Yes
do they breed?
Yes
epic
I use Arctic rays to fuel my bioreactor
i use uranium
They reproduce the most
In a bioreactor??
Yes
i use seaweed
Water filtration machines
@deep kettle you know anything about this Windows error @zenith tulip posted about above?
i gotta do some searching it seems
I've never tried putting uranium in a bioreactor ...
you need atomic reactor
troled
What I can find online is someone who apparently had a corrupted install on the Microsoft forums and reinstalled their application which solved it: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/all/file-system-error-2143322098-when-launching-gears/d4136e0d-88c7-46e6-91b0-70d2257b103b
They take so much energy
I thought that sounded wrong
Lmao
@zenith tulip try what Thom posted
where water filtration machine pieces
The fragments or the materials
Outpost Zero, Mercury II Bow, and The Omega Lab.
Outpost Zero is probably the safest
fragments
bruh i have to find it first
outpost zero, inside the building
bruh moment
Omega lab is the safest
You find it in the deep lily pad islands
The only danger is a squid shark
I disagree, outpost zero has literally no hostiles
and where is it
In the deep lily pad islands
You should get it after your encounter with ||Margaruite||
i think
why is the phi robotics lab the ecological dead zone?
It’s not
how do you pronounce chelicerate
keh-li-ser-ate
thank you kind stranger
no problem
ah yes kind strangers
You should hear how Jacksepticeye says Cryptosuchus
ˈkriptōsəkus probably
I'm in the phi robotics centre hiding from the random chelicerate attacks that I get when I leave
because apparently I'm in the ecological dead zone
how is there
chelicerates on air
Hello! 2 questions, in a base con i turn on/off machines? Like bioreactor?
Then is there an infinite power source? (es bioreactor or nuclear needs materials to produce energy)
its coming up from the ice
i think heat
since the geysers dont stop
the reactor you can turn off by not having fuel in it
bioreactor same thing
if you want to see it join vc and i will show via discord stream
sure
cant stream here apparantly
bru
I'm playing bz creative mode bc I'm bored
hi
kill ghost leviathan with a prawn with punch
not ghost
chelicerate
too
?
Kidnapping
🙂
lol
Was this something that occurred after they had it installed for awhile or the first time they tried to play?
hmmmmm i wonder what it is doing here
Not sure.
I simply did a quick Google on your error 🙂
🙂
The terraformer is in bz ._.
Is below zero free on games pass? Maybe my pass expired
Yes
abandon hope all ye who enter here
(yes that is a singular rockgrub)
his full name is Gilgamesh, Devourer Of Souls And Decimator Of Worlds

YO SAME!!
i normally use 1 storage, 1 fab, 1 docking, and 1 sleeper because M U S I C
The Sleeper Module is pogchamp.
i might turn my seatruck into a base eventually
like have constant supplies so i can make a base whenever needed
How do I reduce lag?
turn down graphic settings
idk then
Oh ok
Are there cuddle fish in this game?
No, but there is a different creature that works pretty much the same way
what creature?
||Trivalve||
Ok
how are you flying
The commitment to kidnapping penguins gave me the ability
You don't know that
i do
for i am a pengling myself 
but actually tho how are you flying, is that like a thing you can do in creative now or something
or does the propulsion cannon glitch still exist and you're riding on something invisible with your HUD hidden I'm completely bamboozled

Simply type "fly" into console commands and hold jump
wait really?
Do not spread false info.
The closest thing to that is the ghost command.
Hang on I'll record myself doing it
wheezes
SEE?!
idk probably for a long time
Well, I apologize then.
i know it exists i just never use it lol
Now i never have a reason to play it again lol
got none
The terraformer still exists
It still doesn't work tho :(
Also the medkit fabricator and seamoth are in the game
That's what a person with secrets would say.
what, how
unlock medicalcabinet
spawn seamoth
do they work
like the same in the first game?
Yes
The seamoth doesn't dock with moonpools tho
It also doesn't have a texture
black and pink texture?
No just a weird shiny white texture
interesting
Probably because they're not meant to be obtained in the game through normal means.
does this exist in SN1 or is it just a BZ feature?
cause if it's in the original Subnautica I am gonna yeet my computer out the window
i dunno i haven't looked at SN in 80 years
can't remember if they ported any of BZ's commands over yet
I'm checking this right now
ok it's not in the original
my abuse of the propulsion cannon glitch in creative was not in vain
I'm still scared of chelicerates so I'm gonna try to get over it by going into the purple area
Pffft 80 years.
Ghost time is way faster than that.
Subnautica's better imo
then why are you an arctic peeper
Bc Christmas
That's fair.
Bz is euro store Subnautica
Honestly if they didn't throw the story that was actually pretty good out of the window and made it barely comprehensible, meanwhile cutting out all the cool stuff it would've been just as good, if not better than the original game
They changed the story because of criticism iirc.
I heard they changed it bc of too much dialogue
Then they added even more dialogue

it was not because of too much dialogue lol
I found a lot of different reasons why it was changed but i liked the old story so much better
i like the dialogue in BZ
||hearing Al-An be confused about basic human things and slowly understanding was really cool imo||
They changed the old story because it didnt reflect the "subnautica feel" they were trying to get. I assume it felt way too story driven and not enough like a "survival by your wits" game
that makes sense
They wanted to keep the sense of exploration and survival rather than have it become an rpg like the original story
the original story did not feel like an RPG lol
i honestly dislike it when there’s a game that’s heavily based on exploring, then a sequel that’s so story driven it feels so little like exploration
i know… wait… what games are there like that
Maybe it felt too civilized. There was no human presence in the original so they wanted to keep it that way. In the original you were stranded on the planet because everyone else just kinda left.
The new story shows signs of humans, but all the bases are abandoned (like the original with Torgal's bases)
i thought at the point if the first game, people hadn’t even explored the planet yet
and that’s why there’s no human
And they were trying to make alterra out to be villainous, so having the main character work for alterra probably messed with their ideas.
honestly Alterra felt way more villainous in the old story than the new story
not that they really. were all that villainous feeling to begin with
They literally couldnt logically do that again. Now that the planet HAD been explored, it is only logical for alterra to send more people there to take advantage of its resources and explore it (Ryley did find at least 1 trillion credits worth of resources there). So they did the next best thing they could logically do and made the human settlement abandoned.
They are the stereotypical power-hungry sci fi corporation. Like BnL or the RDA or something.
i disagree, listening to all of sam’s logs and a lot of alterra employee logs. it seems like alterra is actually bad
literally nothing that Sam says is ever justified in the rest of the game
there is not a single moment where the player goes "oh my god sam was right about alterra all along" it's straight-up the opposite
They want to become more powerful at all costs. Thats why they didnt want the leviathan to be destroyed, Because they thought that having access to Khaara could make them more powerful
yeah don’t listen to me
i misinterpreted what you said, when you said “original” i thought you were referring to the first game
imagine just chilling on an floe and this weird monkey-shaped animal descends out of the sky, stick you and 3 of your siblings in its massive pockets, and flies away with you
they said something about wanting to possibly use it for biological weapons or something
that was one of Sam's assumptions that was never backed up
I think that also makes the world feel less explorable, being cut off entirely from the starting area.
The fact that alterra blocked the area off hints at the fact that they dont want Sam researching their potential bioweapon and killing it. I think there is reference of her trying to get an antidote?
they blocked the area off because it's a dangerous area where you have to be cautious and Sam wasn't authorized to be there
I do wish that bz was less story driven tho
Possibly
Maybe because they dont want to be held liable for her death
i mean i'm pretty sure most companies don't want unauthorized randos waltzing right into dangerous places
it was more the fact that they knew they could use it for money
they told sam to stop and they knew how deadly karaa is… and no one else was working on it
Ryley had found a cure yet they didnt use it
ofc Alterra didn't use the cure, they wanted to research the bacterium, that doesn't work when you kill the bacterium
unless you mean Sam didn't use it
I assume he (or the data he collected) made it back to alterra because they somehow knew that it was safe to return despite multiple ships going down near it (I believe 4 at least, including one of their own)
^Which was probably trillions wasted when aurora crashed
The only reason they would have risked sending more ships is if they knew it was safe
unused databank written by the original writer suggested that Ryley traded all his data for entry and a comfy position at Alterra
I also dont think it is possible for ryley to have returned to 4546b since the neptune was ai piloted and specifically designed to take crash survivors back to alterra
I feel like they could've just stolen the data right off his PDA and not had to compensate him
Yes
well they didn't so lol
I think he would have been promoted or something maybe since he discovered an extremely advanced alien race and opened up a resource-rich planet to alterra.
And the seamoth inventor is a member of the alterra board, so I think that this is entirely reasonable.
are you implying that he is that person?
Fairly sure it was the person who wrote the code that let the Seamoth function in space not inventor
i would say impossible
PDA at the start of the original game said something like the fabricator uses scanning technology to find recipes with local materials
I mean that opening up a whole new planet and discovering hyper-advanced alien tech is a logical reason to be promoted
that does seem reasonable to me
it's like nobody read this
if it's unused it isn't canon though right
i did, i just don’t know what to reply with without sounding dumb
meh
i just accept it as canon since the new writers didn't do anything to undo any of it
The seamoth can be found in and around the aurora, meaning that the pda did not create it from environment scans. Alterra already had it. The only way for ryley to be the inventor is if he got demoted from one of the leaders of the one of the biggest transgovs in the galaxy to a janitor on a construction ship.
honestly if somebody were to ask Tom what happened to Ryley those databanks are probably what he'd reference anyway
It is logical but Alterra is an uncaring megacorporation, I don't feel like they would just promote someone out of gratitude if they didn't have to
that’s what i mean, alterra already had the blueprint, pda just modified the blueprint’s materials so it’s craftable
plus i doubt we will ever hear about Ryley ever again lol
The fact that they promoted the inventor of the seamoth is proof that achieving a big accomplishment can indeed get you promoted
Yes
He could have just withheld his product until he was promoted though
The PDA used the lifepod's scans of the surrounding resources to figure out how they could create a seamoth from them
True
And ryley probably sold his data to get back into alterra in the first place

ok
So the guy who figured out how to use them in space
Thats even less of an accomplishment than inventing them.
I would argue it's a bigger one
when the Seamoth was invented it was just an ocean vehicle
after that code you can use it in space
lot more space than ocean planets
So, I'm trying to go to the crystal caves right?
My original thought was that he invented it as both a sea and space vehicle from the start
Is there like, an easy way of scanning this Shadow leviathan?
Heck logically speaking, the only way it is physically possible for a water vehicle to operate in space is if it was designed specifically to do so in the first place
Water and space are enormously different mediums that need entirely different features to traverse.
Just changing the code is not enough

could have been altering the code of the fabricator to make adjustments to what it makes
the bz soundtrack has no right being this good
true
it gud
To be fair, Ben Prunty did a great job imo.
its not an opinion, its a fact
That's fair.
I have made it to the crystal caves
Without spoilers how do I progress the Alan storyline? I've been to all 5 locals he directed me to as well as the cache and I've found the organ blueprint but don't know what to do next
||there are other artefacts and body parts hidden around the world to find||
If you keep scanning artifacts they should give you hints on biomes to go to for the other ||body parts||
no direct signals though like the ||skeleton||
^
where do I find Lithium
Funny pink thing biom
||glacial spires?||
If its pink, lithium you will find
what does it look like
Literally anywhere thats pink basically
how deep/far?
100 one pls
and what direction
?
Wait it says I gotta ||refill the bridge with Hydraulic Fluid||
pls help
:<
what direction??
To Lithium? about southeast of the pod, or just go to Delta and then go west
ok
Ive tried to get gold for so long
How do I get to the vent garden biome
So you know the Delta Station?
Go to the West Arctic on the west side of the map and then go down until you hit the void. Then go east to get to the Ventgarden without Chelicerates
Go behind the delta station dock island there will be a drop, that is where you will find the vent garden, beware of chelicerates
So what direction from the dock, South,North,west or east
I can link you a video if you want
Once you get to the actual dock
Turn left and go around the island, stay on the wall
Then if you look down when you get behind the island, you should see a drop and there will be your vent garden
Sorry if I'm not the best advice.
Yeahhh
When he grabs you, use the defense mechanism
A chelicerate lives there, so beware
As you can see
Ok I escaped
Nice
Any ion cube generators?
There is no ion cube generator, but there are 93 cubes in one world so that should be enough
Ok
ion cube generator?
like an ore deposit?
I hate the arctic spires
that is not what mods do. don't tag
Can I like not need ion cubes for ion batteries?
Because I hate the arctic spires, even at night
And day
only with cheat codes. like nocost
Ok then, I'll go through the arctic spires because cheats are bad in this world
Some day I'll get my revenge
Luckily my game saved before that happened
f
Who wants me to make a base near the ||dead ice worm||?
Hmm
I made a crazy base in the spires, and the worm avoided it. Not sure if legit, but if so, it's much better than thumper
i tried to do that, then it ate me😭
If you have the reinforced dive suit, it 3 shots you
ohh good to know
So you have time to scan it, get bit, then chase after it to scan it again
i’ll try that
Because it runs away when it bites you, so you gotta chase it either down into the caves, or up into the caves.
hmm okay
Though, you need to be full health to be 3 shot, so you also have to dodge a little bit, he turns decently fast so you gotta weave em.
im relatively good at dodging, one time i almost got it scanned😭😭
Then you should be good, that's what I did with the Chelicerate. I scanned the Shadow leviathan right before I beat the game, that was my main goal.
i rushed the game the first time i played it, now i’m actually building a base and all that stuff and realized i missed a lot of pdas and voice lines😭😭
I love the voice lines and pdas.
i love how you can see the improvements from the first game. i can’t wait for the 3rd if there’s going to be one
True, it'd be fun, though, there were only about, 3 species of Hostile Leviathans, 100% less than the first game.
true, but i think there was a lot more map to work with in the first game. it would have been cool to see more leviathans
Devs have said that they want to return to the Subnautica series in the future, but that won't be for a while.
yeah i saw somewhere they said there was gonna be a third
I wish even if they were to be reskins, at least bring back the Reaper, or an actic Varient.
i’m excited to see the new game they are working on
yess that would be awesome
Honestly, the ghost leviathan should have came back for the void.
I assume, hopefully every future subnautica game will have the void.
i hope the third game follows the end of the below zero story ||onto the architect home planet ||
That would be cool.
the end sequence looked so beautiful i hope we get to see more😭
True statement
I would love multi player for the 3rd game
Is it possible to connect the control room to my base with a L compartment?
Because it’s not letting me
One of the curved pieces?
Probably doesn’t allow enough room between the base room itself and the control room if I’m picturing it correctly in my mind
I places the straight one then I tried to put the control room there but it didn’t work
Oh that’s good I hope it’ll work now
IT WORKED
Nice
what is your favourite feesh
mine is like the pfp of this server
how long does the spicy fruit salad last?
Forever.
ok thats nice
how do i interact with the ||trivalve||?
how deep is the architect body fragment in deep lilypad caves?
ok, i was making sure i can go there with my 700m prawn
I think so
ok)
Yes
The parents didn't even care either
is it possible to recharge the tether tool
new battery?
it uses an ion cube but is it possible to recharge it
recharge the ion cube?
i doubt it
um but can you?
is it possible to
like 100% sure
does making the used ion cube into an ion battery and then turning it back still work
why cant I pick up the kharaa antidote??
Use spoiler warning
|||your spy penguin could have full stroage|||
oops sry
how do I use it tho
||| and that at the end of the message
||| my pengling doesnt have full storage||
@shy sphinx the ||| kharaa antidote ||| isnt even there
I scanned a shrimp and it was just chill
|||your at the wrong pengling area then, follow the map in sams room (you cane scan it im pretty sure) to the pengling with the red circle|||
||| I am at the pengling cave where it should be but there is just the box and no antidote |||
Why can you craft the antidote?
what if i build alan before i have scanned all artifacts?
You can scan them before you leave
He tells you to finish any business you have on the planet
and what if i dont
How many fevered Pepper can a fevered Pepper tree produce?
Nothing happens
You just leave as normal
How many fevered Pepper can a fevered Pepper tree produce?
Any good suggestions for a main base? With lots of space and low threat. I am finding it difficult to actually find a place for one. Heh.
How many fevered Pepper can a fevered Pepper tree produce?
Void, u won't
You're right, I won't
How many fevered Pepper can a fevered Pepper tree produce?
If you want LOW threat, but still a little bit of threat, you can do it beside the Delta station dock, or you can do it where all the eyeball jellyfish are |on your way to the iceworm area|
Eh, was trying to spoiler it but that's not really a spoiler, is it?
||
||
The eyeball jellyfish biome, that's what I'm calling it, it has no threats.
Low threat is fine. As long as it can't, you know, destroy the base. Lol. Which I'm not sure if anything actually can.
Void Chelicerates can't. So you would assume all others can't.
I'm planning to build a base in the Crystal Caves.
How many fevered Pepper can a fevered Pepper tree produce?
eh? 5-6 at a time. They grow back.
@eternal garnet infinite?
I have to replant the thing?
no
In a growbed or pot, yes.
plant,. not replant.
potato is the same, and preston fruit too. And the nut plant. it's nice
Same thing.
So I have to plant 1 time?
They bring fruit forever. No replanting.
And it grows infinite peppers? Or it has a limit and I have to take them out in order to the plant grow more fruits
how many times will you ask the same question? Infinite.
This is why I like it as biofuel
Did you ever install mods? Are you on steam?
xbox no mods
i found some magnetite
Wait... are you playing on Xbox or on PC?
@sinful drum ??
yoooooo
I Iz Heres ....
and about to jump in and get some sub on
in holes going down in crystal caves
I'd load a save. Save often
yes there are caves clearly made for mining
...
Either way, save often.
anyone have acurate map of biomes
right
the red crystals below it
deepest biome
i think its this one
Architects LFO Artefact
oh never mind
i was thinking abaut skeleton
and its not even this one
its still the place im showing you
same here but purple vents biome you mean?
deep one?
go to this artefact i shown screenshot of
w8 wut
i dont know what is that but deep purple vents are over there
organs may be on land
im actually heading there
i can send you pic of entrence
yes
the kyanite place, theres also magnesium and nikiel
nickle
i dont know how to type it
@carmine bobcat
not sure, but i think u can use them for the teleported module on the seatruck
try the big jellyfish lookin leviathans idk what they r called but they aren’t hostile
you can also try near the entrance to where the shadow leviathan is
theyre called the ventgarden and they look like this
good that im actually near them
yh that’s wut i’m talking abt
u need to use ur knife to harvest it, then i’d suggest planting it for an infinite supply
These are also in the Deep Purple Vents.
Not many people know that
Hey
Wut?
When you turn your camera it getd blurry
You can turn it off.
Can i?
Yeah.
finally

I was today years old when I discovered I can take screenshots with my cam drone
i was today years old when i found out you could screenshot
Which system are you using?
You can take a screenshot anywhere.
Woo! I just beat below zero!

What does the water filtration Suit do?
It recycles Robin's body fluids and deposits "reclaimed water" in your inventory now and then, if there's room
Cool
It will not sustain your water level by itself but it will help
why is everything highlighted in orange?
I've seen this kind of thing a few times
it's an accessibility option
what's it for though?
things you can interact with
you can change the color i think
the fact that it's highlighted at all just looks strange to me
If i make ion powercells will the moonpool charge them when they get low or do i have to do some thing else to recharge them
how do i see the round temperature when i'm not in a vehicle?
The Temperature Gauge swaps places with the Oxygen meter when you are in a vehicle, base, or on land. The Oxygen meters swaps back when you're underwater.
If i make ion powercells will the moonpool charge them when they get low or do i have to do some thing else to recharge them
no i mean the "20*C" label, that appears driving vehicles, if is there a way to show with no vehicles
hey can somone tell me if he had the same problem i fall throug the delta station island each time i try to reach the antenna
this beast terrified me as i was hunting for lithium, its a hardcore world, and since i was at about 65 health, one attack would have killed me, fortunately, my air bladder had saved my bacon. would have erased over 3 hours of work
you what? Save 4 times an hour
There is a power cell charger you can find it and scan it a few places or you can charge ion power cells in moonpool by swapping them out inside a seatruck or prawn (docked)
No, because when Robin isn’t inside a vehicle she has an oxygen meter and I’m not sure what it’s called but it’s some sort of thermal/vitality measure which if she’s exposed to cold temps too long it’ll drop dangerously low, she develops hypothermia & eventually she’ll die if you don’t intervene to warm her up somehow. The temperature gauge is part of the vehicles themselves.
he just said it was hardcore
oh. Hardcore is illogical, captain
@broken badge Thank you
Np👍
Iirc Omega & Phi have a power cell charger, might be others I’m forgetting but those do for sure
Outpost Zero might have one too
Ok
I'll have to try and find that
the first base I found was Delta Station with the tower, then ||Marguerite's base||, then Omega Lab, then Phi Robotics Center, then ||Marguerite's greenhouse||
just have Outpost Zero left now
oh yeah somewhere in there I also found ||Parvan's Bunker and the Frozen Leviathan site, as well as Koppa Mining site||
not santa's workshop?
what
BZ Christmas Update when?
What dose the ion power cell do?
like the power cell, but 5x more power
Oh ok thaniks
Plus... they look cooler.
Can someone help me?
I played the original subnautica so i understand most if not all in the game with mechanics etc but i dont know how to progress the story right now, i went to the alien thing got allen in my head found 1 of the things he needs for his body (ithink) and have been to the delta station/radio tower, but now i only have a marker for Last Unknown Pilot Location, or something but i cant really get there yet with my seatruck..
Can i trigger a new new story component by crafting a rebreather?
no... exploring basically triggers some hints, but you aren't told where everything is
Weird, i cant enable console, have there been any changes?
yes, it's shift-enter now. If you use Qmodmanager, update it
man gel sacks and spiral plants are so annoying to find
had to check the wiki after hours of serching manually
Plant them also gave gives clues
U find ||frozen leviathan pickup the synthetic fibre the game gives u a clue||
am i the only person who realized that the reflection of the big aquarium in a large room is the inside of a cyclops
yo is there any requirement for building the snowfox or any ground area is OK?
flat, and not anywhere the game hates for some reason
does anyone know any mods that make seatruck modules not slow your seatruck down 💀
i forgor 💀
the horsepower upgrade reduces the slowdown, but not entirely
poofs it? the void chelicerate can do that
wym
- poof *
so no slowdown?
no, it goes poof
||poof||
hm
in a sad little dust cloud
i just want a mod that removes the slowdown
cuz i just have too many modules for storing my stolen children penglings
if you find it dm me ze link
wait what did Robin eject from at the beginning of the game?
Dude I need subnautica below zero to be two player
has anyone else noticed the massive similarities with ||snow stalkers|| and stalkers from the first game?
you can both feed them fish for metal salvage, and they both look surprisingly similar for a land and water creature comparison
don’t know where you found that
but i basically accidentally discovered it on my own
it's the databank entry for the snow stalker lol
i haven’t scanned it🗿
i haven’t been scanning much lately…
maybe now that i’ve beaten the game, i’m just gonna scan everything
haha yes
||so what was the point of propulsion canon in this one 🤔 ||
fun
Phi robotics center has a blocked off area with like 20 supply boxes with pdas and you need the propulsion cannon for that
yo guys who the **** is that spiritual guy talking to me
||alan||
Thank you Donya.
I wanted to ask if there is a way for me to exit my seatruck sleeper module or if I can escape it in some way cause I am currently stuck in it due to me dying inside and dropping a beacon when I died and it has blocked me off from using the exit door and the actual seatruck itself was destroyed by a chelcite so I am kinda stuck in a death loop at the moment
have you saved since that happened?
if yes, have fun restarting
Muscle memory messed me over and I saved instead of quitting out
have fun restarting 
Thaaaaanks
Is there any sort of information on the status of the Aurora in this game? I'm sure it would be hard to avoid wondering about the huge crashed ship leaking radiation and debris everywhere.
There is a PDA in the mine that has some story about it
hello
Damn I have sent over 72 pages of text
That’s like 1000 messages or something
Actually
There is an aurora news PDA inside one of the kelp caves
I found it on accident
What’s that
cut content 😔
Damn that sucks
I thought ever since I left for nearly an year that they added a Lot of things
insert generic angry rant about how the cyclops should have never been cut from BZ
tbf the map is small compared to the previous game's
Yeah, try navigating the shallow and narrow map using a huge vehicle
but the hovercraft's absence was a true disappointment because it can traverse land and sea
that looks like land to me
not seeing a lot of sea
It should camoflauge like a still ice shelf with pengwings and penglings ontop of it
And when you disturb it it move
That’s kinda cool
that would be a cool opening cutscene like the ice worm
Its the reefback of ice
you try to walk to a small geyser and the ice falls off revealing a reefback
In your guys’ opinion which game was better
Subnautica for gameplay and features
man this question really comes up every day huh
Below zero for design, scarceness of bugs, interesting story
they should just make a subnautica-is-better-than-bz-rants channel
Subnautica has alot, and i mean alot of bugs
subnautica has more of a horror factor and (debatably) a better story
Subnautica also is a very expansive map, making cyclops travel possible, but making it all very detailed extremely hard
i just wish the protagonist wasnt so talkative
I’m kinda in the middle like bz has a nice story and good gameplay but subnautica has many more memories and nostalgia and I liked the game in general
On the other hand, below zero is a very small map, so it was very easy for the devs to make all of the stuff very detailed
tbh i liked the older storyline of bz better
will never understand why horror is an important factor for some people in a series that isn't even in the horror genre
and the PDA has that bri'ish accent
Below zero has a number quality of life features, features in general and soo much less bugs
So if youre comparing bz with subnautica, youre dumb
Thats my point
the dialogue though is a major factor for me
the protagonist is annoyingly chatty and the PDA tries too hard to be funny
bz and subnautica are both good games in their own aspects and they are both part of the series in the end.
THIS
Im not saying one is better than the other, and people comparing both is like comparing minecraft bedrock edtion with minecraft java edition.
like bz has a few good things, the og subanutica also has a few good things its like just enjoy it as much as possible ig at this point
BZ's PDA voice came from a text to speech AI

Yeah, like clearly Java is better but still
i liked the addition of the blueprint pin in BZ
Wow.
YES
Very nice
if you go to r/subnautica every 2 posts there is a rant about the PDA voice
Seriously, peoples brains are too smol to comprehend that both games are good in their own ways
lol i dont find it very annoying tbh
also i liked not having to install a mod to seperate the map and light switch on my seaglide
so did the original SN's PDA voice lol
Like subnautica is like a pool of bugs, and below zero is like someone threw pool salt into the pool and killed all the bugs
Subnautica has the originality of both gameplay and worldbuilding
BZ improved on it in many ways
Yeah maybe
i didnt actl get many bugs in either version so im pretty fine with that
Subnautica has better story and exploration
BZ has better overall gameplay and building
^
Jukebox is nice
although i wish the partition walls werent so finicky
I can literally list what subnautica has and below zero doesnt, and vice versa
better exploration
eh
Also subnautica always has the advantage of being the first game to terrify you with big fish
In the truck it’s even better
fun fact: you can add custom songs to the jukebox
Game files I’m guessing
the good thing abt bz i thought was the first that there is actl a new interactable person (Maida and the Architect) and then the ore finding is much easier since its also a much smaller map which is pog cos i couldnt find 5 pieces of silver in subnautica
dont open a new can of worms with maida
L E A D
sweats
Who’s maida again
the seabase woman
the degasi woman
The Margaret one
ye
mm the one with cool prawn suit that we cant build sadly
when i realized that paul torgal voices like 5 other characters in subnautica my mind was blown
The one with spikes n stuff right
Subnautica: has tons of bugs
Bz: little to none bugs
Subnautica: very hard
Bz: quality of life improvements
Subnautica: very expansive
Bz: very smol
Subnautica: has a multitude of very big biomes due to its map size
Bz: moderately large biomes due to its small map size
Subnautica: not very good texture design due to its map size
Bz: extremely accurate texture design due to its smol map size
Subnautica: multitude of fish species
Bz: a little less fish species because of its smol map size
Subnautica: longer story
Bz: shorter story
I like that in BZ you actually have a character other than just "the player"
Those QOL improvements are going to be added to the base game soon
BZ is wobbling around a very thin line between too silent, fair, and annoying
pwobabwy
Y remove the r
i miss the old beginning to BZ honestly it made more sense
BZ and SN actually almost have the same amount of fish
i liked the whole cannon sequence and the the exploration of base part of subnautica
a little less fish
I didnt say a drastically less amount of fish
There are so many fish in subnautica
like makes the player know what actually happened to the planet and how you landed there
subnautica has the hoverfish and that makes it better
also no more cuddlefish
Funny hoverfish

squidsharks basically the same thing as cuddlefish
i dont mind the cuddlefish being gone it gave me the creeps
LOL
As you can see, almost all if not every con and pro is related to both games map size
one is friendly, one isnt
Nostalgia is also a big factor
Depending on the person
Yeah cuddlefish aggressive af
👀
the squid shark is cuter
Its like people are so attached to subnautica lol
it was a good game doe
subnautica has only been officialy out for 3 years
Yeah
I played bz first before subnautica, and i experienced the same amount of enjoyment lmao
lmao
I somehow played it much before then
but if you count since it was first released in early acess subnautica's been around for 7
So its a factor of people being attached to one game
I would venture to say that BZ is better in almost every way other than originality and nostalgia
Yes
And it is a bit smaller
can you hear the drums? thats the sound of the subnautica fanboys marching toward your house
i played bz more than subnautica cos it was actl easier to survive and its faster to get materials
Ik it's coming
Yeah kinda
So conclusion is, people who say subnautica is better than bz is biased
Both games are equally good
^
i would say they're equal but i like subnautica more
Meh, i like bz more
But that makes it boring. More risk is fun
Playing BZ before subnautica kinda cursed ngl
Probably because i played bz first but yknow
ye tru but eh at least I dont die every 5 minutes
52% 48% nearly balanced
I bought the newest one first
the most fun i've ever had in bz was just building a huge airbase in creative because i got bored of the early game
I have a large room with 4 bioreactors
If that happens to you, then I'm pretty sure it isn't the game's fault.
I don't have to make 4 multipurpose rooms now
i wish there were large room mods for subnautica
Large room is the best addition lol
And the extra windows too
ye ik but eh was a lil too hard for me obvi i aint a gamer but ye it isnt the game's fault but ye anyways I didnt survive very long cos i couldnt find materials but ye i am bad at games wont deny that lol
i hate the partition walls because of how hard it is to get them to go where you want them
I tend to make utilitarian bases
i wish they gave prawny boy more voicelines in BZ
they just made his legs sound crunchier
He's so speedy
he has my favorite AI voice in both games even though he only has one line
I wish they would nerf that to be honest to encourage thumper use
Would make that area more tense
i think BZ is better because it made this happen and that's all that really matters
Ok I’m back
i think they made the james bond penguin sound a little too corny to be believably intended
hey what's up
nothing much
My pc is at service just because I want to play subnautica
Bz and original
A very good investment
It’s at service because my gpu kept overheating
I’m gonna fix my power supply and boom
step 1. walk into best buy step 2. casually grab computer step 3. throw a smoke grenade at the entrance and make a run for it step 4. play subnautica
Will try that with a 3090
if the smoke grenade fails pull out your .357 magnum and fire a few warning shots at the clerks chest





||where do I go to build Al en body?||
your local precursor auto shop
down to about 900-1000m
Deep in the crystal caves
Fabricator caves
in the red crystal caves
?
Crystal caves
basically down from maidas base
I'm confused I'm in crystal castle
further past that
Deeper when you see red crystals
there will be red crystals
Wich exit from crystal cave should I take
lemme send a map
I don't love it down there
jus keep finding a way down ig
once the crystals turn red, u in the right place
gonna look smt like this
also if u r going to the fabricator caverns pls make sure u have all the items needed to craft it before u have to go back to base and start getting supplies
Lol I was so close
Yeay
I have everything
Eh
I have a crystal caves outpost in a very strategic position so i can retreat there
So im not scared of crystal caves anymore
Imagine they remove the perimeter defense from the game
me who built a base made out of almost entirely of glass to tease the shadow levi
lol GG
Yeah some guy told me about them and I didn’t believe him so guess what happened when they randomly spawned right in front of me 🤨
I just recently added a glass dome to my outpost
noicwe
Also, im really amazed that my outpost is powered by 1 thermal reactor
The thermal vents down there do like 120+ heat
Nice
imagine
I didn't even know there were thermal vents down there
There are
Its somewhere near the seabed of the arch
Theres also some in the fissures
Sheesh
i have 1 day, 4 hours… 🗿
Pog
Is there going to be a third game?
In a long time but idk
I needed reinforcements
I used to build lead platforms just to deal with integrity
Only 18?
is 23 a lot or not a lot
I only had 17 on my old world and I beat the game
I have I think 12 on my current one and I haven't focused too much on the story but still have completed most of it
I need one more of Alan's body pieces which is in the CC
But of course I'm going to build a void base first because like why wouldn't I
i have 307 hours…
I highly doubt it
bruh
I have 995.
995.7 to be exact. Steam is rounding it to 996 hours.
cries in 5 days
You act like a message from a few hours ago is gonna stop me?
yes, it will stop you
what the hell is that?
Idk
thats sad <:(
30 hours on my last fallout save.
On one save?
I find that extremely unlikely my friend.
I have almost 40 hours on my Destiny 2 character
I have thousands of hours in total on fallout 4.
@plush coral nice kiggy cat
I have 6.
Nice kiggy cats
Kitty*
same thing
why is he so mad
How old are you.
i finally have power cell recharger
i forgor
What the
Hmmm
That's fine by me
Soo
Unfortunately
Stasis rifle was removed
Why my leviathan killing tool destroyed
I think I. The other cave connected to it you can
I only started last week
Why is the kharaa antidote box empty?? Do I have to do something before it spawns?
no... you allegedly took it already. If not, check if you have its recipe
I havent
if you are on steam, I can help reset that chunk which will return the item
yes. "item frozencreatureantidote"
true.
Alternative: go into the savegame and delete a file. Should be in here C:\Users[user]\AppData\LocalLow\Unknown Worlds\Subnautica Below Zero\SubnauticaBelowZero\SavedGames
Delete: CellsCache\baked-batch-cells-4-19-5.bin
Then load save.
no, that resets the cure chunk without cheating
a playtester in here can do it. Manually. You'd have to send the savegame
savefile hacking
ok
Some can prob. do it for their own use
he would save you in desperate need, and if he wants to
So no.
Can you get snow stalker fur from the babies?
I don't know. Do you know the easy way to get it?
There are two ways. finding it loose in certain caves is not the easy way
Nickel in this game isn't the best item you can cheat. (Few recipes using it and you'll find nickel easily in Deep Lilypads.)
Lead would be more useful.
I found some in a cave but then I died and lost all of it
yes
