yes
Is the ugly green to the left of the green check point the volcanic area
yes
Ok thank you this helps a ton
Up-to-date interactive Subnautica and Subnautica: Below Zero map of biomes, resources, lifepods, wrecks and all the other points of interests and collectibles.
What that?
Haven’t seen any levitations when I’ve been going around aside from the few in the crystal caverns.
Ur lucky then
There’s two chelicerates in the purple vents
i miss the reaper leviathan but te shadow one is cool too
If cool by you mean creepy then yes, the reaper was less creepy to say
The shadow levitation for some reason reminds me of a leach but way more dangerous and creepy
Not for me
I don't find anything about shadow creepy or scary
shadow sadface
Same here, not creepy once ya get use to it, and it’s not really that bad compared to the reapers from before
Reapers still jump scare me at times
They're cute tho
shadow cries, cute wasn't in the job description
Well if ya invisible to the things there more like a overgrown pest,
im in the glacial basin, in the stalacmite cave, and i cant find phi robotics, any ehlp?
Is that the cave with the artifact?
not sure what cave that is. But it's straight west from the dock with the tower
I think you have to go on the land on the other side and then you get the beacon
Z13 artifact probably
i found the frozen leviathan
Anyone know a guide on speedrunning ?
is that it?
The speedrunning discord server has plenty.
frozen levi is at the south-west end of the map. Phi is north-east
Can you send a link please
Sure in DM.
Look on your alterra facility map
how do i find that
oh
so im in the enterance that you get in from going under the iceberg
where do i go from there
where are you trying to go?
don't miss there are 2 floors
i killed a ||shadow leviathan||
With a prawn suit?
with a limp peeper
aww man i cant put a noot fish in an aquarium 😦
Yeah I was dissapointed when I tried that too
you can only put them in alien containments
I'm trying so hard to not watch any guide but it seems impossible
I have no leads and I can't seem to progress
Someone give me a hint on how to find the habitat builder 
easiest but not closest: outside the door of delta base
There's also a small base with just a single compartment in the twisty bridges
yes, that's at 120m depth
Is it good or bad idea to use a lot of ||ion cubes to make ion power cells|| for my Seatruck and PRAWN suit? 🧐
||There are a total of 4 large ion cube deposits in the arctic spires so you won't run out, at least once you get those.||
What is delta base? Is it the place where you find Sam's bed?
no, it's on the island. The only island before you ask
haven't found? it's to the south, hard to miss
The one where you encounter the woman in the Prawnsuit?
yes. Again, the only island. On top of it, a base
But wait that island only had 2 habitats and that radio thing
yes. And go back to my first statement now
Thanks man really appreciate it
BTW, what is Thermos used for?
You put it in a coffee machine and it will put coffee in it, it will warm you up when you drink it
Ah thanks thats cool
no, that's warm!
yeah smh my head
Guys I built one of those ||spy penglings|| and I put it underwater and it broke, how can I fix it? I didn't even get to control it for 1 second
it is not waterproof. Build another
BRO
it isn't expensive
it is for me
But it goes on land, k?
the alternative is to load a save
4 things come to mind
Cave goodies. One cave plot device. Grab fur from something. And selfie cam.
Speaking of fur I have the suit fragment but where on earth do I find that fur?
Probably in one of their caves, I haven’t checked yet though
I literally nearly told you where
you can also find it in some caves, but where? This is harder
Which direction would that be from the || delta base island || ???
what? Just use pengling
Oh that’s pretty cool, I really need to get building one of the spy penglings
No I meant where do you find those Stalker things with fur
On the main landmass
many, many places, especially when you are busy with other things
West from the twisty bridges
If you're at delta you can go west and then follow the ice wall north
west. West of most things.
I just explored, idk anything about the locations (im on ps4 BTW)
we put names on things, it helps. The game does too
I think I got it from the ||phi robotics||
Glacial basin is the ice area south of the bridge
Well it's near there
north of the bridge we call it something else
The snow stalkers
Oof man, this one is a lot harder than Sub1
noe. it isn't
OH WAIT I know the bridge now
that's a common complaint, that it's too easy
those are easy 
for example, deep twisty bridges
We have a problem
How do I figure out the names ???
you saw an area with twisty coral bridges? That's it.
it is just south of your pod
Thermal Vents and Purple Vents have plenty of lithium, you've gone through thermal spires if you've been to delta
I been to the floating rocks too
I was trying to get to the pilot's last known position but it was too deep and there were alotta monsters
Floating islands would be Lilypad Islands
Pardon me BTW I legit got the game today
squid sharks can't really harm you unless you exit your sea truck
once i went outside of my || lily pad islands|| base and one swam up and grabbed me.
the squi sharks only really patrol the seafloor but sometimes they swim up
like once i left my prawn suit parked on the roof of my ||lilypad islands|| base and squid sharks kept swiming towards it and attacking it and flooding my base.
Also almost destroyed my prawn suit but I moved it underneath my base so they couldn't attack it
My base was built on one of the floating big rocks suspended by the lilypads so they didn't normally come up that far.
If you can dodge fast enough you might be able to knife them all down
Hold a flare. Problem gone. Don't toss it
Flare might work but with this brand new knife that will cook your food for you, you can just knife them and it will be more amusing
Knife knife knife them
you really don't need to kill them
The goal is to dodge fast enough to avoid taking damage
But... Fun
yes. They very scared of your powerful magic
get down, pet a baby one (important), then push them away
pet it!
no, I just want you to see the cool animation
fine, pet one later
i dont like killing the subnautica animals :((
if ur gonna fight them save before u do it
so if u die quit and reload
It was possibly the best activity I had in the game
no.
I died of either starvation or dehydration
oh
What dyou mean by no
The only other fun moment I had was spidermaning with the prawn
have u completed the game?
Did say I classed them as the best activity for me
Yes
Learning the story I don't class it as an activity since I just read/ listen/ watch to created content
I basically just looked for the building left behind and collected 54 ion cubes
Collected a total of 48 hours on the game
are there warpers in below zero?
No
hey if you die with vehical upgrades do you lose them
If your vehicle dies...yes. 😦
no if its in your inventory
bcs i climbed above the wall behind the starting location and fell throught the floor
I see...from what I have experienced...you can drop items if you die...but that may just be limited to ore, seeds, and beacons
I can confirm ore and beacons.
okok so i can commit die and only lose my prawn then
I believe so, yes.
ok
Softlocking with the prawn suit is awful...I did it twice.
ok but i assu,e i went in the wring way
2 vehicles or on foot.
FOr me it was prawn suit or on foot. The other vehicle I found useless
hmm
Can't tell if what you loose is randomly selected from what you collected after leaving a base or from specific item
are you even supposed to climb the wall?
Hahaha, no.
Awww
But it is nice to think you can.
my curiosity killed me
Same
wth a sea monkey gave me the exact thing i needed to make another prawn
these guys are legends
Creepy legendary THIEVES!
they stole my scanner once and then i killed it and every other monkey learned to respect me
At some point in the game they help
bruh
Oh oh oh...if you want to TRULY be mean...hatch one and put it in the bioreactor >:3
Not so helpful NOW are you seamonkey?!
What is worse for the fish, being placed alive inside a bioreactor or cooked alive with what seems to be a laser
oh yea is there anything in the crystal purple cave place with the black leviathan?
Unfortunately, yes.
Killed him, he was annoying
I cannot understate my LOATHING for that place.
Those I lost a prawn suit to those things.
One or two lost their life to my prawn suit
haha the loading screen spoiled me on the creature but i thought it was so much bigger so i assumed that i wont see it as long as i was in a smaller area
swam right next to me and gave me a hug and a heart attack simultaneously
what
Good luck. :3
istg if what i saw was a JUVENILE
There is no adult nearby then
THat was quick. 😄
Yeah there was a scam like that on the FCS server and it took hours to be removed
Question, are they planning on fixing the PDA voice bug?
what PDA voice bug
Personal logs and/or other things that contain voice stuff does not play.
They're all silent.
hmm, restart the game maybe?
I killed one shadow leviathan at the crystal caverns entrance
will it respawn?
I believe not
nice
If my math is right, I currently have 1000 titanium in ingot form that I've drilled for my late game survival base. I've got 4 full standing lockers of ingots and a little extra in another locker
idk why I got so much I'm not going to use it all
woah
After yea. So far I’m not as scared of the creatures
Except the ice worm…
fuzzy, the ice worm is a lot more manageable in a prawn than the snowfox. just sayin'.
honestly, the snowfox is bad. at least for me. the prawn can get everywhere the fox can, most of the time faster, and ice worms are a lot less annoying.
i literally only made the snowfox for the trophy
fair enough
i used it for a bit and it sucked
same
Actually
it's so fragile
Snowfox kinda helps me bc im lazy
almost broke it 3 times going through the spires
And its fast so
I used jump module and dint get attacked once
it's annoying to get off and repair it
especially at the spires
Eh me exploring with prawn suit does seem more comfortable tho
Also the snowfox battery is trash
worms are supposed to be attracted to vibrations, but the fox doesn't even touch the ground 
i replaced it with ion and it still is trash :*
Yea
Maybe theyre attracted to electromagnetic waves?
The propellors give off electric effects
So id assume they give off electricity
and i get less attacks in the prawn, which stomps around so hard that it practically creates new tectonic plates
i just used the prawn to explore on land
i am here to helpm any questions
from the wiki:
The Ice Worm is an aggressive leviathan class fauna species that burrows beneath the surface of the ice. They appear to be ambush predators, drawn towards vibrations above them. Ice Worms are exclusively subterranean creatures and do not swim.
Long story short prawn suit superior
seatruck > prawn
more durable and power lasts longer
Prawn actually has more functions than seatruck
seatruck much better for exploring
i also got the snowfox after the prawn
I never made snowfox
Tbh i would recycle it
Lol
Kinda convenient u can pick it up to recycle it
you scrape the snowfox on the wall and a quarter of its health is gone
I dropped my snowfox and it was at 75 health
and then immediately recycle it
Then recycle it
Yessssssssssssssssssssssssss
And deconstruct the hover pad
yes.
Sure seems normal
||When I assemble the architect is that the end of the game?||
no, go to the beacon he gives you
subnautica functioning as normal
anyone know why my base is so, like, bloomy shiny, idk the word, its so bright all of a sudden, it was normal before
it's noon.
it wasnt this bright before at noon
you must craft ray-ban
thats a nightmare
YES
This message keeps appearing on the screen. It does not stop and basically started while randomly driving trough the sea. It is the "all systems online" notification.
Possibly you left the scanner room on
Ready for my next assignment
It's a power hog, but only when scanning
How do you raise infiltration level?
You have to blend in with the pengwings
Does that actually work?
You then go up close to them to raise companionship
or is it UI decoration
I think it's just decoration
I wish i had a waterproof model
But nooo alterra couldn't let sam do that
To do what though? 😛
for one thing, to not explode
The spy Pengling pda says sam was working on a waterproof version before she got exiled
Yeah but what would you do with an underwater spy penguin?
Maybe there could be underwater caves or maybe you could use them to get into the pengwings nesting grounds
Scanner is off, energy at max and my base is completly intact
Thats really annoying
restart game
I just started it
This started happening like a month ago, I hoped that this would be fixed by now
I was like 2000m away from my base just exploring when it started giving me those notifications
Maybe if I try to intentionally destroy my base it will stop
intresting
It is
That's how base integrity and also power works. Nearby structures are the same base. You can tell by how pieces snap to position, if "nearby"
If not nearby, you have free placement, and no power
how do you mark things as a spoiler again
select text, click eye. Or double | marks around it
ty
Was I spoiling something?
I wish it didnt had so many bugs
same
i got one where i couldnt exit my sea truch
truck
it just left my camera inside the drivers seat
i could swim
just couldnt see where
||I lost my maxed prawn in the the alien base at 1400m|| I could enter the room but not exit it
damn
Thats a very common bug that happend plenty of times to me. If you enter a new area and it does not fully load you can swim on land and walk underwater
dang
And because you arent allowed to enter that room with your prawn, it locks you there when fully loaded
Playstation?
Yes
is it only me or the|| shadow leviathan|| is much better than all the other ones in below zero
happens on pc too sometimes
Yea that bug is also plenty of times in #🐞bug-smash
But its so easy to trigger while also being quite a big problem that it becomes very annoying
Deconstructed everything that gave power so I had 0, rebuild nothing changed
anyone know the ids for the jukebox disks?
after i make habitat builder
Yea I tried that too with my empty battery xD
Is there a way to disable those notifications? On PS4 ofc
im pretty sure it worked in the original subnautica i guess it makes sense why they removed it
yes
it was very useful
Just deconstructed my whole base only to see that the game still tells me that my base is working fine now.
Deep twisties.
thx
You can find diamonds easyly: ||where those blue long coral bridges are, there is a hole where you can dive deeper, around 200-300m is a new biome with lots of diamondd||
That biome is called the Deep Twisty Bridges or as Tuna just called it 'Deep twisties' 😉
Yea I know, but for someone who doesnt know the names of the biomes, a description is more useful
i call it the seatrain
That's a lot of big rooms
i found phi robhotics and got the snowfox
and also where i get propulsion cannon fragments
I use the Fabricator, sleeper and docking modules
Aye guys someone explain me the ||hoverboard|| a little, and where can I build it, and its exterior like I only have to build it on land?
Phi Robotics for blueprints and yes only on land
I have the blueprints
Alright then thanks
Np ^^
Also where can I find Gel sack?
I'm not too sure
I been to many places and haven't seen it at all
I been to purple vents, idk what omega lab is
You'll find it in a cave in the lilypads
It's a biome
Where is it
Omega is the blue
Oof that looks far
Yeah
Fookin gel sacks I used to get them everywhere in Sub1
Better farm it when I get one
Alright thanks for the lead again
Guys i need help
I picked up the delta station beacon
So now i cant find the sfation
What do i do
i like how ||margurite|| was integrated as a character in below zero
sad i cant decorate my base with the stuff ||she has in hers||
Help
I'm in the lilypad places and I found a ||huge wreck of a giant space ship || yet HAVEN'T found a single gel sack
@carmine bobcat the station is S of the starting point
Its a huge island hard to miss
Gel sacks are in deep twisty bridges
Not really , but I think you can find it from S of the pod too
So go south, got it
Thank u, im gonna bring a beacon.
Deep twisty is near the sos signal
if you want gel sack i recommend looking at the bottom of the blue bridge place, but bring a mk1 depth module seatruck.
cool
Deep twisty bridged has them everywhere
they are a pain to find them there
Thank you, I found 1 in the lilypad place And farmed it
Someone tell me where magnetite at
deep lilypads for example. And in crevices and pengling caves in the glacial basin
Behind phi base building, in the cave
I know nothing about these places you just mentioned
I guess glacial basin is the way to go then
Two questions
1, how do I get into Mercury 2 ship (I assume the massive ship in the purple vents I’m at is that)
And 2, are there any leviathans guarding the ship
1, not sure which, but both large wrecks are entered on the cut off end, towards bottom. Or a doorway.
2. Not really
There aren't any leviathans guarding it, there are some SW of it
south-west
Oh I’m stupid 😂 I thought u meant something else
These big spikes dudes are so loud and so annoying
I got in thank you
||Idk if it’s just me but why is the Mercury ship so underwhelming there’s not much in it||
Maybe I’m just missing stuff
not sure what you were expecting
how do you farm it?
@eternal garnet do u know where the third parallel processing unit is
in cracks in icebergs with ores
in the wrecks. there are 3 wrecks
Ohhh
They are all Mercury II
I thought there was only one thanks
i thought there were only 2
You thought wrong
crabsquid
i touch enzyeme
i get stabbed by needle
i leave planet
epic music plays
you play wrong game
ok
ive seen some gameplay and dev streams it looks soooooo promising
Knife and plant the seeds lol
1 gel sack gives 3 seeds
You can also knife it twice, pick it up and replant it, and repeat
Its all the same result in a way
oh
yes
Does anyone have a voice recording of the PDA's message "||This vehicle lets you zip around on snowy surfaces, just like they did back in the snowfox derby of 2342.||"
I'm looking for it but I can't find it anywhere
I dont think I was supposed to find this
not really. that's the iceworm animation test area
.
Also it turns out if you put a Shadow Leviathan in the void, Void Chelicerates will attack it
ooh sounds fun
Its hard to determine who would win because if you are in the void to make a chelicerate spawn, more will spawn
So it ends up being a 3v1
So rn its impossible to make them have a fair fight
bc Void Chelicerates dont have a spawn ID
Make it a 3v3 then
can i use custom music on console jukebox
i have a whole sound system in the base i’m abt to cry
I mean you cant access the game files can you?
no clue
If you want to jailbreak your ps5, then yes.
seems worth it tbh
And we can't talk about that here ..
Why cry over that?
how do i do it
i just wanna listen to custom music man
i have like 10 speakers in here
Get a tutorial, I really don't care about playstation modding
We can't talk about that here
I'm pretty sure we are not allowed to discuss that here either :p
i didn’t bring it up why are u saying that to me
I just said it in general
yo mama
With No doubt, Ps5 jailbreak comes with lots of advantages. You will able to Play games for free, able to customize UI, Reformat code But you will lose a lot of features and services if you jailbreak it.
Here are some points that will help you to know what will happen if you jailbreak ps5.
You will not able to go online. Your Psn id will be banned instantly.
You will not able to access PlayStation Store.
Your warranty will be void.
You will not able to play Multiplayer games.
That's all you need to know.
Now shoo, get a tutorial if you think it is worth it
ok thx i appreciate have a good day
ok bro we understand💀
No problem.
It was a bloodbath. Notice my legs at the arrow. I am not big
Who won?
Big shrimps
Nobody died, the shadows ran off
If you don't have a PC, graphics cards are in short supply and super expensive
i could sell my ps5 for around 700 and buy like a rly good graphics card
so should i wait it out
until they go down
Depends. I doubt they'll go down due to the bitcoin farms.
pain
what how?
Do you still fall through the terrain in bz alot
not on pc
Place a desk in front of a hatch and go through it, then when you try to go forward it will move you halfway out of the corridor. Place a seat on top and sit on it, then get out of it. You will be outside of a base but the game will treat you as if you are inside of one
thats game changing
There's a video on reddit somewhere, that's where I got it from
lemme see if I can find it
Hey I got a question
Yes?
Do you know if there's the pda voice message "||This vehicle lets you zip around on snowy surfaces, just like they did back in the snowfox derby of 2342||" anywhere ? People keep referencing it but does it even still exist?
Try beta "ea 8.1". I don't know if it's there, but that's before lots of deletions
It wasn't in my voice log, and it would play when you make the snowfox I would think
yeah
now there's an entry for the hoverpad instead
but I keep looking around to find a recording of it
The Subnautica Wiki references it multiple times
Even Wikipedia too
Why do you want it so badly
Well knowing if it still exists could explain when Subnautica takes place
Well it obviously does since the wiki doesn't just make up pda stuff
well when I build a snowfox that message does not appear
It's not in the cut content section
I checked multiple places and it doesn't say when it was in the game
lemme see
you need to put a code:
belowzeroearlyaccess
oof its taking a while
? I download 2GB in like a minute 😝
uff
250Mbps
... possibly
well
Ok I checked
its not there :/
BZ#45203 by Andreas Urwalek: BZ-2831 - disable trophies in trial mode
Trial mode?
Playstation allows you to trial the game before purchasing it
Yes it is. You see the ghost reaper in the dead zone.
well, it's a different monster in BZ
So guys, is Subnautica 1 or 2 better? (Subjectively)
yes.
agreed
I'll put vote buttons on the question
Sorry for making a fuss, but I need to ask since I am at stressed state. I have some questions about achievement disable that occurs bcs of console command.
- From what I read Below Zero has a really unforgiving rule, that "If the console is opened and/or Console Commands are used, Achievements will be disabled permanently. " And I've been wondering if it means even accidental turning on console and closing without save counts still, since I am not sure if it is more tied to activating any cheats(sorry I am probably at that stage of grieve, since by one accidental missplace of a finger from 1 to f1 I might have ruined my game).
- Another question is whether it works per save file or it is global disable? Since if I lost opportunity to get achievements on my first playthrough, I might get it on another round. But if it is global ban, like per account, than I might have a problem...
1 it does say it disables on open. Though that's a little surprising.
2. It's saved in your save file, so it doesn't affect a new or older save
Clicking stuff in the F3 window probably taints your save too
That is sad 😔 I had so good playthrough. I avoided any spoilers and gameplays of Below Zero so I could have spoiler free first hand experience. I still have 0 deaths.
Hi.
- They're disabled when you use the first command.
- They are not global; it's only for that specific save file.
And achievements only stay disabled if you save after using commands. If you reload without saving, they'll re-enable.
I assume if I would use a command, not save, reload, it's not disabled
Correct. You'll still be able to earn achievements.
So could you not save while using commands and still get achievements?
no
achievements only stay disabled if you save after using commands
ty
commands set a cheat flag. This flag is saved into your save file when you save
it is never reset, in that save
whats ur fav mob in subnautica belowzero
Marge
||Vent Garden||
u can actually get a stasis rifle using console commands in sub2 but the textures will be all messed up
yes, but not on the worm
dumb iceworm
yes easy shadow leviathan kill
i can finally acess the fabricator caverns without getting stressed out of my brain or getting jumpscared by a shadow leviathan
perimeter defense is your best solution
i didnt know the seatruck perimeter defense can ward off leviathans
it is a good upgrade
also the chrysalicite looks like a salmon
or you drill the leviathans throat till it lets you go
as far as I know it is genuinely impossible to avoid the shadow leviathan
In the fabricator caverns
no you can kill the shadow leviathan with a stasis rifle
Yes but that isn’t avoiding it
... Wait, we are still talking in about Below Zero in Below Zero chatroom... So how is that different from a regular one? I am so confused already and it's not bcs it is 3am here. Given the fact in that stress I checked achievements on wiki(took spoilers, whatever now when I'm in the middle), for now I've done nothing that would make another achievement appear in untainted save file, so I might just as well wait till I do the thing(||probably I will fix that bridge, after I make a second base||).
Because people used it to kill leviathans.
i havent actually explored after the bridge too much yet
im scared of the iceworms so im only going across that bridge in my prawn
which is kind of a hack since it keeps u warm
so basically a prawn suit is like a heavy cold suit
snowfox also keeps you warm. However, the iceworm really hates it. Don't
Too good
same reason they took out cyclops
wait where do u find the last snowfox peice
one is in marges base other in psi robotics where the third
I've gone to end game biome before getting any guide to go there. Just bcs I knew how previous game worked(||deep = endgame||) And with fully upgraded Prawn named Pyke I went to explore this part. ||I had a glorious kill on that Shadow Leviathan it fell right before the entrance||
there has to be at least 8 strewn about in the snow
somewhere near stalkers
Sucks that you can’t go anywhere near as deep tho
snow stalkers?
No, these from crater... Yes
for snow stalkers, if you read your PDA, a flare is super effective. Don't throw it.
Below Zero max depth is 900 yet Subnautica max depth is 1400
wait... is there a snowfox in outpost zero i still need to check that place out
glacial basin. It's a huge ice land area
Its near phi
is is east or west of lilypads
oh. Psi is in the middle of it
Phi yes
They're just everywhere
Phi isn't in the middle of the basin
i dont need stalker fur cos i got my very own heavy mech cold suit (/spoiler my prawn suit)
aa hoe id that spoiler command not work
that's not how to spoiler
The cold suit is optional
how then
select some text, click the eye (on pc)
yes
HAH
XDDDDDDD
i already got bz
Why are they doing that
Im on ps4, how can i reset to a previous save?
Quit to the main menu and then open the save
I mean, by that i mean reverse to that save by deleting the ones afterward
I have more saves after that save
tough luck
Then you can't
aw
mrh
???
¿¿¿
anyone else kinda sad they didn’t put nearly as much big leviathans as the original
||hello||
how long does it take to give me the ||"out of mind" achievement, do i have to wait for the cutscene to end||
Has anyone here killed an ||Ice Worm Leviathan|| before? 🪱 🧐
Just finished subnautica below zero and gotta say its a pretty ending
It's literally impossible
what if subnautica had a laser sword
Then we would be living in an alternate reality where the views of the dev team is opposite what it is here
Then how much health does an ||ice worm|| have?
Idk exact numbers, I do recall Ignis saying that it wasn't possible. I believe since everytime they pop out it spawns one with full hp or something
And if you don't know Ignis they're a playtester that does lots of stuff with the game so I'm inclined to believe them
Ice Worms aren't creatures, from what my screwing around can tell. They seem to be closer to environmental hazards in terms of how they're coded from a game perspective.
You can't scan for them, and they get spawned near you unless you go into the safe zones.
On an unrelated note, I'm trying to find out why Alterra's gone from 4546B and can't find a reason. Have I missed anything explaining why they're gone?
Pardon?
Alterra isn't on 4546B in Below Zero. I'm trying to figure out why that is, and after finishing the story I still haven't the faintest idea.
I want to know if there's something I've missed that fills in the gaps of why they're gone.
I don't think Alterra's gone from the planet
They have to be.
They wouldn't allow us to fool around in Sector Zero if they were planetside.
I don't think anybody is allowing Robin to fool around
They have a satellite that knows there's two unidentified contacts in Sector Zero. There should be people checking on the situation, especially once it gets reset.
The only way that doesn't happen is if no one is nearby, which means they're gone from the planet.
I want to know why.
The only other alternative is that they don't care and are pulling a prank on us, which is ridiculous and a terrible way for a multi-quadrillion dollar company to act.
Well, this doesn't bode well for my figuring out where they are.
A lot of stuff in bz doesn't have an explanation behind it
...is that a good thing?
I will take the answer as it stands, then.
What is the last Log you can find from Sam ?
I am not sure if I have all.
Lilian mentions Alterra left in a hurry which is why Robin is likely able to still find some clues around places about Sam (something to that effect)
ok thanks
Doesn’t mean they might not ever return ig
They’ve got that satellite monitoring activity
yes thats true
The one we ||put in test mode|| lol
Who mad?
will this game ever go on sale
Is below zero better than the original i hear its smaller and worse
Smaller, but a lot more packed into it,
and only worse for those who don't get the point of it.
It's worth
I agree it’s worth, they’re just done a bit differently stylistically (BZ is more narrative adventure but still great)
oh yes the classic prawn sucking ||shadow leviathan||
According to all laws of game design,
there's no way a ||Shadow leviathan|| should be able to see you.
It's eyes can't see a kilometre through solid stone.
The ||Shadow leviathan|| of course, does it anyway, because ||shadow leviathans|| don't care what players think is impossible.
Yo I’m just made Alan a body pog
Soooooo i just started below zero, found the delta thing and some woman was in a prawn. what should i do? when i try to go to her location, i dont have enough oxygen to get there.
you can get close enought with the first depth upgrade. And rebreather. There's o2 along the way and where she is
i just started it
i only have a seaglide for transportation
so get those things first. Seatruck depth MK1, rebreather
ok i guess
where can i find prawn suit frags?
koppa mine, and the wreck in lilypads (west end), and outpost zero
whats koppa mine
thanks
find it in a hole with boxes and light sticks
just a question, how many drill arm frags are there in koppa mine?
also i found a big door, can i open it
You can't open any of the doors there, which is a bit disappointing D:
Also there are plenty of drill arm fragments in there.
reall?i only found one
Alright maybe "plenty" is an overstatement, but there should be enough in there that you can scan to get the blueprint.
I found 4 of them in a quick run.
pretty sure there are ribbon plants inside the ventgarden
no, but spiral plants. I can't remember ribbon plants, probably wrong game there
Accidentally mentions Artyom's day of birth is upon us
Don't mind me, just passing through
yes and near the pod
Weird. I feel the opposite
is it possible for bz to get more content from updates?
it's possible
Wait, what's the "point of it"? Isn't that just the story?
how long does below zero take to complete?
10 hours, if you're not messing around.
can be 30+ no problem
but i got all the achievements
10 if you need to go to the bathroom the whole time
You can definitely spend time in BZ. I have 41 hours in it, though that's having done two playthroughs.
238h, steam says
I already have 400 hrs on Xbox alone
I have like 50 i think
By the time I'm done, I'm sure I'll have around 45.
Yeah it’s not that hard to get that many
My save trying to 100% complete everything is a solid 20 hours. My save I had to cheat to get out of a wall was 20-ish.
Same, but I only had 8 hours original
Below zero is worth it, I feel kinda sad a lot of people just compare the surface to the original one, and immediately say: Levi not as scary and map smaller Bad game smhsmsh
I don't
I compare the story and the gameplay to the original and say "this story seems to be nonsense"
But monkeh stole ma scanner.
The story is actually quite good if you do the sister one before finishing Alan.
I did. It still doesn't make much sense.
I liked it but one time was enough
how is that even possible
Second time I got bored straight away
It technically does.
||You find your sister being killed by alterra, and finish what she wanted to do. This makes the "I don't have anything to go back to" line make sense as well. I think the story is quite nice.||
||But she killed herself. She could've just used the antidote robot instead of using the explosives.||
it was an accident
mhm
Correct. It doesn't excuse using explosives instead of the antidote.
it took me 8 hours to get the seamoth lol
can blame the smelly lady
One of those solves the problem, the other at worst annoys Alterra.
If you put it that way you could also say: Wait you used a seamoth but got a reapers attention in the first game? Well you could have just used the seaglide
No. What I mean is, she went through all the effort of making an antidote and stashing it away, and then instead of getting the antidote, putting it in the robot, and then putting that into the big boi, she got explosives to try to seal off the cave it was in. How does that solve the problem of big boi having a disease?
What? As far as I'm aware she wanted to cure the infection, then blow up the entrance. However alterra set up an staged accident to avoid her doing that.
Then why did she stash the antidote?
There's a PDA sound recording. It was not staged
yes, a little odd, not a big deal. Technically it's stashed to make you work to find it
Okay that's odd.
I know why that's been done. It's done so we can do it, but it makes the actions of a different character seem ridiculous.
oh no.
I still don’t fully understand the cave sequence myself
This is one aspect of the story that sticks out most, but it's definitely not my biggest problem with the story
That would probably go towards the character interactions
Maybe she wanted to hide her plan from alterra
I’m not sure, but I think ||sam went to stash the antidote first for safe keeping so no one would find it and destroy it, then she went to plant the explosives, but Parvan found out and she maybe..and this is more guess than anything…had to set them off prematurely to keep Parvan from maybe arresting her and Alterra stopping her so it was the lesser of the two evils to make that sacrifice to cut off access to the frozen leviathan, but I’m not sure about that||
maybe she just dropped it and it go boom
it takes a lot of ||nuttery to be a suicide bomber||
I think the antidote stash is a huge problem. It could have been solved at that moment with the robot, so unless Alterra have been pranking us and they harvested some bonus kharaa and left the robot there so that hypothetically if some future person showed up to try to find out what happened to their sister could think she solved the problem, I can't see why that was done.
She wasn’t ||suicidal|| imo I don’t think that was her plan
In her pda message she plans to go back home and do prosthetics to help people
She did potato's leg
What PDA message? I don't remember hearing that
It's not as bad as ||hiding a working phasegate on the planet||
many people miss the PDA, in the blue rubble next to the buried forklift
I mean I’d hide it from alterra too
Why wasn't it sabotaged?
They put a gun to stop all inbound and outbound travel, but didn't care about ||a giant gate that leads directly to their home planet on the infected planet?||
They didn't know about Alterra at that point.
I checked the wiki, it's from the "no turning back" entry
the phasegate probably needs some intergalactic password to be turned on
Which the Precursors have.
What's stopping one of them from turning it on and then leaving?
because precursors are a hivemind?
they all share the mental "network", imagine going thru the phasegate while there's like a million precursor voices inside your mind telling you to not
Which is a plot hole on it self lol.
Al-An continuously talks about being disconnected from his network, yet also says that they are all one.
can i get chelicerate eggs?
No.
Precursors: our mission to kill kharaa will succeed!
Al-an with a cool egg: observe.
Oh, good point, AL-AN shouldn't care about the sea dragon from the last game, because everyone else also agreed on the idea.
So it's not his fault.

i found a really weird bug
I'll note that down.
What's up?
But is it a plot hole? He can’t leave in his current stored state
Didn't he say he disobeyed direct orders from his network? 🤔
As in that he claims that all Architects are one, yet also says that they are not.
It's all fun and games until you hear diamond-coated anchors snapping
its really werid and i found it by accident, its just kinda werid
game being weird. noted
I think he means they share thoughts when they’re joined as part of the network
Though that does raise the question, how could he go against the collective without immediate reprimand
Yeah that's a bit odd.
agreed
So either he did it against their will and was allowed to or everyone agreed it was ok and it’s not his fault
It’s confused your animation state
i know, its ust kinda funny
Probably because you were switching so fast between inside and out
So either way the buck doesn’t stop with him.
i went through a monopool
This person also talks a lot about the story, it's a really good video although take this with a good amount of salt 😂
https://youtu.be/QUi_T1r1AwM
Why would I take it with a grain of salt?
If you watched it you'll know haha
I do wonder, maybe their connection isn’t immediate if there is great distance separating them. He was far from the home world, or maybe their core worlds, doing the research, maybe connection to the others wasn’t instantaneous when he made his decision to work on sea dragons. Lots of questions, possibilities unanswered really
It should've been explained, then.
I mean there are literally hundreds of loop holes in the story, I'm not too worried about it because otherwise I'll probably ruin the game for my self xD
We have hours of silence between two characters who could be talking about this stuff (especially since Robin's a "curious xenobiologist", allegedly)
Well imo that’s better than filling those hours with conversations that might be boring or seem contrived so I’m actually ok with it, I like exploring in silence a lot and enjoying the beauty
And some people look for the plot holes, maybe to ruin the game for themselves
What I would have liked is a more chatty Al-An during certain moments, but not during random gameplay in the game.
So the more noticeable / special moments.
Some of these, what you call “plot holes” don’t really relate to the mission ||Robin and Al-An are currently on, which is getting him into a body of his own and out of her mind, and ultimately finding his way home to see what’s happened there||
It’s more backstory imo
Would it be nice? Sure. But is it critical? Not to me
Correct. Most of them are related to worldbuilding and characters from prior to the story. If it's a detective whathappened style story, the answer makes no sense. As for why the world is the way it is, that also makes no sense. The characters act in ways their backstory implies they shouldn't (again, Robin asks zero questions of AL-AN).
I care about this because if I'm going to recommend a game to people, then I need to know why I'm recommending the game. With Subnautica, that was the story, gameplay, and soundtrack. With Below Zero, it's at most the gameplay, and that's tenuous. If the game was "ruined", it was done so by the writers, not myself, since I can only notice and piece together details created by the writers.
Hey guys, nice to be here. Just wanted to be sure (after checking out many of your messages for similar questions), i have a PS4 PRO with BZ but i cannot play it longer than 5 minutes. No matter what i do, it crashes after 5 mins (PS4 blue screen). Any possibility to get it working or need to wait for the next big patch?
maybe it's overheating
i don't think so, my ps4 is not even going up in terms of CPU fan. I'm wondering because i read other people telling they are playing for hours on their ps4.
yes, PS4 pro specifically too
I assume bluescreen requires reboot. if not, do that
I play for a while no crash yeah how far are you in the game
I thihnk he's 5 minutes in 🙂
I start a complete new game (no matter what type), then it takes about 5 mins. Once i was able to play nearly 10 mins (still near the crash zone). Then it crashes. No special action im doing, sometimes when walking around, or showing up inventory, collecting stuff.
Guys I got the || sea truck aquarium module|| , can I breed the fishes inside it or its totally useless??
@viscid sierra how do you do that thing that makes it show the ingredients for specific stuff??
It catches fish that swim into the side of it, afaik they can't breed
You left click the blueprint in the blueprint section of the pda or right click the item in the fabricator
I'm on ps4
Then idk lol.
thats...ughhh
Man you know how hard it is to get lithium
@carmine bobcat it will probably catch more fish before you need them
Not that hard
Also Lithium is all over purple vents
^^
Just stay in the undeep part
Those aren't that dangerous
Wait you're talking about the leviathans or the dinosaur duck things at delta island?
So? :P
Idk how to explain , I feel like I don't have the equipments and stuff, yet I'm progressing a lot story wise
I like to play chill but I just can't find the fragments and stuff
I have most Prawnsuit upgrades but haven't even found any prawn fragments
I can help if you want..
how so
Have you gone to all of the artifacts yet that you have signals for?
I only had a signal for one and I did
There is this signal that says "last pilot" thing idk, I went there and found nothing
Oh well if he only gave you one signal you're not that far in yet, more will come
I don't wanna progress story I WANT FRAGMENTS
Last pilots location is referring to the woman in the prawn suit
You find new areas with fragments by going to the artifacts
Ohhh
Makes sense
Also can I squeeze in my Seatruck to the ||kappa mining location?||
I accidentally found that too and it had a very deep hole
I think you some how can do that but then its very tricky to get it back out
Theres oxygen plants down there tho
How am I supposed to check up that hole?
What lava vents
You know there thermal spires, the smoking things around delta island?
There's cracks in the ground there where you can go through
Ah yes the biome with the crabs
Alright then shall explore more
Thanks for the informations
if you wanna see a cursed video of subnautice below zero join public voice chat
i think the red on is fabricator cave or sumthing
Tap x
In Glacial Basin
The frost acacia trees
Guys why cant I scan the exterior growbed
For some reason, some items just don't let you scan them in certain locations. I think it's because either you should have scanned by the time you discovered that place or it is too soon. There isn't always a clear answer. Sometimes, it's just #Subnautica.
yo I remember being so confused where I was supposed to go with that, it took me a hot like extra 5 hours to find it since I went to another area nearby and thought that where I was was "it", but it was in fact, not it
@stable orbit i think below zero needs another update
|is this hidden?|
no
nope
|| im dum ||
now its hidden
yea
what if they had dlc where
|| you play as margaret getting off the planet after robin ||
So what is "it"
the ping and the location its trying to lead you to
how i get propulsion cannon
lilypads monkey nests
am i the only one who prefers below zero over original?
Nope. I do too 👍
I like a lot of the mechanics and areas from Below Zero, but it's missing a bit of the feeling that made the original so special to me
does anyone know offhand how long it takes the Shadow Leviathan to respawn after it's killed?
I'm finally replaying bz
I just killed my first Shadow Leviathan. it took forever with the prawn suit
You can kill that thing? Sounds like it would take hours with a prawnie
yeah, you can kill it
I used a combo of punches and just grinding away on it with the drill arm
it also seemed to help that it appeared to be stuck on the rocky geography of the cave and was just stuck idling
they should really give everything more hit points
Agreed. Cryptosuchus literally dies at first hit by seatruck... I know it's supposed to be rather scarylooking than dangerous creature, but still...
Enjoy huh
