[modest fable]

As you said, they stop being helpful when you build the body

Are there any items they can't gather?

[quick terrace]

they only give certain things

[modest fable]

Raw resources, I suppose

[eternal garnet]

lots. they only get basic materials, and table coral

best is diamond, nickel

[quick terrace]

I'm kinda glad I found that out on the wiki instead of ingame cause I would hate to have done that then gone to get more resources from them and realized that they want to steal stuff again

[modest fable]

I'm guessing they can't give you Ion cubes

[eternal garnet]

no

[modest fable]

As expected

[quick terrace]

that would be op

[restive spindle]

ye

[carmine bobcat]

Fun fact, the Preston's Plant/Delight is named after Marge's Snow Stalker, Preston

[lost dagger]

When I go|| build Al-An do have to bring all the ingredients to the fabricator caves?||

[reef owl]

Unless you've been there to build a part already, you'll have to bring everything.

[lost dagger]

ok

[reef owl]

The way the conversation goes with Al-an as you build pieces makes it sound like you were supposed to go there for each piece you find and build it separately rather than all at once. Almost like it should've been found before finding his other parts

[lost dagger]

Thats kind of dumb

[reef owl]

I agree. I assume it's redundancy set aside for the few players that explore everything before story building

[lost dagger]

I guess

[restive spindle]

yes

[summer coyote]

subnautica has better ending change my mind

[ancient shoal]

No need to change your mind

[carmine bobcat]

arctic spires fun

[tropic torrent]

how do i get lantern plants easy quick

[eternal garnet]

outpost zero. On the north ice wall, just east of your crash site. Go under the ice by some ice fruit, and up on land

[tawny crescent]

Listen lantern plants are great but fevered peppers ftw

[maiden rampart]

"totally normal Subnautica below zero world"

[neon anvil]

Hey guys! Really getting into this base-making thing. I put a scanner room on top of 3 multi-purpose rooms and now I'm trying to build a ladder to go up to the scanner room. Game won't let me though. Why?

[sterile shadow]

The building for the Scanner Room is a bit wonky. It doesn't function like the Multipurpose Room or some of the other similar rooms. Here's a screenshot from Subnautica's wiki that details this further.

[neon anvil]

I should've thought to look at the wiki. Sounds like I need to deconstruct it then rotate it as I'm building it somewhat adjacent to my multipurpose rooms. Thanks!

[buoyant kiln]

.... I want a Pengling plushie....

[neon anvil]

Forget a plushie! I want a remote-controlled Pengling!

[buoyant kiln]

Nah, I want a Pengling plushie to go with the plushie of my lil OC. XD

[sterile shadow]

Forget a Spy Pengling.. I want a Snowfox!!!!!

[buoyant kiln]

Forget the Snowfox, I want the Builder Tool and the PDA. Ill build my own stuff with local materials.

[sterile shadow]

You have won this round...

[bronze sleet]

Forget any of those, I just want a PC powerful enough to run SN well.

Have you considered that the reason I don’t have a newer pc is because I don’t have enough money to upgrade?

[maiden rampart]

can you guys help?

[bronze sleet]

And that the online service would almost definitely cost more money?

[maiden rampart]

I was riding this whale thing and I drowned now there is no water?

[neon anvil]

You can ride the whales?

[maiden rampart]

ye

and I basically respawned on them when I drowned

[neon anvil]

Weird.

Where did you respawn?

[glacial moth]

I'm new in below zero, what did i need to do here?

[sterile shadow]

Have you ||disabled the Communications Tower on Delta Island||?

[glacial moth]

oh no

xddddddddddddddddddddddddd

[white kite]

I FINALLY beat it on Hardcore!!!

[surreal tusk]

nice

the only thing harder is mods

[tame fulcrum]

||he must have. after disabling it, Margaret leaves her base and retreats to her greenhouse, location in PDA message from her||

[midnight flume]

uh guys

vum(.)ngo

what does that mean ?

some people are typing this in the chat of the stream ?

[tame fulcrum]

is there a way to make scanner output colored?

eg to make magnetite different color, like green?

[formal fjord]

I don't think so. The scanner room just shows you the location of what you searched for- it doesn't exactly count as a waypoint or beacon.

[tame fulcrum]

it's super annoying, I probably not gonna use hud chip because it clutters vision so much

maybe only for leviathan

[tame fulcrum]

Why use Motorbike when you can use Prawn Suit? It's insanely fast with Jet upgrade

[carmine bobcat]

i use the prawn in the arctic spires

i use snowfox in the glacial basin

[broken badge]

The door is first unlocked when you’ve spoken to her on delta island

And go to the last known pilot’s location

I know what I’m talking about

Once you talk to her at delta you can visit her base, the first time

Of course you should have a seatruck by then, you should get that made before leaving twisty tbh

And there’s oxygen plants on the way to her base as well

I’m not talking about anyone, I’m talking about how you play the game

Lol, you think I care? I know how the game works

This is exactly what I was saying

[tame fulcrum]

It's locked after disabling tower. She's in her greenhouse

[broken badge]

People like to roam about sometimes, just to explore. It’s not completely unheard of

[eternal garnet]

the door unlocks when you meet her on delta.

[broken badge]

There’ll always be outliers where people don’t play the game the way it’s scripted

[eternal garnet]

Getting to the door with no truck is hard, but not very hard

[tropic torrent]

whats the easiest way to get seeds for farming ?

[broken badge]

That’s very true could be any number of reasons. Maybe someone said here lilypads was good area for getting something so they just headed out for the biome and lucked out finding the place. We may never know

Knife whatever you want to grow, you’ll need growbed for them

[tropic torrent]

are you talkng to me

[broken badge]

Except a few things you just collect and plant the entire thing @tropic torrent

But most you knife

[tropic torrent]

i mean seeds for food because im tired of chasing fish

[broken badge]

There’s interior growbed inside outpost zero

But you can also find small pots inside several places

[tame fulcrum]

Or progress story, you get indoor growbed too later, no need to visit Zero

[eternal garnet]

usable food: fevered peppers, nuts, potato, lantern fruit

melons

[tropic torrent]

where do i find those

ive played like 9 hrs i dont have any

[eternal garnet]

go with peppers, they are nice. Arctic, west

or, the nuts from delta

[tame fulcrum]

And the big blue berries. Forget name

[eternal garnet]

preston plant, bit later in game

they aren't great except to pacify dogs

[tame fulcrum]

No preston is purple

[tropic torrent]

how dafuq do i get peppers there theres only ice

[tame fulcrum]

I meant the berries which takes 4 spaces

[eternal garnet]

they grow in the caves etc

[tropic torrent]

im too lazy for this

[junior vapor]

Cured fish gathered with grav trap and salt byproduced in water filtration system

[tame fulcrum]

There is a recipe with Preston leaves

[eternal garnet]

died, too lazy to eat. Sad story

[tropic torrent]

can i stream so someone can give me directions for seeds lol

i killed chat brutal

[tame fulcrum]

Have you found delta island?

[tropic torrent]

oh thats a good idea ill just do that instead

[tame fulcrum]

There is a first plant you encounter

You still need indoor growbed - later in story or in outpost zero

[tame fulcrum]

Alien containtement with Bladder fishes and nutrient bar which are almost endless supply was my early game food

[junior vapor]

I always run out of bars lol

Maybe because i mess with the game doing something like aquarium seatruck trains without actually exploring the world

[tame fulcrum]

Bars for travel. On base I catch and cooked fishes

This way I use bars in emergency

[junior vapor]

Oh true, same

[tame fulcrum]

I found all the bases too late into the game

My tech was limited

[junior vapor]

I remember recently swimming around the rock in the middle of lilypads trying to find something

[tame fulcrum]

Oh I haven't found that something yet

[waxen kindle]

ive heard this fevered peppers a lot, where are they found

[eternal garnet]

all over the arctic land area. it's west

[waxen kindle]

aight ty

[eternal garnet]

My preferred bio fuel

[waxen kindle]

true

i have a nuclear reactor f inally

bruh i have to upload 15 thousand files for my modded mc server so ima play subnautica

while its transferring

[eternal garnet]

zip, upload, unzip. FTP is slow for each file

[unique oyster]

helo

i found a bug

wen you put the sea truck whith the nose down

and detache module

your player will go throu the sub

and walk on the ground

[eternal garnet]

Why would you tag. It's not undoable

[unique oyster]

because pepole need to now the bug for fixing it

!

[eternal garnet]

hopefully it didn't work. Thousands of people in here you know

[unique oyster]

Yes that why i remove the tag

[eternal garnet]

you can't undo it. All you do is hide your mistake

[unique oyster]

Ha

[hollow belfry]

hey meatie, do you know of anywhere with a map of crystal caves and/or fabricator caverns? it's the one thing from either game I don't know the layout at all for

[carmine bobcat]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Subnautica_Below_Zero/comments/oha6ot/spoilers_crystal_caves_map/

[hollow belfry]

ooh, ty
the patrol routes actually make that pretty useful for me to orient myself

[carmine bobcat]

true

[eternal garnet]

roughly, east is down deeper

[hollow belfry]

especially since I put my bases right under leviathans whenever possible XD
I think I have a base under three of the four shadows

[carmine bobcat]

dang

[waxen kindle]

lol

[waxen kindle]

yea i realised that but 8k files are done, halfway through

anyways i finally got the prawnnn suit

[quick terrace]

does anyone know if the Power Order mod exists for BZ yet?

[waxen kindle]

no idea i havent tried modded for subnautica bz

[carmine bobcat]

nicee

[white kite]

I'm guessing you haven't been to

||Delta Station||

Need to hunt around there first

[formal jacinth]

hi

[marble jolt]

Henlo

[hollow belfry]

are there thermal vents in fabricator caverns?

or would I need to use a bioreactor or nuke for power

[fair quarry]

i finally finished it

||i cured the monster|| only after hours of searching

[hollow belfry]

oh wow, you can regenerate ion cubes just by partially constructing a recyclotron and then deconstructing it

[tame fulcrum]

Wow that's even smarter then my recyclotron abuse with charging ion cells

[hollow belfry]

that makes teleporting a bit easier

I had that idea too and was going to implement it

[tame fulcrum]

I've said recyclotron is abusable

But haven't thought of this xd

[hollow belfry]

I found it by accident just testing if you could build that with a depleted cube

[tame fulcrum]

I haven't found teleport module so haven't tried myself yet

[hollow belfry]

you have to ||scan 10 alien artifacts|| to unlock it; you won't find pieces to scan like with other modules

[tame fulcrum]

I guess 1-2 to go

[hollow belfry]

unfortunately, multiple teleporter modules just don't work
the tether item tells you that it'll teleport you to the nearest one, but it'll only ever teleport you to the first one you built

I'll add the recyclotron trick to the wiki when I can edit it

[tame fulcrum]

How can I see comments on Wiki?

[crisp flicker]

I think vry bottom

[ornate plume]

waste of ion cubes

[hollow belfry]

?

[slate wharf]

Any news on the sequel?

[hollow belfry]

the sequel?

[eternal garnet]

no. There are no plans announced

[hollow belfry]

the next game the team works on won't be subnautica, if that's what you're asking

[slate wharf]

ty for the answer good sir

[pliant quail]

Am i supposed to do anything here? It's where ||al-an told you about the portals, unless like in the first game, can only be activated from the main hub on the other side||

[formal fjord]

Not really. It's something that will come in handy further on.

[tawny crescent]

Come back later

[carmine bobcat]

Original subnautica was way better than bz, despite the story being harder to figure out,

[pliant quail]

Well, you can guess what happen here

[tame fulcrum]

I find original subnautica easier to figure the plot out then bz

[carmine bobcat]

Bz they practically spoon feed,

also the map was a lot more boring,

I also found the original to be more emmersive,

[tame fulcrum]

Well I realised there is a map for all the bases on delta island too late xd

[carmine bobcat]

i went there first,

the biomes were just boring, with no real reason to explore any of them,

[tame fulcrum]

Yeah I agree with no reason to explore, but that can be said on a lot of original biomes too

[carmine bobcat]

true, but you had to explore for wrecks, and cuase you didnt really know where to go,

also, they completely removed the thrill of being in dangerous situations,

the leviathins were just pitiful

[tame fulcrum]

Yep. Reaper>all leviathans

[carmine bobcat]

even the ghost leviathins were good,

in BZ, the shadow leviathins were just to small, and easy to ignore,

the other guys in the water, i basically never saw, if i did i just went passed and completely ignore

i'll have to give credit to the ice worms tho, those were good,

to bad I just had to run past them tho, and didnt have to explore any of there caves,

[modest fable]

Doesn't help that a quarter of the map is just empty terrain

The Arctic "Biome" is just wasted space

You could easily fit another 3 biomes in the space it takes up

[broken badge]

Everyone has their own opinions of course. I think BZ’s biomes are wonderfully done, many better than the og biomes

QoL overall is so much better

[modest fable]

I do like many of Below Zero's biomes, but I just can't ignore the huge amounts of empty space.

[summer compass]

I know that I’ve asked this in the past but is Below Zero a sequel or a midquel?

[broken badge]

Doesn’t feel empty to me other than some area of land, which should be rather desolate at least some areas for Arctic

BZ isn’t a sequel it’s considered a standalone expansion so while it started out as DLC it grew to be bigger than that, still not quite as big as a full game like Subnautica so it’s not considered SN2. Hope that helps

[summer compass]

Thank you. I am hoping that we get to see another game with Robin and Al-an.

[tawny crescent]

I like bz but base building areas are hard to find for me

[modest fable]

I've ran out of spots to build in

[tawny crescent]

Also the volcanic areas are kinda barren except tree spires

[broken badge]

Lillypads works well to build in

Upper that is

[summer compass]

Still curious on ||how deep the Architect Homeworld goes||

[modest fable]

Its probably all just skybox

[summer compass]

Not in BZ, but in general

[modest fable]

Oh I see

Just rediscovered this thing. Probably the only interesting part of the Arctic biome.

Might build nearby

[tawny crescent]

Ive never seen this
Or maybe i dont remember

[summer compass]

I came up with a little theory on why we don’t see the Ice Dragon Leviathan or the area that it spawns in. ||Because before leaving the planet, the architects|| used a giant ship to take the ice dragon from its natural habitat and then completely exploded the biome causing a major collision and being completely covered up.

[tawny crescent]

I normally dont ask for directions but...
Where might i find this

[modest fable]

Near the Lilypads biome

If you go to the Lilypads from Delta Island, you'll wanna go left

Look around until you spot a Chelicerate circling nearby

[glossy meteor]

someone pls help so when in margarites green house she tell you too pick up a pda to get the location to another green house but i never got a location.

[modest fable]

There is no other greenhouse

[tawny crescent]

Oh nvm i see it

[glossy meteor]

she says help yourself to the greenhouse

[modest fable]

Yeah, help yourself to the one you're currently in

[glossy meteor]

while in the green house

[modest fable]

Just start grabbing stuff

[glossy meteor]

i tried everything

[tawny crescent]

Theres one green hpuse the pda tells you where the antidote is

[glossy meteor]

okay thx

[outer mirage]

||I'm curious does below zero have multiple endings?||

[tawny crescent]

No

[marble jolt]

This wasn't too fun

[hollow verge]

im not sure if this is the place to ask but, can you use mods in the epic games version?

[outer mirage]

||okay next question, what do I do with the thing beside the giant leviathans head if anything?||

[carmine bobcat]

a trivalve cant die right

[eternal garnet]

it can, but it has massive HP

[eternal garnet]

if you find a cure, this is where it goes

[meager trench]

if i didnt take enough water with myself to the island where sunbeam should land i have to play again? Or maybe there is some other source of water without fabricator?

[eternal garnet]

no... it's fine if you die, or even miss it. But wrong channel
Ah yes, cut some bulbo tree on the beach

[meager trench]

that actually help thanks 🙂 Sorry for wrong channel

[eternal garnet]

You can grow those

[carmine bobcat]

If I raise alot of penguins or cryptosuchus in an alien containment can I release them around my base and they will live their peacefully

I would like to raise alot of both but I want them to be peaceful

[eternal garnet]

they won't attack you, otherwise they are as wild ones

[carmine bobcat]

If I release alot of them in the deep twisty bridges will they kill those big creatures

[eternal garnet]

probably not

You can bump them with the truck, just a few times and it dies

I'm not sure if it will respawn

[carmine bobcat]

Are there alot in there, I was on my camera and I saw one

[eternal garnet]

no

[carmine bobcat]

Okay thank you I will kill it today

[eternal garnet]

brute sharks die easily, squidsharks are a bit bigger and tougher

[carmine bobcat]

Are they like the chelicerate

Do they eat my truck or will they just slap it

[eternal garnet]

no they are much smaller and not a leviathan, well borderline

They do cut your truck power though. but just a few seconds

[carmine bobcat]

Thank you for the help

[broken badge]

I’m guessing it’s like in Subnautica where containment-raised creatures remain passive to player but will still attack player vehicles, so you may not want to release things that’ll chew on your seatruck for example around your bases

[carmine bobcat]

Like releasing a cryptosuchus or squidshark

[broken badge]

Yeah, I personally wouldn’t release them around a base

[carmine bobcat]

Yeah, wasn't my best idea, wasn't my worst...

[void plume]

Where's the best place to find magnetite?

[carmine bobcat]

Deep lilypad caves

[void plume]

Thanks.

[carmine bobcat]

No problem

[waxen kindle]

sea monkys once ||al-an is in your head||

[vague marsh]

subnautica

[marble jolt]

Has anyone else found this bug?

[carmine bobcat]

Yeah, very regularly

It's kinda normal

[eternal garnet]

it's the jacuzzi feature you get for free

[marble jolt]

Lol

[maiden aurora]

Is there anything fun to do after finish the game?

[hollow sail]

yea that's pretty accurate

[pliant quail]

What do i do with these?

[spice seal]

scan them

You need to craft one for a story item

[modest fable]

They're part of a side quest

You get good loot if you complete it, so I'd recommend scanning them.

[fair quarry]

On December 23rd i have played for 23 hours

Yea completely worth it

[waxen kindle]

Ofc

[daring epoch]

I'm trying to explore the world in creative and found the void

Ain't no way I'm being caught down there

[dry knot]

Hi. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MTwNX9bKhTdB_v-3QOBpie7O_GvE9ud3IV77qK-b9Lk/edit?usp=drivesdk

[amber hemlock]

Forgot one: “play with mods”

[amber hemlock]

Nice randomly posting private docs

[sterile shadow]

True. I'll add that 👌

[carmine bobcat]

crystal caves doesnt scare me anymore

with the perimiter defense, i feel im invincible

[fringe solar]

right?? hahaha!I did too, when I finally got that on my seatruck! then the leviathons were more of an annoyance than scarey

[carmine bobcat]

yep, my next mission now is to find the ||fabricator base||

[carmine bobcat]

requires skill to pick up a preston delight

[maiden aurora]

currently completeed 6

[formal fjord]

I felt that module was to OP so I never installed on my PRAWN. Big mistake- I eventually came back to no PRAWN.

[maiden aurora]

how

[carmine bobcat]

just need the prawn for the drills

[formal fjord]

Left it unguarded in the Depp Crystal Caves and apparently a Leviathan found it.

[maiden aurora]

I shock the leviathan, come out russian style charges toward leviathan with a heat knife get 3 good slices. get to prawn suit grapple and drill the hell out of them

[carmine bobcat]

and some of the small caves of the crystal caves are hot so free charge for the prawn

[maiden aurora]

my god just hide it beneath a crystal the leviathan hitbox should not find or damage it

[formal fjord]

Terminator: Chapter 16

[maiden aurora]

literally slaying leviathan marg style

[carmine bobcat]

i have a seatruck docking module so the prawn stays safe with me

[formal fjord]

That's something I learnt afterwards when I found out about the patrol pattern of the Leviathans.

[maiden aurora]

lol by the way they definitely uped the seatruck health compare to the original seamoth

[formal fjord]

Though now that I think of it, I don't think the PRAWN has perimeter defence....

[maiden aurora]

yeah but because the health is about the same for prawn and seatruck

[carmine bobcat]

arent the damages different tho

[maiden aurora]

so it should take 3 attack from the leviathan to conpletely break it if they are doing to the animation

[maiden aurora]

no it is the same with 100 goes to 67 or something assuming the same damage 34 and one more about the time they destroy it

but again it is easy to make

I am gonna make it my mission to hunt down at least one of every leviathan

[carmine bobcat]

ye damage is about the same

[maiden aurora]

I want to leave some so the nature is still beautiful

[carmine bobcat]

just the prawn suit has less durability

[maiden aurora]

it does? that is interesting

[carmine bobcat]

got a little off topic there

[maiden aurora]

ok

[carmine bobcat]

ok

[maiden aurora]

I have installed a hatch on the bottom of a i glass corridor in the air and every time i use air bladder and I do a pull-up it is epic

[carmine bobcat]

2 brute sharks bruh just tryna get a fragment

[maiden aurora]

lol trying seatruck?

[carmine bobcat]

i have a twisty bridges base

[maiden aurora]

nice kill all brute shark and leave two and put the rest in alien containment nit

[carmine bobcat]

scanner room helped me find 2 alien artifacts

[maiden aurora]

nice

you got deep purple vent and lilypad ones? and the thermal vent one?

[carmine bobcat]

yep

[maiden aurora]

nice

[carmine bobcat]

whats the thermal vent

[maiden aurora]

idk the biome in front of the delta station dock?

[carmine bobcat]

thermal spires

[maiden aurora]

yes did you get that

[carmine bobcat]

oh wait purple vents

[maiden aurora]

what

[carmine bobcat]

the purple things

[maiden aurora]

that is purple vent that is where the alien artifact gives|| recyclotron||\

[maiden aurora]

there is one in themal spires but it doesn't give any blueprint

[maiden aurora]

yeah its purple vent

that is literally the name

[carmine bobcat]

||koppa mining site||?

[maiden aurora]

no the alien artifact

oh I forgot

[carmine bobcat]

u talkin bout the alien statue

[maiden aurora]

there is 2 one is the required artifact there another one

there is another one other

[carmine bobcat]

oh i knwo what ya talkin about

[maiden aurora]

||than the alien statue it is like a water filtration machine or something, there should be a gap in the ground and you can see one oxygen plant in it||

but it is kinda useless unless you want the entry

what should I do with my truck load of|| ion cubes and kyanite||

[dusty ferry]

Which deals higher DPS? Drill arm or punching?

[maiden aurora]

it is punching

but you have to click your mouse continuously

I prefer drill blood evrywhere nice

[dusty ferry]

thanks

[maiden aurora]

pair with a grapple too you can lach on the leviathan and stay constant damage

[carmine bobcat]

strugglinbto find the fabricator caverns 😭

i just found it right as i sent that

thats crazzyyy

these crystal formations are so cool

[maiden aurora]

nice and yes idk why an alien civilization put stuff in the most not obvious place ever

[carmine bobcat]

now i just need to find where the base is

found it

just created ||alans body||

[maiden aurora]

nice

[carmine bobcat]

Helo

Im happy i just bought below zero a few minutes ago

hehe

[surreal tusk]

nice

[summer coyote]

Guys

Im sueing unkown worlds subnautica below zero MADE my pc BLUE screen

[lost cove]

do you meet the system requirments

[summer coyote]

Yes

It never warned me about requirments

[lost cove]

how much ram do you have

[short hinge]

how long were you playing for

what settings, what applications were you running in the backround, and what are your specs

many factors loll

[lost cove]

ram is usually the main reason why it wont run

[eager sapphire]

i heard about the new moonpool! when its gonna release?

[daring epoch]

I was being hacked and someone kept spamming nitro scams

I had to rejoin this server because of the hacker

[lost cove]

1. please dont ping the devs, kinda rude
2. they never said they were making a new moonpool it was legit a random vote.

[eager sapphire]

#off-topic please

[eager sapphire]

okey

also

it is true. developers are making a new moonpool for the seatruck but with dock modules and maybe a new cyclops

[modest fable]

There is like, one developer video that a single youtuber has posted, and they didn't even give a source.

It could be completely fake.

Even if it is legit, there's no way the Cyclops would fit in it.

[daring epoch]

I just want the Cyclops in Below Zero

Or it is and I genuinely don't know how to get it, I've tried vehicle bay in Creative

[modest fable]

No, its not in Below Zero

[daring epoch]

Ok

[modest fable]

Apparently the Devs thought it was too good of a vehicle, and players were relying on it more than an actual base.

The Seatruck was supposed to be the solution, but its definitely not a very good one.

[daring epoch]

I wonder, since we're on the same planet as the original Subnautica that means the Aurora crash is located somewhere on the planet

[daring epoch]

Yeah, especially when they added the seatruck modules

[modest fable]

Its already the worst vehicle in either Subnautica game in terms of speed and mobility, by adding modules you just make it worse.

I probably won't even bother making any modules for mine in my survival save. The Map's small enough that I can probably get away with it.

[marble jolt]

I only realised how to work the Cyclops cameras after completing the game 😂

[modest fable]

The First Subnautica game, you mean?

This is the Below Zero channel.

[marble jolt]

Oh yeah

I've done this twice now dammit

[modest fable]

top kek

[marble jolt]

😂

[daring epoch]

If you get upgrades which increase its speed and add two modules you'll go fast, either that or no modules

[modest fable]

I wouldn't call that fast - Its still slower than both the Seamoth and Cyclops.

But yeah, that is an option.

Sucks when you're turning around in a cave though.

[daring epoch]

Yeah

I hate bumping into rocks with the modules on

When I've progressed this game alot, I'm gonna build a base at each biome, or st least the ones where I need resources

[unkempt bolt]

Im done with the game and is it a good project to build a base in the void?

[modest fable]

If you don't mind big fish, then yeah

[unkempt bolt]

Ok thx

[modest fable]

Although the Void Chelicerates aren't as appealing to look at as the Ghost Leviathans in the other game.

wtf

Oh its a copy and paste

That's not my IP

[hasty pecan]

Obviously

[modest fable]

top kek

[daring epoch]

There's a mod where the void is transformed into a biome

[hasty pecan]

I’m not that mean

[daring epoch]

What I want to see is them make the planet a literal planet so in Below Zero you can go to the Aurora crash site if you travel far enough, this will never happen though but would be cool to see

[unkempt bolt]

That would be cool

[daring epoch]

Yeah

[unkempt bolt]

Uhm on the land the hot water fountens (Idk what theyre called) my thermal reacter and the prawns thermal reacter doesnt work even if it is 50 decreas

Sorry for the english

Im dutch

[umbral bobcat]

can someone help me

i got the game and i dont know how far I am into the game but I dont know what to do next I visited all alan's places and went to all the places but I dont know what to do next alan isnt saying anything I've aquired the most things I could get but I dont want to search up what to do incase I spoil the game

[narrow cove]

If u went to "all the places", Alan already dropped hints for what u have to do next.

Go through the voice lines again.

Listen/read them carefully.

[umbral bobcat]

okie thanks

[marble jolt]

Where am I meant bring the test overide module to?

[spice seal]

Delta

[karmic fox]

i made those things extinct and im still proud

[marble jolt]

Ahhh

[stray walrus]

The big satellite tower thing

[marble jolt]

Where you first meet ||the woman||?

[sterile shadow]

Yes, on the same island.

[carmine bobcat]

Lol "the woman"

[carmine bobcat]

I don't plam you for not knowing her name I just found that funny

[marble jolt]

Lol

What is her name?

Nvm

[south trout]

OK, my super basic yet fully efficient mini-base is finally ready! from here i can move forward, damn shame i did not have that mineral scanner in the 1st Subnautica...that would have made things sooo much more easy

maby not easy but less time consuming, now i just need to find the re-breather mask so i can really cheese it,

[modest fable]

Where'd you build this?

[south trout]

Near the big gap of the twisty bridges

i can always dismatle it all and move to another place

iam also tired of hunting for fish all the time soo the trees come in handy

now i just need that re-breather mask and with 5x Enchanced O2 tank in My EQ i can stay underwater for a loooong time

[modest fable]

You could just get a Seatruck or PRAWN Suit

[south trout]

not the point here

Seaytruck or Prawn have a depth limit...with the mask I do not, see my point?

ofcourse i will need to build em later

[modest fable]

I see.

[south trout]

but atm the mask is more efficiant

once i get that mask i can go Inspect the signal at twisty bridges without a vehicle

[carmine bobcat]

CO-OP PLSSSSSSSS

Imagine a mod that replaces Robin with Ringo Starr.

[maiden rampart]

anyone help plz

I can't find anymore of thost parallel thingy

in the mercury 2 ship

I searched the whole ship

[clear siren]

There's 3 fragments of the ship, at most there's 2 fragments in a part

(and some only have 1)

[maiden rampart]

Unfortunately I only found 2 fragments and I searched the whole entire ship for any fragments

[clear siren]

All 3 parts of it?

[maiden rampart]

2

Wait

[clear siren]

Yeah I made a typo sorry

[maiden rampart]

I'll try again tomorrow

[clear siren]

Guessing you found the stern

[maiden rampart]

Subnautica really placed a Lazer cutter fragment at the otherside of the door that needed to be Lazer cuttered

[clear siren]

[carmine bobcat]

titanium lol

[modest fable]

Free Titanium

Don't complain about that

[quick terrace]

personally I don't find the mineral detector to be very helpful at all

I usually found resources myself before I could locate the ones it was showing me

cause there's no visual location marker like in the scanner room

[south trout]

Good But imagine u Gotta find just one ore u need...But u just cant

If u have the scanner room xD

[quick terrace]

yeah I'd just use that lol

scanner room >> mineral detector any day

[south trout]

I need the mask...its in twisty Bridges with that i Got over 5 min of air with No depth penalty

I need it

Before I go and bult the truck

[quick terrace]

yeah the databox for it is on one of those little bases that's just a foundation with some stuff on it

takes a little bit to find if you don't know exactly what area of the Twisty Bridges it's in

[south trout]

I miss my cyclops too...damn i loved that ride

On my 2nd play I dident even build a base just turned the cyclops in to a mobile one

[marble jolt]

I just encountered my first shadow leviathan

Safe to say they are freaking scary

[wicked folio]

MERRY XMAS

[marble jolt]

You to!

[narrow cove]

Okay so i just scanned a chelicerate, and the pda tells me there is also a different mutation of this species, outside the sector in the void (Void Chelicerate).

Is it really different?

And like if it is different, can i scan it and get another data bank entry for leviathans?

(So bassicly is it like the pepper and oculus? Where they are both vissualy different, and have different data bank entries? Or is the "is a rare mutation" just a nice detail, that doesn't actually reflect in game, and they are actually completely the same)

[waxen kindle]

i made a void base and i think the coloring is different

[narrow cove]

But did anyone try to scan them?

[crystal fog]

visual difference, but i don't believe void chelicerates have their own entry

[quick terrace]

it's also like 20m longer

regular Chelicerates are 40m, the void ones are 60m and they also don't have the grab animation for the Sea Truck, they just do damage to it

[void plume]

Bruh, all my prawn suit upgrades disappeared

[carmine bobcat]

true

[maiden aurora]

finish the game

[carmine bobcat]

ya

i didnt see the beacon

[unkempt bolt]

Is the booster tank worth it?

[eternal garnet]

only for the glitch associated with it

Hold a fish with the prop cannon. 5x swim speed until air runs out

[unkempt bolt]

Why dont they fix it

[eternal garnet]

for regular use, no you need the air to live

[unkempt bolt]

Ok

[eternal garnet]

why fix that? it's fun

[unkempt bolt]

I know but its game breaking

[eternal garnet]

no it isn't

you are unlikely to find this by accident

[unkempt bolt]

But any devs who read it. Leave the glitch in the game

I use the propulsion cannon for fishing🙃

[vagrant ridge]

Anyone else seeing void chelicerates spawn out of bounds in the glacier areas?

[eternal garnet]

if you are on experimental, then yes, that's a bug not present in the regular version

[nimble needle]

I think this guys a bot

Seems kinda sus ngl. Posting this in every channel.

[maiden aurora]

unless you know the glitch

[echo aspen]

how does one dodge the shadow levi

[eternal garnet]

best way to deal with it, fire truck perimeter defense just as it attacks

another way: have at least one truck module and leave the controls on attack

[echo aspen]

ok and hodw do i know its coming?

[eternal garnet]

in the first method, you don't need to know

just fire, and it cancels the attack. Don't fire before attack!

[echo aspen]

but is their a like music change when it spawns and despawns or something

[eternal garnet]

no. it patrols, it's always there

[echo aspen]

so there isnt a good way to know if it spots me or not?

[eternal garnet]

it aims for you? Not really

Honestly, with perimeter defense there's no need to fear it anymore. It's on the floor in the "pilot"'s home

[maiden aurora]

you dont you slaughter it

[quick terrace]

I've used this method quite a bit to avoid the ||Shadow Leviathan|| since he's around a lot but ngl it does feel kinda cheaty that your Sea Truck suddenly becomes invincible as soon as you stop piloting it

I wish it wasn't the case

I already scrapped my perimeter defence cause it was too overpowered

[eternal garnet]

logically, it makes no sound and is no threat. But it is instant

[quick terrace]

yeah, it doesn't make sense for it to be mid-attack and suddenly lose interest or be unable to do any damage

[eternal garnet]

this way the AI doesn't need to have memory

Game AI - very complex stuff

[quick terrace]

it's always intrigued me that it's possible to make virtual things that simulate something seeing you and wanting to attack you

[eternal garnet]

and being able to find you and find a path to you

[maiden aurora]

you dont avoid the shadow leviathan you kill it first

[eternal garnet]

you aren't meant to kill any large creature in this game

[maiden aurora]

you sure?

[eternal garnet]

yes, I saw the dev interview

[maiden aurora]

*makes every leviathan extincts

[quick terrace]

Uhh, I disagree.

[eternal garnet]

But yes you can, if you really want

[marble jolt]

How do you get past it? I met it today and I don't want to go back atm 😂

[maiden aurora]

I am technically in the leviathan hunt squad

[eternal garnet]

you... drive past it. Deflect attacks and go on

[marble jolt]

Ah

[maiden aurora]

you kill it

[eternal garnet]

no, shut up

[maiden aurora]

nono

[quick terrace]

honestly idk why people find it so hard to avoid leviathans...they attack you once then usually swim away and that gives you plenty of time to move on and continue along, they're not hard to get past

[maiden aurora]

yeah I slice it on time with heat knife they are like oh no

[marble jolt]

It did 55 damage to my prawn immediately, I'm not going to try and kill it

[eternal garnet]

even in the prawn: Get attacked, repair immediately becxause of the attack cooldown, then carry on

[quick terrace]

exactly

[marble jolt]

I'll try that

[carmine bobcat]

just finished alans story

[eternal garnet]

you are safe for at least 10 seconds. Enough to repair

[quick terrace]

imagine leviathans with no attack cooldown xD

that should be a feature in deathrun

[eternal garnet]

well, the ice worm is a bit like that

[maiden aurora]

I try to kill the ice worm only realizing it is a terrain

kills 5 snow stalker in stead

[eternal garnet]

it is a hallucination, special effects

[quick terrace]

at least the Ice Worm can't be killed so people can't spoil the aspect of it being in the game

[maiden aurora]

yeah

[quick terrace]

a deadly hallucination 😛

[eternal garnet]

dying - it's all in your head

[carmine bobcat]

reincarnation

[keen timber]

Can anyone see this message?

[quick terrace]

yes?

why would they not be able to

[keen timber]

kk

WiFi doesn’t seem to work

[eternal garnet]

Wifi on 4546B is weak. Must be the salty cold air

[carmine bobcat]

alterras wifi

[sharp vale]

So, I played the first subnautica on mouse and keyboard on steam- but i'm realizing i won't be able to get a steam code for it through gamestop. I have a PS4, but i tried using a controller for the first subnautica- just to try it out- it felt awkward.

how does below zero compare, mouse and keyboard vs ps4 controller on ps4?

like, building, navigation, all that stuff

[eternal garnet]

since you don't need much aiming, controller works fine. Navigating inventory grids is the main issue

and no tool hotkeys, just left-right

[sharp vale]

I did notice with the Seamoth, controller wasn't as precise as WASD movement

is the same true with the Seatruck?

[eternal garnet]

no, but it's fine. Memory on PS4 is a little tight tho

Save often

[sharp vale]

gotcha

[narrow cove]

Okay so i am about to go explore the crystal caves in search for kyanite, so i get get mk3 on seatruck and mk2 on prawn suit, so i can go get alan's organs. But before i do that, i was wondering, do we have statis rifle/repulsion canon in this game? Cause i haven't found any fragment of either so far

[eternal garnet]

neither, but I believe both are avaialble by cheat

[narrow cove]

D:

[eternal garnet]

if you finished, I feel it's a free pass to cheat

[narrow cove]

Honestly they removed so much cool stuff which made everyone's life easier in subnautica.

And instead replaced them with either really expensive solutions which do a poor job, or with nothing at all....

[eternal garnet]

like pinned recipes, consistent keymapping for Switch container, etc

^ sarcasm

[narrow cove]

I would trade u any day the "pinned recipes" for the ability to build stuff inside the seatruck with the habitat builder

Like honestly, u need a whole module for just one fabricator.

[eternal garnet]

and a tiny, tiny storage

[narrow cove]

And it only offers 12 storage places. 12. In the cyclops i had walls full of lockers

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/103560355065634816/914528769149128724/unknown.png

[eternal garnet]

couldn't afford lighting, sad

<@&85343211593166848>

Don't click that, free nitro is always a password stealing scam

[lament wraith]

Oh crap it’s in ALL the channels

[eternal garnet]

It will steal your steam password, and change your password

[narrow cove]

Honestly, i'm willing to bet, that so much cool stuff was taken out (cyclops, shield, statis riffle, repulsion canon, sonar and so on), because, unlike subnautica, they didn't manage to make the game threatening enough, and instead they took the easier way out, by nerfing/eliminating useful tools which the player had to keep safe.

[eternal garnet]

plenty of players say BZ isn't as scary. (I don't agree)

[narrow cove]

It isn't.

[eternal garnet]

What I see is players seeing a new leviathan and never go to the place again

[narrow cove]

The simplest exemple of it, is the reaper compared to the checi-... whatever it's name is

[junior vapor]

big shrimp

[narrow cove]

The reaper was terrifying, and instilled fear into the hearts of the players. U knew that once the water turned murky, and u started to hear those screechings, you knew u were in big trouble.

Like i didn't once pick a fight with the reaper. Now instead, when i saw the checi, i litteraly just swimmed after it, scanning it.

[sharp vale]

Oh my first playthrough, i avoided the crashzone whenever possible XD Second playthrough, i thought "Alright, show no fear this time...", made frequent trips to the crash zone once i had the rad suit.... and may have fought a couple of reapers along the way 😛 Also... depopulated the lake of all ghosts...

[narrow cove]

The main reason why it isn't half as scary (the checi compared to the reaper) and the game overalll, it's the size difference between them

https://i.redd.it/wauxx0vcuwl71.jpg

[marble jolt]

I mean if they did the shadow leviathan as the Chelicerate it'd be so cool

[narrow cove]

The the only thing which are actually scary in bz, are the void checilerate (mostly bcs of the ghost like white, and the void), and the ice worm (bcs u can't see it coming, it's huge, and u can't dmg it)

[marble jolt]

Agreed

[eternal garnet]

no mention of the snow stalkers smell? Their smell is terrifying

[marble jolt]

But you can't smell them?

[narrow cove]

Snowstalkers are really just the stalkers of the land. Scary right when u get there, but once u have 1 item (in this case flare) they are bassicly puppies.

[lament wraith]

Tbh, the leviathans in BZ still scared me almost as badly as the original. I had a crippling fear of heading to one zone because I just got harassed. The big deep one in bz was scary but ||shock module|| avoided that.

I ended up naming the two ||chelicerates|| the twin masters because they always swam together its also a reference to smthn

[narrow cove]

The only moments i got scared in bz, was when the pda all of a sudden announced me i was in the dead zone when i thought i was actually just going to visit the ventgarden.

[lament wraith]

Remember spoiler tags

[narrow cove]

? What's even the spoiler?

A name?

[lament wraith]

Actually nvm

I mean it’s a biome, not really a spoiler sorry

[marble jolt]

The first time meeting a ||shadow leviathan|| is pretty scary

[narrow cove]

I thought they were scary, until i realized they are smaller than|| a ghost juvenile||.

The only scary thing about them is the dmg they do.

[hollow belfry]

yeah, ghosts are kinda insane

[marble jolt]

They're really fast tho

[hollow belfry]

||shadows|| are really cool but a little weird to interact with
for me their attack is really inconsistent; sometimes they just straight-up miss and bump into me without damaging me
hard to follow what's happening

very fun to watch them patrol

[marble jolt]

I've only encountered one but it did so much damage and was really fast

[hollow belfry]

pretty sure it does the same damage as all hostile leviathans (ie. cheli and void cheli)

80%

[marble jolt]

Ah nvm I thought I was at full health before fighting it 😂

[hollow belfry]

reinforced dive suit lets you survive 2 attacks which is really nice
since if they bite you once they'll go away

[narrow cove]

They like the chase that's for sure lol.

[carmine bobcat]

why use snowfox when prawn exists

[marble jolt]

Snowfox has the iceworm reduction thing

[hollow belfry]

snowfox is fast and small I guess

[marble jolt]

And you get it first

[narrow cove]

Bcs everyone wants to glide

[marble jolt]

It helps with damage?

[narrow cove]

It does 75 to player(without suit) i think

so u survive 2 bites without the reinforced suit anyway?

[hollow belfry]

reinforced dive suit halves all damage

[marble jolt]

Oh wow

[hollow belfry]

you die on the second bite without it

[marble jolt]

Ima keep that in at all times

[olive bay]

i just got BZ and, well, everything looks much more saturated than og

[hollow belfry]

change your settings

[olive bay]

its like a reskin

[hollow belfry]

options > graphics > gamma maybe

[olive bay]

no, its supposed to be this way

[hollow belfry]

ah

there's a lot of really pretty locations in bz

[eternal garnet]

avoid "filmic mode", dark and oversaturated

[marble jolt]

Agreed

[olive bay]

nice so the people here also think alterra sucks

[hollow belfry]

I forget, do outcrops respawn?

[olive bay]

i think so

[marble jolt]

Do ore veins materials respawn?

[eternal garnet]

no, except on some platforms where chunks don't save properly sometimes

[hard dove]

does anyone have experience with coding

im trying to make poketwo auto catcher bot for my server

so i can grind

i wanna be able to turn it on and off and make it able to direct catches to whoever i want

[hollow belfry]

wrong chat

yooo, being able to use your own jukebox music is so cool

[carmine bobcat]

Is there a ||Lava Zone|| in below zero?

[hollow belfry]

nope

but there's still a pretty deep area :)
just not lava

[carmine bobcat]

I expected below zero to force you to go deeper-

[hollow belfry]

it's a bit less deep than the original
but there's a bunch of things on land to make up for it

[quick terrace]

I wondered about this too and was disappointed when I found out there wasn't one

[carmine bobcat]

Yeah its a shame that below zero missed out on so many cool things that made subnautica magical

[hollow belfry]

imo there's things in bz that make it more magical than the original

there's so many amazing places

[carmine bobcat]

Below zero feels more focused on the story rather than in Subnautica you get giant ||submarines|| that go thousands of meters deep

[hollow belfry]

it is a bit more story-focused

[quick terrace]

I wish there were more deeper, darker biomes in BZ like the Blood Kelp Zones in Subnautica

[carmine bobcat]

Yeah its a shame

[olive bay]

apparently subnautica wasnt meant to be a horror game, so they made BZ not horror

[carmine bobcat]

Below zero just feels like an easier game in general with less biomes

[olive bay]

yes

[quick terrace]

I mean the ||Crystal Caves and Fabricator Caverns|| are still cool but just not the same as the Lava Zone with the Sea Dragon

[carmine bobcat]

they barely go deep you can still bring your seatruck down there-

[quick terrace]

personally I don't find BZ to be easier although that might be because I basically already knew how to beat Subnautica before I bought it so I never had the challenge of having to figure out everything myself

now in BZ I actually have to find out everything and how to do stuff so it seems harder

[carmine bobcat]

Who else found it cool that|| Marguerit Maida|| survived?

[marble jolt]

I did stuff in the wrong order by accident

[carmine bobcat]

But below zero didnt give me the truly alone and deserted vibe that subnautica gave me

[quick terrace]

yeah, a lot of people like the isolation aspect of Subnautica and I can agree, although it is cool that BZ has actual npc characters that you can interact with like ||Marguerite and Al-An||

and the fact that Robin actually speaks

while Riley just grunts and yelps lol

[carmine bobcat]

yeah but that kind of drifts away from the original objective of subnautica is to feel alone

[eternal garnet]

You aren't alone, there's the imaginary friend, and the grumpy friend

[carmine bobcat]

in subnautica you truly feel alone and deserted also the world feels bigger and a lot scarier below zero feels like a small game with a few characters and a decent story line

[eternal garnet]

yes. Things are allowed to change

[carmine bobcat]

Ofc they are it just didnt feel like subnautica ynow

[quick terrace]

I had an idea for another Subnautica called "Subnautica: Into the Abyss" that would have everything I wished BZ had: another Lava Zone, even deeper than in the first game, more scary leviathans, a lot of very deep, dark biomes and that feeling of isolation and smallness again
and the Atlas submarine

[carmine bobcat]

that name is 🔥

[quick terrace]

and lots of scary music

[carmine bobcat]

yeah it would be cool to have the original subnautica terror experience

[narrow cove]

||u can find diamonds at 300 meters, and rubies at 200. || And so on with a lot of other stuff. It would have been cool to go deeper, but it kinda defeated the purpose to do so. (and we don't have the means to do so, ||seatruck stops at 1000m, prawnsuit starts from 400)||

[marble jolt]

What is the deepest you can go in bz?

[quick terrace]

around 900m

not counting the void

[marble jolt]

O

[carmine bobcat]

I've beaten both games but you gotta but that in spoiler for others ynow-

[quick terrace]

I was excited for BZ cause everything was new and different and I still do enjoy the "new" feeling of it although I can't say stuff for everything cause I haven't beaten the game yet

[brisk pumice]

About to buy below zero what is the difference between subsonic and not subsonic

[marble jolt]

Same

[quick terrace]

lots

[carmine bobcat]

blue hedgehog that runs fast

[quick terrace]

of all the biomes in BZ, the Twisty Bridges (the main part that's not the shallow or deep Twisty Bridges) is probably the most like those deep dark biomes I wanted in terms of colour, texture and whatnot
although it's not that deep, it still kinda captures the feeling

[brisk pumice]

Wut?

[carmine bobcat]

kinda... the leviathan down there isnt even scary

[marble jolt]

I do like the twisty bridges

[quick terrace]

there's no leviathan in the Twisty Bridges

if you're talking about the Squidshark, it's not a leviathan

[carmine bobcat]

pretty sure it is, thats how it felt like on my 1st blind play through anyway ;-;

[quick terrace]

it's not, the PDA entry is incorrect in saying a "leviathan-class predator" as it's not actually listed in the leviathans tab, the wiki confirms as much

[nimble needle]

It’s on the verge of being considered a leviathan class life form. It’s like the crabsquid and ampeel from the first game

[quick terrace]

yeah

[brisk pumice]

?

[carmine bobcat]

the crabsquid is pretty darn terrifying-

[nimble needle]

It’s almost a leviathan. Not big enough probably

[nimble needle]

Ikr. That one in the deep grand reef ||looking at you through the windows of the degasi base|| will always haunt me. That’s an experience one doesn’t forget.

[eternal garnet]

crabsquid wants its patented EMP back

[quick terrace]

I'm not sure what my favourite biome is but I really like both the Twisty Bridges and the Tree Spires
the Tree Spires is cool cause it's probably one of the deepest surface biomes and gives me vibes of the Underwater Islands from Subnautica
also the fact that it was one of the only biomes I hadn't heard of before playing

[marble jolt]

Yeah

[nimble needle]

Lily pads is easily my favorite. It’s probably my favorite out of either game tbh. So pretty.

[carmine bobcat]

the degasi base is.. well.. how do you describe true terror?

i finished both subnautica games for the first time today

[quick terrace]

the Lilypad Islands music is so beautiful, some of my favourite music in the entire game

[carmine bobcat]

lol

[carmine bobcat]

congrats!

[eternal garnet]

strange. How?

[oblique crane]

why did they abolish the self scan thing?

[quick terrace]

probably cause it's not needed

[nimble needle]

Ikr it’s just so moving. Brings me to tears

[nimble needle]

No infection

[carmine bobcat]

because no infection

this is kinda shifting towards #subnautica-chat ...

[nimble needle]

No space COVID

[oblique crane]

well isn't the whole planet infected?

[waxen kindle]

no

[quick terrace]

no, cause it was cured in the original game

[waxen kindle]

its all cured exept the ||leviathan||

[quick terrace]

only the ||Frozen Leviathan still has it||

[carmine bobcat]

which one

[nimble needle]

Which makes sense. Ice.

[quick terrace]

the ||Frozen one||

[carmine bobcat]

kinda sucks that theres no infection in below zero it would really spice it up..

[carmine bobcat]

my brain lags

[nimble needle]

I’m glad it’s not there. The green spots always made me sad

[waxen kindle]

welcome to my wifi

[nimble needle]

I knew that creature was done for

[quick terrace]

I really wish the ||Frozen Leviathan|| broke out and tried to attack you like Monster Zero in Godzilla King of the Monsters

how epic would that be

[oblique crane]

why is it cured? did alterra just mass-distribute enzyme 42 or whichever it was?

[carmine bobcat]

so my brain and your wifi are both slow?

[carmine bobcat]

that sounds incredible honestly

[nimble needle]

Sounds weird

[quick terrace]

I have a meme I made on how similar those two things are

[narrow cove]

Yeah but even if it was, u can just ||mix 2 random plants together, and ta da u have cure(antibacterial)||. Honestly, really undermines the struggle and effort u had to go through in the first game to get it ||(enzyme 42)||

[quick terrace]

here

image on the right is from Godzilla KOTM

the sites literally look so similar

[nimble needle]

Wouldn’t be surprised if that’s where the got the inspiration. Crabsquid sounds are very similar to muto sounds so I’m pretty sure the devs at least like Godzilla

[quick terrace]

yeah, I hadn't considered that as a possibility that would be cool

[carmine bobcat]

ehhh...

[narrow cove]

No, ||the baby emperors were realesed, and with their enzyme being brand new, once a lifeform came in contact with it, they were immune forever. In the span on 2 years, they managed to immunize most of the planets fauna.||

[nimble needle]

Yeah plus you don’t even need more than one what’s the point of the crafting recipie

[waxen kindle]

and my brain as well

[quick terrace]

MUTOS and Crabsquids both make some of the coolest creature sounds I've ever heard

[carmine bobcat]

guys.... this is really turning into #subnautica-chat

[carmine bobcat]

we have so much in common

[nimble needle]

We’re still keeping it chilly

[carmine bobcat]

(:

[narrow cove]

In case some people lose it i guess.

[carmine bobcat]

btw why dont you freeze in the colder underwater areas in below zero but you freeze on land?

[nimble needle]

Yeah maybe

[carmine bobcat]

like the void

[nimble needle]

Sucks to suck

[nimble needle]

Nope. I was expecting that to happen that would’ve been cool keeping track of both

[eternal garnet]

Water has a mimimum temperature. Air does not.

[quick terrace]

Anyone else use the Ventgarden as a playpen for their ||Trivalve||? : )

[nimble needle]

Ooo good idea

[carmine bobcat]

i beat below zero and i still dont know what this is ;-;

[narrow cove]

Bcs of the salt levels, the water can't freeze and it's forced to remain a certain temperature, and thanks to robin's suit, it helps her maintain her body temperature. The main thing which makes u freeze is the wind, and weather on the surface

[nimble needle]

cuddlefish but better

[quick terrace]

basically BZ version of the Cuddlefish

[eternal garnet]

go find it!

[quick terrace]

except cuter

[carmine bobcat]

🧠

[eternal garnet]

it walks on land, swims, demands treats

[quick terrace]

depends treats xD

[nimble needle]

It’s also really shy which is adorable

[oblique crane]

how does the brinewing freeze you?

[quick terrace]

something I haven't tried, can you put them inside your base and let them walk around and stuff or can they only be released outside or in a containment?

[carmine bobcat]

my power is low.. im sorry cuddlefish

[eternal garnet]

they don't go in the base no

[quick terrace]

dangit, I wanted a house pet

[narrow cove]

Chemistry.

[nimble needle]

Bio fuel is in every biome

[eternal garnet]

bio reactor: Just grow fevered peppers next to it. Conveeeenient

[carmine bobcat]

he stole the treat out of my hands he deserved a punishment

[quick terrace]

da heck

[nimble needle]

Lantern fruit man

[quick terrace]

what else is the treat there for

[nimble needle]

Literally infinite fuel

[eternal garnet]

those are 4 slots, peppers 2. But fine, that works

[nimble needle]

Oh yeah

That’s a good idea

[quick terrace]

it took me forever to get Lantern Fruit cause ||Outpost Zero|| was the last Alterra base I found

[carmine bobcat]

how do i get different roles? im kinda new

[quick terrace]

#role-assignment

[eternal garnet]

go there, read

[carmine bobcat]

thanks

[nimble needle]

Ayo same

[narrow cove]

U know another thing that really bothers me about below zero? U can see|| bulbo tree in marg's base, but u can't take seeds from it with the knife, it won't let to.||

[quick terrace]

a lot of people got there right at the beginning cause you spawn there in early access but I didn't buy the game until after it was fully released

[eternal garnet]

bit sad, but other food is better

[quick terrace]

spicy fruit salad

it is OP

[eternal garnet]

very OP, and doesn't age

[nimble needle]

Yeah same. I kinda forgot it was on the map when I first looked at it.

[quick terrace]

even better than a nutrient block and you can craft it

[nimble needle]

And it gives water

And 100% warmth

When I get around to playing the game again I will not be using the fruit salad it’s too good

[quick terrace]

tell me I'm not the only one who's accidentally eaten a nutrient block without meaning to and ended up with like 140% food xD

[narrow cove]

No, in subnautica my only food was ||bublo tree||, i had 3 of them on the cyclops, and 5 at every base. I prayed to find one somewhere in bz, and i did, and i can't use it bcs of oversight. The same way i am bothered i can't take t||he plush bear thing we can find on both aurora and marg's base.||

[eternal garnet]

the bear is an easter egg, from previous games. Natural Selection

[nimble needle]

This is a lantern fruit and marble melon household. Get out with your bulbo tree propaganda

[quick terrace]

I like how BZ has a lot of posters and framed pictures

although there is an annoying glitch that I got with a couple where they turn black and you have to replace them to fix it

[narrow cove]

Also how the hell did she get it, she claimed she only had some water and a repair tool on her!

[nimble needle]

Same even though I still put them all in one base so ones just empty

[eternal garnet]

lantern fruit taste of kerosene

[carmine bobcat]

a wish bz put more effort into the deeper areas rather than the safe shallows

[narrow cove]

I also got that glitch

[oblique crane]

is there a markiplier doll in bz as well?

[quick terrace]

nope

[eternal garnet]

no. But a quote from jackseptic

Coffee machine!

[nimble needle]

I wish I could add the blinds and room dividers in the multipurpose room though 😾

[quick terrace]

one glitch that got fixed in BZ and I'm so thankful for it is the legs of habitat modules despawning if you go too far away

also the ladder/hatch animations still play regardless of how big your base is which is epic

I hope they fix those things back in Subnautica eventually

leviathans clipping through terrain also doesn't seem to happen in BZ, at least hardly ever

[nimble needle]

I’m glad they removed the observatory music

[quick terrace]

wait they did?

[carmine bobcat]

bro-

[nimble needle]

Yeah there’s no song that plays in observatories thankfully

[carmine bobcat]

...

[nimble needle]

I like the song but it got kinda annoying

I liked hearing the ambience of the base and the water outside of it

[quick terrace]

that was kinda annoying, I'd be vibing to Lava Castle in my Blood Kelp Trench base then accidentally step too far into an observatory and "oops, sorry you have to get your cool music cancelled and hear less cool music"

[carmine bobcat]

How much time do you spend in your observatory so that it gets annoying?!

[nimble needle]

Whenever you walk into an observatory it starts the song

Plus they’re cool to be in

[quick terrace]

it's worse when it cuts off a main soundtrack that's playing and replaces it with that

[nimble needle]

It’s literally a glass ball what’s not to enjoy

[carmine bobcat]

aaaaaaaaand very expensive-

[nimble needle]

I can afford it

I’m very rich

[quick terrace]

my hardcore base in Subnautica has like 10 observatories

[carmine bobcat]

yes, waiting for stalkers to drop a tooth is a lot of fun

[quick terrace]

thank goodness you don't need to get Stalker teeth in BZ

although lead is very annoying to get so idk how much better it is lol

[nimble needle]

Grav trap baby

[narrow cove]

I never built an observatory, not in subnautica, not in bz.

[carmine bobcat]

never crafted it, sounded lame

[quick terrace]

just do this and you'll never run out of Stalker teeth again

[eternal garnet]

it's very neat, sticking up above the surface

[nimble needle]

You drop a grab trap with some metal salvage and it pulls back in the metal so the stalkers come back for more

[nimble needle]

Sounds like a you problem

[carmine bobcat]

enameled glass is ovverated

[narrow cove]

Never made that either

[nimble needle]

Very helpful for getting stalker teeth. That’s the only thing I use it for.

[quick terrace]

does the grav trap exist in BZ?

[carmine bobcat]

yup

[nimble needle]

I think so.

[quick terrace]

I never use the grav trap but turns out it's incredibly useful for farming Stalker teeth in the original game

[nimble needle]

Same.

[quick terrace]

you know what's great in BZ though, titanium and a bunch of other stuff is renewable

[nimble needle]

Wait what

[quick terrace]

through Sea Monkes and also Rock Punchers

[narrow cove]

I choose stalker teeth over having to use diamonds

[nimble needle]

Oh sick

[carmine bobcat]

same, but stalkers can be so annoying sometimes

[eternal garnet]

yes. You can farm monkehs too

[narrow cove]

Nah

[quick terrace]

Rock Punchers will apparently dig up rocks that you can break to get raw ores, I haven't seem this myself but I learned it a while ago and was like yoooo

[nimble needle]

It’s not the diamonds that’s a problem it’s the god damn lead

[carmine bobcat]

even tho stalkers should be given the assessment : not edible

[eternal garnet]

monkeh can give you lead

[marble jolt]

Agreed

I wish there was a lead deposit somewhere

[carmine bobcat]

sand shark try so much they are straight up adorable-

[nimble needle]

Why did they not make drill able lead the others im okay with but lead is so important

[quick terrace]

yeah the only problem with the monkes is that ||I've heard that once Al-An's consciousness goes into his body they stop giving you materials and revert to their original behaviour of stealing stuff||

[eternal garnet]

this is true

But you could save game before transfer

[carmine bobcat]

monkeh connection with alan??

[eternal garnet]

yes.

[quick terrace]

I haven't gotten to that part in the story yet so imma stock up on materials before I do so lol

[nimble needle]

Damnit

I missed my chance

[marble jolt]

I mean it's not too hard to find but the amount you need for how long it takes

[carmine bobcat]

i jumped into subnautica blindly, no chemical apes to help me and YES I KNOW YOU KNOW CHEMICAL APES

[quick terrace]

lead is definitely the most annoying resource to get in BZ

[marble jolt]

They are good

[nimble needle]

Chemical apes?

[narrow cove]

True, but in subnautica u need enambled glass to get anywhere near diamonds. Now being able to just find them at 300meters just gives one the impression the devs didn't think of it when doing map design, so they had to improvise last minute and ended on this crappy solution (putting really hard resources to get in subnautica, really close to surface in bz)

[marble jolt]

Titanium was supposedly a lot harder than subnautica but I have 1.5 lockers full of the stuff

[quick terrace]

this took so much lead, I kept running out and having to go back and forth to get more and I'm not even done yet

[nimble needle]

Diamonds can be found shallower than 300m

In below zero at least

[carmine bobcat]

titanium is super common in all 3 of the mercurys and can be found in scrap metal

[marble jolt]

Daym

[marble jolt]

That's what I did

[narrow cove]

My point.

[carmine bobcat]

at this point 500 m is still shallow to me ngl

[quick terrace]

titanium may be slower to get in large quantities due to lack of a lot of metal salvage but it is renewable at least

[narrow cove]

True lol

[carmine bobcat]

but im afraid to go 6 meters down in the pool im afraid of the ghost leviathans and the dead zone

[narrow cove]

After playing subnautica, the depths in bz are child play.

[marble jolt]

Same

[quick terrace]

someone needs to make a "virgin BZ vs chad Subnautica" meme comparing some of the stuff lol

[nimble needle]

I like that with the recycler you can store titanium in ingots like resource blocks in Minecraft

[marble jolt]

Lmao

[carmine bobcat]

unbelievably true

[quick terrace]

yeah the recyclotron was definitely a nice addition

[marble jolt]

I need to get that

Thanks for the reminder lol

[carmine bobcat]

after playing subnautica i went down 11 meters in the pool and from there on i thought i passed 50 meters

[barren atlas]

what I would do is set up a scanner room next to the mercury, bring a seatruck with storage and fabricator, then just gather as much scrap as I can then craft it into titanium and transport it home

[quick terrace]

and the quantum locker, literally an ender chest in Subnautica

[barren atlas]

yes

[quick terrace]

I haven't made one yet but I should

[eternal garnet]

yes, it's clearly an ender chest, but more portable

[carmine bobcat]

im thinking of moving my base to a deeper location what would you guys recommend?

[eternal garnet]

west lilypads

[marble jolt]

Void :)

[quick terrace]

water is also more of a pain to get, I'm 45 hours into the game and still occasionally have to use filtered water cause filtration machines are so dang power hungry

[barren atlas]

the teleportation module on the seatruck is a life saver

[carmine bobcat]

me with an entire room dedicated to getting water:
