Is it possible to find sea monkey babies near the nests?

No, they have to be hatched.

Ok good to know, because it’s says in their entry stays near the nests and I was wondering since there is pengwing babies in the wild

It's just to add more lore and make the game seem more lifelike.

Go to the purple geyser area and swim away from delta for a while until you see a big red shrimp. Swim up to him and give him a hug.

I finally collected 2 of all the eggs in the game in hardcore and surprisingly the hardest to find was crash fish because all the nests I checked were glitched and had either nothing or sulfer.

So for some reason my power generation keeps stabilising around the current use?
If I disable my scanner room it's +0,45/-0,45, and if I enable it it's +0,61/-0.61.
I have more than enough solar panels that it shouldn't be an issue.
Or is this just because my bioreactor is empty and it's trying to balance the power with nowhere to store it?
No, that doesn't seem to be the case either.
I'm confused, but hopefully restarting the game might help.

It's not as common as it was in SN1, true. But it's still common enough in the twisty bridges. Explore 100m+ ish and it's all over the walls.

are you talking about the scanner room mod or the actual mineral detector? because if you need to separately fuel the room from the seatruck then i see what you mean lol

Scanner room mod and yes, you have to power it separately. The benefit is that it can be used away from your Seatruck but it doesn't run long due to being extremely power hungry.

I suggest checking the temperatures of your CPU & GPU. If they get too hot it's common for your PC to shut itself off.
If this is indeed the case with your CPU, wiping off the old thermal paste and replacing it with fresh paste may help.
If it's your GPU, could be a few different options. If it's something else like your power supply, replace it asap.

you can also kite it into a more open space and then as soon as it starts attacking you, you can start running circles around it while knifing it, will die quickly enough but it's a little more difficult to avoid it's attacks like this

cause i needed to add fast loading screen mod which removes a framerate cap
random compass
Like the biomes in the original game felt alive and diverse
honestly i don't FULLY agree with that comparison, SN1 had way larger biomes but they weren't necessarily more "alive"
wide harbor
Nah I disagree
The lost river and the tree felt magical and alive. The crystal cave and jellyfish biome felt like it was an after thought
And did they change the story mid way through development?
eternal garnet
yeees.
random compass
story was revised, yes
wide harbor
Oof
crude kite
the old story actually had a much bigger emphasis on Marguerit since you needed to get a precursor tablet from them
also is it just me or has ublock origin made it so on nexusmods you don't have to wait to download mods on the slow download
at least i can click on spoilers without getting anything spoiled cause i finished below zero
eternal garnet
you are ruining lunch. Her lunch.
echo aspen
how many ||ice worms|| are in ||artice spires||

idk
crude kite
how many ||ice worms|| are in ||artice spires||
there isn't a limited amount of them
elfin gust
i think 3?
echo aspen
well thats mean
eternal garnet
hard to count. Probably 1
echo aspen
i just wanna scan the artifacts
crude kite
The ice worm isn't a standard entity
@echo aspen there are some areas safe from ice worm
echo aspen
where does it start appearing
crude kite
where does it start appearing
about 20m into arctic spires
it's extremely rare, you're better off going to the deep lilypads entrance
echo aspen
<@!385179811552821250> there are some areas safe from ice worm
where are the safe spots
crude kite
where are the safe spots
you'll have to find that out yourself
mainly cause they're hard to explain where they are
mainly cause there's plenty of them
Anyways let's go spicing up my 2nd below zero playthrough with mods
won't cause issues cause i had qmod and sml added prior to starting this save
There's something i learned
eternal garnet
ideally, you would be in truck with perimeter defense. That module is manually operated

The parked truck is safe. Prawn is not, except in June/July builds

The parked truck is safe. Prawn is not, except in June/July builds
yeah i noticed in #dev-check-ins that shadow now attacks empty prawn suits
a few weeks maybe months ago
eternal garnet
reverse: the attacking was removed
crude kite
am i this bad at reading
deep kettle
Yes.
eternal garnet
in may build, it gets attacked
deep kettle
It was indeed the other way around, it doesn't attack empty suits in a future update.
crude kite
so spicing up my 2nd below zero playthrough with mods
by far the best op one is seaglide overcharge
keen kernel
Is there a good way to scan the ||chelicerate|| Im missing my stasis rifle rn
crude kite
Is there a good way to scan the ||chelicerate|| Im missing my stasis rifle rn
well if you're mad enough you could perimeter defense them and while the chelicerate is fleeing you could scan them
eternal garnet
you can't get the stasis without cheats. Swim on its back, it can't eat you there
eternal garnet
no
keen kernel
Dang it
eternal garnet
wait. Maybe
keen kernel
I can test later
eternal garnet
Killing it is an idea. A few truck bumps should do it. less than 20 anyway

well thanks for telling me statis rifle is still in
just spawned one in cause i can
eternal garnet
yes it does work
crude kite
as if i would take this 2nd playthrough seriously
eternal garnet
doesn't work on the worm, otherwise it's fine
crude kite
though the holding animation is kinda glitched out
seems hasn't received much attention
least it still has a functioning inspect animation
eternal garnet
the worm might be why stasis is not in game
crude kite
people actually didn't use the statis rifle that often to freeze something and then to scan it
they just froze it and ran away
and well I find perimeter defense to be a good replacement for it
keen kernel
I only used the stasis rifle to either kill something or scan it
eternal garnet
to just swim away safely, a flare works
keen kernel
Otherwise I would just throw up the cyclops shield
keen kernel
and well I find perimeter defense to be a good replacement for it
Agreed
craggy basin
What's a good place to make a base?
crude kite
well titanium won't be an issue with extravagant gifts mod, a sea monkey just gave me a piece of metal salvage
crude kite
What's a good place to make a base?
I would say lilypads since it's pretty resource rich, if you build close to marguerit's base there's a path to deep purple vents
somewhere around
chrome oyster
i would also choose near Delta Station, its central to everything around it, as well as having the mining site near to it as well, and one could build on land to not be in danger
crude kite
hmm a sea monkey gave me an ion cube then went head first into my seatruck
fair shell
Hey all, I am on PC and trying to get thermal power going. For some reason they are adding to my max power copacity at my base put not power input. I have them literally on top of an underwater volcano and they go between 80c and 200c. power line from them to my base is up. Any ideas?
Thermal Placement
power input to base
chrome oyster
maybe restart the game, could maybe jsut be a bug, or just rebuild the thermal plants
maybe that works
eternal garnet
Hey all, I am on PC and trying to get thermal power going. For some reason they ...
Check top of screen. if it says 1800/1800 all the internal batteries are full, and you won't get power added
fair shell
chrome oyster
👍
eternal garnet
Every power source has a battery, eg. solar panel has 75
fair shell
It was day time. I only have solar and thermal. So once it goes to night I dont get any more power coming in.
eternal garnet
Correct
chrome oyster
ahh makes sence
eternal garnet
Where power is drawn from is a mystery though
chrome oyster
yes
eternal garnet
no.. the solar cell batteries can still be full, if not drained
fair shell
fair. But the thermal cells will only charge thermal cells?
chrome oyster
i mean it would still probalby be used by any charging devices or so
fair shell
Just trying to figure out how things work so bear with me. Lets say it was always night and my base was at zero power. Would my 2 thermals be able to charge the base past 500? Or would, in that scenario, the battery capacity from the solar be useless?
fleet flicker
Is there a way to inject Subnautica's content into BZ? Like I'd like to import a Seamoth because I don't quite like the Seatruck, and IMO it lacks sonar
Also I'm a bit disappointed there is no "big submarine" like the Cyclops in BZ, I might want to import that too
fair shell
Ah I just tested that theory. The thermal plants will in fact only charge their own battery capacity. Tor down all my solar and the numbers now make sense. Thanks for the help @eternal garnet

Well the seamoth is actually already in BZ but without textures. I suppose it was used as reference
A cyclops would probably be extremely difficult to maneuver

A cyclops would probably be extremely difficult to maneuver
true
But again is there possibly a way to import the sonar module?
And a working (and if possibly textured) Seamoth?
eternal garnet
the sonar works in the seamoth
as for texture, a mod should be able to do that. Haven't looked
fleet flicker
the sonar works in the seamoth
Yes but since the Seamoth isn't really included in BZ I would want to import the sonar onto the Seatruck
sullen oak
I already went to the ||architect body cache|| waypoint and I'm out of ideas on what to do.
broken badge
You can’t just “import” game files from Subnautica to BZ that I’m aware of. The items must be in BZ “somewhere” and be able to be functional I think. Unless someone can manage to mod them in
Imo you don’t need sonar for BZ. The map doesn’t feel as big and some of the playable area is on land.
And cyclops wouldn’t work, the map was designed around using the seatruck
Just play awhile you get used to it.

do you even know the actual meaning of the term "gay"? xD
spice seal
I'm pretty sure that's the joke
random compass
I'm pretty sure that's the joke
pretty sure it's not 😄
the term gay literally means "to be happy" or "to enjoy life" xD
it's just that it degenerated over the past 60-70 years into derogate usage as an insult toward male homosexuals^^
but it's actual meaning is not even remotely related to sexuality^^
he was making a very terrible pun, but entirely unrelated to the terms origin meaning^^
just wanted to know whether he had any clue about the term he was making a pun about^^
spice seal
I don't think the original meaning of words really has any bearing on what they mean today
spice seal
wdym cynical it meant happy you just said that
random compass
it just degenerated in appliance or meaning over the last half century
yes, but people started using it cynically in relation to male homosexual people
to make fun of them, verbally discriminate them without actually attacking or insulting them
but because of precisely that particular use, it turned into a very derogate term itself and nowadays often is being associated with negative impression
spice seal
My sister is lesbian and she doesn't think gay is like derogatory at all
random compass
oh no, homosexuals often don't care
but it's still intended/used in a derogate way
similar to the term "Nerd"
if you call a gamer a "nerd" they likely won't care, maybe even laugh. But if someone else calls you a nerd, it likely is done so with a negative or derogate intent

thanks, just found the deep purple vents and crystal caves while exploring
random compass
one last thing on that topic though, cause i was about to hit enter on that sentence:
in the 30/40's it was actually a thing to say "I'm feeling gay today" and it meant simply "I am really happy today" or "I feel really invigorated today" 🙂
That's where the term originally comes from 😉
(And that's where it turned cynically "Haha, look at him, he enjoys life/himself")

Are you playing on PC?
If so, then you can find your saved games in the SubnauticaZero\SNAppData\SavedGames\ folder, or by going into the game properties on Steam and browsing Local Files. (The drive Below Zero is located on will differ depending on where you chose to store the game.)

Save often. If on pc, consider finding and copying the save folder so you have more than one

You can use in game commands to get the seamoth. However, the seatruck without attachments has same speed as seamoth, is thinner front to back, but taller up to down, and has 20x the health.
past flume
The seamoth dies in a couple hits that the seatruck barely takes damage from, like bumping the wall
The only thing the seamoth is better for is the solar charger and the torpedos if you are in to that
broken badge
Torpedos suck lmao
past flume
But the prawn thermal charger is pretty good
broken badge
The seatruck has really grown on me
Get a storage and fabricator together, esp with an ion cell, and you can compress resources out on a run, makes it SOO much better than used to be with either seamoth or clunky cyclops
Going on a quick run, or somewhere that’s a tight fit? Just leave modules behind and come back for back for them later
The modularity is really handy
steep mason
I mostly prefer the Seamoth due to how much easier it is to get into tight spaces with it
But then again
I've yet to unlock any modules, so who knows how much I'll like the Seatruck

considering it's about half Subnautica's length

The devs worked hard and they consider it a sequel, that’s good enough for me

And I hate them
But now at least I know what to look for👀
warped hinge
It also applies to NP Bases as well

stop complaining about visual issues, sometimes they're tied to graphics settings and maybe the code is old and getting buggy

Subnautica gets AI fish school effects swimming in bases
my base is just below the water's surface and I keep getting weather effects inside of it, it's incredibly distracting
warped hinge
like the skyboxes affect NP bases, when it's foggy outside an NP base, it's foggy inside too
even with the door closed

Same with the Seatruck

If that’s the worst thing that happens is seeing some hail inside caves I’m thankful at least the game works

But now at least I know what to look for👀
Yeah I remember when i was going through some lilypad crevices close to Marguerit's base and there were 2 spikey traps there
I was looking for seatruck horsepower fragments
broken badge
As for the lilypad caves I finally broke down and watched a video the other day after having trouble finding those stupid seatruck upgrades for the untold time And I’m glad I did!😂
They’re not random
crude kite
I only ever struggled to find the horsepower upgrades cause they're extremely spread out
warped hinge
I hate the Skybox effects on certain hangable collectibles though
it's the worst, simply the worst, and it still remains
I have 2 paintings that stay black all the time
broken badge
The stuff that sticks out from walls, yeah that’s kinda jarring for some things
warped hinge
and unlit, when they SHOULD be lit
oh well, at least posters don't really do that anymore
I think that was a Subnautica-ported fix
broken badge
But compared to gameplay, those things hopefully can be addressed at some point in the future. They have to worry about game breaking stuff and crashes atm
warped hinge
Because they used to stay black as well most of the time
crude kite
you should know that to fix that visual glitch takes quite a few lines of code
and they're quite long too
warped hinge
Mercury II is my favorite, which is why I'm so glad that they fixed that collectible
It's such a cool collectible
reminds me of the Aurora poster from the first game
broken badge
Well and anytime you fix something there’s a risk it’ll screw something else up
Nothing exists in isolation
warped hinge
Yep
I know, that's why the backup cam for the Seatruck was removed
since it just wasn't working the way they wanted it to
and was so glitchy
crude kite
yeah it didn't act like a regular camera and didn't render the water

They said there are over 70 different versions of BZ, counting all platforms/console variations, languages and regions👀
Meaning they have to keep track of all that with the changes
warped hinge
Unpopular opinion, the camera system from the Cyclops should have been what was used for the Seatruck
Since they already had that system working perfectly
Still works like a dream
broken badge
But the cyclops is a fixed system, the seatruck isn’t, how would that work? Where would the camera system be positioned?
warped hinge
Well, except for the Conning Tower cam, which sometimes messes with the geometry of the Conning Tower
warped hinge
But the cyclops is a fixed system, the seatruck isn’t, how would that work? Wher...
That's a good point. I meant devise a similar system
I think side cameras would have been the best
or reverse periscopes extending out from the top and bottom of the Seatruck Cab a little ways
broken badge
I guess that’s one benefit of dumping modules and just using the cabin, for tight spaces I mean
Most places you can at least maneuver with the cabin
warped hinge
I mostly use the Seatruck cab like the secondary pod of the Benatar(GoTG's second ship) for away missions in a faster, smaller vehicle
But speaking again of the visual issues exacerbated in BZ, player bases don't collide with a lot of scenery
they DO fortunately mostly collide with particle effects, unlike NP bases
carmine bobcat
just got below zero yesterday and its so much fun
warped hinge
but they don't collide with a lot of scenery(like the underwater tall red plants in the Twisty Bridges) and some particle effects(like Steam Geysers)
broken badge
just got below zero yesterday and its so much fun
Glad you’re enjoying it!

I put a single Triops fish into a bio reactor and it's still in there
The base now has over 200 energy
300 and counting, this is weird XD
Triops fish is OP
ah, it's finally empty
340 base power after I did a few crafts
crude kite
triops can be found in koppa and I'm pretty sure i've seen some in deep purple vents too
oh well i've got a nuclear reactor unlocked anyways
steep mason
I don't...
crude kite
cause I went to omega lab

If you want i can tell you the coordinates to it
steep mason
I've got the map, I'm good
warped hinge
The number of Limestone Outcrops in a 450 meter radius with the center about 150, 200 meters from the Drop Pod is simply INSANE.
crude kite
there's tons of floating rocks in lilypads
it's quite hard to find
you can just get the coordinates for it
steep mason
oh
crude kite
and you can use the f1 menu and look at camera world pos
steep mason
Aight, coords plz
crude kite
to see where you are
steep mason
mk thx
crude kite
I say the recommended path to get there is Drop pod > Delta station > Lilypads
steep mason
my base is right next to the delta station island lol
crude kite
cause if you try to bolt directly to lilypads from the droppod you'll most likely run into the purple vents chelicerate
