huge part of the plot
he does like 3 damage to a vehicle and he goes away with like a quick slap
Bruh
yea nobody really cares
*||Robin's sister death||
That’s how little I care I can’t even write it correctly
Sam is the sister that ||died||
No, ||Robin died a few times, I saw it happen||
I cant even do this
True
Bruh bruh bruh
The ending seems to ||ignore most of the plot just to taunt us with another vague mystery||
Stay near surface
what biome is under the greenhouse
I think I missed quite a few biomes, not even sure where the void is
Who cares
I need to know
arctic
You don't need to go under it
its outside of everything else
it surrounds the whole map
There's not that many
because Im gonna teleport to it like a coward
guys, where do you find freaking snowstalker fur
nothing interesting in it, its open water with no resources and 3 leviathans
No you're not
this stuff is impossible to find
use a spy pengling to chill with a snow stalker
I can use teleport marggreenhouse
Why would you
where are there caves
Im too scared
hi
Bruh-
Overall I think the game made me feel unsatisfied
How are you scared of a big shrimp that isn't even near that place
It was fun and all, I think it’s a good game
im too scard
i think below zero has a lot prettier of a world and a better story but overall i think its worse than the original
._.
im going the direction im supposed to and i see the cryptosarhus
make sense, this does not
still good but not as good
Maybe I’m being too negative because I’m just getting myself sad
Cryptosarhus oh no...
You find those scary too?
"dont spam caps"
the scariest thing in bz so far for me was the reaper skeleton in ||margs base||
I have major thalassaphobia
Its a game
you realize video game oceans do the same...right?
How did you even play the first game
why are you playing an underwater survival game if you have thalassaphobia
because I spent alot of the time in the safe zones
where nothing interesting can happen to you
of course i say this but im also a bit afraid of the ocean
You have to go through dangerous places in sn1 too
I don't know, I like subnautica I guess, its pretty cool and I like the creatures (not leviathans god no), and its really pretty at the same time.
true
let me guess: didn't finish first game
non-levs are nice looking and interesting and its a stupid good looking game
I assure you nothing will happen to you if you get in your seatruck and go to ||Margs greenhouse||
n o
I see the scary thermal bois
The what
I just remembered I had built a Prawn Suit and never even used it for anything useful
You can't tell me that you think those are scary
They’re sorta scary
No they're not
Didn’t you already say you don’t get scared by games in general
I did but those just aren't scary
If you’re paranoid while playing the game I imagine they can be
I feel like I’ve been too critical of the game after the ending and I just got myself upset
If you're paranoid while playing a game you really shouldn't be playing it lmao
Not healthy having so much stress while gaming which is supposed to be relaxing
Subnautica is stressful at times though and that’s okay
I just said paranoid because they mentioned they have thalassophobia
Im scared of heights/depths and ocean irl too i just can't imagine being scared of those weird dinosaur thingies
I just think it’s a bit rude to say “no they aren’t scary” when their phobia is this severe
But I think I’m just in a bad mood so sorry if I’m the one being rude here
I mean whatever not my problem
Maybe I'm being rude idk it's 1:30 am here and I should probably go sleep now
I feel like I barely did anything in BZ, I barely used my Prawn Suit and never used more than 1 module on my Seatruck
Maybe I’ll feel better about the game if I go back and do some other things I missed, but for now I think I should rest
That's why I'm playing it again & just ignoring the story lines
I never even got the alien containment recipe
guys is the snwofox like really bad?
right but i just feel like its super laggy and stuff
turning is a bit weird, you get used to it
and its like hard to control
Subnautica: thalassophobia mode like how grounded has arachnophobia mode. Accessibility is important for games to succeed
i mean would thalassophobia mode just like turn off the game? going into the game you know its an ocean exploring game so idk
you land and it says "long story short, you escaped, congrats"
The scariness of the ocean is a huge theme of Subnautica
yes. Didn't finish, don't click the spoilers
dont spoiler me pls
yeah ive noticed that
although, isnt that because of the antidote from the first game?
i wonder what the crater from the first game looks like now
Nah, just like lessening the water visuals, making it less. “Immersive.” If that makes sense. A toggle to change the fish models to something less fishy would also help. An option to make it less ocean-y. Colorblind modes help too.
speaking of btw, the game has taken a really slow halt for me all of sudden
Make everything a land section
im really not sure what im supposed to be doing next to move the story a long
Pure horror
||i got the bridge fixed, i have an architect piece and i got the teleporter in the basin running but im not really sure what to do right now||
||which piece?||
||the skeleton iirc, not in game so i cant double check||
||found it in deep lilypads? This is the only body part with a beacon||
yeah
Have you explored the ||western landmass||
||actually how many of Al-An’s bits do you have||
||The body part in the Ice Spires across the bridge is the tissues iirc||
not really no
||when you cross the bridge, you get a clue to a part. "north-east" is key here. Also go where the alien cabling points||
||Explore land. Bring health kits||
only the one
alright, will do, thanks guys
In case someone looks in that doesn’t want spoilers
we're spoiler marking story stuff that you want to discover yourself
yeees. The others you go by hints
The hints are somewhat helpful for where they are
You'll be able to guess biome
You also get dialogue when you get close
Do you mean the one with an ice waterfall at the end?
probably, enter a tunnel going east
A like small one
||also the worm is very spooky||
he's cute his name is Bob.
yeah but hes loud and spooky lmao
Papes are you in the one with the small ice waterfall the end?
You need to circle around
You can get to the top of it actually
yes... to the east
Not from the bottom afaik tho
If you have a habitat builder you could build your way up
Yes
the waterfall is an exit only. if it's the right one
You need to circle round to get on it
And west you'll only find a wall
So east at first it is
Oh I think what you're trying to find is somewhat close to it
I think
Ik it's real near the ice worms you can actually scan
And alien cabling is good
from the portal, go north. Again, go where cabling points (north side)
If you really need use a yt video
if you find a greenhouse, again go north
because you can't kill or scan the ice worm, it's the law
there's a dead one, northeast, that you can scan
the edge of that area
ooh
the area is full of bones
lol my prawn is dust from the iceworm i poked with my knife
orange boy did not repair
you lost all that? heard about save game?
I’ll reload if something weird, like a glitch or whatever happens
I remember attempting to build a small scanner base around the lava lake only for me to glitch through the floor and end up stuck in the lost river
Has to reload last night on my Xbox because this weird thing happened
And apparently the last time I ever saved was having all the necessary materials needed for the base
Wonder what Ryley was doing during the two years between the events of both games
Trying to raise 3 million credits xD
There’s an outline on things you can interact with? That isn’t on the Switch version
Or whatever amount it was
I think it was around 20 billion credits
Yes it is
if it's there, it's an accessibility option
Highlight interactables
Ah
I looked at the graphics settings and didn’t see it there so I assumed it just wasn’t on this version
One trillion
I wish I knew this before I beat the game
The hell
Makes finding resources so much easier especially in darker biomes
Imagine if in the next one Robin and Al-An meet Ryley
There’s also PDA pause, so you can keep the game paused while naming beacons and sorting lockers etc
Some really nice QoL things they added
A ||void chelicerate|| keeps trying to attack me but is doing no damage
Istg I drink 50L of water within 2 mins of the game
I’m not sure what’s going on, it’s just doing nothing to my health
It did nothing to my Seatruck, either, despite trying to attack
Ah
repair immediately, beause of attack cooldown
I mean exit and repair within 2 seconds, yes
Don’t worry it won’t completely kill you
oh it can't kill the prawn in even 2 hits
Just try to deal enough damage so that way it’ll get scared away
Now I feel like I cheated when I scanned a chelicerate
omg I survived
Nice
but my water is gonna kill me
Not nice
I think I saved sorta close to the void so I’m worried about reloading and immediately dying
Nevermind, I’m far enough from it
That man said 
What is the new update on Below Zero?
hmm, ice worms knocking me down from snowfox are really annoying
yes, you should walk that part
at least it warms me up
can you pick up items u lost after u die?
yes
good
Is the horsepower upgrade description supposed to just be “Seatruck horsepower upgrade”
ye if ur in a prawn suit and the snow worm knocks you, you get shot to space
its insane
joke:. what did the architect say when he got to someone's head?
do not move.
Did they actually forget to give the Seatruck Horsepower Upgrade a description or is this a weird glitch that it just says “Seatruck horsepower upgrade”
Bro istg AL-AN is the dumbest most intelligent thing
It’s a bit self explanatory isn’t it?
There’s not even punctuation, but the afterburner has a full description
Alan is both dumb but so charming at the same time lmfao
Wonder how tall Al-An would be if he existed in real life
ThErE Is A fACiLiTY NeaRBy.. i aM UnAblE to IdEnTIFy
Couldn’t you just compare him to the player model
I think the wiki says something like 9 ft tall
Based on comparison to character model
There's a new artifact that needs your scanner, here, I'll mark it on your PDA
if the the when the of when it does
Preston Al-An
One of my games’ prawn suits
Why does this remind me of atom eve from invincible
o my god
colorscheme
I did it
did what.
he did it
I think I just beat the game
Nice
think? it's very obvious
how do you "think"
well if the Fabricator Caverns is the last place thennn
Well the first time I beat the game, I only finished two of the three story lines
but idfk
no lol
it's not no
did you do the story..?
omll bro
What? I don’t understand
replied to the wrong person
Ok lol
no the end is more obvious, and in another place
Bro, mf just told me to focus on getting his body parts
Is there any uses to Vehicle Upgrade Console beside customizing the looks of vehicles now, since fabricator can make the modules?
can you trust this guy? Also spoilers
I guess not, I like to customize the appearance though
I do the ||body part last since you have to go to another place down there anyway||
But if it’s your first time you won’t know that
I have the skeleton and organs I spent 39 gah damn hours getting to this point
I don't really care about spoilers at this point
except the ending
and the speedrun is 39:40
I’m doing it as a courtesy for anyone, not one person in particular
dont say the ending
I'm 20 hours in and search for tissues as well
I went around in circles a lot the first time, but that’s still not nearly as bad as how blindly you can end up searching in the first game
oh do you now
we might have answers xD
huge emphasis on might
I don't
can a shadow leviathan destroy a prawn suit even if I ain't in it or near it?
sadly, yes, in b44290
yeah
Honestly I haven't found a clear answer to that question. For me, personally, when I left my Seatruck in the crystal caves to do stuff, my Seatruck wasn't attacked. others have said they experienced differently tho.
maybe its because what meatie said, idk
ye, I went to the fabricator thing and came back and nothing was there
it was literally right there 😦
reload your save i guess
and update your game like meatie said, see if that helps/changes anything
the last update was when it got released officially
run out after every fabrication to repair from shadow attacks
you still get the sound effects from the attacks
yep
like inside where the alien thing is
this interaction just wasn't predicted
maybe making the alien bases a separate biome would fix it
ya I just re-logged and got attacked from inside this base thing
wait your prawn disapeared too?
yeah
How do you trigger the debug testing area
i was looking for fragments and accidentally went to the ||void|| way to go me
I have been parking either prawn, or lately seatruck by a wall ||when using the fabricator cavern base whatever to call it, locating a reasonably safe spot between red crystal and wall|| in hopes it’ll still be there when I’m done🙏
So far it’s worked
how do you trigger the animations in the debug testing areas?
The out of bounds place? No idea, since it’s out of bounds it was not really intended for use, it was just left in
hm
Im trying to put a window into my large room and it’s not letting me despite there being nothing blocking it anywhere near the wall
Is there another unfinished construction elsewhere in the room?
No
You can only have 2 things in-construction at a time per large room for some reason
Okay I found the problem
The game placed it but it wouldn’t let me continue construction before
why must they put an invisible barrier that juts out of the wall in front of the window? I can’t even look out of it properly
Yeah I wanted to put potted plants in the little recess a window made, but that’s the way the games work I guess. The indentation is just cosmetic, it’s not real
Shadow if u want the dude needs help on #subnautica-chat
why do the ||chelicerates|| in the ||void|| look different than the normal ones?
i need helpl
i have only found 1 ||body cache||
and iii have ||cured|| the ||frozen leviiathan||
im not sure why iim not getting any ||messages from Al-An||
because living conditions differ between different places
you get hints either by collecting Architect Artifacts, or instead by traveling close by to an important story location
yea i aintn finding any and im stuck, ii ihave 75 odd hours
have you done all of ||Marguerit's|| storyline?
i got to the ||greenhouse||
Without spoilers, is below zeros ending better than the first subnautica? I thought the first was kinda underwhelming as all you did was gather resources for the ||sea emperor hatching enzyme || and then for the ||Neptune rocket||. I didn’t think the ending was very good compared to the rest of the game and it was pretty anti climactic to me. I want to play below zero but I don’t really want to get invested into a game if the payoff isn’t good. So without spoilers is the ending of below zero worth it?
i have 100% finished ||Sam's|| storyliine though
yes, IMO the story is more developed in BZ. The game is overall shorter though
Perhaps looking at a review might help you make your decision
Oh ok
Ah, alright. That's the end of the storyline. All you have left to do is ||ALAN's body parts||.
I just thought that the ending being only gathering resources from my lockers to make the ||rocket|| was a bit underwhelming
So you've only collected ||ALAN's skeleton||?
Alright. Here's a guide on how to find the next ||body part||. It's located in the Glacial Basin (which is a land biome).
||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClRGBvj0KzM||
This video shows how to find the Arctic Spires Cache in the Glacial Basin from your Lifepod in Subnautica Below Zero. Short, sweet, and efficient, I hope it helps anyone looking.
Coordinates for Lifepod: -275 / -11 / -23 || Arctic Spires Cache: -1016 / 20 / 722
Remember to Be Kind, Stay Legendary, and May The Triforce Always Be With You.
np 🙂
HylianMom to the rescue again lol
she is too awesome 👌
BZ kinda has a better ending but the road to it is much worse imo
The rest of the story is pretty bad in comparison to the original imo
Maybe the ||void chelicerate|| looks different because it’s Molting? Dunno. PDA just says that it’s a mutation. Wonder if it was caused by ||kharra? It was described to cause uncontrollable genetic mutation.||
i cannot find the other prawn grappling arm fragment its so annoying
It mutated to look scarier
I just spent at least an hour working on small details in my base, it doesn’t look good but I still like it
Not sure why I did this only after I beat the game
Once you beat the game, you decide to do many strange things
This 100% 
I have multiple questions, the main one being why are the seamoths there
Little pengling just casually walking by the snow white seamoth xD
The pengling not knowing that Robin could easily kidnap it
You can spawn in Seamoths with console commands B)
That’s why it doesn’t have a paint job, it was cut from the game lol
