[modest fable]

The Shadow Leviathan placement in this game is just plain unfair when compared to other Leviathans in the franchise

[sand plank]

i know its gonna be aids getting to the fabrication facility simply because of the shadow leviathan

i think i made it halfway to the fabrication facility before my seatruck couldnt go any farther

[carmine bobcat]

Shoot it

[sand plank]

i am about to do one more upgrade, can the seatruck with mkIII depth make it to the facility even? or am i just wasting my time

[narrow cove]

Yep. And the temperature thing. And lack of cyclops and the fact that u need a module if u want a fabricator! Like wtf, in the cyclops u can just build one in on a wall. Not in bz tho, not with the seatruck. Here u need a special module u need to search for, for hours.

[sand plank]

i have all the modules for the seatruck except for the aquarium which ill never use anyways

ill hop in vc and stream my progress so far

[narrow cove]

And who's idea was it to have terrestrial leviathan?? Like in subnautica Islands were like the safe heaven. Floating island was paradise. Here u can't even walk a little cause a giant worm swallow u whole

[carmine bobcat]

Wait what.

OH the ice worm

💀

[sand plank]

and the ice worms havent been an issue for me at all, its more me being scared of them than them actually doing damage to me

they hardly bother me

I play cod so my movement is too good for them

[carmine bobcat]

thermal lilys r so pretty

Id pay for thermal lily merch

Like a hair clip or sum

[sand plank]

yes they are dope

but have you seen a baby sea monkey

[keen timber]

pretty much

[carmine bobcat]

YES

i have a picture of one

its like my deafault image

for when i place the image thing in my base

[sand plank]

i have one in an aquarium and it will stay a baby since i put it in the aquarium instead of the alien containment

[carmine bobcat]

!!

[modest fable]

As I said, Marg's quest originally had more importance, but it was cut when the story was reworked halfway through early access

Now it's just a side quest for extra loot and lore

[warped hinge]

Speaking of Shadow Leviathans, they are weird

[sand plank]

i hate them

[carmine bobcat]

How to get to the top of the delta station

[sand plank]

what do you mean

[carmine bobcat]

to the base

[sand plank]

you just go through the paths and when you see the base, across from it there is a tower

[warped hinge]

I had one today who couldn't get to me because I was behind some crystals, so it tried to chew its way through the crystals

[sand plank]

we can vc and ill show you

[carmine bobcat]

😭 but i dont ive been travling thru these caves

[warped hinge]

which is weird, because the crystals aren't a destructible object, far as I know

[sand plank]

im in public voice chat

[carmine bobcat]

oh ok one moment

[warped hinge]

but it was definitely attacking the crystals, you could hear it

[modest fable]

Why do Shadow Leviathans spit acid when they have so many mandibles and teeth? Surely they do enough damage already.

[warped hinge]

Eh, their attack frequency was lowered

And they're fairly slow too, faster than a Sea Dragon perhaps, but much slower than a Ghost

It takes them a decent amount of time to cover their full patrol routes

@modest fableI don't think I'm ever coming back to Below Zero after I finish the full survival mode story, unlike Subnautica

They haven't fixed the Prawn Suit Jump Jet glitch which is absolutely ancient now, and it is still a huge issue

meanwhile, in Subnautica, the Prawn Suit does not have such an issue

[modest fable]

I occasionally enjoy doing some basebuilding in Below Zero, but I don't think it's world is as good as Subnautica's.

Hell, a lot of it's just empty or obviously rushed.

I do like some of the biomes though. Finally seeing the Twisty Bridges after being teased by its concept art for years is a good feeling.

[warped hinge]

I mean, it's not just the world building or lack thereof in some places that I take issue with. It has some critical issues like the Prawn Suit Jump Jet glitch, among other things, as well as QoL issues like certain Sea Truck Modules taking damage when you gently attach them to the Seatruck itself.

[modest fable]

Oh yeah, I don't like the Seatruck either. It's probably the main reason I'm not interested in a full playthrough.

[warped hinge]

For things I do like, the Seatruck is nice, it's different, but it no longer has a Rear View Mirror like it used to have, and it has no cameras, so it has a VERY limited field of view, it's actually slower than the Cyclops somehow, even with the horsepower module, at a smaller size, and it's very hard to maneuver because you can't see what you're doing. I do like Ben Prunty's score, it's pretty good. Unfortunately, while some songs in Below Zero's soundtrack are absolute bangers, absolutely great and catchy/memorable songs, Below Zero's soundtrack will never be Simon's Subnautica soundtrack, which is THE sound of Subnautica, particularly some of the first few tracks in it

[modest fable]

I 100% agree with the soundtrack part.

[warped hinge]

Into The Unknown is one of the most iconic tracks from original Subnautica, and there's NOTHING like it, I tell you, NOTHING like it in Below Zero's soundtrack

And you know what's even more regrettable? The night skies in Below Zero are FAR more beautiful than those of Subnautica, but Below Zero doesn't have any track to accompany them like Subnautica's Sun and Moons

[spice seal]

Yeah, shame Simon turned out to be a racist and got fired

[quick terrace]

wait he did?

[spice seal]

yeah someone on twitter found a deleted tweet of theirs where they said something about games having a "diversity slider" where as you increase diversity you make skin tone darker, or something like that

[quick terrace]

seems like a dumb reason to flag someone

[spice seal]

Well it was twitter so there was a bunch of people angry about it and angry at UWE for keeping them on the dev team after they tweeted that

[quick terrace]

yep sounds like twitter

[quick terrace]

although this is true, I gotta admit I think I like BZ's soundtrack as a whole even better than Subnautica's, the music is just so well made and I love it

my favourite soundtrack is still Lava Castle from the OG Subnautica

nothing compares with the ominous feeling you get from that one

[plain blade]

That was not the only issue.

There was a lot more than just one tweet

[sand plank]

💀

[plain blade]

There were quite a few that were hateful

[spice seal]

I think it was the tweet that Simon was replying to (it was from someone at UWE) that got deleted

[plain blade]

It's not really a matter for discussion here

We don't allow bigotry

So no

Drop it

[vapid kestrel]

Personally I think both artists did great on each of the games soundtracks, the Subnautica soundtrack feels more ominous and eerie, while the Below Zero soundtrack feels like it is welcoming you into the unknown

[warped hinge]

Yes, indeed, this is not a place for any kind of serious discussion, even around legitimate topics. The mods will not allow it but it's not even their decision anyways, it comes from the likes of Donya herself. Subnautica (Official) is for game topics only

[spice seal]

#off-topic isn't game topics only

[warped hinge]

No, for most intents and purposes it is

[spice seal]

no decoy said drop it

[warped hinge]

They don't want any type of discussion on either anything that could reflect on them poorly (a sensible decision, considering if they came across as bigoted, even unintentionally, many people would demand that everyone at UWE resign, boycott UWE, or worse), or controversial subjects that could tend to breed or reveal bigoted opinions. As such, all channels in this discord server are strictly non-IRL discussion, except for offtopic, which allows some with heavy moderation and strict limits

I think it's a reasonable request

[plain blade]

We allow some irl discussion in #off-topic but that line of conversation was only going to end up going downhill

[quick terrace]

BZ has some eerie ones as well

like the beginning of the Tree Spires and the ||Fabricator Caverns|| music

[vapid kestrel]

I think the Tree Spires has some of the scariest music in the game

[quick terrace]

and then it somehow turns into majestic music

I will never know how that was accomplished lol

[warped hinge]

Cathedral gives me shivers

[quick terrace]

I gotta agree with all the people who say the ||Crystal Caves|| soundtrack gives major Portal 2 vibes

[warped hinge]

You know, what's interesting is Cathedral got moved

[quick terrace]

ooh
you know what another great ominous soundtrack in BZ is (especially the opening part), the one called "Far Less Alone" that plays in the Twisty Bridges sometimes
I love that one

so dark sounding at the beginning

[warped hinge]

Originally, a long time ago, Cathedral played in at least one of the 3 parts of the Mercury II

[quick terrace]

interesting

[warped hinge]

And the Tree Spires had no unique music

I still associate Cathedral with Mercury II because of the ghost sounds

Because I remember hearing those when a youtuber went into the Mercury II stern for the very first time

Many months ago

Over 2 years ago

They blended nicely with the Mercury II's ambiance

which includes metal creaking

[quick terrace]

I had heard both Far Less Alone and the Koppa Mining Site music in The Last Bacon's videos and I had no idea they were BZ soundtracks, I thought they were just cool background music he found so I was so happy when I discovered that they were in the game

I love the parts of soundtracks that just have a deep, ominous sound to them

[warped hinge]

It's funny that you would think that. Subnautica and Below Zero both have interactive soundtracks

That change depending on where you are

Well, that's not entirely true

[quick terrace]

well most of them are biome based

[warped hinge]

Subnautica has two soundtracks

primary, and enviromental

[surreal tusk]

twisty bridges soundtrack is noice

[warped hinge]

primary is on a day-night cycle loop for the most part

[quick terrace]

some soundtracks are exclusive to certain biomes while others play either under certain conditions or in several different biomes

[warped hinge]

that includes such songs as Into The Unknown, and Sun and Moons

Sun and Moons in particular will only play at night

It's Subnautica's night theme

[quick terrace]

a lot of the Subnautica soundtracks just kinda float past me, like I've heard them so many times that I can no longer remember which biomes they're even from they're just music I hear frequently in certain areas

[spice seal]

am I the only person who doesn't see where this came from at all

[quick terrace]

one of my favourite BZ soundtracks has to be the Lilypad Islands one, absolutely beautiful

[warped hinge]

I was saying that it's funny that he'd think that it was Bacon's music when the music was coming from the game itself

not from Bacon's video of it

it wasn't added in post

[spice seal]

how do you know did you watch the exact same video

[warped hinge]

I've watched basically all of The Last Bacon's Below Zero videos from the beginning, soo...

[quick terrace]

Bacon has a lot of videos where he's used either Far Less Alone or Koppa Mining Site as background music in parts of it, mostly the creepypasta / void theories ones
and those are Subnautica videos, not BZ ones so it would make sense that I had no idea they were game soundtracks since I hadn't bought BZ yet at that point

[warped hinge]

Yeah, I absolutely have

[quick terrace]

here's one where you hear Far Less Alone in the beginning of the video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOoZJ2BL71o

[junior vapor]

What a lovely thing to see at 5 am

[still dock]

the last bacon is great

[sand plank]

lol

thats painful

[still dock]

i also couldnt save

[sand plank]

idk what id do if that happened

[still dock]

but i havent enountered that bug so far, and im like half way through

[sand plank]

id probably not play for months

it took me 3 days to beat this

well 20 hours actually

[still dock]

i only needed to ||create alans body|| and ||finish the sam storyline||

q1111111111111111;p

sorry cat walked on keyboard

lol

[sand plank]

||i didnt do marguerites story or sams lol||

[still dock]

i couldnt find the greenhouse

i think it wasn't loading in

[sand plank]

somehwere in the lillypads

[still dock]

i though it was in the west arctic

with the leviathans

[sand plank]

idk

i didnt even bother looking for it

i just did alan mission and was done

ill do the side stuff later, i saved my progress before i entered the portal

so i can still go back and do what i need to, just didnt want to tongiht

[still dock]

i spoiled the ending cuz i didnt think i was gonna finish the game
i have no regrets

[hollow sail]

I can't finish the game

it glitched

[sterile shadow]

How did it glitch?

[hollow sail]

u know after make Alan's body he tells u to go to gateway

[sterile shadow]

Yes.

[hollow sail]

the portal that he jumps through in a cutscenes doesn't exist for me (as in there is no visible or non visible portal)

[sterile shadow]

That happened to me as well back in May when they released the ending. Here is a screenshot detailing the fix from the Unknown Worlds forum:

[hollow sail]

Wow thanks!

I will use when I next play

[sterile shadow]

You're welcome 🙂

[stone moon]

||look at this cute fella hwich i found just now, looks like a good pet to keep||

[next current]

What a cutie patootie!

[stone moon]

update:

he didn't really like my company

[next current]

Oh dear... I'm sorry to hear that...

[stone moon]

im back im gonna train him to be a good boy

[polar hare]

nah that’s Levvy
you just gotta get to know him, he’s a great pet

[stone moon]

levvy??

thats such a good name for such a young handosme fella

[next current]

Indeed.

Levi is also a p. good name.

[quick terrace]

I got this funny screenshot yesterday of multiple things grabbing each other

looks like one of those food chain illustrations

[fair quarry]

I have a question

I dont know what to do because i have all the stuff for the architect skeleton but now i dont know what to do with it

[spice seal]

Find the other parts

||Keep scanning artifacts and alan will give you hints on where to go||

[fair quarry]

I scanned all of them

And nothing is happening ive just been waiting

[warped hinge]

Look in the voice log

[fair quarry]

I am

[warped hinge]

Al-An will have said a clue to where the final part is

[fair quarry]

A final part

[warped hinge]

And then, once you have all 3 parts to the skeleton, the only way to go is, well, down, obviously

it is an underwater game of course, despite the surface elements in this one

[fair quarry]

Hmm

[warped hinge]

"We Need To Go Deeper"

[fair quarry]

How many different artifacts are there

[warped hinge]

artifacts?

[fair quarry]

Architect artifacts

I have 7 so far

[warped hinge]

Not including the skeleton parts, I think it's around 10-15, and a non-artifact Ion Cube Cache (the location of which you will have to discover yourself, I won't spoil it for you)

Have you found the Ion Cube cache?

It's very helpful

[fair quarry]

No

But where do i build the architect skeleton

Like is it gonna pop up on my map or something

Not map

But screen

[warped hinge]

No, it's not that kind of game

[carmine bobcat]

Ah I see. Interesting.

[warped hinge]

But, you need to go deeper

You have a max depth

[pine rampart]

fabricator caves

[fair quarry]

What

[warped hinge]

And it can be nearly reached inside the map

Go to where you can get nearly to that max depth

[fair quarry]

Is it somewhere around the pilots last known location area is what i heard right

[pine rampart]

there are 2 shadows guarding the enterance to the fabricator base though

[warped hinge]

Under it. WAY under it

like 500 meters below

[fair quarry]

Can a prawn suit with no upgrades get to it

[warped hinge]

No

[pine rampart]

no

[warped hinge]

I told you, you NEED TO GO DEEPER

[fair quarry]

It only goes to 400 right

[pine rampart]

https://mapgenie.io/subnautica-below-zero

[warped hinge]

What you're looking for is at 900 meters

[pine rampart]

go to the right and you’ll se fabricator caves

that’s where u build skeleton

[fair quarry]

So the pink crystal area

[warped hinge]

Blood red, actually

[fair quarry]

Oh well i seen something about en entrance near some pink crystals

[pine rampart]

bruh https://mapgenie.io/subnautica-below-zero

[warped hinge]

Crystal Caverns crystals are INDIGO

[fair quarry]

Oh thank you

Oh they look pink

[warped hinge]

Fabricator Cavern Crystals are blood red

[fair quarry]

I dont wanna skip through anything tho and try to speed it up

How i get the next artifact to show up

Just explore or something?

I just had like a mini heart attack from the leviathan

I was in the vent gardens is what i think its called and it tried to attack me but it couldn't because i was in a small area it couldn't get in

[fair quarry]

https://www.xbox.com/play/media/29WS9SMC

I crapped myself after that

[surreal tusk]

hmmmm so the vent garden attacked you?

cos its supposed to be friendly

[sterile shadow]

The huge Leviathan that you were swimming under in the video is called a Ventgarden. The red creature that tried to attack you is called a Chelicerate.

[crimson quartz]

Which is also known as shrimp dude

Or big shrimp

[hollow sail]

Yes

[maiden rampart]

No one will stop me from finding an among us related character on Subnautica

[golden pecan]

I am freddy fazbear

[naive crow]

The Ventgarden is incapable of attacking anything

[surreal tusk]

ik

[carmine bobcat]

i just die in degasi base (snake cave)

i was playing on hardcore

[narrow cove]

I wonder how many other people ended up on 4546B/how many more ships fell on it. Like we thought we were the only ones(Aurora), but then it we found the degasi. And yeah part of the crew knew about them.

But now we also find Mercury II

Like how many other ships ended up falling on the planet that we didn't know about?

And maybe even fell into the void

Or in a lot of other sectors

[quasi vault]

What’s the next subnautious game gonna be, any theories?

[narrow cove]

Proabably gonna explore other crashes onto the planet. Maybe from before the events of the first subnautica

Like I personally would love to know more about the degasi/Mercury II

And maybe even more about the rest of the Aurora Crew.

We don't know what exactly happened with most of them, and they all seem like interesting characters.

Who we only got small bits of

Like, maybe they could explore what happened to the other survivors of the crash in like an animated series? 1 episode per character?

And like get to know more about them, and their life on the aurora

Like CTO Yu was brilliant and brave. While the Captain of the Aurora was selfless and fearless, and really cared for his crew! ( to the point that he sacrificed himself just to give them[the other survivors] a chance at escaping/surviving)

I would love to know more about them.

[west mountain]

Dear Members, do seatruck horsepower-upgrades stack?

[quasi vault]

Probably…and we could see what the reaper’s breeding grounds looked like before the aurora!

[quasi vault]

I don’t think so no

[maiden rampart]

am I a monster for killing this sea monkey?

[modest fable]

The only excuse for murdering a Sea Monkey is if it was trying to steal something from you

If it was bringing you something then you are indeed a monster.

[maiden rampart]

it stole the only diamond I needed

[modest fable]

Murder was perfectly justified, then.

[maiden rampart]

how come people on below zero chat talks to fancy?

[junior vapor]

Wym

Maybe we are fancy people

[maiden rampart]

in subnautica chat people speak so specifically

or that's what I remembered

[molten wigeon]

just finished the game, damn!

will there be a sequel?

[west mountain]

Me too, I finished the game long ago, now zapping around gathering and building. And the only person left on this planet is not talking to me. So sad there are no random challenges or events happening.

[carmine bobcat]

Kill them all

[modest fable]

Not for a while. Unknown Worlds is supposedly going to try a different genre with their next game.

They aren't done with Subnautica + Below Zero yet though, they've said there's more work to be done on both games

[narrow cove]

I hope for DLCs

And or an animated series. (In the style of the BZ trailer)

So we can get more familiar with the characters which we find the pdas of and so on. (Mercury II crew, Degasi crew, rest of Aurora crew etc.)

[marble jolt]

Just encountered my first iceworm

[narrow cove]

I hate them lol

Is the anti ice worms module on the snowfox actually effective?

[eternal garnet]

yes, reduces attacks a lot. Not entirely

[narrow cove]

Well anyway. I don't think I will be going back there any time soon lol

Is there anything important besides the tissue sample for Alan's body?

[crimson quartz]

The other parts too

[narrow cove]

Wut?

[crimson quartz]

The skeleton. Tissue. And organs

[narrow cove]

I mean, in the Arctic spires.

[crimson quartz]

Oh

A dead ice worm.

[narrow cove]

Is there anything else important in the Arctic spires besides that

[crimson quartz]

You might also find a pet thats like a cuddlefish but different design

And idk

[narrow cove]

Oh yeah I found 3 of those eggs

[eternal garnet]

this pet can walk on land

[narrow cove]

Oh okay.

But I meant more so story wise stuff

Like pdas, data boxes, alien architects etc.

[eternal garnet]

some artifacts (greenhouse, teleporter shortcut to Phi), not really

[narrow cove]

Oh okay

And i know about the tp. Used it to get out of there

Nah. He useless and mean...

[echo pasture]

Is here a leviathan?

[narrow cove]

Everything he says is around the lines of "Humans==Ineficient"

[eternal garnet]

mmmmmmaybe

[narrow cove]

Proabably

[eternal garnet]

One? No.

[narrow cove]

That deep there is bound to be a leviathan lmao

[echo pasture]

I take that as a YES

[eternal garnet]

pats your head

[eternal garnet]

no no it just wants a hug

[echo pasture]

Just unpilot your sea truck and he will go away

[narrow cove]

Yeah. He wants to hug you to death.

[eternal garnet]

he is sad because he has no face. Hug him

[narrow cove]

Does the seatruck have a forcefield like the cyclops?

[eternal garnet]

i just realized he is designed like Noface in spirited away

no, but perimeter defense. is nice. It's a manual fire defense

and you get one for free if you pay attention. To the floor.

[narrow cove]

Seamoth and Cyclops >> Seatruck

[eternal garnet]

I don't agree there

[stoic surge]

As popular as the Subnautica series has been, the Devs would be NUTS to not make a third title

[echo pasture]

yes

[eternal garnet]

They want to, later, but are currently doing an unrelated game. So it will be some years

[stoic surge]

I hate waiting

I wonder if a sequel would be happening on 4546B, or somewhere else

[eternal garnet]

We need to go see Alans home. Come in for tea and biscuits.

[stoic surge]

The final scene did show ||clouds and rain|| so that planet probably has an ocean?

[waxen kindle]

lol subnautica without an ocean is not subnautica

[waxen kindle]

Crumpets

Alan gives me british vibes

[fair quarry]

Oh then why did it say it was a leviathan on Google ☹️

[eternal garnet]

what if sequel has a different name 🤯

[waxen kindle]

[fair quarry]

Sue googole for false information

[eternal garnet]

biscuit = cookie in american. American biscuit is a breakfast bun

And they are so fluffy and good and not available here please send me some

[narrow cove]

I am willing to bet that yes tbh lol.

The story is more so of the planet than of the individual characters imo

[eternal garnet]

The story so far

[narrow cove]

Nah.

There has to be a reason why the architects chose to have 4546B as one of the places they studied the kharra

Which ties in the bigger story someway we don't know yet

[surreal tusk]

they r kinda inefficient

[narrow cove]

Idk. Alterra is just dumb imo. Like they have crazy technology and resources. Yet they refuse to use them in the right way.

Like if they sent an aurora scale crew to sector 0 with aurora resources, then they would have digged that place up in a few weeks lol.

But no, they instead send less than 20 people and don't even give them the stuff necessary to kill ice worms and what not

[eternal garnet]

But sir, they avoid all attacks. It's like they go invisible, sir

[narrow cove]

Alterra deff has the technology to deal with them. They just don't care enough to do so

[echo pasture]

hmmm yes free storage included with the sea truck fabricator

[stoic surge]

Welp, my creative game on my Switch just crashed after 15 minutes ... wow

[echo pasture]

I just checked every recipe I unlocked and none contained magnetite so... I have never found magnetite in 22h of playing...

[modest fable]

I don't even know where magnetite is

I'm gonna do some searching

Ah. Not very rare.

[quick elk]

i am bored

have no idea what to do

just beat the game and never touched it since

sorry if you saw me say this before but im lazy to scroll back up a few hundred messages

[echo pasture]

how do I navigate to ||Marguerit's Greenhouse||?

[waxen kindle]

pilots last known location

theres a trench with weird plants

follow oxegen plants and light sticks

[quick terrace]

no that's her base, not the greenhouse

[quick terrace]

it's in the East Arctic I believe, on top of some icebergs

[echo pasture]

Isn't the base with the animal that lives on land? I put a beacon there.

[quick terrace]

"woman" xD

her base is the one down in the Lilypad caves, the greenhouse is above ground in an iceberg area

[limber wave]

wat dis

[blissful nymph]

A hole

[safe smelt]

Indeed

[narrow cove]

Also, I remember I think that I watched someone try BZ a few years back when it was still like beta. And I'm not sure, but originally, Robin would talk to some women on a space station in the orbit of the planet I think? Was this ever a thing or am I thinking of something else?

[fair quarry]

Yo im scared for my life rn

So im in the purple crystal area and my thing said " proceed with caution a leviathan class creature is near"

Ima save my game

Is something gonna eat me

[ancient shoal]

It might've been the old story. Idk what the story used to be but it was different than what it is now

[west mountain]

No, you will be fine in your seatruck... just have the Zapper and the repair tool ready with a fully charged battery, ok?

[silent torrent]

I’m kinda stuck and don’t know where to go or what to do

[patent edge]

Ello

[fair quarry]

Well i went down with the prawn with only a depth module mk1

So im doing pretty good

Im at 685m rn

[echo pasture]

"compression" (you need a recyclotron to turn them back into ore)

[soft atlas]

the chelicerate followed me up to my base and now he doesn't want to leave, how can I make him return to his original biome?

[waxen kindle]

ohh i never thought of that, i should totally do that

[waxen kindle]

give hima hug and tell him hes a good boy

[soft atlas]

yep, i love your proposition but sadly it doesn't work

[waxen kindle]

dang

reload game?

[soft atlas]

he's still here

I can't get out of my base without getting attacked

[fair quarry]

https://www.xbox.com/play/media/3VZJGTBU

Very pretty game

But i think this is the right video

[unkempt bronze]

Well, i suppose using violence may help

[carmine bobcat]

where can i find the musics?

[next current]

Usually around Alterra Bases, Wrecks, and Tech Sites. However, the Mercury II Crew had some disks around as well.

[carmine bobcat]

also, is there an easy place to get spiral plant clippings?

[sterile shadow]

You can get them in either the Deep Purple Vents or inside of Ventgarden Leviathans.

[carmine bobcat]

the deep purple vents are...by the Mercury II, right?

[spice seal]

They're right under the smallest part of the Mercury II

[carmine bobcat]

there's a small part of the Merc?

[spice seal]

If you've been to the Stern, it's northeast of there, follow the border of the Purple Vents with the Lilypads

[carmine bobcat]

...Where is the Stern?

[carmine bobcat]

So it's the main part where I get the Processing Unit

[sterile shadow]

You could say that the Mercury II's Bow is the "main part" because it has 3 fragments for the Parallel Processing Unit. The Stern only has 2.

[maiden aurora]

Just go to tree spire for the ventgarden that is easier or you go to purple vent about where the alien artifact is there should be some around

[carmine bobcat]

It appears that I am just south of the Stern, by the border of the three biomes

do i keep heading south?

[spice seal]

no

That part of the Tree Spires is dangerous

[carmine bobcat]

East?

[spice seal]

NE

If you want to get to Deep Purple Vents

[maiden aurora]

There is cherlicerate but seriously the air bladder and sea glide is enough

Yes recycle

[carmine bobcat]

I'm using the Prawn, imma be foine

[wet tiger]

Whether you go to the Purple Vents or the Tree Spires, the shrimp's gonna bully you anyway

[maiden aurora]

Even better kill the leviathan

The shrimp is a wimp hut it with your heat blade

Do it the Russian way

[sterile shadow]

But in Russia.. Shrimp hits you with heat knife

[spice seal]

The whole southern half of the Tree Spires is safe from Chelicerates, there's another Ventgarden there

[maiden aurora]

I am going to personal show Alan what a psycho really is

[wet tiger]

Oh wait, I forgot about that one

[maiden aurora]

megalovania starts playing

Imagine you can have leviathan meat that gives you 200 hunger points and you get the achievement the doom slayer

[carmine bobcat]

PDA Lady said geothermal thingy

is that deep thermal?

[maiden aurora]

Yeah ||pk8 artifact||

Idk about that

[carmine bobcat]

I need to get a depth module first, calm down💀

[maiden aurora]

Nah nah nah

[carmine bobcat]

that's why im getting spiral clippings

[maiden aurora]

Hug the roof of 199

Seaglide time

[carmine bobcat]

how deep is the artifact??

[maiden aurora]

About 350-400 I forgot

It’s in a crack

Be quick and don’t get distracted there is good stuff down there

And unlock || ion battery / cell||

[carmine bobcat]

I'm in a prawn suit, I think I can get up to the crack

[maiden aurora]

That is even better

Also || 2 ion cube||

[carmine bobcat]

i got 4 plant clippings, I think i'll be good for now :)

[maiden aurora]

I have too exterior grow beds of clippings ** I think that is enough**

[spice seal]

You can always just plant some and grow more

[maiden aurora]

Me with four exteriors grow beds of gel sack I am superior

Lol jokes aside you can always plant for more

They do take quite a bit to grow and each time they only give 2

[carmine bobcat]

I put a beacon where I can't grab it 🧍‍♂️

[maiden aurora]

Lol

Is it just me or leviathans in this game is too weak

[carmine bobcat]

Deep Purple Vents will now be called B e a c o n 6

[maiden aurora]

Lol

You can clip through the terrain though

There is some hacks and you might can get it back or just make another one and place it better

[carmine bobcat]

I know the item console command

but how can i get it back without doing that?

[maiden aurora]

Wdym

I said clip the terrain or make another one it is cheap anyway

One titianium and one cooper

[carmine bobcat]

oh

[maiden aurora]

You can try the fast glitch

Propulsion canon with an item loaded and press shift for booster tank gives you fastest speed

[sterile shadow]

The Propulsion Cannon might help.

[carmine bobcat]

alright

I got a music disk >:D

[maiden aurora]

Good job

There is a lot btw

[carmine bobcat]

i wanna get teh JT Music one

[hidden moth]

real

[carmine bobcat]

do i get to the body cache through Marg's place?

[sterile shadow]

If you're talking about the Skeleton, then yes. There is an entrance to the area beside her base.

[carmine bobcat]

i found cool red thingys

[carmine bobcat]

im 361m deep and I found this huge thermal vent

and there's a deep pit beside it, should I go down?

ohh
I found the crystal caves

[hollow sail]

nice

[carmine bobcat]

so where can i find water filtration systems?

[eternal garnet]

one wreck, zero base, maybe omega base

[carmine bobcat]

Currently have a leviathan chasing me 🤪

which base is the base to the west?

[broken badge]

On land?

[carmine bobcat]

Yo breath stinks my guy

[broken badge]

Phi Robotics

[carmine bobcat]

yeah

[broken badge]

Should be Phi Robotics, there’s a bridge in that same general area (but it’s near the coast)

[carmine bobcat]

Should I head there even if I didn't get the Artifact marker?

[broken badge]

You won’t always get a marker. At least in my experience. It just kinda depends on how your story plays out

[livid umbra]

why wont it let me place a bio reactor?

[arctic zenith]

Yeah omega or phi robotics lab

[arctic zenith]

I got like 4

[broken badge]

I meant a marker over on the land portion

Also Omega isn’t on land (they were talking about a land base out west)

Oh you were responding to something else I guess? Idk

[still dock]

help
im lost in the crystal caves

is there a map

[broken badge]

Not in game. You can find guides on YouTube. A lot of people like Hylian Mom and Chemical Apes for guides

[still dock]

i know, but i wasnt looking for anything in particular

i was just exploring

[arctic zenith]

I just realized I haven’t completed subnautica bz 100%

[sterile shadow]

Here's a map of the Crystal Caves. It's not super detailed, though.

[arctic zenith]

I need to fix that

Where can I find the antidote

[still dock]

thanks

[arctic zenith]

Do y’all know

[still dock]

in the original?

[arctic zenith]

Yeah

No

[sterile shadow]

Here's a map showing the location of the antidote. It's where the Spy Pengling is circled. It's a small cave that you can only enter by using a Spy Pengling.

[arctic zenith]

Thank you

Ohhh ok

[arctic zenith]

Is that where the ||infected leviathan is||

[sterile shadow]

No. They're different places.

[arctic zenith]

Huh

[eternal garnet]

see purple trees? Tower above it? There

[arctic zenith]

But the same general area tho?

[livid umbra]

no you need to fix the bridge and cross it. i think

[arctic zenith]

I already beat the game and did all that but am now finishing achievements to get the game to 100%

[livid umbra]

ok

[arctic zenith]

Oh I already have the map

[sterile shadow]

On the map I sent you, the ||Frozen Leviathan|| is in a cave at the forest with purple trees and a big tower (like meatie said).

[silent torrent]

There’s a….. crocodile thing in between me and the “pilot last known position”. How do I deal with it

[arctic zenith]

I’m just lost at this point

[arctic zenith]

The shark squid looking thing?

Or the whale looking thing

[silent torrent]

It has the snout of a spino and the body of a seal but the fins are evened out

[arctic zenith]

Huh

[dusty ferry]

Is it normal that this Seatruck config can't move at all? Do I need upgrades to give it more power?

[waxen kindle]

It should just be slow but try a horsepower upgrade

[dusty ferry]

oh i found the problem

[waxen kindle]

Also what modules are those

[dusty ferry]

i docked it together with an air pipe going through the middle

[arctic zenith]

Thiss??

[silent torrent]

Ok yiu know how there’s a pilot last know position thing right

[silent torrent]

No

[waxen kindle]

Ahh

[dusty ferry]

the ones that make a bunch of sound and flail around a lot?

[waxen kindle]

It’s those things that roar

[silent torrent]

It has the face of a spinosauras

[waxen kindle]

I call ‘em dogs

Dogshark

[arctic zenith]

This

[waxen kindle]

No

[arctic zenith]

Brutes?

[dusty ferry]

those?

[silent torrent]

No it has fins

[arctic zenith]

WDYM FINS

😭

[waxen kindle]

I think he means this

[arctic zenith]

Then why doesn’t he just say that

[dusty ferry]

Well if he hasn't scanned it he wouldn't know what it's called

[silent torrent]

I think it’s this

It was very colorful on the blue and yellow spectrum

[arctic zenith]

But I was saying he should say he think he saw that

[waxen kindle]

Bruh

[dusty ferry]

Yeah I think I know the area you're talking about, and those are all over the place there

[silent torrent]

I saw it and my first thought was to get back on the island

[waxen kindle]

There are no brute sharks there

[silent torrent]

I’m kinda new so I don’t know what it was

[waxen kindle]

They aren’t really that bad, mostly roar and barely any bite

[dusty ferry]

I first ran into them on the way to the island

[silent torrent]

I’m talking about the island with the lady with a robot suit with snow in her house

[waxen kindle]

It’s the cylipherlite or whater it’s called that you want to avoid

[waxen kindle]

That’s not her house

[silent torrent]

Oh

Ok but how do o avoid it

[waxen kindle]

That belongs to ||alterra||

[silent torrent]

And are there any more of them cuz there terrifyingly

[silent torrent]

The suit

?

Cuz the main person said that shes not with altera

Oh

Ok but what’s the pilot last know position?

[silent torrent]

And are there any terrifying creatures that’ll give u ptsd?

So how do I kill it

And how do I not get terribly by it

Are there guns in this game?

How?

No

What’s that

And how do I get it

Uh huh

Uh huh

[waxen kindle]

Bruh i already have 2 prawn fragments and i haven’t even got there

[broken badge]

Please don’t ask the same thing in multiple channels, I answered in another channel not realizing you posted in three channels. This is the most active channel so if you need advice quickly post it here

Posting in multiple channels is considered spam

[waxen kindle]

Mod alert, also the regular subnautica chat is a bit more active

[broken badge]

Yeah but you can’t ask BZ stuff in Subnautica chat

[pine rampart]

they should make a channel for both games

[waxen kindle]

There are

[broken badge]

We aren’t going to do that, it would be too confusing and pain to moderate

[pine rampart]

no

[waxen kindle]

Wait

[pine rampart]

combined

[broken badge]

We have enough channels as is

[waxen kindle]

Oh bruh nah cause you wouldn’t know which game they were talking about

Yes

Im addicted to subnautica bz

And i haven’t even explored much

I’m taking it really slow and making maxed out stuff

[jade thistle]

Does anyone know how to disable the dev console? I've had my keys rebound to the arrow keys for movement, and "Enter" for the PDA, and now the console opens with the PDA every time. I'm not even hitting Shift. help?

[silent torrent]

Sorry

This seems so hard

Do I need a sea truck?

[sterile shadow]

To go to the Koppa Mining Site? A Seatruck makes it much easier. It's not necessary but recommended.

[jade thistle]

So, no one is having the problem that the dev console opens when hitting "Enter" without "Shift"?

[eternal garnet]

You prob. will have to not bind the enter key

[jade thistle]

I've rebound the PDA to the "End" button, but that doesn't solve all the problems

[eternal garnet]

Enter toggles console on/off, once it's enabled. Enable is shift-enter. To disable you have to restart BZ

[jade thistle]

So Shift+Enter, then restart?

[eternal garnet]

no... if you hit shift.-enter once, you have to restart to undo this

[jade thistle]

The console window at the lower left opens when I hit "Enter" on the title screen

[eternal garnet]

it's enabled then. restart

[jade thistle]

I have, many times.

[eternal garnet]

mm. I can't help then

[jade thistle]

No change

[eternal garnet]

I will test this though

[jade thistle]

Well, I appreciate you trying!

[eternal garnet]

Menu screen: enter does nothing

Note, you need a recent version for the behavior I described. Older versions have a checkbox on the F3 panel

[jade thistle]

I've looked for the checkbox on the panel, but it's not there, I'm pretty sure I'm up to date.

Wishing I could roll back to a version that worked

[silent torrent]

How do I make a see truck?

And how do I get the mvb blueprint?

[eternal garnet]

scan 3 fragments, scan frags for Mobile vehicle bay. Make that, release it

[jade thistle]

Another problem with key bindings is that there is no option other than "E" to exit a vehicle. This is a problem for people who don't use WASD

[silent torrent]

Where is the frags?

[eternal garnet]

kelp cave monkey nests, and scattered in the starting biome

[vernal wind]

When could we potentially expect an update for below zero? There's a really amazing QoL feature on the PS5 Subnautica where only fragments you don't have completed are revealed via scanner room. Trying to use scanner room on PC Below Zero and my visual sensors are outright overloaded with information because of all the blips on my screen many of which I already have. (I'm ADHD and it literally hurts to look at). I can't really look for blueprints with scanner room because of the information overload.

[sand plank]

I have ADHD too, never had this issue, just take it one thing at a time. I know its hard, but never have i experienced it as bad as youre making it out to be

[still dock]

i wish there was more screenshot space

so many memories that i want to keep

[tawdry pumice]

(laughs in saving to device)

[carmine bobcat]

Where can I find a seatruck fabricator module fragment

[eternal garnet]

deep twisty bridges

[carmine bobcat]

Anywhere else?

[eternal garnet]

theres one in purple vents

[carmine bobcat]

I think the ones in PV respawn

but where can i get the seatruck horsepower upgrade?

[eternal garnet]

monkey nests in lilypads crevices

[carmine bobcat]

thx :)

the lilypads are south of pv?

[eternal garnet]

frags and outcrops don't respawn - unless your device has world saving issues. So this happens on Switch and maybe PS4

[carmine bobcat]

i see.

well i foudn UHC tank blueprints

[carmine bobcat]

i was lost in the crystal cave

it was scary but fun

nickel ore looks like gold

deep twisty bridges are sw of spawn?

[eternal garnet]

probably. lifepod location is a little random

its where the SOS signal is

btw, find the source of that

[carmine bobcat]

the sos from Al?

[eternal garnet]

yes. Looks like you did

[carmine bobcat]

found it

does lilypad have all of the ultra high capacity tank fragments?

[eternal garnet]

yes

[carmine bobcat]

yea, that's how i found it

[carmine bobcat]

can i find one in the arctic kelps?

[eternal garnet]

no it's only in lilypad

[carmine bobcat]

ight

[vernal wind]

Imagine a sea of yellow and your brain unable to prioritize which one to pursue AND tell which one is closest to you (without the size mod on nexus) and then visualize a circuitboard shooting sparks. Not everyone's experience is the same, just like varying degree's of Autism (high performing to incapable of speech) there are varying degree's of ADHD......

I'd rather not list off all my other mental health problems and just leave it at the "ADHD" factor and redirect back to the question -

Silence since release on steam page, can we expect updates anytime soon? I skulked the website, noted the twitter updates of work, but haven't seen anything really official notifying up and coming patches.

[carmine bobcat]

I got the module

almost shat maself

i dont wanna go back in the crystal caves again

[carmine bobcat]

gives me lava zone vibes

[still dock]

same

i would say its more like the lost river but smaller

[carmine bobcat]

i had trouble getting back to that womans base

[still dock]

you could put a beacon at the exits

[pine rampart]

fabricator caves are basically lava zone to me

[vernal wind]

the crystal caves were actually easy to traverse if you remembered to snag the stun module from the woman's base, legit plasters the leviathan easy for a solid 10+ seconds or so

[still dock]

are you kidding me

the defense system is at THE BASE
HOW DID I MISS THAT

ugh

[carmine bobcat]

ye

[eternal garnet]

because its on the messy floor

[still dock]

i have had too many leviathan attacks for my own good

[pine rampart]

cause ur reaper

[carmine bobcat]

what defense system

[pine rampart]

perimeter

[carmine bobcat]

for the seatruck

oh

i thought it was for something else

[still dock]

is it better to explore crystal caves in the prawn suit or seatruck

[carmine bobcat]

i explored it with the seatruck

[vernal wind]

I'm klepto in looting games, so I scoured that place until I was sure I got everything. It's also why I can't enjoy skyrim properly

[still dock]

ive been doing it with prawn

[eternal garnet]

truck with perimeter defense. Absolutely.

[still dock]

is the torpedo arm useful

[carmine bobcat]

no

[vernal wind]

nope

[pine rampart]

no

[carmine bobcat]

drill arm is better defense weapon

[vernal wind]

torpedo's be garbage in both games sadly

[carmine bobcat]

combo it with the grappler arm

[still dock]

i wish the ultra glide fins were in bz

the swim charge fins are SO slow

[pine rampart]

ya got games on your phone?

[still dock]

lol

[carmine bobcat]

i like her voice acting

[still dock]

Is it just me, or are the wall planters missing in bz

[still dock]

same

[eternal garnet]

there are wall planters, for example in omega

Maida and her voice is in Subnautica, if you forgot

[still dock]

but can you build them?

[eternal garnet]

Subnautica has no NPCs though

yes you can build them

[still dock]

i couldnt scan the ones in omega

[vernal wind]

the AI lady isn't an NPC!? lol

[carmine bobcat]

is it Argentite or Galena that has Lead

[pine rampart]

epic gaming setup

[carmine bobcat]

galena

[pine rampart]

galena

[carmine bobcat]

scan the outcrops

I can do that?

ye

[eternal garnet]

please notice the bottom right icon that screams "scan me!"

[carmine bobcat]

i've always ignored that icon-

[vernal wind]

"notice me senpai"

[pine rampart]

who likes my gaming setup

should i make a hotel? lol

[carmine bobcat]

time to make seatruck fab mod

s t o n k s

[pine rampart]

[vernal wind]

i think that already exists actually

[eternal garnet]

mod for module is confusing. we mean game modification, or moderator

[pine rampart]

or mods

[eternal garnet]

mods means mods? okay

[carmine bobcat]

goin to artifact z13 >:D

[pine rampart]

bruh no

[eternal garnet]

jazz lovers from the 60s?

[fair quarry]

I finished the game

I didn't know I finished it

Until the credits came up

[eternal garnet]

canned response: what to do now?
Cure the frozen creature. Hatch eggs. Find and hatch Trivalve. Build the best base evar. Find all the music tracks.
Play around with commands (see wiki).

[vernal wind]

just want to credit them for putting JT music subnautica on the jukebox, that was totally badass

[waxen kindle]

U can cure the ||frozen leviathan ||?

[eternal garnet]

yes, the cure is the only red thing on the Phi ice area map

[waxen kindle]

Dang once i finish the playthrough ill do that

[eternal garnet]

got other ideas, I'll save them

[waxen kindle]

Hmm

Document every type of fauna in your screen shots

Then re think your life choices

[carmine bobcat]

I'm at Phi! I just need to find 4 snow stalker fur to make a viable snowsuit for my snowfox >:D

[eternal garnet]

the solution is not to kill a stalker btw.

[carmine bobcat]

I know, I saw Jacksepticeye mistakenly do that

[pine rampart]

use spy pengling

[carmine bobcat]

Imma just murder them with my Prawn >:>

[pine rampart]

there is 1 snow stalker fur in parvans bunker

[eternal garnet]

did you see him murder a monkey giving him metal?

[carmine bobcat]

yeah💀

[carmine bobcat]

Where?

[pine rampart]

in his bunker

[eternal garnet]

its where his bed is

where? Yes.

[pine rampart]

the epic ghostie bed

[carmine bobcat]

Where is his bunker-
I'm just above the Phi lab place

[pine rampart]

ur at it

[carmine bobcat]

o h

[pine rampart]

where frozen leviathan is

[carmine bobcat]

Where do I find that??

[pine rampart]

i think u missed the door

[pine rampart]

ur at it

it’s where sam and parvan died

[carmine bobcat]

I'm standing in front of the door, is it in that little area?

[pine rampart]

oh, wrong phi lab

it’s more west

[carmine bobcat]

Is it supposed to be by the Landing Pad

[pine rampart]

no

[carmine bobcat]

alright

im gonna go over the lab and straight weest

i see snow stalkers 👀

[eternal garnet]

got a flare, hold it out

[carmine bobcat]

time to kill 🗿

[eternal garnet]

yes, no.

[carmine bobcat]

too late, i've already killed 2

been through 3 caves with bones it em, no fur yet

i went through water tunnel

I see why you wanted me to have a flare

[carmine bobcat]

yaaay I found Paravan's bunker

[tiny sand]

so i just ||cured the frozen leviathan|| what do i do now?

[surreal tusk]

well do you have the body part?

[spice seal]

That's the end of Sam's storyline, now finish ||Alan||'s

[surreal tusk]

yes

[tiny sand]

i did

[carmine bobcat]

||You'll need a SnowFox to get to Z13.||

[tiny sand]

whats ||
z13?||

[carmine bobcat]

Alien Artifact

[spice seal]

Isn't that one just in the Glacial Bay?

[surreal tusk]

idt is necessary to have the snowfox to do it, you can get a prawn suit and do it as well

[spice seal]

What does that have to do with anything we're talking about

[carmine bobcat]

I just use the SnowFox because the hostile there scares me

[tiny sand]

so is there anything else left to do? i finished sams storyline and ive finished ||alans|| storyline

[surreal tusk]

lol but snowfox gonna attract ice worm

[carmine bobcat]

Finish ||Marg's||?

[tiny sand]

i found it much more enjoyable to just run around the field

[tiny sand]

yep

[surreal tusk]

if you got alans body part go on down to the final area

[tiny sand]

already have

[carmine bobcat]

all of them?

[spice seal]

Are we talking about the ||body cache in Arctic Spires? That's not artifact z13||

[tiny sand]

yep

[surreal tusk]

then you alr completed the game lol

[carmine bobcat]

||The one across the bridge from Phi Robotics||

[surreal tusk]

just go to the architect and all

[tiny sand]

but isnt there a rocket that i put something into and launch it?

[surreal tusk]

and then leave

[spice seal]

And if so I'd recommend using PRAWN Suit instead of snowfox

[surreal tusk]

that was the first subnautica

[tiny sand]

no..

[spice seal]

||Z13 and the cache are both across that bridge||

[carmine bobcat]

I did it :D
||I cured Kharaa :D||

[surreal tusk]

||now its follow the architect into his world||

[tiny sand]

im pretty sure there was a rocket you put a sample of ||enzyme 42|| into then launched it to the space station orbiting 4546B

[carmine bobcat]

Isn't there also a ||secret egg somewhere|| in that area too? ||Like the Cuddlefish||

[spice seal]

spoilers much

[spice seal]

Yes, there are 2 of them in that biome

[carmine bobcat]

||Two different colors, yes?||

[surreal tusk]

k imma go spoiler it lol

[sterile shadow]

Yiiiis, blue and gold

[surreal tusk]

that was the first one

now its below zero

[carmine bobcat]

but to "hatch them'", where can I find the tank thing?

[surreal tusk]

no more rocket

[tiny sand]

im pretty sure there was a rocket in below zero

[spice seal]

||No the ones in Arctic spires are both blue, gold ones are in an underwater biome||

[surreal tusk]

nope lol

[carmine bobcat]

That was in the Beta version

[spice seal]

Yeah it's been cut from.the game because of the story change

[tiny sand]

aw

[surreal tusk]

now its like this:

[carmine bobcat]

So to get out to the bridge, I just go east, yes?

[tiny sand]

so whats this ||secret egg||?

[spice seal]

||Trivalve||

[tiny sand]

oh

[surreal tusk]

lol cuddlefish was better but i didnt care abt both hahahha

[spice seal]

Overall northeast, to get there from the ||frozen leviathan|| you need to go straight east, through the cave, and then east from there

[spice seal]

I'm sorry but I don't recall anyone asking

[carmine bobcat]

I assume there's ||No more use for the Spy-Ling now?||

[spice seal]

There are still plenty caves around the Glacial Basin that you can use it for to get some extra materials, but there aren't any more big story things you need it for

[carmine bobcat]

So if I remember Jack's video, ||The Trivalve eggs are along the icy wall on the way towards Z13?||

[sterile shadow]

The Energy Generator is Z13 and the orange/red icons on this map are the eggs in the Arctic Spires.

[carmine bobcat]

Where is the entrance to the place?

[spice seal]

You keep confusing ||z13 with the Body Cache, it's on the way to the body cache||

[sterile shadow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMWNxGPPpxI

[carmine bobcat]

thank you c:

so then to get to z13 i have to ||go back to the entrance?||

[carmine bobcat]

or do I just head east then turn south?

sorry, west

[spice seal]

You don't need to go to z13 anyway it's just an artifact

[carmine bobcat]

but it'd be worth it, right?

[sterile shadow]

It depends. You don't get anything but lore for collecting 15/15 artifacts. Here's what you get for collecting certain amounts of artifacts.

[carmine bobcat]

oh

Z13 is currently the 4th one ||Excluding the Body Cache||

[sterile shadow]

I'm a completionist and a cheater so I used a guide and found them all. Probably not worth it for some people, though.

[sterile shadow]

I 100% recommend at least getting 6 of them. The reward is incredibly useful.

[carmine bobcat]

aaaaa

I FOUND A PORTAL

that was a nice shortcut . - .

[surreal tusk]

Lol it doesnt require a question

[crimson quartz]

Idk where do you all find the portals. But i had to travel on foot literally to finish the game.

[magic zodiac]

where do i go from the || bridge to get to phi robotics ||

i just crossed the|| bridge ||

i circled back to the bridge 4 times somehow

[junior vapor]

There should be a cave entrance

[warped hinge]

Is it just me or do the torpedoes need a buff? I’m fine with the gas torpedoes not doing much damage, but they at least need to stop a leviathan in its tracks. They are currently no help at all against a leviathan. Leviathans just don’t seem to care that they are taking damage. The vortex ones meanwhile are extremely expensive for what they are (magnetite is a very limited resource in this game) and just as unreliable, as the vortex isn’t really large enough to stop a Leviathan, much less pin it in place. Both types of torpedos are only good against extremely low threat creatures like Brute Sharks and Cryptosuchus, glass creatures so fragile you can kill them easily by just running into them with the Sea Truck a few times

[west mountain]

Forget the torpedos. They are not doing enough damage at all. The simplest way to kill a leviathan is to ram it with the seatruck and zapp it and squeeze it on the wall. Then repair the seatruck and repeat. It does not take many attempts to kill it. When you have the seatruck speed boost module, then just use that before you ram it to add some extra punch. 5-10 times max and it is done. P.S. and don't do the same mistake as I did and make a scan before you kill the last one. I am now left with no shadow leviathan scan, that buggers me a lot. P.P.S. and hit it in the right spot around the Neck/Head area. There must be green hit-cloud visible when you hit it, otherwise it probabely did not do any damage.

...and you will find more magnetite in the cristal cavern than you will ever need in the entire game. I plundered every resource in cristal and red cavern execpt the magnetite. I mostly use it to build the managers pendulum tool 🙂

[warped hinge]

I know what to do. The defense module makes it easy to deal with them. The problem I have is the Prawn Suit doesn’t really have its own answer to a leviathan

[west mountain]

I killed the first with the prawn suite but it takes an awful lot of time. Let it attack and then punch it, repair the prawn and repeat. Takes a lot of time but it will eventually do.

[warped hinge]

Also, did crashfish eggs get added in? Or did they get cut?

[west mountain]

Yes, you find crasfish eggs in certain crash fish nests instead of sulfur

[warped hinge]

Containment raised Crashfish from a Prawn Suit Propulsion Cannon will kill any Leviathan

Don’t remember the exact number. I want to say it’s 1 (because they do like infinite damage) but it might be 2 or 3

[west mountain]

You don't cross the bridge to go to Phi robotics. And yes, one path loops back on itself, when you do not enter the cave. There are two caves leading to phi robotics, a long one and a short one. You should also have a beacon for the Phi Robotics landing pad. That is right in front of the Lab.

[junior vapor]

I thought the cracks in the crystal caves are specifically for avoiding the leviathans without needing to kill them

I did make a torpedo arm for my prawn, but im still not quite sure i want to put up a fight against it

Also, what do i do with propellent seems like useless?

[magic zodiac]

So

Will || Alan give hint for architect organs or no? ||

[carmine bobcat]

I am playing below zero, what is "sector zero"? People keep mentioning it in guides I watch

[west mountain]

There is a base called Outpost Zero in the North, just a bit east of the crash site where the game started. You will see it once you scanned the Alterra map.

[waxen kindle]

What is the best feul for a bio reactor? Just in case my nuclear reactor fails

[narrow cove]

Thermal energy is better imo

[waxen kindle]

ahh but im in shallow water near drop pod

[narrow cove]

Then use solar panels xD

[quick terrace]

Sector Zero is the entire area of the planet that BZ takes place in, like the Crater in Subnautica

#off-topic

[carmine bobcat]

Thanks

[waxen kindle]

wait i used console commands in my creative world, does that mean i cant get acheivments in my survival world?

[bold monolith]

No.

[waxen kindle]

ok good i was worried

[bold monolith]

The cheat flag is linked to the slot where you use them.

[plush bobcat]

I like to build cat empires in my creative world

Like rocket ships

n subbernes

[west mountain]

Are there any mineral resources that do respan or are the resources finite and limited to what you start with? E.g. putting used reactor rods in the nuclear waste bin removes these resources permanently from the game?

[plush bobcat]

Idk i just like building stuff

[spice seal]

I know the rock punchers create infinite rocks, which can have titanium or copper or some other things

Other than that I don't think anything respawns, if it's like Subnautica anyway

[waxen kindle]

erm

this was at the edge of the map

and i tried to get over it

there was a raised ledge and what looked like a desert

[west mountain]

Thank you! That is also my observation. I was just a bit sad that my world only had one single lily paddler creature egg, which took quite an effort to find (scanner room, HUD, etc.)

[waxen kindle]

guys is there a command to summon a prawn suit at your location?

[quick terrace]

hold up what?

they create resources?

[eternal garnet]

yes: spawn exosuit

[quick terrace]

what

[bold monolith]

Are you sure it's the only one?

[eternal garnet]

yes they do. NOt all the time, but not rare

[quick terrace]

well that is very good to know, so titanium is renewable then

epicc

kinda like how Sea Treaders make shale outcroppings I guess

[bold monolith]

You have the seamonkey also.

[quick terrace]

oh yeah

[eternal garnet]

also "item exohullmodule2" and exosuitdrillarmmodule exosuitgrapplingarmmodule exosuitjetupgrademodule

[quick terrace]

Rock Puncher eggs exist right?

I'm pretty sure they do

[eternal garnet]

yes, red american footballs

[quick terrace]

lol

[eternal garnet]

red punk american footballs

[quick terrace]

can hatched Rock Punchers also spawn rocks or is that only an ability of the naturally generated ones?

[bold monolith]

You have exosuitupgrades & seatruckupgrades, exosuitarms, then you don't need to remember those long names that you won't remember anyway.

[eternal garnet]

nice

[carmine bobcat]

Can I send a picture of my alterra map and someone tell me which symbol represents the "outpost zero" I keep getting lost while following the YouTube guide to get there

[eternal garnet]

it's the one in the north.

a stroked zero, 0 in purple

[carmine bobcat]

Thank you, does it have the cave and the snow bear

[eternal garnet]

no snow stalkers there. The entrance is hidden under water, and under an ice shelf. There are ice fruit plants there

[carmine bobcat]

I have the map already it is in my pda

[carmine bobcat]

Ok thanks, I need to go to the green one then I think

[eternal garnet]

no.. zero is purple

Phi is green, also a stroked circle

[bold monolith]

S.O.S.

[waxen kindle]

yea

thats morse code, an sos is dot dot dot, dash dash dash, dot dot dot

and he repeats it three times

[naive crow]

Yup, this still works.

[reef owl]

Did you really just go all the way back 2 weeks to find that?

[waxen kindle]

lol

dedication

[naive crow]

There is a search function

[reef owl]

That makes more sense. I've sunk 200 hours in bz and almost just that many in Subnautica if you need help

[oak aspen]

idk

[eternal garnet]

it is though

maybe they want _ instead of -

[waxen kindle]

yea

[reef owl]

A space is required between every character. A double space is needed to separate words

A legitimate sos in Morse is a series of 12 longer taps,a brief pause, a quick 6 taps, a pause then repeat

[eternal garnet]

what? no

3 short, 3 long, 3 short, pause

I know morse damnit

[reef owl]

Yes but in Morse you only have taps. Two quick taps make a dot, two long taps make a dash

[eternal garnet]

you're strange. I refer to what you hear

In a "modern" morse key, you have 2 paddles, hold one and it makes dots, hold the other it makes dashes

but manual keying is rare now

[reef owl]

Knock sos right now on whatever you have around you and try to make a dash

[eternal garnet]

I'd use fldigi, an app that converts various AM encodings to text and back

there are far higher bandwidth codes, that still can go on low bandwidth AM or SSB transmissions

But you do not manual key them

if you have a morse sound recording, fldigi can decode it from your soundcard

This is plenty off topic now

[reef owl]

During the days Morse was perceived, computers didn't translate and all they had was a binary signal. The most rudimentary form of Morse

Lol I agree, the in game use of Morse is correct though

[eternal garnet]

morse is still in use, mainly by amateurs who think it's fun

[narrow cove]

Okay so i just|| cured the the frozen leviathan, but i'm still confused. Like why did the cave collapse? Did Sam do it? To slow down Alterra from weaponizing the bacteria? Did she just make enzyme 42? Did she find a new way of curing it? How big is this leviathan exactly? It seems bigger than the emeror. If Sam was the one to blow it up, how/why did she also die? How was marguerit tied into all of this? I knew sam talked to her, but what did she do exactly?||

[eternal garnet]

Some of that is answered in the PDAs you didn't listen to.|| Sam planned to blow the place up using Marges explosives. She was surprised by Parvan when setting it up, it exploded, she died and Parvan too. A PDA in the rubble has a sound recording of this. Why store the cure instead of use it? I don't know this one||

[narrow cove]

Oh i probably missed those pdas lol

[eternal garnet]

this was all ||Marges idea. She also suggested blowing Omega up, but she did this herself||

[narrow cove]

So ||why did she want to blow it up??||

[eternal garnet]

to stop Alterra ||using kharaa for bad||

Can't be sure they would, but she can't trust them
