below-zero-chat

[bold monolith]

It goes deeper.

[carmine bobcat]

Yup

Restarting Steam seemed to have helped

Lost my entire game save so had to restart it all over but meh

[eternal garnet]

get the perimeter defense truck module

fire it just as it attacks. 100% effective

After doing that a couple of times, you should feel better

[misty nebula]

holy crap thats terrifying

[azure osprey]

they're not scary tbh

[misty nebula]

they are scarier than reapers im not gonna lie'

reapers look kind of odd but this thing looks like it will shred

[mental berry]

They do look scary, but are not that powerful. The Void chelicerate, however, it horrifying

[misty nebula]

guess im never going to the void

never planned to anyway

[mental berry]

Yeah, do not, the music is scary, the fauna is scary, and it is very dark

[misty nebula]

im tryna look for laser cutters but i cant find any blueprints

i found one in the mercury but thats it

[mental berry]

Don't know, most tools are hard to find

There might be some around seamonkey nests

Or in the twisty bridges

[misty nebula]

yeah i managed to find one in a seamonkey nest, i need 1 more

jack pot, thanks

[mental berry]

👍

[timber timber]

Hey can i have a challenege i just completed below zero i wanna do it again with challenge

@ me btw

[high matrix]

Anyone know where ||the fabrication facility|| iz at?

Aight, wjere are the fabrication caves?

[supple barn]

delta base

[vocal solar]

They dont hold to a path they do what they want

[supple barn]

shadow leviathans are the smaller and more aggresive cousin of sea dragon

[vocal solar]

They just want hugs

[cursive ledge]

do you have perimeter defense? if so, give them zap. it helps

[frosty plinth]

Where do you find the perimeter defense module

[supple barn]

im not 100% sure but i think its in the pilots base

[cursive ledge]

fair but just give it an old zap and it should go away

or at least give you enough time to escape

[wise mauve]

Can you beat it without the Habitat Builder?

[timber timber]

Can i build mod station tho?

[wise mauve]

I guess you need it so

[timber timber]

Bet

[wise mauve]

lmk how it went

[timber timber]

Imma dm u my progress

[hasty meadow]

What they said

[high matrix]

Are there multiple endingz to bz? I have a feeling therez an entire part of the game that i missed,,, i remember hearing tonz of mentionz about frozen leviathanz but never found one

[gentle pulsar]

why are you replacing s’ with zs?

[eternal garnet]

z bad. There are 3 storylines, one ending

Frozen guy is part of Sam's storyline

[high matrix]

Its a typing quirk, mostly because of me mixinf up s and z a lot and juzt sayinf "screw it, why not just be consistently dumb"

[high matrix]

Thanks!

Now i know that i should replay bz lol

[gentle pulsar]

ah

[eternal garnet]

You can do the other storylines after the end. There's no downside

[high matrix]

Aight

What are the other storylinez btw?

[eternal garnet]

Marge and Sam. Alan is the main storyline and this ends the game

[gentle pulsar]

why are the death animations so strange

[trail torrent]

i got bored of subnautica below zero is there anything fun i can do in that game

[trail torrent]

i thought those were all part of one storyline

[twin lava]

i don't think you need to do marg's story

idk tho maybe you do

[spice seal]

you don't have to do Sam's at all and ||Marg||'s is a part of Sam's

[supple barn]

how do i do sams? bc alans is finding the artifacts and that stuff so is sams just finding the clues

[spice seal]

Just look around on land in the Glacial Basin, that's where most of it is

[crisp flicker]

ya they do that

sea monkey nests

ultra high capacity 02 tank

no I know of 3/4 in the murcury 2

but I would go to the mine there are only rock punchers

ya lilly pad and purple vents

yes

[supple barn]

best energy source is penglings

[crisp flicker]

in the bioreactor?

[supple barn]

yes

[crisp flicker]

god those mama pengwins are gonna kill you

[spice seal]

wow what an original joke that I definitely haven't already heard once today

not edgy at all either

Penglings only provide 210 energy, less than Sybiotes, Spinefish, Hoopfish, Feather Fish, Young Cotton Anemones, Ribbon Plants, Preston's Delights, Gel Sacks, Red Feather Fish, Spinner Fish, Discus Fish, Noot Fish, Arrow Rays, Triops, and Arctic Peepers.
Penglings do not respawn, unlike other small fish. They also can't be farmed without you watching the tank to grab them before they grow up into adult Pengwings.

[supple barn]

actually i havent heard that before but the chance that its been said here is very likely so yes and no and no it not edgy

one of them

nope the bow which is like 300-500 away from that yes and koppa mining site

in that one no

do you need prawn suit accesories or prawn suit?

then mercury 2 bow is the way to go

the smaller circle is mercury 2 bow and bigger you can fnd grappling hook fragments

it should be fairly easy to find

[silver pasture]

Prawn suit?

Maybe go to the underground thing

Underground mine

Station Zero?

[supple barn]

just go couplle click west from south

jsut go to lilypad biome and when you see squidsharks you should be there

yes

just make sure you dont go to treespires there chelicerates there

yes maybe like 1,2 click more to west

then youre kinda close

you and i both are lost now

[gentle pulsar]

the picking up snow mechanic is cool, yet gets annoying with on land travel, and exploration

[supple barn]

okay easier way go to delta island and then idk watch from youtube

[shrewd harness]

Who needs help beating the game?

[gentle pulsar]

so im on land exploring

and this snake lava thing comes up

and back down

and i take damage

scary

[supple barn]

chelicerate scary

stupid too but scary

always find a way to come to my private space

[cursive ledge]

Wormy bois

[gentle pulsar]

Wording bro. Wording.

[supple barn]

i now realise what i have done but my point still stands those buggy boys always annoying me going through walls

[gentle pulsar]

😟

[supple barn]

giving me hard time getting the most uselless and pointless seatruck module

[gentle pulsar]

speaking of sea trucks, what names did you guys give them? Mine is ||”sea twuck uwu” please help.||

[supple barn]

sea truck

[gentle pulsar]

nice

[vocal solar]

Mine is Yeet. The Prawn is hulk

[gentle pulsar]

on my old subnautica one, i had deez, and then my prawn was nuts (it was also funny when you put nuts in the moonpool because of the name.)

[broken badge]

[vocal solar]

What do you expect?

Better than privat part names

[gilded lion]

So I built 4 thermal plants at a volcano (250 C), I did the math and this should be almost 20 power per second! I then built 3 water filtration machines but I found that I only had enough power for one. The game says that I’m only making 1.65 power per second. Why am I making less than I should?

[broken badge]

Names are no longer displayed by the moonpool probably for these reasons (names people gave vehicles)

[gentle pulsar]

its hilarious if you view yourself with the spy penguin surveillance camera

(You do a pose and it puts on a cool alterra border)

[broken badge]

Idk but you really only need 1 water filtration machine

They use a lot of power

[gilded lion]

Oh ok

I’m just confused because I should be making wayyy more than I am

[broken badge]

If you really insist on having that many water machines I’d go with nuclear power

[gilded lion]

Well one shohkd be enough ig, I just want the power I’m owed lmaoo

[sick pond]

Hey everyone

[broken badge]

Thermal Plant (Below Zero) | Subnautica Wiki | Fandom

https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Thermal_Plant_(Below_Zero)

[gilded lion]

Yeah, my math adds up. At 250C, I should be making 297 per minute per generator

[broken badge]

They can only store 250 units of energy at a time. You’re probably using it faster than it can be created

[gilded lion]

Ohhh I gotchu

Is there a way to build a battery or sonething lmao

[broken badge]

Whereas a nuclear rod stores 20k units of power each

All power production methods act as their own means of power storage (in a manner of speaking)

[gilded lion]

Yooo, I needed exactly one copper and I was just about to go get some when my sea monkey boi gives me one- best day ever

[broken badge]

So no, there aren’t “base batteries”

[gilded lion]

Yeah I had nuclear but I thought the thermal would be way better because of the maths

I can just rebuild the nuclear i guess :)

[carmine bobcat]

H

[gentle pulsar]

did i get tagged

[carmine bobcat]

Yes

But the bot warned me :v

[carmine bobcat]

Re:searcher or re:loader

Those are good names for the sea truck

[gentle pulsar]

seatwuck uwu

[carmine bobcat]

[gilded lion]

Hi, I’m back, this time for the math bois-
so a thermal plant can store up to 250 power. The equation for how much power they generate is C*1.32-33 per minute. Considering they can only hold 250 power, they aren’t very efficient for actual power as they create power faster than they store it. I want to figure out how much power they actually can use if you know what I mean. For context, I made 4 thermal plants at 250-251 C which should make 1188 power per minute or 19.8 power per second. Somehow, though, it could only give my base 1.65 power per second. Any advice on either how to fix this, or just the math? :)

[gentle pulsar]

how do i find the green house from the phi tech thingy bridge

[supple barn]

there is one prawn suit in front of the opening you need to go in to get the fragment for the radio tower thingy

i dont have a mic but i can try

[gentle pulsar]

in what compass direction is the mercury II bow from the delta station?

Subnautica tight rope

[gentle pulsar]

update: I didnt fall

Is the bow the one with the 2 parallel processing unit fragments?

[gentle pulsar]

Thank you

[gilded lion]

Yes, and even if only one was connected, that should still be 5 energy per second @sterile shadow

Yeah, exactly. Although, if it matters, I noticed that it actually generates power in increments of 3 or so, I’m not sure of the unit, but its probably 3 per second or tick

That’s a good idea. How does one do that lol?

[spice seal]

@plain blade

They're also spamming it in #subnautica-chat so twice the rule breakage

[plain blade]

got it, they're banned. ty

[carmine bobcat]

Thanks decoy

That was annoying

[sullen cairn]

I cant find the scanner module for the seatruck

also i cant get the seatruck storage to work

[next mantle]

you messed up mods?

[sullen cairn]

I understand but i was just asking for help

[next mantle]

maybe you need to scan things

i think some of the stuff unlock alongside vanilla stuff

[bold citrus]

What do i do at the first artifact?

[next mantle]

you scan it

[bold citrus]

Thats it?

[next mantle]

yes

[bold citrus]

Oh okay

[next mantle]

you scan artifacts to get alien recipes and eventually hint to architect components

[sullen cairn]

im in there

[next mantle]

yeah good point there

you would have to reload a certain file

theres some files you can remove and redownload to reload all the scanning piece spawns and such but i dont remember which

yeah, it can happen

didnt have it happen to me though

didnt have it happen to me though

[gilded lion]

Yo, I just have a random story related question- when does Below Zero take place? It’s obviously considerably after Subnautica but the mass evolution, complete change in alien society (are they the Warpers from Subnautica or sonething else?) and the massive climate shift suggests that it’s WAYYY past what makes sense. How does that time line work?

Wow, that’s crazy! How did so much change in such a short time? Was the huge explosion related to the ice age?

That’s better :)

Hmm interestinggg

Wowsas

[vocal solar]

A guess? Possibly Khraa beat her face in so she looks older

That or reaper fat dosent make you any younger

[vocal solar]

No its a diiferent area. Aritd vs tropical

[trail torrent]

where do you find diamonds

[gilded lion]

Oh wow different areas!

[gilded lion]

Volcanic areas I think have them. Just go into the delta station volcanos with a mineral detector

[vocal solar]

The crater is a tropical zone. Unconfirmed if the rest of the planet is artic or not

[vocal solar]

make monkey friends

[gilded lion]

Interessttinggg
And what about the other question? They seem like the same species considering the ion tech, but is there any evidence of this? (ALAN and Warpers)

[vocal solar]

Did you finish subnautica? dont want to spoil it

Thank you for motivation to finish

[gilded lion]

The first game, yes, but not Below Zero yet

[spice seal]

The rest of the world isn't arctic, we can see oceans from space at the end of the first game

[modern sedge]

does anyone know how the hell i can break those mandrake plants?

they keep stopping me from building

[vocal solar]

Lore wise warpers are constructs made to attack THINKING creatures infected with khraa. Not a bone shark but your bone headed self. Untill you are cured they attack you. You can visit the facility where they are made the arcitects created them to take simple commands and kill.

Not sarcasim I needed motivation. Allan gets booring after a bit. Ive been messing around with putting like 50 solar pannels on my base

[gilded lion]

Ohh I forgot that part- that’s awesome

[vocal solar]

So the arcitects BODY may be simular to the warpers due to simular orgins in body componets. However warpers arnt really.... A species

[gilded lion]

I see

[vocal solar]

Im serious dont be sorry I need motivation bro

Lately ive been an apathetic gamer at best

Subnautica started it when it ate my late game save. Now I just kinda... eh

[gilded lion]

If you want a game that makes you want to smash your entire Xbox, then burn down your house, try Hollow Knight.

[vocal solar]

I tried to get back to that point, Got an early cyclops and IT ATE MY SAVE AGAIN

I dont have an xbox one

I have my 360 and switch and its more system than I need

Well and vita and ds but do they count as systems?

[gilded lion]

If you want a game that makes you want to smash your Switch, then murder your neighbor’s best friend’s cousin’s extended family, try Hollow Knight.

[vocal solar]

I may check it out. My next game is legends of arce though

I want to see that, an open world pokemon game its supposed to be kinda like botw

[modern sedge]

is there a tool similar to the terraformer in below zero?

[spice seal]

no

[gilded lion]

That would be awesome. You go to gyms to collect badges and at the end fight like a mega meowth who betrayed Team Rocket

[modern sedge]

so theres no way to get rid of the annoying plants stopping me from extending my base?

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

[gilded lion]

Yeah that’s the worst- i’d recommend just moving it

[vocal solar]

Build up

I built mine up and I regret everything. But the top floor has a hella view

[gilded lion]

Mate, some day, I’ma venture to the top of the mountain and build an observatory

And a diving board

[vocal solar]

You know Robbin is supposed to get her closure and get tf off the planet. Instead she builds massive bases and makes alien friends

[modern sedge]

this is my first time playing below zero and im 5 hours in and decided to build my base in the twisty bridges cuz they looked cool and safe

little did i know i cant expand

[gilded lion]

Nooo

[vocal solar]

Actually...

I always build in twisty and my base is probaly bigger than 99% of people here

[modern sedge]

i put it in a corner above a cliff

surrouned by mandrake plants

[vocal solar]

I get all fancy and keep critters. Its fun to release squidsharks everywhere

[carmine bobcat]

I’m looking for the trivalve egg can can some one help me find it

[vocal solar]

Theres more than one. I need them all

[modern sedge]

its terrible

[gilded lion]

Wow thats… a base

Does anybody know if the mountain has solid ground on the top?

[modern sedge]

its cozy inside at least

[gilded lion]

lmao yeah

Ok, random end END GAME question, so I was just looking at the wiki because I don’t care about spoilers and I was looking into MAJOR ENDGAME SPOILER ||The architect phasegate. Does going through this with ALAN end the game, or can you keep going? Also, if it does end the game, will this also delete your save file or, once you complete the game, can you go back to your last save point and continue playing?||

[pure flower]

yeah, it will reload to your last save

[gilded lion]

oh good

[pure flower]

is it just me, or that game is way too easy?

[twin lava]

too easy in fact

[pure flower]

yeah

Is the game still in progress?

[spice seal]

no it was released

they wanted to make BZ easier for noobs

[pure flower]

yeah

[carmine bobcat]

Oh right language

[carmine bobcat]

My stupid butt thought this was an avengers endgame spoiler and clicked it 😭😭😭

[pure flower]

I was thinking, if I would have to recommend anyone the Subnautica series, I would recommend Below Zero before Subnautica

[carmine bobcat]

It might be easy but I still can’t find friggen silver 90% of the time

[pure flower]

i feel you

I can tell you where to look

[spice seal]

BZ takes place after Subnautica tho

[carmine bobcat]

Nah I’ll figure it out, this is one of those hames I just don’t want help on

[spice seal]

ig that means it doesn't make sense to have even made it easier than the og at all since it isn't the first game

[pure flower]

yes, but in BZ you learn about the Aurora, and like, you wonder about the infection and stuff, then, you go to the other game and you learn about what happened to the aurora and how the infection got spread and how you cured it, you learned about Margerita past, the Degasi survivors and a huge chunk of the story, you learn the origine of the posters you can collect. How cool is that?

but if you did Subnautica then BZ, you are like... well... this is lame... not that the game is boring, is it referching (no pun intended) to get a more story based, but... like... you know...

Below zero is filled with bugs tho

There was one, where I logged in, then all the loot in the chests, the Mercury II loots was reset, the PDA were back, like... cool i got to loot double the loot in the mercury, but this is still a bug

(I couldn't take the pda, they were there, but I couldn't take them twice)

[gentle pulsar]

hi

[pure flower]

hello

[bold citrus]

I got a question about a alien base

I dont wanna spoil anything so is there anyone i could dm?

[gilded lion]

@bold citrus You can just use ||spoiler tags||

[bold citrus]

Oh thanks

Question about an alien base: ||I found an alien base somewhere on an island, On the beginning of the island there was a base with pictures of a cat and had 2 prawn suits, When i walked past it i walked a long passage and came out at an alien base. Can i do something there? I walked there for 5m and found nothing ||

[pure flower]

||It just leads to a portal, i don't remember if it you can activate it or not ||

wait

wrong game?

so I am not wrong

[gentle pulsar]

me when i cant find greenhouse

https://tenor.com/view/crying-black-guy-meme-sad-gif-11746329

ive searched past the hydraulic fluid bridge for a while

couldn’t find it

[pure flower]

well

I found it by accident but you need to go to the edge of the map

spoiler tho

I got a map for ya

I found the greenhouse by accident, I was just looking for lithium I think

found the greenhouse, but no lithium lol

[gentle pulsar]

you tellin me i was on the wrong side of the earth 4546B⁉️⁉️😔😔

[pure flower]

ya

[gentle pulsar]

no wonder i couldn find it

[pure flower]

this is why I compared this game to Euro-truck simulator 2021

you are simply going from one side of the map, to the other side

[gentle pulsar]

I had this map

[pure flower]

yeah, the "greenhouse" on the top was an|| Architect ruin||

[gentle pulsar]

close your eyes if you dont want apoiler

[pure flower]

you know

[gentle pulsar]

dont look at the text its all a fake myth

[pure flower]

to mark as spoiler, you hold right click, then pass over the text, then left click, then click at the eye

before sending duh

[gentle pulsar]

||aketec ruen 😎||

[pure flower]

yes

[gentle pulsar]

im on mobile

[pure flower]

oof

[gentle pulsar]

😕😔

[pure flower]

anyway, good luck on that trucking

[gentle pulsar]

thanks 🙏

[supple barn]

im stuck in the ground...

[gentle pulsar]

rok and roll mcdonalds

[tepid axle]

Wondering if anyone has solutions for a long initial loading time? It's not crazy, but I think it's close to 10 minutes to load a save I started last night!

[gentle pulsar]

I found it!

[cloud rune]

No real solutions that we know of other that wait

[glad aurora]

what's the time difference between subnautica and below zero?

like how many years into the future

oh damn

it froze up completely in 2 years that's crazy

[supple barn]

it has been frozen alwyas

[glad aurora]

Ohhh

thanks

[supple barn]

sector zero and crater should be fairly close to each other like maybe 20-50 kilometers no idea jsut came up with that

||after finding out that sams dead and getting her necklace is there anything else to her story?||

[worn willow]

Ye

[supple barn]

ik i just write out of memory or something so the his is like automatic so i have to change and sometimes i jsut dont see it

ty

[frosty plinth]

What happened to the old story

Thanks for the link

[reef owl]

How do you get stalker fur

[carmine bobcat]

with the ||spy pengling||

you'll find one on the ||frozen leviathan sector||

[fickle sinew]

You can also sometimes just find some in stalker caves

[clear siren]

^^^ but that way is much harder

And slower as well since you'll awnt a spy pengling anyways

[supple barn]

What do you need it for

[clear siren]

||cold suit||

which you can get the scan for in ||phi robotics||

[velvet wadi]

im so confused, i just started playing and i already dont know what to do

is there a place you are supposed to go once u have a seaglide?

[carmine bobcat]

idk if this is a spoiler or some setting i accidently enabled.
What are these weird lines on my screen and how do I get rid of them?

nvm just figured it out

[fervent crater]

do i need a thermos for the coffee machine

[carmine bobcat]

yes

[gilded lion]

@unborn kiln Hey mate, you made a bug report. The modification station is pretty buggy overall but it’s easy to fix. After closing the modification station, if you can’t move, simply pause and unpause the game. :)

[unborn kiln]

ill try that thanks

[gilded lion]

Yeah, it works every time for me.

[steep pulsar]

Question

I got to the island with the ||Iceworm||

||I checked the destroyed base in there and got all the PDAs||

Anything else for me to do there ?

[spice seal]

so are you talking about the ||Arctic Spires where the Iceworms are|| or the Glacial Basin where Alterra bases that have PDAs are?

[steep pulsar]

I'm not sure

It's the island with the bridge

[spice seal]

well that's the mainland btw and the Arctic Spires is across the bridge and Glacial Basin is southwest of it

[steep pulsar]

Oh

I'm in Arctic Spires then ig

[spice seal]

so what PDAs did you get?

[misty nebula]

im guessing prawn suit is pretty loud but im probably gonna take it to the spires anyway

[steep pulsar]

Loud ?

Why does that matter ?

[steep pulsar]

Some from Sam and her teammates

[spice seal]

they will become angery

[spice seal]

It's the best vehicle for that biome because it takes less damage and you don't get knocked off of it for no reason every time you get attacked like the snowfox

[steep pulsar]

Oh i didn't know

[carmine bobcat]

in BZ once you see Maude is not dead and after you uh find that one island... i can't go deep enough to track her now what

[spice seal]

get a vehicle with a depth module

[carmine bobcat]

yes where do i get the depth module for me truck

[spice seal]

build it in a fabricator

it should be unlocked as soon as you build the truck

[wise agate]

People in the base game channel don’t like BZ. What do you guys think?

[spice seal]

I think it's not as good as Subnautica but still good

[broken badge]

I like them both, very much, it’s a very subjective question so depending on who’s around you’ll get different answers. There’s a lot of stuff that has been improved upon in Below Zero. Not everyone appreciates that fact

[spice seal]

I appreciate that the new base building stuff is great and so is qol stuff but I feel that that doesn't outweigh the stuff that makes it not as good

[wooden cobalt]

I feel the same way. I was soo exited and seeing Margret in game got my hyped for end game. But....... after getting further it just. Got... Dry. And I really feel like it was my fault and I was telling myself maybe I'm not focusing on stuff well enough. But. Actually it was that there wasn't enough lore to focus on because the lore didn't go as deep. At least that's how it feels. I wanted to learn more about this planet. But there isnt really a lot of hidden information to find. The game is more about (our characters) sister, Allen, and Margaret story feels like it contradicts Subnautica's story. Now if you wanted to learn about the aliens than I guess, but it was presented with one "person's" prospective and not through discovery in the world like with the first game. Like it's alright but I think I over hyped myself and was disappointed. Like, I love this game, or at least I think I do, I want to. But it's charm is fading from me. I beat this game once. And I'm now in my second playthrough but I'm not playing the story this run because its all linier.... Actually here's an analogy,BZ is like a yarn trail once you follow it and pick it up and finish the maze you will have a wad of yarn in your hand, it's in your memory but it can only do so much and you will get bored of it. Sub1 is like a cracker trail, it's kinda scattered and you have to keep looking for the next cracker but they're each small and tasty. And by the end you may be full but it makes you want to come back and get more. I'm actually discovering how I really feel about the games as I type this and going through personal options right now. I really want this franchise to get bigger because the art created by unknown worlds is fantastic and I want to see this grow beautifully. So I hope they go back to primarily fan feedback and take time with the next game.

[modern sedge]

how do you do the alterra quest margret gives you?

the first one (if there are any others)

[eternal garnet]

you find parallell processing unit in the wrecks. Craft test module. Insert. Start test mode

[cobalt axle]

Does the prawn suit not attract ||ice worms||?

Also what is this?

[eternal garnet]

it does.
This is a spy pengling cave

[heady silo]

i just got scared so bad

[supple barn]

||It shouldnt atleast a less sthen walking or fox also you dont get thrown out of it or stunned also more durability (ice worms hitbox is non existent so dont try to kill it)||

[cobalt axle]

Why is there so much fog

Is there anything significant in the ||Arctic Spires|| other than the ||Architect body part||?

[modern sedge]

how do i make a snowfox?

vehicle mobile bay?

[eternal garnet]

builld the hoverpad, on land

[modern sedge]

okay ty

[lucid dawn]

I haven't even found all the parts for the snowfox yet

[supple barn]

Glacial has like 500 fragments ez titanium except i cant get seatruck there

[cobalt axle]

How do I get the ||Kharaa sample||?

I'm in the ||leviathan cave|| right now

Should I put something in this?

[eternal garnet]

obviously

[cobalt axle]

What do I put in?

[eternal garnet]

the cure

[supple barn]

||kharaa cure|| its in tunnel only accesible by a robot pengling

[cobalt axle]

Oh

[supple barn]

Its close to the water

[clear siren]

Look on the map you can scan at Phi robotics 😉

[supple barn]

Is drill arm+grapling hook still the best combo for prawn in bz

[modern sedge]

im looking for items to upgrade my seatruck to mk2 depth and somehow ended up face to face with a shadow leviathan

without a seatruck

time to quit the game

im terrified

[lucid dawn]

Don't be

[modern sedge]

i started playing this game yesterday 😭

it's so scary

[supple barn]

if you make of fun of them how theyre just a cheap copy of the seadragon with a reaper leviathan gimmick theyl go cry in the corner

[frosty bay]

You don’t even need to go that deep for the Mk 2

[wise agate]

I asked last night, but it’s a different crowd this morning. Do you guys like BZ? Seems like there are a lot of haters

[lucid dawn]

I love it and prefer it over the og

[cobalt axle]

So ||Alan|| told me that there's something in the ||Crystal Caverns||, I've been there for like 30 minutes now, where can I find the something?

I entered from the ||smallest Mercury II fragment|| and got past the ||Shadow Leviathan||

Ooh I found it finally

[vocal solar]

Dont be. Small agro range and if your good you can stab them and they flee

[carmine bobcat]

How did you manage that what

What even is a shadow leviathan

[vocal solar]

She just wants to hug you

[carmine bobcat]

Kill it 😈

[wise agate]

Do people in this channel also like bragging about killing the wildlife

There are a lot of those in the main channel

[wise agate]

Oh. Yeah I guess they do

[carmine bobcat]

I love doing it especially the more aggressive leviathans like reapers and all that

[wise agate]

Bummer 😔

[carmine bobcat]

Ig

[wise agate]

I need a channel for people who respect and value the ecosystem 🥺

[ocean night]

[spice seal]

even if you don't want to respect the ecosystem, killing leviathans makes the game less hard

[crimson quartz]

Yes

I do agree

[crimson quartz]

Don't be a dang vegan.

Literally. Dont

Because you can't survive only with plants in subnautica

[spice seal]

and while this isn't a big problem in BZ, most leviathan kills just happen by stasis rifling it over and over again and then clicking hundreds of times with a knife which is just a bad use of time

[crimson quartz]

Well there ain't a stasis rifle here

[spice seal]

yeah that's why it

isn't a big problem in BZ

[vocal solar]

Actually.. yes yes you can its just annoying

[crimson quartz]

Plus they take a lot of space

Some, at least

[vocal solar]

shadup and take my salad

[crimson quartz]

Like shrub nuts

You get a fish. You cook it it takes a slot in your inventory and more storage space

[spice seal]

but anyway just because they don't like murdering apex predators for sport and personal gain doesn't mean that they oppose eating small fish

[vocal solar]

Vegan below zero run letsgo

[crimson quartz]

Literally hunting apex predators are good for you

Don't hunt them with a knife, then we really know your stupid at that point

[vocal solar]

Or actually good at the game.

[spice seal]

the only way it affects you is that now you have like 2 less hours left in your life and you have carpal tunnel

[wise agate]

Haha I’m no vegan, in real life or the game, but to me there’s a big difference between killing fish to eat and killing leviathans because of fear or bragging rights

[spice seal]

exactly

saying that people who are opposed to killing leviathans are vegans is like saying that people who are opposed to poaching irl are vegan

[vocal solar]

I was an adventurer like you once until I took a reaper to the knee

[wise agate]

I also tend to try to play games the way I think they were intended to be played*, which I know isn’t the most popular. I have lots of friends who prefer to go into stealth games guns blazing, burn villages in RPGs, etc.

• I can’t stay away from game mods tho

[vocal solar]

.....But The village needed pillaged

[wise agate]

Games to me are pretty meaningful not just as entertainment but as ways to tell gripping stories, explore meaningful themes, etc.

And I think one of the biggest problems our species faces today is anthropocentrism. I love that Subnautica discourages anthropocentrism in favor of coexistence and respect

[vocal solar]

Smaller words please XD

[spice seal]

definitely already know what that means and im not gonna google it

[wise agate]

Haha humans thinking they’re more important than anything else, like other species or the environment

[vocal solar]

I am not awake enough

[wise agate]

It just leads to a lot of wanton destruction

[spice seal]

yes i knew that

[vocal solar]

Oh that hacks me off. I mean I hate humanity as a whole because we just kill everything. If your not eating it and its not hurting you let it be

Exception is fire ants those can go back to hell

[spice seal]

...a couple seconds before you said it because I had already googled it

[wise agate]

It’s also both more beautiful and more efficient, in terms of time and resources, to learn to respect leviathans instead of hunting them. At least in the base game, I haven’t started BZ yet. Soon!

[vocal solar]

Bz levis are a joke

Slow and once you get the bzzt module seatruck is just op

... I love the shadow levi the most though Its heckking aodrable. I want a plushie

[wise agate]

I played the base game with a bunch of mods, so BZ may not be too much easier comparatively 😅

[vocal solar]

Oh no one of THEM

...joking aside I play on switch so I get modless and painful

How much are you into pain?

Yes

[cobalt axle]

Finally

[vocal solar]

Thats too easy wtf

...I want a bofy like alans though

[crisp flicker]

you gettin to the|| buily base||

[cobalt axle]

yes

[crisp flicker]

you know where to go?

[cobalt axle]

Yep

[crisp flicker]

good

youll beat the game in about 30 minutes

[cobalt axle]

Took me ages to find it the first time

[vocal solar]

...What if the levithan is still alive, but dormant and... oh god

[crisp flicker]

🤔

hmmm...

[vocal solar]

We cured it so it can kill us all

Subnautica temple run

do they ever ||actually explain what happened to all the people||

[spice seal]

devs have confirmed it's dead tho

[spice seal]

I don't think they did, in the old story they abandoned it because of meteor storms or whatever, but then when they changed the story they kept all the abandoned base models and stuff without explaining it

[unique geyser]

it’s been dead for a long long time

[patent tree]

Which people? Almost everyone is explained

[patent tree]

Make sure you unpin BEFORE you create those. Cannot unpin afterwards

[cobalt axle]

I did

[patent tree]

Noice. I learned that lesson the hard way :(… caught on after the first one

[ocean night]

should i get this game/

[patent tree]

Yes

[ocean night]

expecive

[patent tree]

Did you play Subnautica?

[ocean night]

no

[patent tree]

Play that one first

[ocean night]

really

[patent tree]

Below Zero is basically Subnautica 1.5

[spice seal]

yeah Subnautica takes place first

[ocean night]

the penglings tho

[patent tree]

You can play Subnautica and think about penglings

[spice seal]

construct an altar in your base and sacrifice materials and fish to the penglings far away

[ocean night]

but what if you only had enogh money to buy one game whcih one

[patent tree]

I thought they were both on GamePass?

[ocean night]

i am on pc

[patent tree]

Doesn’t gamepass work on PC?

[spice seal]

still subnautica

[ocean night]

ok

[patent tree]

But yes, still Subnautica. It is a much bigger, deeper world and the cyclops makes you feel like a legit sailor

[cobalt axle]

Finished the game, the ending cutscene was really cool

[patent tree]

Yeah definitely sets up for a sequel stares intently at devs

[vocal solar]

Sam. Fred. Emanuel. The people

[cobalt axle]

So now that I finished the game, ||was the whole Sam thing just a side quest||?

[spice seal]

kinda

it's not required to beat the game

[cobalt axle]

And same for ||Marguerit||?

[woeful tangle]

how big is BZ? Im thinking of buying it but i dont have much space left on my disk

[spice seal]

yeah that's part of Sam's storyline

[wise mauve]

says steam

@woeful tangle

[supple barn]

||just finished the game and gotta say it was much more epic then og ofc it had animations and all so it wasnt rly that suprising ended in cliff hanger so gotta see abt subnautica 3 which is pretty much confirmed for far future. for gameplay and exploration i think its worse then the original as it didnt focus on a story and you had to piece it together also having bigger map with much more biomes. also leviathans in below zero are kinda dissapointing a shrimp shark,a mutated shrimp shark ,big sea monkey with breast cancer and a mushroom. frozen leviathan and ice worms were pretty cool and scary but i think they shouldve kept the sea emperor in the game for some other big leviathans. all the connections to orignal games were also pretty well connected and made sense for the story im rly waiting whats gona happends to the story next and if we'l someday get a mod where someone decides to add the gargantuan leviathan to eat alive frozen leviathans. overral 7.8/10 for bz and 9.5/10 for og||

HEAVY SPOILERS for both games

||i dont think theres much replayabilty in it tho||

[carmine bobcat]

I require the all masters

HELLO

can anyone who has completed sub zero help pls

@fresh steppe I see u are a wiki person, you obviously know everything about the game, so, I am on Delta station dock and very scared cause I heard scary scream that sent chills down my spine, would be so kind to reassure me that the scream I heard was nothing?

Please?

[fresh steppe]

its' the sound of an immortal snail hunting down its' prey.

[carmine bobcat]

Are u serious?

I don't know jack about the game and am just very damn scared

So no leviathan's or things that wanna eat me?

[fresh steppe]

no, I'm not serious, I actually haven't played below zero in a long time, nor Do I remember that exact location or what goes on there after the 1.0 launch.

[carmine bobcat]

You're a wiki person

[fresh steppe]

yes.

[carmine bobcat]

So you should know everything about the game

You edit the wiki

[fresh steppe]

yes(2).

[carmine bobcat]

So tell me, am I in danger

[fresh steppe]

well, listen, I'm gonna be a little frank with you. I may edit the wiki, but the wiki is a collective culmination of knowledge about the game, built up through hours and years of work and correction.

I do not have all that knowledge hard engrained into my frontal lobe. But, lucky for your situation, all of that knowledge is, as a matter of fact, a few buttonclicks away from you.

[carmine bobcat]

Can you atleast tell me what biome I'm in?

[fresh steppe]

I believe the button f3 can display that information.. or maybe it's f1, it has been a while so I do not remember.

[carmine bobcat]

I am on the PlayStation 4

I do not have access to such luxury you people call as the f keys

[fresh steppe]

I am not familiar with the control formats on that, or if there are any debug options. The wiki knows though,

[terse hatch]

hello everyone

[fresh steppe]

I will link you to the delta station page, keep in mind there is a chance there will be Spoilers on said page. But it should have the information you are looking for, and if you are uncertain, you can search up which fauna spawn in which biomes to check if you are in a safe environment.

[carmine bobcat]

K

Pls give link

[fresh steppe]

https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Delta_Station

I will update my current user status to reflect what I am doing as well, since I do not have the luxury of time for checking information on the wiki right now, or checking in-game.

[carmine bobcat]

So much for a wiki keeper

@short obsidian would you be able to help me out kind sir/ma'am

[fresh steppe]

as wiki keepers, we maintain the wiki. That is our role. We maintain the wiki, so that users who need to find information can check it there.

[carmine bobcat]

Atleast mention on the wiki which biome the place is in

[fresh steppe]

it does actually.

[terse hatch]

hello everyone

[carmine bobcat]

No it does not

[fresh steppe]

top of page, under header: "Delta Station" and I will quote:

"This article is about Delta Station. You may be looking for Delta Island."

[wise mauve]

thermal spires

[spice seal]

thermal spires is underwater

[wise mauve]

yes it is but delta is in the middle of the biome. He heard some roars so I am pretty sure he meant the roars coming from underwater

[fresh steppe]

https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Delta_Island The delta island page also lists which biomes are located under and around the island, Some of which contain hostile fauna. Please refer to the information of the page(s).

[carmine bobcat]

Will the roars devour me?

[wise mauve]

go find out

:p

[carmine bobcat]

I will not as I have alot of sulfur on me

[wise mauve]

save before doing risky actions

[carmine bobcat]

Man I wish communitys still existen on PS4

Existed*

[fresh steppe]

I appreciate that you are looking for help, but the links I provided should be adequate enough information to aide you in your journeys. They can provide you more accurate information than I can, and can easily be accessed through a mobile device or computer. Each page (biome) lists the resources, fauna, flora, fragments, and scannable data in the region. This information is accurate and up to date unless proved otherwise. I implore you to check out the wiki if you are still confused, that is why it was created.

[fresh steppe]

If you are going to be impolite about it, then I respectfully request: please do not mention me over game related or informational questions.

[broken badge]

Don’t be rude to our community members, especially our staff

The wiki keepers are why the wiki for both games is a great resource of info for all players

[vocal solar]

They are cute gators

[short obsidian]

Why have I been called

I see

[misty nebula]

Ice worms are actually overrated ngl

I thought I was gonna die the second I step foot there but only 2 ice worms showed up and missed

Got what I needed and dipped

But the shadow leviathan is another story that dude will not stop grabbing me

[short knot]

Perimeter defense module will make him harmless

[cursive ledge]

Needs a nerf imo. It is way too op in its current state

[spice seal]

yeah

I wish there was an actual alternative so that you could just not use it but the PDS is the only way to defend yourself in the Seatruck at all

[cursive ledge]

A torpedo system would be great

But alas, we have to deal with it

[sterile gale]

idk what happened but i was swimming back to my sea truck had no oxygen and i was so close i kept left clicking but the screen popped up saying u died came up but when the screen went away i was in the sea truck even tho it said i died and lost some of my belonging which i did and i just went to pick up but when i respawned in my sea truck with no modules i was in it like i could walk around and i got a bug or i was lucky i think

[primal frost]

Seatruck is a safe spot I think, if you die you respawn in there

[wise agate]

Defense is better than offense, since killing the wildlife isn't a goal

[cursive ledge]

Fair but torpedoes didn’t do much damage in the base game correct?

[wise agate]

Does anyone play with shaders/know any good ones?

Yeah you could use torpedoes for deterrence/repulsion as well

But I doubt you'd stop there based on previous conversations :p

[cursive ledge]

i mean heck those vortex torpedoes or whatever would be great

[vocal solar]

Yeah ive lost modules like that before and i cried

[carmine bobcat]

Are the devs done adding stuff in below zero?

[clear siren]

Yes

Bug fixes will still happen

But nothing new

[safe forge]

Are the textures of the first survival pod supposed to be ultra low quality compared to the rest of the game?

example

you'll notice i've got mangohud running and dxvk. Using Proton with forced FSR. It looks like this when i don't do any of those fancy tricks too. Some of the assets are texture quality i would expect, like the door, handles, fab, storage. That contrasting quality is actually the worst part of it. I suspect it's caused because i'm running it through Steam Play compatibility layers

[spice seal]

that isn't an addition to the game tho

[safe forge]

It's out of early access. It's done. Just polishing now i'd expect.

[spice seal]

I know

[safe forge]

I noticed on twitter they were asking about new docking methods

[spice seal]

This guy replied yes to a question asking if new stuff was being added and then proceeded to say that new stuff was not being added, just bug fixes

[safe forge]

um

your question was "are they done?"

This guy

[clear siren]

"Are the devs done adding new stuff", I said yes because they're not adding anything new

Read what was said before you try to roast me XD

[safe forge]

self roast

[spice seal]

yeah I'm dumb

[worldly condor]

in normal subnautica chat, everyone be like why is the torpedo here? BZ be like, when will it be here...

[cursive ledge]

Yes

[grim token]

When I saw the cat poster was changed I was sad

[next current]

You do know that it was made by a different artist, right?

And if that fan had not made it, it probably wouldn't be in the game.

[primal frost]

I went behind delta outpost

Found so much gold

[safe forge]

theres gold behind them thar hills

[vocal solar]

Nope. Its shadow girls they want hugs

[carmine bobcat]

So I just went exploring a bit cause I'm bored, what are these

[modern lagoon]

that is the glacial bason home to the iceworms

[signal dagger]

so who would win in a fight to the death. an arctic peeper or a crashfish. consider this. both will end up dead.

[modern lagoon]

probably crasfish

u beat the game yet?

[mortal bronze]

it was probably a bad idea to enter the glacial basin via ice tunnels

[signal dagger]

the crashfish can not survive its explosions. the arctic peeper is not able to survive the explosion either.

[modern lagoon]

true

hey jevil u beat the game?

[signal dagger]

not yet.

why.

[modern lagoon]

just wondering

[carmine bobcat]

What are ic worms

It didn't reply woops

[carmine bobcat]

What are ice worms

[carmine bobcat]

Uhhh woops

Again I was just exploring the water trying to find smth to do

It didn't tell me to go here

Why would they do that

Also that looks so sick what

Well good thing idk where to find em at

[cursive ledge]

They also make the snowfox the most clunky vehicle within both games.

[carmine bobcat]

Uhh what bridge

I've only seen like natural ice ones

Yea I'm there rn

Turns out they do have fridges in the game

Oo

Ah

Got it

Yuh

Haven't gone to any of the artifacts yet tho

[lost cove]

I would spoil that, that's endgame stuff

[carmine bobcat]

Wait so am I already like at endgame stuff rn on accident

[lost cove]

It's still nice to spoiler them for new players

[wise agate]

I would like to bind both sprint and move down to left shift please and thank you

What on earth? Why could I do that in SN1 but not BZ?

c is awful for moving down

[carmine bobcat]

Ohhhh

[next current]

Biome spoilers, nothing to do with the endgame.

[urban slate]

Hey, I'm running into a bug I thought was fixed but maybe I'm just wrong. I was transfering to a new base and started to do some interior stuff with it. Unfortunatly, I placed a poster on a partition. Me being the perfectionist I am tried to pick it up and discovered I couldn't. Any fixes? So far I've tried the warp command, shotgun, and trying to pick it up from the back of the partition.

I completely deconstructed the entire room to fix it. But hey, it'll be cool when its done?

I thought a patch for that was released before they even released the full game? Perhaps not though

[carmine bobcat]

Is the BZ planet the same one as the original game?

[broken badge]

Yes, it takes place at one of the poles of 4546B

[broken badge]

I checked and there was some fix done with large rooms but I’m not sure about partitions specifically. I guess write up a bug report if you haven’t already (you can do that with in game feedback or using the #🐞bug-smash channel here)

[carmine bobcat]

ah okey

[arctic finch]

Was it next to a door

[wise agate]

I forgot about my least favorite part of SN1 and now it’s back in BZ

[arctic finch]

I found out that if you place items to close to a door in the big room that item may become unuseable

[carmine bobcat]

Anyone else experience stuff falling through the floor when dropping items?

And certain ores that are just non-interactable?

[past flume]

Do you have any mods installed? and are you on the finished released version?

[carmine bobcat]

Nah. And yeah, I should be

[past flume]

When you say items fall through the floor, you mean the ground outside on rocks and hills, right? Yes, I haven't seen anything I drop that does not fall to oblivion. some stuff just floats there though.

usually its ore that falls through the world

[blissful stag]

Does anyone know where i can find builder tool, seatruck and mobile vehicle bay fragments???

[carmine bobcat]

Yeah, that's what I meant

I seem to be stuck in the mining facility.

I can't get my seatruck out

[unkempt otter]

how long can the prawn suit survive an ice worm or can it kill one? ive been able to kill pretty much everything else with prawn suit melee attacks so far

just dont wanna go fight one in it only to find out theyre invincible and do insane amounts of damage to vehicles

nvm theyre invincible

[blissful stag]

lmao

[blissful stag]

try squeezing through it with the side of the seatruck in a 45 degree angle.

[modern oyster]

i think ive screwed myself over, progression-wise

i ignored the sos signal place initially because i didnt have the gear to reach it and forgot about it until i'd explored most of the map, even doing the ||marguerit|| arc until i got to ||her greenhouse||, so by the time i got ||alan|| i'd already visited most of the places and its making me go there again, so now im just stuck waiting for ||him to give me beacons|| to visit them again

drawing a blank what else there even is to do anymore plot wise, so im just idly waiting for ||the beacons to pop up||

[carmine bobcat]

I couldn't find a way out

My fabricator module was on there too, I think that made things more difficult. I ended up ditching the module and squeezing through the door at the end of the mine with the truck

Is magnetite a lot rarer in this game?

[blissful stag]

oh but i meant the main gate you know where you get inside the first place

[blissful stag]

i think so

[carmine bobcat]

I actually got in through the volcanic cave system

[blissful stag]

do you know where i can find the mobile vehicle bay and seatruck fragments??

[carmine bobcat]

I'm making a super long tunnel in my base that's gonna be like 500m long. It's a bit of a trek to run through it though

[carmine bobcat]

Just gotta look everywhere really. They can be anywhere, in caves or whatever

[blissful stag]

i found some down in that blue biome close to the pod

[carmine bobcat]

Yeah, there's a lot more if you venture out. Just follow the beacons that are given to you and you're bound to find them all

[blissful stag]

oki oh btw do you know where i can find that upgrade to the O2 tank??

[grizzled bear]

I’ve thought about and I think I should ask you guys should they add a secret lifepod from the aroura in BZ?

[lost cove]

Why? Below zero doesn't really tie in with the original

[grizzled bear]

Alright

I thought it would be a cool Easter egg

[wise mauve]

I think sector zero is too far away

though it would be a nice little touch

[supple barn]

How so?

Oh nvm

[grizzled bear]

There is a theory that some of the lifepods went into space

[wise mauve]

Really? I only heard about some of them landing in the void

[grizzled bear]

And that

[supple barn]

I dont think sector zero is actually that far away from the crater

[grizzled bear]

Can I link the video I watched?

[wise mauve]

I mean Marguerit still managed to float all the way from her lifepod to sector zero so

[grizzled bear]

maida was not in the aroura

[supple barn]

||On reaper||

[wise mauve]

was she not?

[grizzled bear]

In the degasi

[modern oyster]

she wasnt but she was still in the same area initially as the aurora

[supple barn]

||she was on another ship aurora was searching for||

[wise mauve]

oh alright makes sense

[wise mauve]

true

[grizzled bear]

It’s makes no sense that alterra would send a giant ship after a much smaller one

I don’t get it

[modern oyster]

looking for the degasi was just a side objective for the aurora, the main mission was building a phase gate, at least thats what it says on the aurora wiki page

[supple barn]

Not exactly it was a large ship too also it dissapeared without a trace also aurora had other objectives

[grizzled bear]

Oh missed that pda or data

[modern oyster]

yeah the aurora was just doing a slingshot maneuver around the planet when it was shot down by the quarantine platform

[grizzled bear]

I need to go back to the aurora to check what pda and data I’ve missed

[modern oyster]

but yeah marguerit's diary says she drifted for 2 weeks before getting to the BZ area so it cant really be that far unless there was a strong current straight there

[grizzled bear]

||On a reaper||

[wise mauve]

yes we know that

a dead one specifically

[supple barn]

Spoilers for the aechitects and kharaa ||im thinking why alan is scared that his kind is dead? Yea kharaa was a galaxy level outbreak but we know that they can store their mind like alan in the sanctuary which was running out of power so why would the architechs in his homeworld not store in bigger sanctuaries with infinite amount of energy from ion cubes||

[modern oyster]

||they probably did||, and maybe thats what ||alan and riley|| will do once they get there, ||start building vessels for all of them||

[grizzled bear]

But are they alive?

[wise mauve]

Riley was the Janitor guy in SN1

[supple barn]

||Yea but still it wierd that alan is scared that they wouldnt be there even if kharaa spread there maybe theres something he didnt tell us or maybe he just didnt know if the architects there would realise to do it well whatever the answer is wel find out in the future||

[modern oyster]

i forget her name, BZ main character lady is what she is to me

[supple barn]

||As alan said only their physical bodies died not their mind||

[grizzled bear]

But they are not working on a subnautica game

Ohh

A thousand strings

[supple barn]

Not currently but we know they will do third one eventually rn theyre focusing on a completly different game with no connections to the world

Bot even same franchise

[grizzled bear]

Ok

[modern oyster]

i doubt the story will be continued from the ending of BZ

if they make a third one it'll just be another tangentially related game on the same planet

[supple barn]

I pretty sure a director or something in unknown world said that they still have plans to continue the story just not certainly a subnautica game but still continues the story

Spanautica

[carmine bobcat]

May sound like a dumb question, but is there a faster way to get around inside of the base?

[modern oyster]

if you mean inside of a base that youve built, using ladders is instantaneous so you could redesign it so that you have different floors

[wise mauve]

Robin :)

[modern oyster]

yeah i remembered it starts with R

[carmine bobcat]

It's just that I have this super long tunnel in my base. Takes a while to traverse it

[modern oyster]

no solution to that except making a shorter tunnel

a vertical tunnel you could travel instantly with ladders but with a horizontal one theres nothing but just running down it normally

[unkempt otter]

there shouldnt be anything down here that can damage this little moonpool base i made right?

im not anywhere near the squid shark spawns down here. those another hundred meters down.

[carmine bobcat]

Okay, anything down can damage your moonpool here

[modern oyster]

yeah there shouldnt be anything in that area that damages stuff and things

[unkempt otter]

k

[carmine bobcat]

No sorry nothing can damage your moonpool here

[unkempt otter]

just set that up to charge my prawn suit while im down there and so i can fab stuff

[modern oyster]

just out of curiosity, what did you do for power?

[carmine bobcat]

Ye

[unkempt otter]

bio reactor

[carmine bobcat]

Oh with what ?

[unkempt otter]

creature eggs and the acidic plant things

used for batteries

[carmine bobcat]

Oh okay

[modern oyster]

peepers are good for bio reactors btw, one gives a few hundred energy and you can stuff like 16 in at once so you dont need to fill it that often

[carmine bobcat]

It's pretty smart

[unkempt otter]

ic will try that then

[lofty cedar]

Just download a all items 1x1 mod

[unkempt otter]

i was gonna go thermal but theres no heat sources down here

[modern oyster]

seems like there arent that many heat sources in the map to begin with compared to the first game, though i guess it makes sense since its the arctic

[carmine bobcat]

Yes it's rather a shame that there is no heat source here even in depth it's a shame

[unkempt otter]

theres some up on the ice and thats what i run my surface base off of but none in the depths

[carmine bobcat]

Yes not even a crater or a lava zone unlike Subnautica but at the same time it is Subnautica "below zero"

[unkempt otter]

how do i scan these things -_-

||after it attacks you and you escape, it wont try again instantly||

[carmine bobcat]

Is the battery charger in this game?

[cobalt axle]

Yes

Is there a way to play the older versions of this game?

[supple barn]

Ed8 thing atleast that what game says for my older version save

[eternal garnet]

yes, on steam. Enter beta code belowzeroearlyaccess

[cobalt axle]

Thanks

[eternal garnet]

then you pick a version, eg. EA8.1

[cobalt axle]

uh what

June 2010

[eternal garnet]

june 2020. does it really say 2010?

[cobalt axle]

Yes

[lofty cedar]

2010!!!??!

God damn i didn't knownthe game went back to there

[cobalt axle]

It's a mistake obviously

memories

[eternal garnet]

2019. Is that EA1?

Area in the pic is still ingame (although this is concept art), but locked away, near outpost Zero. You need a prawn to get there

[white trellis]

guys does anyone knows where to get prawn suit parts? um new to subnautica below zero

[eternal garnet]

well, i'll be mentioning places you don't know. The large shipwrecks. Koppa mine.

Outpost zero, but I think those arent scannable

[carmine bobcat]

Is there a sea truck depth module 2 or no

[eternal garnet]

3 too. it's in the mod station

Why? Yes.

[carmine bobcat]

Am I supposed to scan this?

[eternal garnet]

no. it's a marker that this is a spy pengling cave

[carmine bobcat]

oh, what does that mean?

[eternal garnet]

it means you can go in there with your spy pengling robot

[carmine bobcat]

What does that do for me?

[eternal garnet]

Only once is there something really good. Often magnetite, quartz

[dire minnow]

Is that at Delta island

[carmine bobcat]

Yeah

[dire minnow]

There is pengling tunnels at Delta?

[eternal garnet]

oh that cave has diamonds, but getting the bot is far away

[carmine bobcat]

My scanner room picked it up

[eternal garnet]

easier to get diamonds in deep twisty bridges

[dire minnow]

The spy pengling parts are halfway across the map if you don't have em

[carmine bobcat]

I think I might have screwed myself out of lithium

I've used up all the lithium that my scanner could find building my base

[eternal garnet]

lithium isn't rare. On top of purple vents, and in deep twisty bridges

[carmine bobcat]

I'll take another look then

[carmine bobcat]

Oh yea I didn't think about that woops
Thought there was a vehicle upgrade module thing like in the first game you'd need

[wise agate]

Really want to not build floating lockers this time

Which means I need to find a habitat builder fast

[eternal garnet]

120m down in twisty bridges, by a small building

[surreal tusk]

hewo im bacc

[severe saffron]

Look for a single platform and an I building. It’s in the tube

[wise agate]

Thanks! Now, where to build my first base?

[primal frost]

I would build your first one in the twisty bridges

[severe saffron]

Put mine about 120m from the drop pod due south on the edge of the twisty bridges and next to the kelp

[bold monolith]

EA1 would be January. 15125 was EA04.

[severe saffron]

Managed to get 3 multi rooms just below the water and room for 2 moon pools

[past flume]

For getting out of the mine with your seatruck, go to the door that is slightly cracked. go to the top of the door where the opening has a T shape. Then press your ship up against the opening there and shake the h*** out of your mouse while pressing forward. When shaking the mouse, it is important to go about 90 degrees in either direction because your ship actually fits through the tightest part almost sideways.

Alternatively once you press against the door, in the right spot at the top of the T, turn your ship perfectly sideways and use your strafe controls to pass through the opening.

If you got any components inside, such as your rear compartments, those will not be coming back out. The way in through the volcano cave above the bottom chamber of the mine sometimes lets bigger things through, but I have never gotten any of the bigger items out of the cave that way at all...

[modern oyster]

They were for me

[carmine bobcat]

Yeah, this is what I ended up doing. Had to abandon my seatruck fabricator module. God, that whole area was super frustrating. I've never going back there again.

[eternal garnet]

yes

bit doubtful. Try it. Lower water quality first, it's expensive

1650 is lower midrange, not awful, not very old

[floral sedge]

Why is this biome not loading (iam also not able to save)

in the corner it says "Saves game" for like 3 mins now and nothing happens

[eternal garnet]

your game has locked up

console? This also happens in versions from 2020, 2019

[floral sedge]

Pc

[floral sedge]

what does that mean?

The first time i played the game 100% i never had this

[eternal garnet]

quit BZ, reopen

[floral sedge]

uff

[past flume]

Hmm.. It is worth it though getting ruby in a much safer area than the jungle. But the mine is easily an avoidable area if you go to Omega base right after you get your scanner.

#role-assignment

[leaden hearth]

anybody know a good spot for nickel ore deposits?

like drilling ones?

[next current]

There are no Drillable Nickel, Lead, Uraninite, and Lithium deposits in Below Zero.

[leaden hearth]

i can understand all but the lithium

that is needed by too many things in too great a quantity

i just found the final of 3 nickel i needed for seatruck mk3

i really adore how my base is turning out

do drillable ore deposits respawn?

[safe sun]

No.

[leaden hearth]

cool lol

hoooey took my seatruck with a fabricator module and 2 storage modules with a docking one and my prawn suit with 2 storage upgrades on a mining expedition. im set for a while now. except titanium. can never have enough when base building

[next current]

Need Lithium, ||bring a Propulsion Cannon to the Arctic Spires and start hunting for those Ore Veins.||

[leaden hearth]

my seatruck died on the way back... im still in crystal caves. atleast i killed the shadow leviathan patrolling this zone

this is why we bring spare power cells

totally my fault for running the jukebox even while out mining with my prawn sui

im sure that jukebox is draining

i should've brought more storage modules

[chilly sorrel]

Hi folks, are there any members of a German-speaking Subnautica Discord here? Would be great if you could send me an invitation. Thanks!

[next current]

There is no German Subnautica Server that anyone knows, sorry.

This is not the correct channel for this kinda stuff, sorry.

[true spoke]

Hi everyone! @leaden hearth That is my fear lol

[leaden hearth]

lol just always keep a spare set of fully charged power calls on you

im pretty proud of my haul this time round

[true spoke]

It almost happened to me last night in the lily pad caves. I'm still pretty early on in the game so that would've been real bad

[next current]

Hello, new friend!

[true spoke]

Hi!!

[leaden hearth]

what?

what?!?!?!!?!

i entered my seatruck from the back docking module. and apparently that made my seatruck disconnect and get sucked into my moonpool...

[true spoke]

... you are having the worst time with your truck

[leaden hearth]

i have a love hate with this game

[true spoke]

I got mine stuck on a cliff once and had to reload like an hour of gameplay

[leaden hearth]

not worth it lol

[true spoke]

Not as bad as the time in the first one that I got glitched into the Aurora in the first one lol!!

I literally just did everything there was to do in there too UGH

[leaden hearth]

lool

the shadow leviathan i killed fell through the world

[carmine bobcat]

Anybody there

[eternal garnet]

about a thousand people

[carmine bobcat]

Ok, look, I need help

I heard scary noises in the ocean near delta island, should I be concerned?

I heard like a scream, not a human one, it was in thermal spires

Someone

[eternal garnet]

I think it was you

[true spoke]

LOL swim quickly.

Don't turn around.

[carmine bobcat]

Are there any threats near thermal spires that might make me into a sandwich?

Any leviathan's?

[next current]

Leviathans... err... arguable.

[carmine bobcat]

What does that mean?

[next current]

You're likely hearing the Cryptosuchus'.

[eternal garnet]

the black crocs are very noisy, but poke them and they run away. Or die from 2 truck bumps

[next current]

Poke them with sharp metal stick.

[carmine bobcat]

So it's just noise I shouldn't be worried about

Right?

[next current]

As long as you keep your distance, you should be fine.

[eternal garnet]

they can hurt you a little, but are mostly bark

[carmine bobcat]

Ok, so take off my headphones and just swim to base

Got it

[eternal garnet]

no, ignore them

or bump them

[leaden hearth]

thid game basically has no threats

[true spoke]

Yeah this game is good at making you realize you're claustrophobic or giving you anxiety lol

[modern sedge]

I MADE A NEW BASE

[leaden hearth]

oh?

[modern sedge]

its definitely an upgrade from this

[leaden hearth]

let's see?

[modern sedge]

still working on interior decor

[leaden hearth]

dang nice

can i make a small recommendation?

[carmine bobcat]

is bz ever gonna get a sale on steam ive been waiting for so long

[true spoke]

I downloaded mine from game pass it was added kinda recently

[modern sedge]

please do, im so new to all of this

[leaden hearth]

glass tubes are always prettier

and plan your layout first. i made the mistake of building my base before having any idea of what i wanted

and if you plan on only one base put it in a good spot with easy access to all resources or all areas

[leaden hearth]

why does my base flicker when i use too much energy

[elder solstice]

nice

[leaden hearth]

im about to find out how well large room partitions do with an enameled glass roof

not at all

so ugly

my habitat builder has infinite power

[ivory siren]

Is Below Zero “finished” in terms of content? Or do they plan on adding more

[eternal garnet]

As far as I know: Yes. Some improvements are planned, like a moonpool update

[leaden hearth]

theres just a peeper in my base

yeah @ivory siren its completed. it was finished on may 14th

[ivory siren]

Nice nice, may have to play it. I installed it the other day but have been far too busy

[leaden hearth]

its buggy but good.

[eternal garnet]

it is not buggy (on PC)

[leaden hearth]

yes it is....

i play exclusively pc. its very glitchy very buggy

bugs will kill you

[eternal garnet]

I don't have to agree

[leaden hearth]

not to scare people off but...

[amber hemlock]

I never seen really much bugs on pc even upon release

Only bug I saw was a single creature clipping into the ground and then that was it

[leaden hearth]

one irritating one. i got teleported out of my prawn suit so the ice worm animation could play and 1 shot me. i was half in prawn suit half out

i entered my docking module and my seatruck detached itself and docked itself into my moonpool.

i crafted a multipurpose room onto the bottom of 2 mp rooms and sll the attaching tunnels dissapeared locking the rooms all off. i deleted the one i made and it came back. i recrafted the room and the tunnels didnt disappear

thats all within 3 hours of gameplay that my mind remembers

maybe im unlucky

but its really buggy in my save

[amber hemlock]

You sure your truck wasn’t just close enough to your moonpool to get autodocked?

[leaden hearth]

it was but it doesnt autodock when modules are attached

never has for me anyway. i always have to manually disengage the modules to have ot dock in the moonpool

[amber hemlock]

You can dock with modules on, the modules automatically disengage when you dock

[leaden hearth]

never had it happen

even driving the seatruck straight into the moonpool the modules win

so one or the other is a bug.

[tranquil plume]

Oddly enough, I did have a couple crashes to desktop with the original Subnautica. The cause turned out to be bad RAM.

[leaden hearth]

yeah i had a problem in og sub where my camera locked position and so it was literally unplayable. turned out it was a strange audio driver issue. cause it fixed itself when going to volume mixer and switching audio output.

[hollow fern]

My below zero just crashed and I had not saved for 5 hours

[leaden hearth]

nooooooo!!!

[hollow fern]

That’s a F moment

[eternal garnet]

you what. Why don't you save 4 times/h

[hollow fern]

Too lazy

[eternal garnet]

I have suggested that so many times

Mainly as protection from getting vehicles stuck etc.

[leaden hearth]

or if a random peeper decides your home is now also its home

[hollow fern]

Well guess I gotta turn my ps4 back on and do it all again

[eternal garnet]

just pick it up, if you don't want a house pet

[leaden hearth]

........ now it invited a boomerang as a guest....

[hollow fern]

Bruh

In sub I had like 7 spadefish in my house

[tranquil plume]

I'm wondering if the original will be upgraded to something resembling the BZ engine as it seems more reliable and faster.

[leaden hearth]

or hopefully atleast add the base building upgrades

[upbeat temple]

We have a lot of upgrades and optimisations to come to SN!

[leaden hearth]

i need s ghost leviathan bed in sub1

[upbeat temple]

We covered it a little in our last blog post, but def have a lot of work in progress there.

[leaden hearth]

every bitnof titanium i spent hours mining is now used all up

[tranquil plume]

It would be nice to have the large rooms in the original, but they'd have to be done as one of those "redeemable key" things on the main menu or perhaps a databox tossed somewhere.

Actually the redeemable key (like for the Jacksepticeye thing) idea would be pretty nice.

[amber hemlock]

Isn’t subnautica content complete?
Why would the devs put content in a game labelled as content complete?
