I'd love to see Robin's adventure afterwards!

#

Automod shot you down so fast lol

quick harness
#

oops haha

white grove
#

Automod sucks and doesn't like more than like 3 words in caps lol

quick harness
#

yea that would be sick tbh

fallow hill
#

I just learned that the perimeter defense module was in ||marges base|| the whole time šŸ˜ƒā€¦

white grove
#

F bro

quick harness
#

made the game less scary with all the ||shadow leviathans||

fallow hill
#

I’ve was searching for it for so long

white grove
#

Oh nooooo

quick harness
#

now i can finally go to bed haha

fallow hill
#

Anyways my Subnautica just crashed and I don’t remember when I last saved

white grove
#

Oh yeah the perimeter defense is so so good it shakes off any leviathan instantly

#

OH NO

fallow hill
#

The save image didn’t look like it was too long ago

white grove
#

And you now know where that is

fallow hill
#

I’m done

#

It was so long ago

white grove
#

Oh noo

fallow hill
#

It was before I even upgraded my base which was a while ago

white grove
#

That's why i save so insanely often

#

I save every like 15 minutes if even that

#

That way in case it breaks i only lose 15 minutes of progress which is still annoying but not nearly as bad

fallow hill
#

A lot better then a couple hours cough cough

#

It’s before I unlocked ||Alan’s muscle||

white grove
#

Oh god i would cry sjfjkd

fallow hill
#

I’m on the verge

#

I’m just gonna take a small break

#

However I’m going to look on the bright side, I know where the organs are, I know what I’ll need for my CC base, I might murder someone, And I can rework my base to be even better

white grove
#

Hell yeah!

fallow hill
#

Always look on the bright side

fallow hill
#

My ||Crystal Caverns|| base that I stupidly made deep inside of the ||Crystal Caverns||

carmine bobcat
#

Yoo your base looks awesome! /G

fallow hill
#

Pros: Awesome View, New Friend, lots of resources. Cons: Was really expensive, took forever to build, every time I leave its a coin flip on life and death

carmine bobcat
#

Worth jt >:)

carmine bobcat
#

I haven't played in so long

#

Your base lookd awesome man I fail so bad

fallow hill
#

Nah, you just need a seatruck storage module and you’re good

#

Assuming you know EXACTLY what you’re gonna build

#

Luckily for me I planned what I was gonna build

carmine bobcat
fallow hill
#

Oh, I only build base when I have a solid idea on what I’ll make

#

Then when I make it I’ll look for resources around it and build from those

carmine bobcat
#

I cant find chelicerates in my world

#

oh wait i forgot i killed them because i was bored

glad wind
#

Whys it so hard to find table coral? Can you find them in the shallows?

minor dragon
#

u can find the in twisty bridges

glad wind
minor dragon
#

u welcome

#

i had a hard time finding them to

carmine bobcat
#

Whats the best setup for killing ||shadow leviathans||?

#

I have a love-hate relationship whit this game

What should I name him?

#

For context, I was adding a beacon to my observatory and he got trapped

#

Yes

#

Also I would || that

glad wind

Mb

#

And where can i get || laser cutters ||. Ive been to the ||pilot last location|| and got them out of all the ||monkey nests||

quick terrace
#

there's a couple fragments in some of the old wrecks

#

and also there's one on a desk in the ||Koppa Mining Site||

#

Snow stalkers are nowhere close to either bases.

quick elk
#

how do i get over the fear of the last leviathan in the game which is specifically 900+m deep and looks black with a blue glowing belly with giant rib looking arms that hold you while being attacked and has red eyes with a lot of legs attached to its body?

wet sparrow
#

guys all my progress is gone bc of a bug what do i do 🄲

quick elk
#

i have no idea

#

maybe search it on Google

#

also , I hope somebody answers my question about how to get over the fear of the last leviathan in the game which is specifically 900+m deep and looks black with a blue glowing belly with giant rib looking arms that hold you while being attacked and has red eyes with a lot of legs attached to its body. If nobody answers this, I may not be able to ever complete the game.

However, there's unfortunately nothing you can do but check if you have backups of it. Given you've played on it for such a long time there is a decent chance you have a backed up file floating around somewhere

spare matrix
#

why every time the ice worm is going out of the ground i get knocked off my snowfox?

fallow pasture
#

that's. that's what they do

It’s not actually from 2015 it just reset to that date for whatever reason

#

That’s the world streaming bug I’m guessing, tell me did the world stop existing in certain areas before you lost your progress? Kinda like in this picture? And you tried to leave but the game got stuck saving?

wet sparrow
#

Yes!

broken badge
#

The only thing you can do is force quit the game, because if it gets stuck saving, it pretty much kills the save

#

Sadly, most of us try to quit thru the menu, which means it’ll try to save, which ends up killing the saveohno

wet sparrow
#

omg 😭

broken badge
#

Believe me, I know how frustrating it is, I’ve had it happen before, more than once. And I can assure you this is being worked on to find a way to fix it, prevent it from happening. But it’s proven very elusive in terms of recreating

wet sparrow
#

well. thank you for your help šŸ’—

#

i hope they fix it soon

broken badge
#

If it should happen again, force quit the game. Because it’s better to lose progress than lose your save.
If it starts happening, I’ve found you should die in the game, that stops the process of it trying to save corrupted data if it gets stuck in a save loop, THEN force quit. Same principle, you’ll lose some progress but hopefully salvage the save.

This goes for anyone who hears about someone experiencing this issue, tell them to force quit, not try to quit regularly as that’ll end up in a save loop

#

I should write something up, I thought I had but I should write something up and pin it

#

(Not that anyone ever checks pinsšŸ˜”)

#

The first two times I encountered this bug, was fairly early on in my progress, like 3-4 hrs of play. How far along were you when it happened?

wet sparrow
#

15 hours

broken badge
#

Oh wow. The last time it happened I was about 12 hrs in, so I was much further. That’s why it’s been hard to track down, there’s not been much consistent with it, which if there’s no reproduction steps it makes it almost impossible to try and get a fix for it. Gotta understand what’s triggering it ya know

wet sparrow
#

maybe too much stuff in the base or something

broken badge
#

The ones where it’s happened early I’ve not even had a base, or just a tube maybe with a few lockers

wet sparrow
#

i dont really know but when it happened i was building new stuff in the base and cleaning the lockers

#

this game is so good and relaxing but it crashes alotšŸ˜” šŸ’”

#

hello♄

#

haha

#

he will just guide u to some places to go and complete things but all and all hes nice dw :)

#

do u see a green symbol in the game?

#

yes

#

oh ok then just wait a lil and it will show up and he will tell u to go there

#

and answer his calls

left pike
#

||I never played below zero||

wet sparrow
#

oh i think i know now

#

there is blue prints around the map to go to these places

#

sorry i play in pc but goodluck♄

hollow onyx
#

help i am scared to go into the crystal caves what do i do

#

i have just had an encounter with the funny shadow leviathan and now im afraid to go in there, do i just rush in there for 3 kyanite

broken badge
#

No coordinates on Xbox, or any console for that matter

hollow onyx
#

oh god i see it again

broken badge
#

I always get my kyanite without encountering the shadowsvvShrug you can find individual pieces before getting into their territory

hollow onyx
#

oh nonononononononono i am not doing this

left pike
#

give him a hug

hollow onyx
#

yknow what i think ima just...

#

ima just rush because why not

broken badge
#

Right at the beginning of where the caverns start under both purple vents and also under where Maida’s place is

broken badge
#

You only need like 5 pieces or something iirc

#

Or maybe it’s a few more but it’s not much

hollow onyx
#

i found literally nothing.

#

nvm

#

god dammit theres nothing else in terms of kyanite there

#

guess i gotta commit speedrunning type prawn suit movement

#

ill get 30 damaged anyway

broken badge
#

It’s usually around the purple crystal clusters

hollow onyx
#

usually.

#

ima wait for it to go back to where it came from

#

ok maybe this isnt actually well, the first game had an easy enemy as final part, now it's actual hard

#

welp i got nothing to lose and nothing to win so ima rush

#

saving first.

#

nvm i can just circle strafe it in the prawn suit

#

anyone wish there was still a sonar in below zero?

white grove
#

I love the seamoth sonar in the first game but i can understand why there isn't a need for it in below zero

carmine bobcat
#

Why?

white grove
#

The map is a lot more close together than the og game, it was easier to get lost and a lot of places are super open and dark/murky so you couldn't see the landscape nor leviathans as easily as you can in bz so it was nice to have it for the og one but bz doesn't really need it

hollow onyx
#

that's fair

odd haven
#

So I just visited ||Margarett in her garden on the iceberg|| and she told me there's a pda lying around containing some clues about where to go to find Sam, but now I don't remember which pda entry it was and what it's about

#

Does anyone know by chance what information that pda entry contained?

eternal garnet
#

it was about the frozen creature. On the phi robotics wall map (scan it), it's bottom left by a radio tower. Have you found phi?

odd haven
#

Nope

#

Where is phi?

#

I do have a map where it tells me, but I can't tell which of those facilities is phi robotics

eternal garnet
#

it's in a large land area, west of delta island

#

there's a dock with another radio tower

#

then walk left, you get a Phi beacon

odd haven
#

Alright thanks

#

Is it underwater or?

eternal garnet
#

no

odd haven
#

So Its on land nice

#

I think I found the island, but where is the dock?

eternal garnet
#

it's not an island. look for the radio mast, maybe a little north

odd haven
#

By island I mean massive icebergs

#

Is phi robotics near the place with tons of squids

#

Is this it?

eternal garnet
#

yes, that is the dock. Phi is west, not far, and you get a beacon

#

youll find a bridge north. Grab the hydraulic fluid to fix the bridge later

odd haven
#

I just found the bridge

#

Where do I have to go from the bridge?

eternal garnet
#

west

odd haven
#

West?

#

I just went west

#

Only thing I found is the ||precursor thing||

#

I don't think I'm going in the right direction

#

Found it!!

carmine bobcat
#

Subnautica below zero is just Subnautica light mode, change my mind

stoic surge
#

Survey Time! -- What is your preferred module(s) to tow behind the seatruck?

broken badge
#

What? Lots of areas in BZ are very dark, the underwater parts at least

broken badge
#

Storage and fabricator are my standard, usually later I’ll have docking as well for prawn (just for the drilling really)

white grove
#

Fabricator is so helpful

broken badge
#

I use the storage and fab modules together to compress resources

stoic surge
#

I like to bring the fabricator with until I build a base, then the aquarium for collecting bioreactor fuel

#

But I wonder why it won't scoop up Noot fish? Maybe because you can't eat em

broken badge
#

I’ve found those root pustules are pretty awesome for bioreactor

stoic surge
#

Isn't there a fixed number of them?

broken badge
#

Probably but I don’t use that much power

#

And there’s a lot of them

stoic surge
#

Very true

#

I can imagine my bioreactor groaning when I stuff it with the hot peppers

broken badge
#

Let’s hope Robin isn’t prone to ulcers or acid refluxšŸ˜‚

stoic surge
#

How cool would it be if the reactor made energy faster with hot peppers added?

#

I would also like to see some future game (or update) bring in some kind of device that could compress foods into the nutrient blocks

glad wind
#

Well thats fun isnt it

#

My prawn suit is currently going through the cliffs at about 1 mph and i dont think theres anywhere deep enought to catch it when it morphs out lmao

#

So im gonna have a prawn suit thousands of miles away haha

also doubles as a flashlight if it's night

Yeah flares are underrated

broken badge
#

They do burn out, so keep more than 1 if you’ll walk around a lot

quick terrace
#

yeah I just discovered that xD

#

I was swimming when it happened so I thought it went out cause of water exposure or something

#

cause up until now I thought they were just infinite

carmine bobcat
#

i never actually used flares in SN

thorn mountain
#

does turning off your seatruck lights actually make it harder for leviathans to see you or is that just a thing every youtuber did

carmine bobcat

just to clear things up; below zero is a kind of prequel to subnautica?

wintry bone
#

no

carmine bobcat
#

because in one pda at the delta station they say that alterra has just lost Aurora

#

but this is the same planet right? and if you were determinated and game would let you do that, you could find the wreck of aurora?

tropic girder
#

No game boundaries and map s arent the same

carmine bobcat
tropic girder

yeah

#

You could

#

If the maps were connected

carmine bobcat

not after building a bulkhead but after building a hatch

imagine if you could build ur prawn like Marguerite

when I came in her base for the first time and saw it in the moonpool my first thought was "it'd be funny if I could just jump in it and steal her Prawn"

How did I find the red crystal area the first time??

And where is my seatruck

What about from the cache? That’s where my base is

I’m honestly tempted to make another Prawn just for the CC

This game is too short tbh

play slower

that's how it works

so stairs don't exist separately but they get added where necessary

Everyone on the Mercury 2 ||ended up dead||

You realize they got hit by the ||QEP coming and going, right?||

That’s my understanding of it, based on the PDAs anyway

white grove

Oooo

#

If they’d ||escaped, there wouldn’t be a wreck to find||

wintry bone
#

two of them survived that anyway this is where i start my five page essay on why the rewrite of the Mercury II is probably my least favorite part of the new story overall

broken badge
#

Never had early access, so I speak only from what was in final release, but it mentions they got hit and had to stop to make ā€œemergency repairsā€
Then they got hit again trying to leave, which again a pda mentions from the captain I think, they hoped it wouldn’t mind them leaving (but they left crew behind that were sick) but the ship wouldn’t be in 3 pieces if it wasn’t hit, with catastrophic effect. I guess if you want to say theoretically there were survivors, sure go ahead, but from a pragmatic standpoint I surely doubt anyone survived that blast to our adventure time lol

#

Yasmine has a pda but I don’t recall if the survival tale was from the first or second blast

wintry bone
#

no there is straight-up a PDA in the game that takes place after they take off
it's one of my least favorite PDAs because the PDA where they make the decision to do the emergency takeoff would've been such a good place to stop that plotline because it lets the player figure out what happened on their own
but instead they just keep it going with that last PDA that has two characters survive against all odds just to relay the obvious to the player like pls

broken badge
#

That…doesn’t even make any sense yeah

wintry bone
#

a lot of people who play BZ have likely already played SN so they'd already know how the QEP works and they'd know it's not a good idea to take off
and for people who haven't played SN it's still like. this one fella's really banking on it not happening again if they take off and the player can see for themselves how well that went just from the existence of the wrecks
and that feels like such a stronger end to me than just kind of having that plotline fizzle out with two people suggested to have still been alive

#

also back in early access the databank entries that Tom had written gave the Sol transgov more of an established identity with values and whatnot

I’m all for some suspension of disbelief that’s part of entertainment, gaming, but I think I just blanked out the part about any survivors becauseislanderbruh

I wish we could've seen reminents of the first mercury crash

Wait would that make the mercury older than the aurora crash

Because if it was shot down by the qep

#

That would mean the qep either got reactivated, or was shot down before the aurora crashed

dire minnow
#

It was around wayyyy earlier

Judging by how much rust and erosion took place on the ship I'm guessing it's been there a LONG time, also since many of the lilypads are growing on/around it

Sam's story cpuldve been good but wasnt

The fact all it was is just curing the Levi which is underwhelming and closure is lame sucked

# broken badge I’m with you up until the good intentions part

you have invoked my wrath

||at the very beginning of the story sam mentions that alterra was going to use kharaa to create bioweapons but no effort was made to ever establish this as being true, in fact it was established as being the opposite because the only plans for kharaa we ever heard about was from one of the researchers who suggested that studying kharaa could advance us by years and that it could be used for life saving treatments and genetic research. there was no moment in the entire story that would've made us go "oh my god sam was right all along!! alterra is bad!!", even though they try earlier on to hammer in "alterra bad" despite never delivering on "alterra bad". they don't even establish any of the significant Alterra personnel as being evil-natured, some of them are secretive and one of them cheats at board games, but otherwise they're all generally good people who are humanized throughout the game by means of PDAs that talk about their families and lovers, plus all their personal belongings||

I definitely don’t want to debate this like it’s an IRL thing, I have to sleep for an appt tomorrow. Do we know for sure they were going to do bad things with it? No. But mutating without having impartial oversight is not a good idea, that’s why we have IRBs for research today, it’s not perfect by any means and that’s granted only for those seeking funding doesn’t really cover corporations but I’m just saying there was plenty of reason for concern when you’ve got a company like Alterra, that based on SN1 made us question their practices, just on their own with no outside supervision handling a pathogen that nearly wiped out a more advanced species and killed untold whatever it was millions? Billions? Not gonna believe Alterra was purely seeking altruism therevvShrug I’m just not that optimistic a person
