[buoyant moat]

relatable

[delicate fossil]

Their head wasn't glowing as much as usual

[buoyant moat]

i think i can explain that

[delicate fossil]

I can't spoiler tag on mobile

[buoyant moat]

they may got the old desgin

[delicate fossil]

Not imagine anyway

[lean notch]

You can

[buoyant moat]

hmm ill keep playing subnautica

[lean notch]

Just rename it to SPOILER_something

[delicate fossil]

Yea, but that's tedious

[spice seal]

yeah it's dumb

[broken badge]

You can’t actually rename images on Apple devices

[delicate fossil]

Good thing I don't use Apple

Tim Cook is stupid

Apple hasn't been very good after the passing of Steve Jobs.

I wonder if Unknown Worlds can partner with a computer company to make an Alterra PDA? I'd buy a PDA.

[tacit lichen]

Hey guys I'm new in subnautica Below zero(Have already played through subnautica) And will now be more active in this chat

First question:where is gold

[celest ferry]

https://subnautica-belowzero.fandom.com/wiki/Gold

[carmine bobcat]

So need some guidance if anyone is willing to help

[spice seal]

They just said they were new and didn't know where gold is, there's no way they have a PRAWN Suit with a drill arm already

[spice seal]

You can just ask questions, you don't have to ask if you can. There will be plenty of people around to answer them

[carmine bobcat]

Well then okay

First time playing and just wondering where magnetite is

Already completed Subnautica so sub zero is the next conquest

[spice seal]

Deep Lilypads Cave or in some caves on land in the glacial basin

You can also just pin a recipe that requires a lot of it and sea monkeys will give you some

[carmine bobcat]

Wait that’s how the whole sea monkey works?

[spice seal]

ye

[carmine bobcat]

😱🤯

Now I feel bad stabbing them every time they took my things

[sinful sparrow]

very early game, you find a little bit of gold if you turn right immediately after you jump in the water for the first time - after a short distance there is a small indent in the glacier base with ore veins with gold and silver. After that, there is quite a lot in most of the kelproot caves, and LOADS (in the form of calaverite deposits) in one region of Delta island - the part you reach by going down the 'back stairs' from the staff habitats up top

[celest ferry]

what?

i was just trying to help

[sinful sparrow]

sea monkeys are only helpful while you have a 'guest' on board. When your guest gets his own place again, sea monkeys stop being helpful. >.<

[spice seal]

Yeah I honestly wish I hadn't done that yet so I could have an army of sea monkeys outside my base who give me stuff I need

If I'd known I would have saved before or something

[sinful sparrow]

you can say that again. I thought breeding and releasing loads was so clever up until that point. Oops.

[robust saddle]

can someone dm me the coords of the ||Koppa Mining Site entrance||?
i still cant find it and im getting frustrated

[sinful sparrow]

I'm sorry, I don't have coords, but I can talk you through it the oldfashioned way

[delicate fossil]

You can look them up can't you?

[broken badge]

There’s a map on delta you can scan, shows the position of the different places. It’s southwest of delta

Look for the light sticks

There’s some floodlights near the entrance

[spice seal]

rock puncher gave me a free rock

[void owl]

Where do i find the different upgrades for my seatruck

[spice seal]

Afterburner and horsepower upgrade fragments can be found in sea monkey nests in the Lilypads

Perimeter Defense can be found in ||Pilot's base||

Or did you mean the modules

[void owl]

||the pilot has a base?????|| i thought it was just a useless ping

Also i meant the upgrade

Not modules

[spice seal]

Look around in the caves near that signal

[void owl]

Thanks

[spice seal]

Don't worry I'll let get you out of there

[void owl]

My guy got 2 storage modules lmao

[spice seal]

?

[viscid sierra]

Where do I go after marguiretes greenhouse? I can't really find anything story related, and rn am just building a base.

[spice seal]

||You can go back to their first base, you'll be able to access the back room||

but other than there's nothing else you can do with them

[viscid sierra]

Really? Is that the end of the story with her? Also what should I do then for the architect story

[spice seal]

find the body parts, alan should hint at where they are when you scan artifacts

[viscid sierra]

Oh. I really wish there was more to marguirete and the Degrassi crew

[void owl]

How deep tho

And how do i avoid one of those splitting mout thingies

I see light coming out of a cave but its protected

[eternal garnet]

protected? By a leviathan? That is never true, it's not what they are for

[void owl]

No those weird grey thing that split their mouth

Idk their namr

[eternal garnet]

it's at about 350, you can swim from 300 no problem

Squidshark

[void owl]

Yes i think that it

[eternal garnet]

To find it, follow the wall light plants, and o2 plants, and light sticks

[void owl]

I have foung w light sticks around 270 deep

[eternal garnet]

nice. go down

[void owl]

But both entrances to them are protected by those sandshark

Squid

Not sand

[eternal garnet]

no.. they just happen to be around. Ignore them and go

they are meant to scare you, not make you turn back

[void owl]

So should i leave my two sestruck modules back at the entrance for faster travel or keep it with me

[eternal garnet]

no opinion. They will fit

[void owl]

Bruh

Ok last question how much damage do they do to a seatruck

[eternal garnet]

not a lot. Might kill your power for 5s
It's their special trick

[void owl]

Oh so thats why i randomly lost power running a away from one

[eternal garnet]

I would repair immediately, because attacks have a cooldown

[void owl]

Wdym rwpair immediatly jump out and repair tight after they attack or what

[eternal garnet]

yes!

Because they will leave you alone for a bit

This is true for any subnautica monster

[lean notch]

Just get in before it sucks you in it's mouth

[void owl]

It what now

Im in a seatruck tho

[eternal garnet]

shh, potato tells lies

the module pilot has dropped on her floor, will make you feel so much safer. But practice using it

[lean notch]

Is it just me or does wifi slow down when you're looking at it's speed

[eternal garnet]

^ video contains potato lies

[void owl]

Partial lies since u need a certain hp to be eaten

[lean notch]

That's true..m

[void owl]

Also im stupid and lost the place

[lean notch]

Nice

[void owl]

But i did find the ||fossil excavator artifact|| so that nice

[lean notch]

Where are you even trying to go lol

[void owl]

||the pilots base||

[lean notch]

I am the definition of Truth

[lean notch]

Ah, need help?

[void owl]

Yes

[lean notch]

Can't you just turn the beacon back on?

It's been a while since I played bz

[void owl]

Well the thing is idk what cave it was in

[lean notch]

Ah well it's somewhere close to the big hill in the middle i think

[eternal garnet]

dive down under the beacon (toggle it if it's hidden), or better still go down where a big cable goes straight down

follow light plants, o2 plants and light sticks, down

[void owl]

Big cable?

[lean notch]

Marg has rgb plants

She's awesome 😎

[eternal garnet]

the cable hangs from a floaty rock

it literally points to the entrance

[void owl]

Found it but i am still scared of them should i just leave my modules there and go for spead or doesnt is matter

[eternal garnet]

it doesn't matter

[void owl]

Saving is a good idea lol

Bruh now im just at ||maida's house||

[lean notch]

What you afraid of

Just ram em all

[void owl]

I only ram the sea monkeys

[lean notch]

Why, they give you free stuff.

[eternal garnet]

don't hurt them! They help

[void owl]

They keep getting in the way

[lean notch]

What'd you expect to find

[void owl]

The ||pilots base||

[lean notch]

Well you did...

[void owl]

Bruh someone said perimitwr defense is there where is it

[eternal garnet]

floor

[void owl]

Floor???

The floor inside the base or below it

Omg im blind

[eternal garnet]

floor

[void owl]

It was on a crate not the floor

[eternal garnet]

weird. Are you on an old version?

[lean notch]

👀 wat

[eternal garnet]

you appear to be, and that ver. has no ending

[void owl]

It what now

Wait 1 aec

[eternal garnet]

build number? it's a number over 20000

[void owl]

Nag its lates version

[lean notch]

The perimiter defense upgrade is on the floor tho

[eternal garnet]

yes, but it used to be on a box

[void owl]

Bruh i just checked for updates its the latest version u guys are messing with me

[lean notch]

🇺 🇼 🇺

Screenshot of the floor

nOeeww

[eternal garnet]

Build number from menu, TRoubleshooting

or it's in the corner of every screen

[lean notch]

Ver 0.1

[eternal garnet]

no

[lean notch]

When did EA release?

[eternal garnet]

early 2019 maybe

[lean notch]

I think I have had it since then

[void owl]

i ltterly bought it like 3-4 days ago

[lean notch]

Never played it tho cuz i didn't want to get spoilered

[lean notch]

Look on the floor

[eternal garnet]

but won't give build number

[lean notch]

Is there any upgrades

[eternal garnet]

I think duck found it

[void owl]

It was on a crate next to the table

[eternal garnet]

yeah that was true about a year ago

Which is odd, if you did pay for it

[lean notch]

Lol

[void owl]

Nah u messing with me my ps4 said latest version

[eternal garnet]

Maybe it moved again to make it easier to spot

[void owl]

Maybe but i think u werejust messing with me show me a pic of it on the floor and i'll belive u

[broken badge]

Did you know the perimeter upgrade is on a box until you enter the room and Preston knocks you over

You can see it on the box thru the roof and from the doorway before you try to cross the threshold

Once he knocks you down it’s on the floor

[eternal garnet]

such weird

[broken badge]

I didn’t play it in early access so idk how it was then

I assume his impact with you knocks it off it’s crate

[void owl]

The first time i went in i didn't even know it was there but when i entered for the second time it was on the box so idk

[broken badge]

Huh, I wonder if it resets if you come back later?

I probably would’ve missed it ngl if I didn’t use the accessibility highlights feature, that’s really helpful for a lot of stuff imo even if you don’t have vision issues

[void owl]

What does the highlight even do

Does it putline things

[broken badge]

Highlights fish, resources, things you can interact with etc

[torn barn]

Agreed, I found bz is a bit darker so things are harder to see

[broken badge]

Here’s just one example (don’t steal the kids)

[void owl]

Seems iritating honestly

[broken badge]

Helps find resources

You can change the color to bright or dark ones (depending on what color you choose)

So dark blue or purple or whatever would be less annoying and you can turn off and on at any time in menu

I do wish there was an option to have it auto toggle off inside bases, it is kinda annoying there, but I can understand if they didn’t incorporate that since it’s underlying goal is for accessibility not just to make it easier for the general playing audience. But if they could, they would be icing on the cake imo

[gray frigate]

anyone else find it weird that the devs spoil the leviathan in the crystal cave area with a loading screen?

[eternal garnet]

highlight, and module. Yes it was on the box before Preston knocked it over

Guess who Preston is

[void owl]

I think it might be on the crate cus i can acces the other room

[viscid sierra]

Is Preston the d o g g

[fading star]

Does the void chelicerate have its own data entry?

[viscid sierra]

Is that the massive thing that has its own biome in it

And the juvenile is leviarhin

[fading star]

no, it's the "white" shrimp shark

[viscid sierra]

Idk

An you scan it?

[fading star]

I wante dto know whether I should hunt it or not lol

not going to go through the effort if there's no data entry

[viscid sierra]

Will search up now

I think you can

But dont

I think it's 1-2 shot

Not on it

On you

I'm pretty sure you can scan

[fading star]

it'll 1-2 shot the prawn?

[eternal garnet]

probably 3-4 hits to kill it

[fading star]

hmm

maybe I'll give it a go, I'm in a hardcore save though, so maybe not worth it lol

[eternal garnet]

ok I will test it then

It is identical to Chelicerate. So no, not scannable

[carmine bobcat]

my friend told me to kill baby penguins

good soldiers follow orders

[eternal garnet]

don't sit near your friend anymore

[leaden hare]

Preston has his own plant

Marg says he has alot in common with her

[eternal garnet]

yes... the smell for one

[leaden hare]

Mhm

[thorn pumice]

lol oof I almost beat the game and it decided to fsod crash. Didn't realize I hadn't saved in an hour so welp

[carmine bobcat]

Why isn't there an auto-save feature?

you should totally be able to tame snowstalkers

atleast the baby ones

[clever hamlet]

so you can save-scum if something goes wrong

[carmine bobcat]

^^^

also you could get glitched

like i was,

i was stuck in snow and had to quit and load my 10min older save

[zealous beacon]

Fun tidbit: You can delay the delta base cutscene.
There is a cave full of calaverite below the base, that if you can get into the lower entrance, takes you up to it from a different route than the cutscene.

[serene sparrow]

there should be a different cutscene for doing that

[spice seal]

huh

[serene sparrow]

like an easter egg

[zealous beacon]

Alternately, showing up in a prawn suit causes the scene to not trigger.

[serene sparrow]

but nobody would have a prawn suit before going there

[zealous beacon]

Depends on how you explore. There are three locations with prawn pieces, and all of them can be reached without going onto the island.

[spice seal]

Are there not large titanium deposits in the west arctic? I've been looking around for a while and I've found plenty of copper and quartz ones but no titanium. The wiki says they can be found in this biome. Are they only in specific locations like a cave or inside an iceberg?

[serene sparrow]

lets face it, if obraxis prime (i think thats what it was) never launched, we would have guns in subnautica (both games i assume)

[spice seal]

wdym never launched

[serene sparrow]

i meant like never existed

[zealous beacon]

By name, Obraxis Prime was probably a colony on a planet.

[serene sparrow]

oh

but if it never existed we would have better weapons in both games

[zealous beacon]

And both would be more boring for it.

[spice seal]

I'd say planet itself

[serene sparrow]

we should ask someone if it was a planet, ship or colony

[spice seal]

could be a ship ig

[serene sparrow]

it felt like it would be a ship

since all you really hear about ingame is ships

i guess?

[spice seal]

But the use of the word on doesn't sound like it would make sense for a colony, it'd be in or something imo

[zealous beacon]

Unless the colony and planet share the name, like Eden Prime from Mass Effect.

[serene sparrow]

i feel like if the colony was obraxis prime then the planet would just be obraxis

[zealous beacon]

I want the greenhouse room size. Its built like the large room, but its sized like a moonpool.

[spark pike]

what

[dull steeple]

listening to the my little pony intro 1 hr loop while playing subnautica is my favourite thing!

[gloomy grail]

[agile viper]

And how is it going with the Seatrucks?

[tawdry mantle]

Seatruck can make a great portable mini base with all the modules. 👍

In Subnautica OG the Cyclops was so big that you could permanently live there for the whole entire game but that’s not the case for Seatruck btw but it’s amazing. 👍

[spice seal]

If they went ahead with adding the planter module for the seatruck I might actually use it as a mobile base

the aquarium seems like a hassle because you need the fabricator module as well to make water or cook the fish without getting out and thermo blading them or something, and I usually just use a storage and docking module so I can still go fast, a whole 2 modules would slow it down a lot more

and the fish have to hit the module itself (unless you have that mod) so it wouldn't happen as much as slamming into fish head on

[broken badge]

Actually no.
You do realize Obraxis Prime (well, the story we have of it) it pretty much just an in game reference meant to give a lore based explanation for what’s really the devs’ stance about weapons in general in video games, theirs anyway.
When they started making og Subnautica, it was right around the time of the Sandy Hooks elementary school, shooting, and they decided collectively they couldn’t bring themselves to continue making violent video games, so that’s why there aren’t offense-oriented things like guns in them. Just stuff meant for defense and evasion, in case you weren’t aware

[serene sparrow]

oh

[noble yacht]

Salad is amazing

[spice seal]

Yeah I wish I'd known that they didn't spoil, I assumed they would so I didn't make any

[modest dove]

Pain.

[midnight wolf]

who pinged me 😔

[dawn temple]

p i n g ?

[cold sonnet]

same

[old pivot]

someone probably pinged devwatchers or smth

[midnight wolf]

no

[old pivot]

by that i mean they pinged a bunch of top members

we all have a's in our name and i have a symbol

[midnight wolf]

ah

[eternal echo]

I das in my Notifications that there we're a Lot of named pinged

[old pivot]

so we appear top of the members list

[eternal echo]

Including me

[cold sonnet]

[old pivot]

so they probably just pinged the top members they could see

lets just move on now that we understand what happened

[eternal echo]

Ok

[cold sonnet]

tetektiv

[steep fox]

Hmm

[restive iris]

Hey so I had to use console to get myself out of a stuck position in ||Marguerite's base|| and I now realize I haven't been unlocking any achievements I recently have gotten and I'm wondering if there is a way to re-enable achievements

i really worried cause i usually have much more fun with achievements cause it feels like a sense of progression but if they dont work anymore Im wondering if restarting the whole game is the only way

[leaden hare]

Guys

Did u ever realize theres sn1 coral in the phi robotics aquarium

The veined nettle

[viscid sierra]

Is it just me or is table coral impossible to get without going 500m away

[zenith wind]

hi

[lean notch]

You can't re enable achievements on below zero once you enable console

[restive iris]

wow

[lean notch]

Only way is to start a new save

[restive iris]

thats dumb considering you can get stuck so easily

[lean notch]

Well otherwise you would just be able to warp to the last facility and get the achievements things

I think I had them disabled during my run but Idrc about them so ya

[restive iris]

i guess but like there should atleast be another way to unstuck yourself

[lean notch]

Wait no i have it on epic games

[restive iris]

dont let it be only a console command

[lean notch]

It doesn't even have achievements

[restive iris]

that sucks achievements are like half the fun of the game 😦

[lean notch]

Not for me

Can't care less about them

[carmine bobcat]

I’m still looking for the ultra high capacity tank

Also, i thought there would be more on the land

Took me like 30min to find the cache sand then the frozen leviathan and then I scrammed

Also, btw ice worms one shot prawnsuits

[lean notch]

They don't

[lean notch]

Need help?

[carmine bobcat]

Hello, does anyone have a Map for below zero? I want a map that has no spoilers and shows the starting point, I just wanna be familiar with the zones and biomes

[clear siren]

There's a pinned map, you can turn off everything

Nvm map is only pinned in normal channel

https://subnauticamap.io/belowzero is link

[carmine bobcat]

Thank you

[clear siren]

Lifepod is North east I believe

[carmine bobcat]

Also can I get a main idea about the game without spoilers?

[clear siren]

There's 3 possible spots

What parts of it?

[carmine bobcat]

Idk just in general, what am I exactly trying to do except knowing about Sam

[clear siren]

It's an exploration game mainly

[carmine bobcat]

I bought the game 1 hour ago

[clear siren]

Okay

So you'll explore and find 2 more quest lines

There's like 3 stories

One of Sam and what happened with her

Then also two others

Have you played subnautica?

[carmine bobcat]

Yes I have played subnautica

That's why I got below zero

[clear siren]

Oh okay so that helps

BZ is a bit more defined than sub1 with what to do

[carmine bobcat]

they nerfed everything

You have to find different rocks for gold and silver and THEY ALL HAVE TITANIUM

[clear siren]

Oh the fish hurt a lot less

The rocks are at shallower depths

Fish sound scarier though

[carmine bobcat]

Its like a seamoth

[clear siren]

Kinda

[carmine bobcat]

I legit keep hearing leviathans in the safe places

[clear siren]

So you can add on modules

More modules = slower

[carmine bobcat]

The upgrades yes

[clear siren]

But more useful

[carmine bobcat]

wait what do you mean by modules

[clear siren]

Not upgrades, modules

[lean notch]

They don't

[clear siren]

Like things you can plop on the back of it

[carmine bobcat]

I didn't watch ANYTHING about BZ

I came in blind

[lean notch]

Medium sized creatures have the same amount of damage as sn1 and leviathan damage is about the same

[clear siren]

Felt like they did, or game felt less dangerous with the fish anyways

Modules are extra things you can add onto the back of your seatruck

[lean notch]

Less creatures i guess

[carmine bobcat]

I will see, finding fragment is harder in this game

There are no wrecks so far

[lean notch]

Yeah they're compartments with different functions you can attach to the back of your sea truck

[clear siren]

Fragments aren't in wrecks

[carmine bobcat]

also why Tf I don't have access to a habitat builder??

[lean notch]

Some are

[lean notch]

You gotta find it

[carmine bobcat]

Oof

[clear siren]

There is one small ship that has wrecks from it

But nothing like sub1

[lean notch]

It not that small actually

[clear siren]

Just look on the floor

[carmine bobcat]

You know how hard it was to find a mobile bay

I found the seatruck frags sooner

[clear siren]

There is small alterra platforms about the place though

In shallower areas with things in them

[carmine bobcat]

The one near the weird iceberg?

[lean notch]

Robin works for Xenoworks and I guess they don't have the alterra blueprints

[carmine bobcat]

I will try to not watch any guides on this one, for Sub1 I legit watched a guide for everything lol

[clear siren]

What weird icebergs?

There's a lot of icebergs in the game

[lean notch]

I found below zero 100x easier than sn1

[clear siren]

Is that because you already played sub 1 though?

Also Adrian with you saying you could hear leviathans in safer areas as I said fish are louder

Those aren't leviathans

Probs not at least

[leaden hare]

Smj

[lean notch]

Squidsharks make horrible sounds

They have like 10 different ones too

[leaden hare]

Squidsharks are like crabsquids

[clear siren]

The biting guys yell really loudly

Can't recall name

[leaden hare]

Btw perimeter defense is EXTREMELY op

Chelicerate?

[clear siren]

Ones in thermal spires among other areas

[lean notch]

Agreed

And way too easy to get

[leaden hare]

Oh, cryptosuchus

[clear siren]

yeah

[leaden hare]

Yea those guys are bad

[lean notch]

Meh

They're sand sharks

But uglier

[leaden hare]

Lemme make a list of similar creatures in sn1 and bx

[viscid sierra]

can anone help? I'm tryign to find the first architect body cache and it is right beneath the nickel area, but i cant find a way down any deeper, does anyone know how to ge tto it?

[leaden hare]

Peeper = arctic peeper
Chelicerate = reaper
Cryptosuchus = sand sharks
Squidsharks = crabsquid

[leaden hare]

Its in deep lilypads

[lean notch]

Use seaglide map

[leaden hare]

In the cotton caves u can see alien lights

[lean notch]

Chelicerate doesn't even get close to reaper

[viscid sierra]

oh

[leaden hare]

They were meant to replicate the reaper

[lean notch]

They did a really bad job at that

[leaden hare]

Yea maybe

Shadow leviathan = ghost leviathan

[lean notch]

Meh you can't compare the leviathans imo, the ones in sn1 were just so much better

[leaden hare]

Well im comparing em to the closest ones

[lean notch]

But I guess they were supposed to be less scary

[viscid sierra]

rabbit ray = artic ray

[leaden hare]

Yes

[lean notch]

Crashfish=crashfish

[leaden hare]

Y e s

Stalker = snow stalker

Pretty easy 2 avoid

[lean notch]

Stalker = brute shark

It's sad they didn't make the squidshark a big leviathan

[deep kettle]

Wiki keepers: angry noises

[viscid sierra]

i have a glitch that means whenever i enter my seatrucks compartments i go immediatly into the seatruck, so i cant get into my compartments. can anyone help because i need to use my storage box

[clear siren]

Your angle is too much

You can only deviate it so much from horizontal and still get in normally

[viscid sierra]

oh, thanks

[viscid sierra]

lol, outside the artichect cache in the lillypad biomes there some spinefish hordes that have really bad overlay, and are just boxes

they are ust badly textured boxes

[carmine bobcat]

Where is the starting point on the BZ map

The BZ map is so confusing

[lean notch]

No you are a badly textured box

[carmine bobcat]

NotAfish where you at mah man

[viscid sierra]

can you see the box the fish is in tho?

[carmine bobcat]

Coordinates for PC players make life alot easier

[lean notch]

That's the starting area

[carmine bobcat]

How about the Pod area

[lean notch]

Something like this

[carmine bobcat]

Ah alright thanks !! Thats very useful

[deep kettle]

The drop pod spawns in different positions.

[carmine bobcat]

Yes same as Sub1

What are those weird markers tho

[deep kettle]

These things?

[carmine bobcat]

Yes

[deep kettle]

They are locations you would ideally want to visit at some point, and to be more specific ||they are bases from Alterra||.

[carmine bobcat]

Ah spoilers?

I bought the game 1 hour ago and I came in fully blind

[deep kettle]

Just marking it in case someone doesn't want to exactly know what they are, but it's not a huge spoiler or anything.

Then don't look at it.

[carmine bobcat]

Okay then, thanks btw

[deep kettle]

Just know they are something you want to find at some point, but don't worry too much about it 🙂

[viscid sierra]

how do i craft the architect skeleton?

[carmine bobcat]

should I go right now? I have a seatruck

[viscid sierra]

i ahve all the required components

[deep kettle]

You could, but that's up to you 😛

[carmine bobcat]

Yes yes

[deep kettle]

||You need to fabricate it in a certain place||

[viscid sierra]

oh, where?

[deep kettle]

In the deepest point of the map, did you only find the part you mentioned? Otherwise you probably haven't been there yet.

[viscid sierra]

yeah, i just found the skeleton and the resources needed

[carmine bobcat]

Why are crystalline sulfurs so easy to get

[deep kettle]

Then I would suggest just keep going with whatever you want to do and have left to do, you can't get there yet I believe.

[carmine bobcat]

why delete dat

[deep kettle]

Because it bypasses the chat filter.

[carmine bobcat]

I censored but okay its fine

[dreamy grove]

Does anyone know where i could find a guide to speedrunning? Watching 30-40 min runs and understanding very little of the run is time consuming .

[lean notch]

YouTube?

[restive iris]

so is there absolutely no way to re-enable achievements? Like is there maybe an outside tool I can use, cause this has really ruined my below zero playthrough rn

[dreamy grove]

maybe you could edit the game files

[restive iris]

is there a youtube tutorial for that?

[dreamy grove]

i do not know

i think i heard about disabling console and restarting the game making achivments re enabled

[restive iris]

ive done that

look i mean if there are gonna be game breaking bugs in your game atleast give players the benefit of the doubt and let them use console to fix it

[bold monolith]

There is an outside tool. It's called ask Ignis.

[dreamy grove]

did you recently use the console?

[restive iris]

ignis

god

what do i do

[bold monolith]

Dm me your save file and I'll enable them again.

[restive iris]

that seems really unsafe

[bold monolith]

I agree. Trusting a UWE playtester isn't really safe.

[restive iris]

couldnt you just somehow delete my save file or idk somehow get into my steam account

[bold monolith]

That sounds way more unsafe than you giving me your save file.

[restive iris]

no i know i mean if i gave you my save file couldnt you just do that

[dreamy grove]

im pretty sure save files only dont have any info that could get your steam account hacked

only if he sent you back some virus that steals info

[burnt jungle]

whats with the alien containment reflections

[restive iris]

also idk how common a role playtester is

[burnt jungle]

they suck ngl

[bold monolith]

It's a bug @burnt jungle. Nothing else.

[burnt jungle]

oh

i thought it was because of my save file being used in an early version

[restive iris]

isnt playtester just a role you get for playing the early access version

[bold monolith]

It's the Cyclops's reflection you see.

[burnt jungle]

i thought it was a scanner room

[bold monolith]

No, it's a role given for community members who playtest the game for UWE.

[dreamy grove]

well anyways isnt the enabling the console going to disable steam achivments , wouldnt it have the same effect as disabling the console ?

[bold monolith]

Typing in the console bar and pressing enter disables the achievements.

Activating the console in the F3 menu doesn't.

This is saved in the save slot.

It wasn't the case for Subnautica.

That's the reason why you could use console commands, reload the game and they were triggered.

[mighty dawn]

guys i beat subnautica below zero

[restive iris]

cool

[agile viper]

Nice

[restive iris]

is it just me or do quantum lockers just never shut up

the fan is just constantly in my ear like FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

[deep kettle]

Then place it away a bit from your base 🙂

Also Lordan, the playtester role isn't just given to anyone. They are specifically given to people by the Subnautica devs.

Just so you know 😄

[restive iris]

Thank you for telling me! Just wanted to make sure I can trust folk and I now know I can trust folk here : )

[agile viper]

I never used the Quantum Lockers

[deep kettle]

In general always stay careful, don't just randomly click on links etc. but Ignis was just trying to help you out with the achievement problem. I don't expect him to do anything weird.

[restive iris]

Yeah he helped me, I definitely thanked him a lot!

He's a great dude

[deep kettle]

That's good to know 🙂

[restive iris]

Im glad this is such a great community where people will take the time out of their day to help others out

[safe moth]

what do I do?

[deep kettle]

It's great how many people in here help others yes!

[deep kettle]

You'll need to find something which belonged to Sam to put in there 🙂

[safe moth]

k thx

[carmine bobcat]

||Look on the glacial basin map. There will be a picture of a spy pengling whcih will be circled. Head to the location of the spy pengling and use a spy pengling to get inside the cave.||

Nevermind I just realized you already did all that.

[deep kettle]

Oooh, woops. I indeed see now lol.
Yeah just press the button on the panel next to it 😄

[twilit tendon]

Huh. Quick question. Is the save data for the steam version of the game stored in the cloud or is it only locally?
Because I lost the hard drive all my games were on and relaunching Subnautica : Below Zero now that I've redownloaded it just gives me.. no saves

[carmine bobcat]

Locally I think

[deep kettle]

At the moment it doesn't support cloud saving, it had issues and was disabled until they can figure out a better way to reliably use it.

[twilit tendon]

Oh. Welp. Lovely

Does that also include base game subnautica?

[deep kettle]

The base game never had the option, Below Zero was the first game that was supposed to get it. Until they disabled it again 😅

So no the base game doesn't have it.

[twilit tendon]

So I've lost both of my games :c
That's a shame, I loved the hominess of my surface base in base game

[safe moth]

I didn't realise it was there XD

That's why I turn highlight interactables on

[deep kettle]

Isn't the panel highlighted?

[safe moth]

I didn't notice it

[deep kettle]

Ah alright 🙂

[carmine bobcat]

hmm

[sinful sparrow]

… Daleks?

[deep kettle]

They are evolving!

[serene sparrow]

they must be singing guns by tankman and ascending

[dreamy grove]

they drank redbull and now ... they have wings

[restive iris]

in subnautica 3 we will be the pengling leviathan

[serene sparrow]

we need the leviathan leviathan

[dreamy grove]

isnt leviathan an adjective?

[serene sparrow]

not anymore

[dreamy grove]

fair

[serene sparrow]

the leviathan of all leviathans

[dreamy grove]

subnautica one : high tempreatures subnautica below zero : low tempreatures subnautica 3: ?

[lean notch]

Is it?

[serene sparrow]

subnautica 3: bigger leviathans

[lean notch]

You can use it as one i guess

[deep kettle]

"Subnautica: Medium Rare" of course.

👀

[serene sparrow]

subnautica but the planet exploded

[lean notch]

Subnautica 3 : non existent temperatures

[serene sparrow]

subnautica 3: ridiculously high temperatures

[restive iris]

subnautica 3 its just you on the aurora before it crashes

[lean notch]

Subnautica: very hot

[dreamy grove]

or degassi

[lean notch]

Or not

[serene sparrow]

de gas

[dreamy grove]

maybe subnautica 3 is going to be on the precursor planet

[serene sparrow]

how would you play that thi

the precursor planet doesnt seem to have any water

and if its called s u b n a u t i c a it needs water

[dreamy grove]

maybe the atmoshpere is water

[restive iris]

subnautica 3 is just like RAFT where you play as ||Marguerite floating on the reaper leviathan corpse across the void ||

[lean notch]

Subnautica 3 is In a desert with no water

[deep kettle]

I hope they don't continue the ending of BZ.

[dreamy grove]

yeah

subnautica 3 would really benefit from the subnautica lonely feeling

[restive iris]

it really feels like it should just be a dlc or like a movie

[dreamy grove]

they havent done a dlc so prolly a 3rd game

[serene sparrow]

subnautica 3 should be all deep ocean

[restive iris]

i saw a forum about that

[serene sparrow]

gives more room for bigger subs

[lean notch]

Subnautica 3: robin and Alan start a family

[restive iris]

the game is set at like 8000m

[dreamy grove]

subnautica 3 : robin with robin go to explore the earth deeep ocean

[serene sparrow]

ok but no safe shallows

two robins?

[dreamy grove]

robin robin robinson and robin ayou

[serene sparrow]

subnautica 3: destroying alterra once and for all

[deep kettle]

That's not necessarily my point, the point I have with it would be that the mystery of ||the Architects|| would just completely be ruined. BZ answered questions about the first game that shouldn't had been answered if you ask me. I much prefer the mystery it had. I also don't feel like we would get much of a good survival game out of it, rather a story driven game if they continue the BZ story.

[restive iris]

i want to know what happened to ryley

[restive iris]

exactly thats why the dlc or movie

[dreamy grove]

the first guys name was ryley?

[serene sparrow]

yes

[dreamy grove]

my life has been a lie

[serene sparrow]

ryleys last name is robinson tho

[restive iris]

https://tenor.com/view/jesus-frank-always-sunny-its-always-sunny-in-philadelphia-frank-reynolds-my-life-is-a-lie-gif-18215286

[serene sparrow]

r o b i n s o n

if subnautica 3 was both ryley and robin it could have a multiplayer feature

[restive iris]

personally though i would like subnautica 3 to be super tropical

i would like bright blue waters with pretty flowers, just extremely visually pleasing

[serene sparrow]

and pirahna

[restive iris]

with a jungle island with alien monkeys

[lean notch]

Lol alien monkeys

Yes please

[restive iris]

And rivers with pirahnas!

[serene sparrow]

sea monkeys

[dreamy grove]

yeah but isnt subnautica supposed to be a horror game tho

[lean notch]

No land monkeys

[lean notch]

The monkeys eat you

[agile viper]

Good idea

[restive iris]

sharks can exist aswell as the giant octopus at the bottom of the ocean

[serene sparrow]

the pirahnas are sized to be like reaper leviathans

[restive iris]

there is only one octopus and hes bigger than any leviathan

[lean notch]

Everything looms nice and cute but tries to eat you

[serene sparrow]

can you kill it tho?

[dreamy grove]

its kinda sad subnautica bz killed the reefback theory

[restive iris]

the story could be a private investigator searching for robin and ||architect|| and the last known location of her was near the tropics of the planet

[restive iris]

you can kill it, but thats a end game mission 😉

[serene sparrow]

robin says shell find her way back yet goes||to another planet entirely||

the end of bz contradicts the beginning

[agile viper]

Which theoty ?

[dreamy grove]

that the subnautica land is a giant reefback swimming along the void filled planet

[restive iris]

that the entire planet is just on a reefback

[agile viper]

Was this an actual theory
I thought this was just a joke

[lean notch]

No

[restive iris]

while i know subnautica is mainly water based i would also like to see maybe a survival in outer space aspect

[serene sparrow]

aliens

[lean notch]

Maybe it starts in space and then land somewhere on 4546b

[dreamy grove]

subnautica 3 : a woman and an alien that is 100 000 years old commit tax evasion on a networked alien planet

[agile viper]

In which way did Bz detroy the theory ?

[serene sparrow]

yee

[dreamy grove]

id play a game like that

[serene sparrow]

subnautica 3: B O A T

[restive iris]

its like being underwater but youre stranded in planet 4546b's atmosphere circling the planet and you have to maintain oxygen and make a spacesuit going from meteor and ship rubble to ship rubble to collect supplies

and there are space parasites and stuff idk

[wise granite]

on what version of unity does BZ run on?

[serene sparrow]

i feel like subnautica 3 should combine subs from both games, and not only drag the prawn suit through new generations of the game

[dreamy grove]

if the seamoth could have a fabricator inside it would be the best vehicle

or if you could repawn in it

[serene sparrow]

seatruck seamoth docking module

[lean notch]

Imagine respawning

[dreamy grove]

i tried to dock a seamoth in the seatruck thingy and it crashed my game

[restive iris]

its kind of difficult to do subnautica 3 cause i mean while they left bz on a ||cliffhanger|| its a cliffhanger that separates from the entire idea of subnautica altogether

[serene sparrow]

imagine dying than the animation is you waking up in your seamoth

and it was all a dream

[dreamy grove]

yeah that would be pretty funny

[deep kettle]

Plot twist, Robin destroys along with the Architects the entirety of Alterra and goes chilling afterwards on a sunny planet 👀

[serene sparrow]

plot twist, the planet explodes

[lean notch]

Riley just fell asleep while working as a janitor

[restive iris]

DLC im telling you, make it a first person shooter like DOOM and have her just destroy alterra

[deep kettle]

No please, if they turn Subnautica into a shooter I will refuse to buy it lol.

[restive iris]

Riley either is in a super high position in alterra or is in alterra jail so

[serene sparrow]

the ||precursor gun|| was never active, the ||aurora|| never crashed, it was all a dream

[agile viper]

Yes thats exactly what I thought too

[dreamy grove]

no the subnautica team has a hating for guns

[serene sparrow]

i bet they killed him

[agile viper]

Nice

[restive iris]

I kind of wish they gave us some logs about riley or something about him

i want to hear more about riley's story than robins...

[serene sparrow]

refer to here if you wanna know why the team is against guns

[agile viper]

I still would like Idea of Multiple Genres in a Game Universe

[deep kettle]

There are an incredible amount of games that combine genres.

[dreamy grove]

nah prolly kindapped him and put him in the sea emperor place to get information from him

[agile viper]

I mean Natural Selection 2 is in the Subnautica Universe

[serene sparrow]

he drowned himself prolly

[serene sparrow]

whats that

[dreamy grove]

ryley dies on earth at 90 yo him respawning at his base on 4546b; ah here we go again

[restive iris]

by guns i mean like ||lasers that the architect suit gives at the end of the bz||

[agile viper]

A game from Unknown Worlds

Its a multiplayer Shooter with rts elements

[serene sparrow]

i think ||the architects are for the most part against violence except for their guns||

[restive iris]

Multiplayer game of subnautica where you and everyone else in the first subnautica map are aurora crashed lifepod survivors

[serene sparrow]

you fight it out with survival knives

[deep kettle]

are against violence - but lets just shoot down this massive ship and kill plenty of people in doing so.

[restive iris]

You can customize yourself and canonically you eventually die

[serene sparrow]

i said for the most part, not 100%

you can buff out the ||aurora|| scratches

just needs a new paint job

[agile viper]

Battle Royale

[restive iris]

Subnautica: Multiplayer its set during the aurora crash and your lifepods get launched further away across the void from where the first subnautica game was set. Not set in the BZ map but a entirely new map and it could be like Rust but subnautica

[serene sparrow]

when

when the

i want subnautica 3 to be set in the degasi

[dreamy grove]

would be nicew

[zealous beacon]

You mean you want to die in the crash and not see the planet?

[serene sparrow]

like

after the degasi crash and be the sick guy

its possible that the degasi had survivors

[zealous beacon]

It had 3.

[serene sparrow]

its literally evident in the bases

[dreamy grove]

margerrite survived the degassi

[restive iris]

all im saying is that this got potential

[dreamy grove]

or wasnt she in the mission

[zealous beacon]

And Torgal was even stated in the PDA entries as running with skeleton crews, so he had as few people as possible.

[deep kettle]

Lets pull a Marguerite and say Bart and Paul survived together and floated somewhere to a different place on the planet xD

[restive iris]

marguerite is one of the most badass characters in videog*mes

idk if i can say that word here :/

[agile viper]

Btw did you guys enjoy the Below Zero Soundtrack ?

[zealous beacon]

No, you are not allowed to say videogames. 😄

[dreamy grove]

nah

[deep kettle]

I disagree, she was one the least favourite parts of the game for me. In the end all she is a simple side mission.

[restive iris]

no i mean her logs

[zealous beacon]

She isn't badass for what she does for YOU. She is badass because she killed a reaper, WITHOUT a stasis rifle, or Prawn suit.

[agile viper]

You dont even need her two complete the Game

[restive iris]

she shouldve been more involved in the bz story but LOGWISE she is amazing

[restive iris]

||an swam across the f-ing void with only surviving on the corpse of the reaper||

[dreamy grove]

nah she seems like a grumpy grandma

[zealous beacon]

Most players who boast about killing leviathans use the prawn suit, or run the thing over with their seatruck, or in the first game the stasis rifle and knife spam.
Marg did it with JUST a knife.

[deep kettle]

Wasn't it a piece of metal?

[zealous beacon]

And the thing's skull is mounted on her wall.

[lean notch]

It was a piece of metal

[zealous beacon]

Close enough for government work.

[restive iris]

that doesnt sound like the subnautica 1 logs

[lean notch]

And she probably just stuck it in its head she didn't have to slice 500 times

[dreamy grove]

on one of my subnautica runs a reaper followed me to the shallows and i had to delete that save

[zealous beacon]

In her grumpy grandma defense, she is probably NOT exactly young.
Degasi to Aurora was already 10 years, and she has been around at least that long, plus the gap from Aurora to Sector Zero.

[restive iris]

not only did she kill a reaper she also killed a chelicerate

[zealous beacon]

And uses its mandible as a weapon on her custom prawn.

[lean notch]

Speaking freely voice log is still the best voice log

[restive iris]

you know whatever subnautica 3 is im fine with it aslong as there is A BIGGER leviathan than the last

[lean notch]

And more of them

Like at least 10 different ones and like 10 of each

[dreamy grove]

its doesnt need to be bigger it need to be very op

[restive iris]

make killing these giant scary leviathans a norm for the mid-game

like you need to collect their bodyfat or teeth

[zealous beacon]

Also: Sam's project was called Avian AMPHIBIAN whatever.
The final product can't work underwater.

[deep kettle]

Subnautica is not about killing creatures, they won't and shouldn't make that a feature.

[restive iris]

and i want a prawn suit upgrade of marguirites prawn

[dreamy grove]

in subnautica and subnautica bz you can just walk past all leviathans and they wont do that much dmg

[restive iris]

disagree about the first game

[dreamy grove]

death run mod did the leviathans justice

[dreamy grove]

well sea dragon is very dangerous

[lean notch]

No it isn't lmao

[restive iris]

i actually like that idea, BZ added more crustacean like aliens how about more amphibious aliens

[lean notch]

The only Levi that was actually a bit dangerous was reaper

[deep kettle]

I'm glad they didn't buff the ||Shadow|| leviathan though. You just can't sneak past it.

[restive iris]

Subnautica 3: Set in a swamp biome

[lean notch]

The other leviathans do 10-15 damage to prawn suit.

[zealous beacon]

It wasn't an idea. I was pointing out that her project started out as supposedly able to go in water, and ended up not.

[restive iris]

no its an idea now i like it

[lean notch]

I killed one on accident

[dreamy grove]

you can and if it somehow catches you it does like 30 dmg

[lean notch]

Spy penglin is garbage

[dreamy grove]

you just have to be sneaky-ish

[zealous beacon]

Frankly, if we get a third game, I say set it on a coast, with a very abrupt sea shelf on one side, and a scorching desert on the other.

[dreamy grove]

range increase would make it 100x better

[deep kettle]

The agro range on shadow leviathans is enormous.

[lean notch]

Yeah it's alterra tech idk why its so crap

[restive iris]

and speed

[dreamy grove]

yes

[zealous beacon]

Maybe Sam wasn't that good at her job.

[restive iris]

wasnt it invented by sam?

[lean notch]

Its more like a children's toy now

Yes but Sam is alterra

Was

She had access to alterra stuff anyways

[zealous beacon]

Actually, now that I think about that, that is a plot hole.
Marg complains about the spy pengwings, and there is a wrecked one next to her base.
If they didn't work underwater, why would there be one THERE?

[dreamy grove]

you know a company is bad when the janitor can do something that a top tier sciencetist cant

[restive iris]

||didnt sam go and meet marg at her greenhouse?||

[zealous beacon]

First game: Seamoth can't reach the sea dragon, so let's cut the sea dragon attack animation.
Second game: No other predators exist in the same biome as the shadow leviathan. Let's make it aggro on them anyway.

Though thinking of comparisons between the two, just made me imagine: Seatruck Nuclear Module. Keep the whole rig powered for sure.

[dreamy grove]

yeah

[zealous beacon]

I mean, there was a mod for the first game that added a nuke reactor for the cyclops.

[dreamy grove]

moonpool has no use in the second game

[serene sparrow]

except charging the seatruck

[dreamy grove]

no

[serene sparrow]

yes

[dreamy grove]

you can just use charger or recyclatron

[serene sparrow]

ok but thats too much effort

[dreamy grove]

and you can get batteries while using the seatruck

[zealous beacon]

And the upgrades can be built at the fabricator, so no need for the console in it either.

[lean notch]

It's so stupid you can craft upgrades with normal fabricator

[restive iris]

thats basically like saying cars have no use cause you can just walk 200 miles to work

[dreamy grove]

connecting and deconnecting modules 50 times per day is also annoying

[lean notch]

It makes it so there's no reason to make a vehicle upgrade console

[serene sparrow]

i have no modules yet

so ha

[zealous beacon]

Actually, its more like saying you can stop to buy gas while driving your car.

[dreamy grove]

its like having infinite battery for a tesla

[serene sparrow]

solar power

we should be able to attatch solar panels to the modules

[zealous beacon]

Honestly, I don't bother with the modules. If I use either vehicle, its for a quick mission, then I go home.

[dreamy grove]

yeah '

thats the best use

[serene sparrow]

fabricator module is just mini storage

[restive iris]

i think the moonpool looks cool, its quicker access to your base you can customize your ships and its just easier

[dreamy grove]

it was rlly good in the first game

[serene sparrow]

exactly

[restive iris]

but fabricator shouldnt of been able to craft upgrades like why is it like that

[serene sparrow]

id rather be able to rename and recolor my seatruck

just for those little pleasures

[restive iris]

like at the most maybe you could have the modication fabricator craft upgrades but

its too easy of access

[serene sparrow]

why is finding diamonds so hard now

[dreamy grove]

it isnt at all

[restive iris]

Wdym dude have you gone in a cave?

[dreamy grove]

i have more diamonds than titanium

[serene sparrow]

nope

[zealous beacon]

On the base building note, a bit of a fun placement that works:
If you build a foundation at the surface, so you can have a garden in open air, you can place a tube with an end toward it, and one level below it, with a hatch on top. If the game decides to play nice, you can exit your base from that hatch, facing onto your garden platform and able to just walk onto it.

[serene sparrow]

which outcrops do i need to break

[dreamy grove]

just go in deep twisty bridges and you will have enough for the entire game

[restive iris]

I wish you could destruct foundations

[lean notch]

I had multiple lockers full of titanium ingots by the time I finished the game

[zealous beacon]

The issue is, getting the right direction for the tube and hatch, to control which way you face on exit.

[serene sparrow]

what if there was a subnautica game but on land

[zealous beacon]

It would be neither sub, nor nautica.

[lean notch]

You can, If you remove everything on top of them

[serene sparrow]

like, maybe as a name: geologica

[restive iris]

i found out yesterday that you can put a hatch at the top of your tube and i love it

[restive iris]

thats so cringe

[zealous beacon]

And I think they call it Rust, or The Forest... or whatever.

[dreamy grove]

:insert african guy from tiktok here:

[lean notch]

I mean it doesn't make sense you can just put a foundation underneath an already built compartment/room

[serene sparrow]

deep lore: reaper leviathan just wants to know if you have any games on your phone

[zealous beacon]

I would go so far as to say, it doesn't make sense for a foundation to use LEAD. That is a weak metal.

[dreamy grove]

or pda

[serene sparrow]

it attacks because it wants your phone/pda

[lean notch]

It should use lithium and Titanium like reinforcements

[serene sparrow]

same with checilerate maybe

[restive iris]

i want a silent leviathan attack

[lean notch]

In a pitch black biome

[restive iris]

like the trap plants but a giant one that grabs your prawn suit or seatruck

[serene sparrow]

not scientifically possible

shadow leviathan concept: invisibility

it would make it more shadowey

[lean notch]

Well not totally silent but just not with roars

And screams

[restive iris]

unknown worlds just loves them their roars and screeches

[serene sparrow]

shadow leviathan doesnt roar i think

[restive iris]

it screams

[serene sparrow]

idk never encountered one

[restive iris]

neither have i

but ive seen videos

[zealous beacon]

UW uses WEIRD sources to compile their creature sounds.

[serene sparrow]

shadow leviathan mouths look like you know whats for some reason (im sorry)

[zealous beacon]

If I remember right, the crabsquid from the first game was a combination of dolphin and squeaky screen door.

[restive iris]

look nothing scared me more than when i read the pda for reaper leviathans that they echo locate

[lean notch]

Lol

[restive iris]

after that everytime i heard a roar i got terrified and spinned all around searching my surroundings

[zealous beacon]

I built myself a base close enough to see and hear a reaper. Within a day, I wasn't scared of them anymore. I took up playing dodge reaper in my seamoth.

I don't play with the new leviathans.

[lean notch]

"If you hear it, it sees you"

[zealous beacon]

The chel is too fast, and the seatruck too slow, to try to get clever with it.

[lean notch]

I just completely ignore everything in bz

Just zap everything that touches me

[restive iris]

new leviathans disappointed me, especially after the amount of hostile big giant ones there were in the first one the second one has two

like the main leviathan you encounter a lot is a shrimp

[zealous beacon]

The first game had 3.

[lean notch]

yep

[lean notch]

But like 30 of them in total

How many does bz have? Like 8

[restive iris]

reaper, ghost, void ghost, dragon

[lean notch]

Well then bz has 3

[zealous beacon]

the 'void ghost' is just the adult ghost.

[restive iris]

void shrimp is void

to me

[lean notch]

Void shrimp, shrimp, & big snake worm shark crab spider

[restive iris]

oh wait youre right

I forgot land worms

[lean notch]

Ah ye but those suck

[zealous beacon]

Honestly, more leviathans would have been a waste. There is just not that much in BZ, with a lot of dead space, and it would be dumb to just throw extra leviathans in the gaps. It would make players think they were put there to guard something.

[lean notch]

They should've made the map bigger

[restive iris]

honestly there is too much dead space on land

[lean notch]

Like a 5x5km map

[restive iris]

it is massive its just so much is filled up by giant land masses of ice that lead nowhere but back through to eachother in like circles

[lean notch]

It's not massive

It's 2.5x2.5 i think

[restive iris]

then why is there so much god darn LAND

and why does it have no purpose but like one location AND THEN YOURE DONE WITH THE AREA

its just a giant maze for the sake of being a maze, it leads no where

[zealous beacon]

The thing is, making the map bigger would just make MORE dead space. There are a lot of sections with just sparse plants on the seabed, probably because they had no idea what to actually put there, and there was nothing relevant planned.

[restive iris]

holy crap theres light outside

[restive iris]

make the icebergs smaller

[zealous beacon]

Like every base ever built in a video game. Labyrinthine tunnels, puzzle locks... who the hell builds their home like that?

[lean notch]

Well then they should've just thought of more?

The map is really boring compared to the previous game imo

[restive iris]

true for a sequel the biodiversity seems very sparse, and i get thats probably because its an ice wasteland but like

wait hold on i have a question

[zealous beacon]

The first game was focused on the exploration.
The second game has two parallel stories that are the primary focus.

[restive iris]

Why do you freeze when you on land but then warm up when you jump into the freezing cold water

[zealous beacon]

Science, actually.

[lean notch]

Bz just seems way too rushed

[restive iris]

water is still colder than wind am i wrong?

[lean notch]

Like an unfinished project

[zealous beacon]

No, it is not colder, in fact. Our arctic waters are almost constantly around 28 degrees, on Earth.

Its still COLD, but its not colder than the air above.

[restive iris]

it seems like they had too many ideas and try to fit them all together and just didnt do it right, like i love the game its still a 7/10 but compared to the first one

[serene sparrow]

if you look up on the surface and get out of your seatruck it flings you into the air

[safe moth]

Reapers be like:

[restive iris]

they suddenly became popular after subnautica 1 and had soo many ideas they didnt know what to do

[lean notch]

I still enjoy playing the first game but I played bz once and the second time it just bored me

[zealous beacon]

So the waters of Sector Zero CAN be warmer than the air. You still shouldn't warm up like you're next to a fire just because you're taking a swim, but we can hand wave that by saying its the science of the suit you wear.

[serene sparrow]

ah yes

a suit with warming

also known as a jacket

[zealous beacon]

I mean, we have seabase hatches that don't allow the entire ocean into your base every time you open the door. I can imagine a wetsuit with a heating element.

[serene sparrow]

all hatches dont allow the entire ocean inside in subnautica

[lean notch]

Wetsuits already kinda warm you up

[zealous beacon]

And you don't fully warm up sitting still, you have to be swimming, so maybe it is powered by movement.

And just not good enough on land, where it is much colder than the water.

[lean notch]

Good luck opening a hatch a few kilometers under water

[serene sparrow]

alterra may be corrupt

[zealous beacon]

Good luck not being squished like a grape that deep too.

[serene sparrow]

but their science is op

atleast i assume alterra is corrupt

[restive iris]

they added a lot of land to bz but its boring land

[zealous beacon]

Heh. Just thought about the propulsion cannon... then the gravity gun from Half-Life 2... then thought what if this is the same universe, and the propulsion is just a later model, after earth has gotten back on its feet after the Combine again.

[restive iris]

only things you got to worry about are snow stalkers and worms and even they are pretty lame

[serene sparrow]

subnautica 3 should have a balance of land and ocean

[unkempt bronze]

Not corrupt. Greedy.

[zealous beacon]

It can be both.

[unkempt bronze]

Fair

[serene sparrow]

alterra is EA in the future

[zealous beacon]

Amazon.

EA sticks with games. Amazon is getting its hooks into other things.

[unkempt bronze]

Alterra

[lean notch]

Thom be lurking

[deep kettle]

I would never.

[restive iris]

amazon literally about to become alterra in the next few years dont @ me

[serene sparrow]

well EA doesnt really care about their players, and alterra didnt really care enough to send a rescue

[unkempt bronze]

Hey, as long as we get to play subnautica in real life I'm fine with that

[zealous beacon]

The last rescue mission they sent cost them a 1 billion credit ship.

[serene sparrow]

alterra be like “oh the big ship crashed? let them survive there and put them in debt”

[lean notch]

Eh

I think I'd rather not

[zealous beacon]

I wouldn't send another rescue ship to the same planet, for one person, either.

[serene sparrow]

if they ||charging 1 trillion credits when you come home|| i dont think their short on funds

well atleast dont put the poor man in crippling debt

[zealous beacon]

I would say he was fine, and probably put on the board like anyone else who has new tech alterra wants. Think about the ion technology developed from the alien stuff.

[serene sparrow]

ryley robinson, from zero to hero

[unkempt bronze]

Then back to zero

In terms of life savings

[serene sparrow]

from BELOW zero to hero

[zealous beacon]

Cuddlefish in a big aquarium in his apartment.

[serene sparrow]

you can technically take a cuddlefish with you

if you have it in your inventory

[zealous beacon]

Imagine any science mission sent to the crater, they don't even have to build a base to get started. Just move in to one of his.

[serene sparrow]

alterra could possible make a ship capable of surviving the void

[zealous beacon]

Cyclops sitting right there, ready for a crew to take up science survey missions in it.

[unkempt bronze]

Uh. Shouldn't we talk about this stuff in the regular subnautica channel

[serene sparrow]

moving back into below zero studf

what if shadow leviathans could camouflage

[zealous beacon]

Hell, Robin is in that same sort of boat. Crippling debt, front loaded this time.
But she has the potential of a lot of new alien hybrid tech, like the recyclotron and quantum locker, to sell them.

[safe moth]

gg

[serene sparrow]

ez

(im sorry)

[safe moth]

22 hours 19 minutes and a lot of wiki and youtube

[serene sparrow]

howd you complete the game in under a day amount of time

[unkempt bronze]

cough I somehow did it in 4 hours

[serene sparrow]

i feel stuck

[lean notch]

I did it in 18 hours

[serene sparrow]

im in the part of the story after visiting ||margurietes base|| (i still cant spell her name), and i dont know what to do next

[lean notch]

Lel

[safe moth]

Which one?

[lean notch]

She gave you a mission

[serene sparrow]

the underwater one

[lean notch]

You have to go do it

[serene sparrow]

whats the mission

[safe moth]

Get the ||parallel processing unit fragments|| from ||mercury 2 wrecks||

and craft the ||test override module|| to use it on the radar

[serene sparrow]

might just build a small base there them

[lean notch]

You gotta turn off the satellite tower

[serene sparrow]

do solar panels work down there or is it too deep?

[lean notch]

Down where

[serene sparrow]

in the place where all those squidsharks are

[lean notch]

They don't work in caves

[serene sparrow]

and where ||Marguerite|| is

like, at the surface of the caves and stuff

[lean notch]

They probably do work but they'll generate power pretty slow

[serene sparrow]

idk how to explain

i crafted an air bladder

[worldly mica]

why can i not put the noot fish in the aquarium?

[rustic spire]

How do you get the dialogue ||"PDA: This vehicle lets you zip around on snowy surfaces, just like they did back in the snowfox derby of 2342." ?||

I can't seem to get it

[eternal garnet]

yes, but main thing is it grabs fish

[eternal garnet]

I don't think I heard that one. maybe it's deleted

[mortal wren]

I asked this a while ago, apparently they're "too wide" to fit in aquariums

Made me mad as well, my aquarium would've gone perfect with them

[lean notch]

Noot noot

[steep sage]

hello

[broken badge]

Actually they’re predators that’s why they can’t go in aquariums

But everything is tame in containment

[stoic raptor]

hi

[tacit lichen]

Hi

[carmine bobcat]

im gonna die if dehydration my guys

[eternal garnet]

Dying in your truck is nearly painless. Unless hardcore.
A general tip: if you carry a beacon and die, it renames and drops. Very helpful

[worldly mica]

not me having a brute shark in my containment

[frigid depot]

I need help, how do I avoid the chelicerate

Where is it in the purple vents

[safe moth]

what are you using?

Seatruck?

[frigid depot]

I got attacked by it 3 times last time I went there

Yes seatruck

[safe moth]

There is a spawn point

use perimeter defense system

[frigid depot]

I’m at the edge of the volcano biome and I pretty much am in a straight line from the drop pod
