You could just check some of the YouTuber vids there are some about drop pods I think
Just make sure they’re recent
Not from early access
Because I think some of them have worked this out
At least how many possible locations there are
i might
"Neener neener, you can't get me! Sucks to be you, Ice Worm!"
Ice Worms aren't the ONLY ones that can creatively get to heights they probably shouldn't be able to reach
What if an ice worm accidentally burrows into the ocean
Frost Phantom here, like all Prawn Suits in BZ, can sometimes have very buggy inertia physics in the air.
Does anyone know why this is?
Guys should i move my base to thermal spires?
I got a thermal plant blueprint
Solar panel no good tho
Don't move your base
Why?
Do what I do, build outposts
||Crystal Caves||
Just kinda everywhere
||Marg's base and the Deep Purple Vents||
Owh i know where margs base is
deep purple vents ive seen but too scared to go into
Also isnt the deep purple vents entrance the lilypad caves?
Guys how do i get a parallel processing unit
also what can i do with ion cubes i have 5 ion cubes
Guys?
Oh yea mercury 2
Yes
but what can i do with ion cubes
You have to scan more and more ||architect sites|| to unlock
those ion batteries arent the best they still die quickly or maybe i have a bad sense of time lol
bruh
well if i replace my seatruck with ion powercells
How much does a ion powercell cost
I mean material cost
I have 4 ion cubes
Twice that of a Ion Battery
oh it gonna be better though. and it || Ion cube x 1, gold x1, silver ore x1, and lithium x1||
3 from al an injection area and 1 from delta station cave
And each Ion battery requires an Ion Cube
Yes
Surprisingly affordable
yeah
Thanks
so it not all bad
Its also rechargable yee
yeah
If i use an ion powercell on my seatruck and charge it on moonpool, will it take more power from my solar panels?
The Arctic Spires is such a weird biome
Or just terrain
idk lil fri. i havent used one so i cant say
Actually, the entire Glacier is really weird
idk ive only use ion batteries since i have made more then one of them
Both biomes on the glacier are COVERED in basic base building material needs
Capacity?
It’s like the devs want you to build outposts in them
Really?
capacity?
Ion powercell capacity
Ye even alterra build outposts
Bruh dats alot
Its enough for a trip for magnetite multiple times!
Amazing ill be scanning tons of those artifacts
hm really i use it in 20 mins i think. again i have a bad concept of time lol
There are multiple spires idk what u mean
Spires = common fancy word in bz
3 biomes are spires tho
Because it embodies the spirit of adventure. It’s soo easy to lose track of time and spend hours just exploring it
Do u mean thermal spires, tree spires or arctic spires?
Arctic Spires, sorry
Oh okay
And the Thermal Spires are boring
Thermal spires is where i got ruby idk what u mean
It’s a relatively boring biome by itself, not much to do
There’s stuff to do nearby, but not in it proper
I mean its a pretty practical biome less so for aesthetics i guess
Koppa excavation site is in thermal spires tho
Heat areas are also more common there
No. Like Delta Island, it counts as its own biome
As I said, there’s stuff to do BY the Thermal Spires biome, but not a lot to do directly in it.
the moon pool is a life saver. it can charge my seatruck no need to make more batteries
It was made kind of useless though, which is kinda sad.
wdym?
In the first game it was used to make the modules for the seamoth and prawn suit. Now, you can just do it through the normal fabricator
true but oh well im just glad for the charging lol
Well fair
The moon pool is just more of a way for me to put a vehicle and be lazy about charging it
To be fair, the void leviathans were a bit disappointing. Looked amazing, were huge and nice to build a base down there, but well, less dmg than the normal leviathan and only PDA entry mention is one line.
where all power go
Uh... this is the below zero chat.
hello, i wan't to know where al-an will enter in my mind
Why can I not build picture frames here?
if you explore twisty bridges you can find it,try to hear some kind of signals,thats the sign that you are getting close, sorry for not answering in general-chat spoilers are not allowed there
ok thanks
turn on accessibility mode and see if something blocks it
what's that and how do i turn it on?
in the options ... turn on object highlighting
I assume you mean in the accessibility settings, I only have this and not object highlighting
Maybe you mean highlight interactable
yes
Hello!
I like Subnautica a lot. Should I buy BZ?
I can't find the cave where Sam hid the you know what
The Glacial Basin map has a spy pengling circled in red on it, that's where it is
how i find margeurite green house
||1km east of Delta Island, on the iceberg farthest east. You should see some boxes and bones on it.||
ok but as she said i went on east
and i found two checilerates
were they white
then you went south
yes
just foudn the ||bow of mercury 2|| well looking for ||omega lab|| i think i went the wrong direction
||The lab is inside the biggest island in the biome, the one you have to go under to get into the caves with the cotton anemones||
@narrow mirage this one
there's an option in settings to highlight where you have to look to interact with objects
It's an accessibility thing
it is...
I can't find the quickest way to it
The dock near it on the map is above and underwater cave that leads to that part of the basin from a cave under the ice wall near the glacial bay, but I usually just go up some cliffs near Phi and head south from there
Safe on my pinnacle , observing the Iceworm making his routine patrol through the Iceworm Graveyard
I love that pinnacle so much, I put a small outpost up there.
Oddly, it's one of the safest places for a base in the entire Arctic Spires
because that fixed patrol route is the only Ice Worm activity over there
Near the landing pad or the facility?
the Ice Worm never attacks the big pinnacle that splits the Ice Worm Graveyard from the rest of the Arctic Spires
they're both close to each other
just that general area
You can't go directly south from that area becuase there's a dead end
run for it, and hope to get a Cryptosuchus on your tail. If you do, guess who won't be lunch? You.
should I try and get in my prawn suit?
I just hopped out to get some lithium
I should've known that 5 lithium on 1 ledge would be a trap
Chelicerates love to eat Cryptosuchus just as much as they love to eat the player.
Yeah. Get in your Prawn, retreat, flank around the Chelicerate, and go under it when it's not looking
Because you can only find the Seatruck Sleeper Module fragments underneath where that specific Chelicerate patrols
I wasn't after the module fragments
I was after lithium
How quickly can he kill me, ie if he attacks once will I still have time to get into the prawn, cause he's right next to me and coming for me
How much health do you have?
Okay, no need to worry
Chelicerates, Squidsharks, Shadows, and Ice Worms will only kill you outright if you have less than 75% HP
OK I did it
I managed to get in the prawn before it attacked, and only the prawn was damaged
thanks for the help homie
If you have a Repair tool, you can even fix it
oh yeah I did already
but of course you have one by now, it's so cheap
yeah
@gritty flintNext time, if you have the Grappling Arm, you might actually be able to get away unscathed
Alas, I do not have it yet
I really want to get it, but it isn't unlocked yet
I got 1 fragment, don't remember where, but that's all
I have 2, 1 for my Sea Prawn Suit, and 1 for my Land Prawn Suit
what's the difference between the sea one and the land one?
I mean I'd guess the land one doesn't need depth modules
The Sea one has less supplies in it, and also has less storage because it has to have a depth module and the jumpjet upgrade, both of which are useless out of water, so my land Prawn uses only storage upgrades
what is this thing found it in the ||deep lilypad caves||
don't get out and look at it
oh I sea
you'll get high
That's a Lilypaddler. You can see them outside of the Deep Lilypads Cave too. Squidsharks eat them, or at least try to
It'll hypnotize you like a mesmer but it doesn't want to try and eat you, that's it's defense mechanism so stuff won't eat it
They're like a defensive Mesmer
ye
so it wont kill me and i shouldnt go near it?
But actually have much stronger hypnosis
Doesn't it like mess up your beacons?
I remember something like that messed up my beacons and I couldn't get back to my seatruck
I just tried to go where I thought it was
It messes up all of your HUD
the creatures in this game scare me
But it can't hypnotize you when you're in a vehicle, so just hop into your vehicle and kill them if you see one
Yeah the effects last like 20 seconds, thankfully the first time I encountered one I had just gotten out of my seatruck so I could get right back in and wait it out no problem, avoided them fine after that
they don't have much health either, and have no attack
Personally though, my favorite thing to do is to play Basketball with them, using the Repulsion Cannon(which I have sadly not found thus far in this save)
I launch them into walls until they die
There might not be anymore, there used to be though, some updates ago
there's no need to kill them, I'm always inside a vehicle when I'm down there anyway
same with up in the normal lilypads
I love having everything maxed, it's cool
The Void Chelicerates don't spawn until you actually go past the World's Edge right?
I think that's how it works
I don't think I went past the edge
I mean I was right next to ||A part of the Mercury II||
Surely that wouldn't be off the map
idk what you're talking about
I was asking because I was going to do some titanium drilling in the east arctic and last time I accidentally wandered into the world's edge
Yup, they cut it, and it's probably my fault
I was the one who mentioned you can roll Shadow Leviathans with it
And they probably didn't like that, so they removed it
is it this thing?
I think the ||Mercury II bow and stern|| are both close to the Tree Spires, and there are Chelicerates in the north part of that biome
I mean I know the ||stern|| is it's just north of the edge of the tree spires
nah that's a normal one
ah I see
there is so much nickel in the ||deep lilypad caves||
||
||
thank god they marked that a spoiler

BRO
yeah BRO
I didn't know threre were fish isn subnuatica below zero
I was really looking forward to going in blind
which I definitely didn't already do
the ambiance for the arctic is oddly spooky
like there's screeching sounds whenever I get out of my prawn
why doesn't the seatruck fabricator have at least 2 fabricators
there's so much wasted space in here
cool
I hate them
because spooky and they attack me
"like an ground leviathan" lol. Ice worm.
probably one of the most interesting leviathans in bz tho
super cool animations for it, and people look away, run away
You can only scan it in one place though
||Ice Worm Graveyard||
And even then only ||a dead one||, and ||bones||.
fish?
For the last time. It’s NOT a fish!
are you in the water
it smelled you, it didn't like.
It’s a worm, LOL!
where are you
Pengwings aren’t fish either. They are birds!
yeah I don't think he's talking about the ||ice worm||
Snow Stalkers aren’t fish either, they’re basically Polar Bears.
what does it look like
Um, no.
their cousins stalkers, are they fish?
pic
Normal stalkers are
so the cousin of a fish is a bear. Got it
I mean that's how evolution works
especially you
hello infinite abyss
Dunes? Wrong game my fish
man I love that we have the recyclotron so I can just craft a ton of titanium ingots and turn them back when I get back to base
Oh sorry didnt realise i was in the wrong chat
there was just a message where soemone pinged everyone that got insta deleted 🤔
i saw that too
Yeah our bot filters for things like that now. It was one of those "omg discords gonna get hacked guys" chain kind of messages anyways, so it would've been deleted regardless
Good. Does it catch steam scams too?
Should! Artyom implemented a new filter that should snag anybody who tries to do steam scams or tag (@) everyone.
If you receive any DMs however, YAG can't affect those so feel free to message a mod if you get a steam scam DM
Anyways! If y'all have any questions about the bot, feel free to poke in #off-topic. Don't want this to go off topic 
Nice!
Why is there no submarines in below zero
the truck extends, and should cover all your needs really
name it "sub", fixed
-_-
the truck doesn't have growbeds tho
or efficient storage
or customizable interior
or cool voice
or horn
or a bar, or jacuzzi
Terrible
ikr
literally unplayable
No jukebox. Inhuman conditions. Oh wait, jukebox yes.
but the jukebox can't play abandon ship can it
I'm in an area with Frost Acacia,which way do I go to find the Spy Pengling cave?
it can play any mp3 you put in the folder
Go to the south of that area and then from there go east
the special cave? South, east a little, on an ice lake
Yeah
below a snow road
Stealth Modules should've been a thing on Subnautica BZ
fair enough
another way the cyclops is best
alt+f4
Actually does that work in bz?
what's a cold reaper? the ice worm is not killable
The red creatures
ah. just make shrimp salad
A few truck bumps will kill it. Less than 20, I forget
how much of the story is dune?
Well the ones in the vent plant life area real freaking close
Finished
it's more like Tremors. There's thumpers. (But they aren't great)
is multiplayer a thing?
no, not even the mod is being developed atm.
the moment you realise you enter the void
everybody gangsta till you hear that flute ost
how much of the bugs are left?
game bugs? On PC very little
so we cant fly anymore?
not the safe way
also do i get all achievements from playing the story or do i need to do something that i might miss?
starting a new game so just asking while i w8 for game to render(?)
I'd say maybe 7 of 13 are story required
i havent play it for a while so starting a new game
I’m gonna continue where I left off because I remember I have a locker full of penglings I kidnapped
bruh moment
did you spawn that?
but how can you see it like its an ore?
someone told it there are human snacks there. Canned fud
scanner room actually does that
nice
scanner room
it lets u scan for leviathans
its very usefull if u are near a spawn of chelicerates or sum
But can you drill them for ores? - Yes.
I honestly think shadow is the only scary leviathan in bz
Poor pengling
They’ve been in their for over 9hrs of gameplay
Found it
Pengnapping.
it’s not scary the chocoaciterate is worse
the chocolatier?
This game gets confused sometimes lol😂
This was on Switch, so I used my phone for screenshot (hence it’s a bit blurry and colors are kinda out of whack since it’s usually late at night & my room is rather dark)
i think it was underneath maybe
Sometimes you get phantom pings or it just misses one nearby
why
No, I swam around to check depth of the ping, it wasn’t underneath, it was marking that ruby lmao
those are actually there, but underground
meatie
No, that was a phantom ping
u guys tied
Sometimes there are phantom pings from resources you’ve already collected
But sometimes there’s no obvious reason for them to be there, I think sometimes the resources just don’t load in
is that a panther
But I can’t really explain mislabeling a resource since the depth for the ping certainly seems accurate
It’s very minor, but sometimes it’s a little annoying esp when you’re looking for lead since some places there aren’t a lot of the deposits and there are no large ones
But I always get enough so it’s ok
There are some issues I’ve found in upper lilypads and the caves with some resources not being all harvestable, individually or from ore veins, like not all of them can be clicked (usually it’s titanium pieces that are “7 in a row” design, I can get 4 of them but the others aren’t clickable, which still is minor because there’s so much scrap at the wrecks). Some rock deposits are lodged too much in terrain to break though
But there are more important things for them to be focusing on atm
These deposits, only 4 of the 7 are harvestable for me
Spoilers
Cover that please
I read that for that type of deposits, you are meant to remove rocks by propulsion first. But not many do. you can though
you can actually collect them all, just needs to be the correct angle
or, as mentioned, remove the rocks that cover the ore vein first
did you try angle grinder (power tool)
they are ore veins, they are supposed to be "mined"
Mined? Prawn is for the things that say “drill” imo
using propulsion. Saw that by surprise in some pda entry. Maybe prop cannon?
This is the only ore vein type that has any difficulty removing any of the deposits by hand, so I’m guessing it’s a hitbox issue or they’d make them all difficult to remove by hand
The rest of them are easy to get
As I said, there’s no shortage of titanium given wrecks so I’m not gonna use a prop cannon just to get an additional 3 pieces of titanium lol
But thanks for the suggestion
is that a panther
ok guys i found margeurite green house
paint it blue, confuse her
do not miss that now you can make OP food, and (story) find where ||sam is said to have died||
who wanna do a speedrun on subnautica below zero with me dm me
Just finished BZ 10/10 would play again.
Nice!
This is more of a workaround than an actual solution, but a grav trap can make those reachable for you
I did that for a bunch of galena deposits in the area as well, since like 1 in 3 deposits in the upper lily pads were clipped almost completely into the map
Yeah I mentioned that as well. Just needs some cleaning up general, not major stuff though so it can wait. And there’s no shortage of titanium so I’m not worried about a few odd pieces I can’t grab, but thanks for the suggestion👍 They just need a little tweaking of their hitboxes
Why did they make ingots cheaper
Probably because there's no longer scrap lying around everywhere
is there kyanite in the ||koppa mining site||
no
gameplay purposes, bz is meant to be shorter
how many different posters are in this game
these are the ones i have
Shame that the ones from ||omega lab|| are so glitchy and go black all the time
And you can't pick them up when they're on partitions
the big shrimp??? lmao
yes

The 112 hunger and 135 o2 ruined it
where can i find the ||koppa mining site||
Southwest of Delta Island
i dont have the compass yet bc im a dumny
Don't worry. We all are.
I think I might be in danger
my whole base got destroyed
purple vents
rip your stuff lol
why do you have all those upgrades but no modules
this saved me
I have modules at my base
but I had no time to get them before leaving
might as well build some new ones
are you at the ||greenhouse||?
||outpost-zero||
haha i played sbubnouaeaticka beelow zeefro on 4 gb ram haha ding ding
for some reason i thought stasis rifle wasnt in below zero
what the hell did i just type
well its actually not
u can spawn one with the console
but u cant build it
I dont know
but im about to make this game unplayable
(if it doesn't crash)
well it crashed
what did you do
I tried to spawn 1000 chalicerates
yes
I messed up so hard this time that ||I deleted the game.||
people used it to kill leviathans
which the devs do not approve of
ok
i feel like they should have embraced the whole killing leviathans thing. just like Marguerit did in the voice log thingies
no
rather than getting rid of the stasis rifle, maybe rework it to make killing keviathans difficult, but not impossible
@modern steeple
but that ruins the entire message against violence the game subtly portrays
then why do they have you constantly killing fish to keep you alive and margeurit still has the skull of the leviathan she killed as a trophy
margeurit isn't playing subnautica she's playing aquatic dark souls
you're playing subnautica
lmao what.
you do realize that killing and eating a peeper so you don't starve to death and killing a leviathan just doing it's own thing for no other reason than boredom are different things right
ahhhhhh
the game isn't portraying ||maida|| as a role model
she lives in a sad little dirty base at the bottom of the ocean surrounded by undone dishes
yeah, but implementing some sort of item that leviathans drop would make it so that people arent killing them for just “no reason” because people are gonna try to kill em regardless
the devs still don't want to you to kill things you don't have to
even if they do a pretty bad job of stopping people
okay then hear me out, attacking a leviathan while they are in stasis, immediately breaks the stasis
this way you can still use the gun for self defence, but not killing leviathans
and if you attempt to, youll get a taste of your own medicine. this solves both problems
thoughts @spice seal ?
that'd work but it's too late now
yeahh haha
that's the size mine is rn, I usually just stick to a storage and docking module
nope nope nope
that's 225 titanium right there
recyclotron is cool
also the size of that locker is modded
I changed it because the normal seatruck storage is tiny and inefficient
If you get the horsepower upgrade it will lessen the effect of having too many modules
if it's too slow for you you can just drop one
Bioreactor + grav trap = infinite energy!!!
Its eco friendly too!
Why is my seatruck gray
Did the paint wash off?
bahaha. I've been using the Prawn to exterminate leviathans.
I built a base in the Crystal Caves.
Omg marguerits base saved my life
I had no oxygen
All my 3 tanks ran out
Best of all
I got kyanite!
You all doubted me, but i did it!
Let me tell you there is way to much freaking kyanite
At least 27 clusters
I wish there were lead clusters
Al ans bases never ends!
Ooh okay
Just look between them cracks in the cave
Also do you have ||perimeter defense|| on your ||sea truck||?
Oh and by the way i got ion powercells
No
I swam out of the leviathan
I used 1 medkit from a supply crate i found
It’s in ||marguates’s base||, the ||underwater one||
It’s on the floor next to ||the pile of junk||
Bruh
Yep
I missed it on my first play through
It is soooooo good
Also it can kill ||shadows leviathans||
Oh and also
I can make depth module mk2 and mk3 finally
Guys
I forgot where is margs base
its in the lily pads cave
you just have to follow the light sticks that she has placed there
Is it behind the door snow stalker is guarding?
No, just on the ground in front of the door slightly
Owg
It’s on the pile of junk on the floor
Ayyy
Why is it meant to be shorter
I hate subnautica it scares me and I'm scared of leviathan
I got attacked by a shadow leviathan in search for kyanite
Trust me not that scary unless i die
Ah yes chinese potato
Lesh goooo
I know...
unless that was changed/fixed (and i don't remember reading about it), swapping tanks will not restock your oxygen 😄
It still works
sadly oxygen is character bound, not tank bound
It still works?
never worked for me, when i tried
Oh
Well im sure standard oxygen tanks wont work
I used high capacity ones for 90s of extra O2
no it was an upgraded one i tried it with
hm that's interesting, didn't work for me when i tried it a year or so ago.
i know, that's when i tried tank swapping
i actually played last the day the end was released, but i didn't bother trying this again since i was more or less already finished and just waiting for the end xD
U see u need to swap them around to fill them with O2
u probably didnt swap them so it didnt work
@random compass
It kinda makes sense u need to fill them
not sure anymore, no need to ping me in literally the middle of a conversation tho xD
not that i mind it's just a bit odd to ping me here while we talk xD
Yea
U can try it later
Swap ur oxygen tank with other ones
If the meters beside them are full green that means theyre full
If theyre gray empty means no O2 inside
i know xD
So you found out it works?
no i haven't tried it yet
Okay, try that method later
Wait a bit for the O2 to fill up tho
A high capacity/ultra high capacity O2 tank would take a bit to fill up
no, not without a cheat
so alien containment does NOT react well with multipurpose room glass domes
glass domes generally are a thing of their own
it just graphically spazzes. constantly flickering
they break a lot of stuff
doesnt make any sense at all
also jukebox speakers HATE being placed in Large Rooms
atleast in the corridor. atleast when attached to a moonpool
Hey where can i find the shadow leviathan?
Nevermind,i forgot I already had the blueprint
So I've noticed that when I build a habitat compartment above water the fog affects visibility inside, is there any way to fix this? Cause I can't even see across the room
Okay time to go be an idiot and go there without a truck
is it just me or does the habitat builder not need pwer?
the builder definately consumes power
That is a glitch that happens periodically. Once you save and quit or put it away or sometimes remove and reinstall battery it fixes.
just built a few things without battery(only works inside for me)
It will tyically work inside your base on dead, but not outside
this will be helpful in moving my base above water
ah so you can build internal modules but not external ones
I guess an explanation for that could be the builder draws power from the base
The reason is so you can build a crafting module or charging module and not get soft-locked anywhere
ohhh
wait but
you could just make a battery in the drop pod
while difficult if you're really far away, it's not a softlock
Example: build base in crystals, get truck destroyed not have modules in base, die respawn in the base in crystals forever
Yes
I suppose that could make sense for not being able to get to the surface
Or its so you can build the crafting station to craft water when you cant make it back to the pod
Sounds like a bug to me
But i think the main reason is just a make life better thing, cause usually people only build a main base and do a lot inside it, so they can build destroy build rearrange the toilet a million times without having to constantly wait on battery charges
I've had that happen to me before and I just had to go through a hatch. It thought I was outside.
I mean can't you just take an empty battery and titanium to make a scanner and then get a full battery back
dont recharge anymore
Idk its just stupid if you run out of power for every tool in crystal caves without a charger or spare batteries tbh.
ngl the teleportation center is pretty awesome
Tried, didn't work, went out and back in and the fog is still there. It's not that bad it's just annoying and looks bad
Ok what just happened
I had a boomerang glitch into my base and for some reason my character was following it's movements without me touching anything
yeah thats happened to me a couple times it happens whenever you get close to the fish thats swimming around
i normally fix it by leaving the base or saving and quiting
I fixed it by picking up the fish
im not sure why it happens
Can I post YouTube links here?
it seems that they just become 50x stronger when they are in bases
can you open the doors in the ||koppa mining site||
I don't think so
on-topic links are ok
The topic has changed now so I won't, it was just my recording of the weird movement glitch which was apparently 130mb for a 30 second recording so I couldn't directly upload it
Simplest way to fix that is to build a base just outside the Crystal Caves
OK, new problem, I've got 2 water filtration machines next to each other, when I take something from one, it also disappears from the other
so essentially their inventories are linked directly
cough life pod cough
https://youtu.be/0vB_riyqWx8 link to a recording, have I made a mistake designing my base or is this a bug
These 2 Water Filtration Machines had their inventories linked for some reason
that doesnt happen with mine
I mean before I moved my base my old filtration machines worked fine
I had 2 of them right next to each other and they worked independantly
I've tried removing both of them and re adding them so maybe that will fix it
ok it worked
Did anyone else feel that the ending was kinda, anticlimactic? And it just had that energy for the whole story after the opening.
I finished below zero like 3 weeks ago, can’t say anything cause I don’t feel like being capable to rate it
But yes the story did feel kinda stale, Pretty much the game’s entire objective is to go deep like in the first one
with the old story you went deep a lot rarer
and that story was also more Marguerit focused, now they’re kinda non-important, basically a side quest to unlock the most op food
Finally someone agrees with me
Like with this one there are less areas to explore, less things to scan, and a lot less challenging
At least they kept the things they teased a ton
Like the first one had an area that had 7 of 9 things that create terror in humans
Also the map was a lot bigger
And the enemies were actually challenging
It also felt stake-less (if that makes sense), in the first one you not only had to escape the planet, but then halfway through an alien bacteria is killing you. Unless I missed something, I don't think, besides discomfort, there was an actual negative to having al-an in robins head
The only good thing is for building really
Also my game is bugging out because of the Cryptosuchus hotel I am building
Like it takes a good 10 seconds for something to build
The only part that felt like there was stakes was when you had to shut down alteras tracking dish
The bigger map was actually pretty bad in the first one because there were many times where you needed to find an exact thing, and it tended to be extremely small in a gigantic biome
But that was fun
You got more “gameplay”
Shortcuts in the crystal caves that only prawn suit can fit through would like to have a talk with you
And prawn suit was good especially for titanium resource deposits, they’re plentiful
I have killed 8 shadow leviathans, I don’t need no shortcuts
In one save?
They respawned after the last update
It would also take 10 minutes of drilling one to kill a shadow
They don’t respawn there’s only 4 in the game
Exactly
I have one killed in crystal caves, hasn’t respawned
I’m not the type of person to wait for opportunity
The world resource reset resources after the last update
Especially since I play a lot of scp sl and my survival strategies require rushing
They really need to up the health on everything
What are the red creatures called again?
Chelicerates
Those are already big enough of a pain to kill
Why do people say ramming with a seatruck is so good, it literally costs half of your seatruck durability
It does a lot of damage
do ion cubes in the ||alien sanctuary|| respawn
No
probably not
Nope
no way to get an infinite supply
where can i get more ion cubes?
there's a limited amount
Ion cubes are finite, if you ran out if them go to arctic spires cache with a prawn suit
There’s 3 large ion cube deposits there
i think in one of the ice caves there's a stache
yep
tons of them there
You know that place is so freaking difficult to find at times
i recommend looking it up on the internet
Jesus christ the cables literally lead to them unless you’re too lazy to think of the missing bits of cable
There’s no reason to play hard
Keep calm
Listen I always took wrong turns when in that area, my sense of direction is terrible
Man the leviathans in this game pail in comparison to the first...
A compass might help damn
Agreed
Also I 100% bet the speed run time is a lot shorter
On this game
my sense of direction is great but i get so fatigued in the land segments
It always took me almost a full 24 hours to beat the first game, this one took me 10
i mean i was never afraid of them in the first one either
And yet it still felt longef
but they at least meant you had to change your plans early on
If you know where you’re going you can finish it a lot faster, not quite halve the playtime
It took me 24h playtime to finish this game cause I had no idea where i was going
thing is this game is just way better in base building and quality of life stuff
The first one longer
and i enjoyed just doing fun stuff and exploring a bit
Also I hate the fact that there are no lead chunks
there's a reason there are less big chunks
But we out here getting people complaining about slightest visual glitches instead of gamebreaking bugs
Gamebreaking bugs are the higher priority instead if slight visual glitches
unless that was fixed, you can use the prawn suit to relocate them btw, you can quite literally bring them anywhere on the map with a little bit of effort and time^^
One time I actually made the game like subnatica but without water
i mean if only a tiny amount of people get a game breaking bug but nearly everyone gets a slight visual glitch thats of higher importance
not really
depends on your morality
Ok but can we mention what the heck happened to the aquariums
it's only of higher importance if it impacts actual gameplay
no, depends on funds and resources
that's sadly an aspect you can not talk about to people that are not involved with game designs
and no graphics is considered a slight visual bug in your opinion?
nope
I also never found the elevator close to arctic spires cache, the way I got out of arctic spires by going back to bridge and damn the path was long
but i'm saying graphics are pretty important
yes but slight visual bugs are not
and are inseperable from the gameplay
yeah i get that if theres a slight bug who cares
but you might as well fix it after all the game breaking stuff is done
Among us would like to say otherwise, It doesn’t have the best graphics in the world
As long as the game is fun, it’s okay
don't mean how many pixels on screen dude
No need for super amazing graphics
But on a much more spooky note, does anyone stand on rocks that are technically in the void to get photos of the void creatures?
i mean you have to have nice looking and intuitive graphics
not that you gotta have 420 fps and 8k screen res for the game to be good
besides more res can make it worse if you waste time on it
I wasn’t talking about fps and res
I’m talking about detail
more about detail
i also mean that
because you don't gotta animate ever bead of sweat on a forehead
that just makes the game waste resources on your computer and in development
graphics are good if they look good and are intuitive
so if there's an issue that makes something look like something else for example
you have to animate every single atom
that's important
only atoms? the newest games have quarks
i have 7 ion batterys what should i put them in?
Your tools.
which tools
all your tools and make sure to get a set of ion batteries in your vehicles
All of them if possible.
or ion power cells
i dont have eniugh for all of them
you have more than 7 tools?
oh right
if you have to pick one to leave pick the laser cutter
that one never runs out of juice if you visit home fairly often
alright lemme make a list of the 7 most important tools
well i wanna make some of them into power cells for my prawn suit but if i make 2 power cells i would only have 3 batteries left
I recommend going to get more Ion Cubes, then.
then put them in the seaglide and flashlight
those drain super fast
maybe also the habitat or the repair tool
but if you use it often go for the mineral scanner
Are the achievement bugged I’ve done half if not more of the achievements and I’m not getting the trophies. On ps4 btw
is there any way for me to teleport my seatruck? its stuck
Have you used console commands or the developer menu, that disables achievements
Where?
got them trapped through artic tunnels, i havent played in a month and dunno how i got in. i just abandoned it whatever lol
Dm me your save file if you are on PC.
im on pc, im not too worried about it lol thanks though
Ok.
where is the old ladies base
how much damage does the ||ice worm|| do to prawn?
in a small cave system a bit N of the signal point you'll see a trail of o2 plants and light sticks that youll want to follow
can u send me images of where I need to go
not really
ooooooooof
im halfway across the map
but just follow the seabed a bit north until you find some o2 plants and then follow them
found it
Why are you like this?
how many safe spots are there for avoiding the ice worm
caves mostly
If you hear an ice worm, just run as fast as you can in any direction and you'll probably avoid it
so it doesnt attack me when im in a cave
I got home from the old ladies base
scanned everything and found rubies
nice
im sitting in a cave cause i heard the stupid ice worm roar and now i hear him tunneling so i dont know if it is safe to go out or not
how many hits would it take to till the ||shadow lev||
I'm hitting it as it comes to attack my prawn suit then I heal it
can the ||ice worm|| attack me if im on the giant spikes
does anyone know an easy way to get magnemite without getting attacked by a shadow leviathan?
glacial basin veins
k thanks
but beware of snow stalker cause they might attempt to eat you
ok
bring a flare
or a knife
no bring a flare
always bring a knife
that's a real life thing too btw
not a big knife and not to hurt someone, but always carry a small pocket knife, you'll never know if you need it
i think i just had a heart attack due to the stupid ||ice worm|| i thought the cave i was in was safe until i saw the stupid thing tunnleling towards me
remember your PDA charger
yeah I hate them
all i want to do is get the ion cubes that are there but the ice worm was stalking the outside of the cave and then decided to raid the dang cave
I didn't even find that cave until the second time I went, which was probably for the better since I took the snowfox the first time
That would be a bug. Report it.
On what kind of time frame can we expect responses to one of these reports? I've been trying to get the game to actually run for... a while
Never ETA’S on patches
what
It’s gets reported and that’s it, nothing can be done until the next patch.
ok, how do I get tech support from a human if that room isn't the venue
I came here cuz the forums said support was being moved here
how would it be a bug
At far as I know none, no live chat Bessie being in here. I know there is a public chat voice in here, if that’s what you mean.
So there's just not support? Seriously?
Have you checked there actual website?
Ignis can help you
Yes, it said to go to the forums for support. The forums had an announcement that they are closed to posting and support inquiries should join here instead
I'm sincerely trying to follow the directions posted
who/what/where is that
Ignis #6913, one of the Playtesters
And if your problem is absolutely gamebreaking levels of urgency, ping Donya or Tuna
Well, the game crashes when I try to start it. I don't need help within this exact hour but I do expect to play the game in a relatively timely manner
Been trying the troubleshooting steps for a week or so now without getting anywhere. Subnautica itself runs great and I've finished it a few time, so idk
ok pinging @upbeat temple as instructed
What platform are you playing on, @cinder flare?
Windows PC
drivers etc updated, I combed the troubleshooting page before bugging yall with this
Are you playing Steam, Epic, or Windows Store version?
steam
Thank you! Give me just a second, I want to check something with our QA team quickly.
:) my log file is in the bug smash room if you need it
That's awesome. Thank you. They're going to take a quick look at it. Do you have DMs open if they need to speak to you directly?
Your graphic card is not very good.
You have a direct x error I would say it's expected.
That is true, but it's been good enough for every other game ever
Did you overclock?
nope
You have a very very usual error with overclocked graphic cards usually.
Or bad drivers.
Making multiple sure I had the most current drivers was step 1 in troubleshooting this
Real person, not another bug report 😊 Ignis found what we just saw in the logs too, so we're taking a closer look at it.
ok, cool.
Ignis is good
if it's a bit sickly, like mine, you can underclock it
my 2070 is unusable stock, stable at VRAM underclock (and kept cool also)
BZ actually runs buttery smooth until it crashes, too. The card isn't the best but it has handled every game I've thrown at it so far
games use different DirectX functions, so this happens
I'm unfamiliar with video card labels so "2070" means nothing. mine is 6xxx something
nvidia RTX
can I even put a newer card in this tower? If it'll improve all my games it's not off the table here..
Probably, but decent GPUs are in short supply + double the old price
friggin bitcoiners
that's only a small part of the cause
I feel like anything would probably be better than the onboard video on this thing
lol.
yes, argentite, in kelp caves for example under the emergency supply beacon
holes down in some kelp forests. One had a beacon
north-west
it's also in the twisty bridges, at about 100m, on the side walls
anyone down for a speedrun of subnautica below zero
The dab becomes trendy again in the future
Fun fact, you can blame Obraxis for this 🤣
does the thumper attract or repeal the ||ice worm||

D:
I wonder if it's possible to mod the game to allow player Prawn Suits to be painted this way? Because you can't make an identical looking suit, as there aren't options to color all the locations that are colored on Kappa Mining Site suits.
iirc they are actual prawn suit models so
you technically only would have to extract the model and replace the original one with it. not sure that might not break your game tho when you paint them idk
oh god
jiji omegalulu XD KEKW
Guys!
I finally realized depth module MK2 does NOT require kyanite
Well i mean i already did go to crystal caves with only my seaglide
Also, for the people that say chelicerates are idiots, i got grabbed by it while searching for lithium alot
Hey whats the names of all the biomes?
oh no...
Also where can i find crystal sulfer?
Purple vents - Deep purple vents
Twisted bridges - deep twisted bridges
Lilypad islands - cotton caves
Tree spires
Thermal spires
Glacial basin
Arctic spires
Western kelp forest
Eastern kelp forest
Kelp forest caves
Sulfur plants or purple vents
Sulfur plants are the places where crash fish stay
Wait no
U can find them in caves or in purple vents
crash fish in below zero?
This is gonna suck
everytime i hear them i get a heart attack and i’m a wimp scared of almost everything in both games ;-;
It has a chance of having it tho
Oh wait my pod isn’t damaged
It sometimes has nothing inside, sometimes has a crashfish egg and sometimes crystalline sulfur
i’m way too used to the first game
I was thinking that i need the repair tool right away but i don’t
If it has crystalline sulfur it should have a little yellow bump with cracks in the plant
Yeaa nope
I got a repair tool only after i got a seatruck
