[west mountain]

Oh, that what it did, you were lucky

Very rare

[delicate trench]

But I really like the ice worms they’re pretty cool

[west mountain]

Hopefully you got a good screen shot

[delicate trench]

i will try

brb

[charred creek]

pawn suit is made

[west mountain]

and hang it in your base

now insert the module

[charred creek]

the jet?

[west mountain]

and make a depth upgrade

and a drill arm

and more storage

[delicate trench]

i have a drill and jet upgrade

[west mountain]

Excellent, additional storage is also handy

[charred creek]

k

i need drill

[west mountain]

and if you like the grappling arm

I don't use it I am not a prawn guy. Just for drilling

I have some drill arms on stock, I accept orders now.

[delicate trench]

it like jumped agian i tried totake a screenshot but it was just too fast and i found a ION cube source

How do you send screenshots

[west mountain]

How many Ion cube sources?

[delicate trench]

3

[west mountain]

Excellent, then ||don't miss the next cave||

[delicate trench]

oh lordy lord ok

it's just roaring at me it's not rlly doing anything...

[west mountain]

Lucky

Just wait when its hungry

[delicate trench]

The furry's are running away lol

[west mountain]

Ice worm is top of the food chain

[charred creek]

[west mountain]

Excellent, fully equipped

Btw you can add two storage

For extra storage capacity

[delicate trench]

[west mountain]

Repair, always repair it immediately

Don't let it go too low

[charred creek]

what milestone does silver come outta

[delicate trench]

argentite outcrops

[charred creek]

yu

ty

[delicate trench]

np

[west mountain]

It's all in your PDA, once you scan the stones

You can just look it up there, you always have it with you

Just in case

[eternal garnet]

I lost mine running from a monster. what do

[delicate trench]

well i didn't know IT GETS YOU IN CAVES TOO!

[west mountain]

It makes the caves

It dugs through ground

[eternal garnet]

the very round ones, yes

[west mountain]

Also in the lower bigger ones

Only higher up you are somewhat save

[delicate trench]

i feel like it's telling me to get out of there...

[west mountain]

It is just hungry that is all it has to tell you, no matter where you are going

[delicate trench]

why can 't he just eat a furry

[west mountain]

No, it will not

Even though it would be cool if it did

[delicate trench]

oki well idk i've been wandering around the island for 30 minutes nothin important i was guessing there would be snow fox fragments but nope nada

[west mountain]

||Not on this side, snow fox is on the other side||

But there is ||something much more important there way up in the north||

[delicate trench]

ok lemme look

[charred creek]

how get rubies

[delicate trench]

well it's jnight time now and the game is 10000 more teryfing

[west mountain]

Many places, ||tree spires|| for example

[charred creek]

idk whee that is

should i go back to koppa

[west mountain]

Yes, there for sure, a whole ore vein to dig out in one of the carts

[delicate trench]

is he not active at night?

[west mountain]

Now you have the drill arm you have plenty of resources down there

It never sleeps

Underground there is no day or night

[delicate trench]

sad

how do i send a sreen shot here?

i wanna show u sumthin'

[broken badge]

Sorry I was in wrong chat lol

[west mountain]

You have to make a print screen from your PDA and save it and upload it.

I guess, don't know anything else

[charred creek]

the pawn suit doesnt emite much light

[delicate trench]

i can't get up like that litle way up in the north direction how do i get up there

[west mountain]

Then you don't have to go that way up. There are many ways up north

[delicate trench]

ok ty

[west mountain]

Some go through caves

Many interesting things to find there

[delicate trench]

aand he's back :/

[west mountain]

He missed you (or she?)

[delicate trench]

who know the last thing i would like to see is 10000 ice worm's wandering around in the sea

[west mountain]

Let them be in the ice

But their ||tunnes give you access to lots of resources||

If you like to be underground with them

Burried alive

[devout wraith]

Aw yes the sea truck. Amazing photo

[west mountain]

No that is the cyclops

[devout wraith]

It's what comes up when you type in what vehicles are in subnautica below sero

[west mountain]

Yes, wrong picture

[eternal garnet]

That is the inside of my sea truck. Where i have a poster of the cyclops

[west mountain]

Hahaha, or in our dreams

The seatruck is the VW Golf of the vehicles

Not a Ferrari

But it'll do the job, like Fred

I like Fred

[delicate trench]

noo it ate bob, and my prawnsuit is now on 11 percent power

[west mountain]

guess you are going back on foot

[delicate trench]

NOO not bob's friend too :(

[west mountain]

By the way, all your ion cubes make good ion batteries. They last longer

[delicate trench]

i don't have the fragment's for ion batrteries

[west mountain]

Ah, then you have to scan more alien artefacts

[delicate trench]

but what do i do with my prawn i think i gotta reload the last save.

[charred creek]

markus

[west mountain]

Or you walk back to get a new cell

[charred creek]

how do i get spiral plant cutting

[delicate trench]

on foot? too far away

[west mountain]

Spiral plants ||are inside the vent gardens in the tree spires biom||

[charred creek]

how find tree spires

[delicate trench]

NOO IT destryed my prawn

[west mountain]

||A long way south from delta station dock||

[delicate trench]

NOO

[charred creek]

ok

[west mountain]

Save game time

[delicate trench]

MY prawn my precious prawn..

[eternal garnet]

Load game. You save often, yes?

[delicate trench]

anyways releouds game

[west mountain]

I told you to repair that thing often 🙂

[eternal garnet]

markus saves just when he loses vehicles, apparently

[west mountain]

Imagine you save the game just before you run out of air, that would be annonying

[delicate trench]

i did it hit me once it only did 7 damage then it hit me agian BOOM all of my health gone

[west mountain]

Oh, that is unfortunate

[delicate trench]

yeah i did that once in the normal subnautica

[charred creek]

markus

is the thing in tree spies a jelly fish?

[west mountain]

Yes, jelly fish like, not the arctic jellies

[eternal garnet]

yes, parked in the ground

[charred creek]

also

i found mercury 11 ?what is it

[west mountain]

A wreck

from the past

inoperative

as the PDA tells you

[charred creek]

um markus

is it better to take seatruck to get to tree spires?

[delicate trench]

am i safe in the water?

[west mountain]

Absolutely

[charred creek]

oof-

i see that now]

[west mountain]

Its too deep to swim

Where did you find water?

[charred creek]

and alot of lobster leveithans things-

[delicate trench]

thank god

[charred creek]

[west mountain]

Around mercury 2, yes, they are harmless as long as you don't harass them

[charred creek]

k

[west mountain]

Rock puncher

[charred creek]

imma just quit and rejoin bc i saved at my base

[eternal garnet]

those are not nearly leviathans

[charred creek]

wdum

[eternal garnet]

Rock punchers. The red shrimp though, they are

[delicate trench]

how tf did a symbiote get into my seatruck aquarium module i wasn't even in any of the iceberg's biome

[west mountain]

Eat it, its delicious

[eternal garnet]

you know it picks up nearby fish?

[charred creek]

wowwww markus

i was just in my seatruck

where the pawn suit cannot go

and the lobster looking ting jumpscared me

[west mountain]

Yes it will also attack the sea truck if you get too close. Did some damage probabely

The repair tool is your best friend

[charred creek]

bruh

[delicate trench]

YUM tastes like lobster

[west mountain]

I told you, delicious

[charred creek]

markus

will i be able to find big jellyfish at night

[west mountain]

These rock puncher dig out resources from the ground. If you observe it it will punch the ground and a rock appers

[delicate trench]

funfact: i never ate lobster

[west mountain]

Yes, no problem

It is bioluminecent down there

[charred creek]

MARKUS

[delicate trench]

oh god,i just kidnapped 2 penguing children im gonna name them junior,junior and of course junior :D

[charred creek]

what is ecological dead zone

[west mountain]

A place where you don't want to go unless you wish to die fast and painful

[charred creek]

how am i meant to find big jellyfish

[west mountain]

You went south at what depth

[charred creek]

[west mountain]

You have to follow the terrain

You went right over it

[charred creek]

50?

UGH

[west mountain]

[charred creek]

r u serious

[west mountain]

You want to know it exactly

[carmine bobcat]

insert doom music here

[hidden warren]

Ok Mr. Shrimp challenge accepted............

SPOILER I'm following in Her footsteps🗡️

[elfin stag]

how do i get rid of a whale, i accidentally set it free around my base

[sterile shadow]

You could try killing it or using the Propulsion Cannon on it 🤷‍♂️

[elfin stag]

i havent got that yet

[hidden warren]

The same happend with my pet squid shark he kept trying to destroy my sea truck on a save in like the 17th of may idk

[elfin stag]

damn

[carmine bobcat]

Hey i have a question, dose subnautica below zero have a multiplayer mod?

or is it just subnautica

[sterile shadow]

Unfortunately it does not. It's possible that it will one day, but the developers of Nitrox (the people who made the multiplayer mod for the first game) still have a long way to go in terms of optimizing and improving Nitrox.

[carmine bobcat]

aah i see thank you!

Could i get the nitrox mod link?

[sterile shadow]

This is their official website:
https://nitrox.rux.gg/
You can also find an invite link to their official Discord server in #subnautica-modding.

[carmine bobcat]

Thank you!

[sterile shadow]

You're welcome 🙂

[distant ember]

Someone said there was a type of pet you could have in BZ is it just the penglings or is it some other creature?

[clear siren]

You can get some pets yeah

It's another creature

||trivalve||, there's a few eggs hidden on the map

[distant ember]

Hm it’s not super cute

[clear siren]

Then no

You can hatch a bunch of eggs in creature containment and keep them as "pets" if you want

[carmine bobcat]

Anybody know how to fix this ? I was playing for 14 hours straight from beginning. It keeps showing this error

[tawdry pumice]

||trivalve|| ugly

[clear siren]

Is there enough disk space and does that file exist?

[carmine bobcat]

Yes it's in C drive with 253 GB Space, yes it's there in directory

[clear siren]

No idea then :(, gl

@bold monolith knows a lot about technical stuff so maybe they can help if they're online (and sorry for the ping)

[bold monolith]

You have wrong permissions in ProgramData.

[distant ember]

The penglings and the whales are cute but the rest of the creatures are not cute

[tawdry pumice]

Yes

[distant ember]

Their designs are good it’s just that they’re sadly not cute

[clear siren]

@carmine bobcat See the post by Ignis

[clever current]

ask an artist online to draw them cute. I've seen cute artistic representations of the ||Reaper Leviathan|| in Subnautica

[distant ember]

The vent gardens have a really nice design I love it

[clear siren]

Try changing the perms of ProgramData folder (recommend changing them back right after the save for security reasons)

[carmine bobcat]

Where

[clear siren]

#below-zero-chat message

Like a few posts up

[bold monolith]

Not ProgramData, but the Unknown Worlds folder needs to have the correct permissions.

Usually it's inherited.

[clear siren]

Also thanks for the response Ignis ❤️

[distant ember]

That thing can nor be cute

[bold monolith]

Right click on the Unknown Worlds folder in ProgramData (hidden by default), properties, security, advanced. Your user needs to be able to read / write / perhaps execute for the subfolders (being able to browse through them).

[clear siren]

@carmine bobcat ^^

[carmine bobcat]

Attributes ?

[clear siren]

Properties is the thing you get all the way down the bottom when selecting the file

[carmine bobcat]

It was set to read only

[sterile shadow]

@bold monolith Sorry for the ping, but I have a question. What happened to the pinned message that you had created about the ||portal|| not showing up at the end of the game?

[clear siren]

Allow write as well

(or turn off read only)

[sterile shadow]

Just wondering because there was somebody who was having that issue a few days ago.

[bold monolith]

Good question, I probably deleted it considering it's been a while and I assumed the number of people who played the EA builds would have diminished. The fix is still there: https://steamcommunity.com/app/848450/discussions/1/3004425113424358890/.

[carmine bobcat]

It reverts back to previous settings even with administrator perms

[sterile shadow]

Awesome, thanks. I'll save that post.

[clear siren]

Are you hitting apply?

[carmine bobcat]

Yes

[clear siren]

Bit of a stupid question but just making sure

[carmine bobcat]

No worries

[clear siren]

Try opening file explorer as admin?

[bold monolith]

You don't have the advanced button in the properties?

I could show you but my system isn't using English. :þ

[carmine bobcat]

Yes i have. Properties> sub settings : general, sharing, security, previous versions, customisation.
Under general : attributes : selected read only > Advanced shows this

[bold monolith]

This thing.

[carmine bobcat]

Got that

[stoic surge]

The titan hole fish I released got stuck under my base ... so I wore him like a pool floatie ... video to upload soon

[stable summit]

Spoiler kinda. ||so i just found marguriets (sorry idk how to spell her name) base and I don't know where to go next||

[stoic surge]

Did you converse with her?

[stable summit]

Yes

I scanned everything there

[stoic surge]

What did she say

[stable summit]

It was yesterday, so I don't remember, but it was my first time going there

Oh wait I have a screenshot

[stoic surge]

Did you meet her pet?

[stable summit]

Well yeah

[stoic surge]

She should have said something about getting Alterra off her back?

[stable summit]

Yeah yeah

[stoic surge]

Then you should have scanned a device that was on her table?

[stable summit]

The ||snowfox?||

[stoic surge]

There was that, and also a ||test override module||

[stable summit]

Oh yeah I scanned that too

[stoic surge]

You should now build one, and use it

[stable summit]

Ok thanks

Oh and I noticed one of the things I need to make it isn't in my research thing

[stoic surge]

You will need to find some and scan them

[stable summit]

Oh ok

[stoic surge]

le Me, wearing my new pool floatie!

[carmine bobcat]

Is it ded ?

[stoic surge]

No, I released it outside my base, it was swimming around and got stuck between the leg struts

[broken badge]

I’ve seen them lie on their sides like that even when they weren’t stuck, idk sometimes they just seem to do that near bases

Maybe it’s their geometry or something they are kinda big fish xD

[quick terrace]

lol that is great

[stoic surge]

As stressful as these games can be, it's good to goof around now and then

[quick terrace]

speaking of things being sideways 😛

[stoic surge]

You got some serious air there, dude

[quick terrace]

basically I drove it off a cliff on Delta Island and when it flipped it just stayed in that position until I hit the water xD

[copper pagoda]

There are two shadow leviathans outside my base.

I'm going to try something silly with my Spider PRAWN. If I grapple to each of them with one arm, surely interesting things will happen.

They... they noclipped into the walls! They're in the walls now!

[stoic surge]

Let us know if they come back, we might need to try this if they stay gone

Do any of you fine folks happen to know where I might look up the bioreactor value of the spicy fruit salad? I'd think it would be alot, but I can't find the info online

Nevermind, I found it, looks like it's less than I thought

I have set up a base in deep lilypads cave, it's mostly peaceful so far, and the BGM is pretty cool as well

[copper pagoda]

They

They got FLUNG.

I went back to the surface

And I saw them get launched

Into the void

[stoic surge]

Wowsers

[carmine bobcat]

banana

[charred creek]

morning everyone

[west mountain]

Good morning to you too

[charred creek]

how do i find flowering spores?

[light saddle]

pron sot

[west mountain]

In the ||deep lilypads||

[charred creek]

where is dat

[sterile shadow]

It's in the Lilypads biome from 320 to 630 meters deep.

[west mountain]

Did you find it or do you need precise direction?

[charred creek]

i need to find the biome? which direction

[west mountain]

I tell you, one moment

[charred creek]

k

[west mountain]

It is ||755m from Delta Station Dock. I notch to the left of South East SE||

There you have to go down into the crevice as deep as you can go.

The crevice starts|| at 170m and goes down to 360m to get to the frist flowerin spore. The cave itself is at 470m||

And it's a place worth exploring, so its a good idea to place a beacon once you find it 🙂

BTW I have a base down there

[charred creek]

wdum base?

you can relocate the postive of urbase?

[west mountain]

I have finished the game and I am building bases all over the place, just to enjoy the view

[charred creek]

also ive never understoof it how do you connect buildings

[west mountain]

Not for the game play

[charred creek]

i wish below zero had subs and stuff

[west mountain]

It happens automatically when there is nothing in the way, but only on four walls

[charred creek]

oh ok

[west mountain]

You place the first building and then you have to find the spot to connect the second one.

[charred creek]

ah ok

also what is the scanner room useful for

[west mountain]

Once you search for specific materials it will show you where the resources are. Also not necessary for the game play, but once you need huge amount of resources its helpful to let it find for you.

[charred creek]

k

[carmine bobcat]

Does anybody have tips on finding ||the antidote||?

[west mountain]

Its in|| the glacial basin||

[carmine bobcat]

Yes I'm there with my prawn

But I can't find it

[west mountain]

Do you have th||e map from Phi robotic||

[carmine bobcat]

I think so

[west mountain]

You have to find the open water

[carmine bobcat]

I'm there currently lol

[west mountain]

Not at the dock, on the opposite side

[carmine bobcat]

Ooooh okay thanks

[west mountain]

There is a s||py penguing access point||

[carmine bobcat]

From a streamer I watched i know I need a ||spy pengling||

[west mountain]

Yes, you do

[carmine bobcat]

I have one luckily on me

[west mountain]

Also the remote 🙂

[carmine bobcat]

Oops

I forgot that 🥲

Oh well, my base is not that far away anyway

[west mountain]

Soooooo......

Ok, lucky. But you can still find the location now and then come back

[carmine bobcat]

Hmh

I'll try and remember what you said

[charred creek]

where are snow fox parts? i found one from pilot last known locat

[west mountain]

Far far away in ||the West Arctic at Phi Robotics and all around the glancial basin||

And you also need the ||hover pad||, that is ||inside Phi Robitics||

[delicate trench]

hi markus im back :)

[charred creek]

pawn suit or sea truck for phi robotics?

[west mountain]

You need the docking module, so you can take both 🙂

[charred creek]

docking module?

[delicate trench]

hi markus im back remeber me?

[west mountain]

Yes, a module you can attach the prawn suite to your sea truck

Hi ILucky2K

[charred creek]

where are the blueprints for that

[delicate trench]

i found one deep like close to that /spoiler crystal base

[charred creek]

crystal base?

[delicate trench]

crystal place*

[west mountain]

Yes, in the ||deep purple vents which also give you access to the crystal cavern||.

[delicate trench]

its like300 meters down

[charred creek]

huh

[delicate trench]

btw markus junior is still doin good! :D

[west mountain]

Then I would take the prawn suite because you need to stay warm. But bring spare power cells, because its a loooong way

[charred creek]

theres a cave at purple vents i need to go down?

[west mountain]

Sooner or later yes

[charred creek]

never seen it

[west mountain]

Have you been to ||Maidas base yet||

[delicate trench]

me? i have been

[west mountain]

Guyv

[charred creek]

yes i have

[west mountain]

Oh, your pengwing is fine, thats good to hear

Ok Guyy, then SPOILER ||just behind Maidas base is also an entrace to Crystal Cavern||

[charred creek]

ah

i forgot my way to maidas base

i never set beacons

[west mountain]

But you have the beacon last pilot

[delicate trench]

just south

[west mountain]

There it goes down

[charred creek]

ik but it took me 30 mins to find the base while down there

[west mountain]

Once you see the lights you just follow them

You have to look for the light sticks in the cave

They lead you to her

[charred creek]

also i cant find the enterance to mercury 11 whats in there thats important?

[west mountain]

Have you done what she told you to do?

[charred creek]

not yet

[west mountain]

Then don't worry about snow fox

That's waaaay later

[charred creek]

idk how to get the thing that u need to make test module

[west mountain]

Exactly

And you got a blueprint for that right

what does it need?

[charred creek]

it needs a tube like thing

[west mountain]

||Parallel processing unit||

[charred creek]

yes

thats it

[west mountain]

Ok, now you have a reason to go to Mercury II. But you have to know, that ||there are three different section of that ship||

[charred creek]

dont i need like bolt cutters or like sm

[west mountain]

Well, its a wreck, some path might be "inoperative" and need some brute force 🙂

[delicate trench]

how do i get spiral plant cliping for synthetic fibers?

[charred creek]

vent garden

[west mountain]

Ah glad you ask I found another location for them

Yes, vent garden is the primary source. I would go there

You know how to get there? Have you seen them?

[delicate trench]

how do i get spiral plant cliping for synthetic fibers @west mountain

[west mountain]

Vent garden, as we said above

[delicate trench]

oh

where is that

[west mountain]

Its in the ||tree spires biom south of Delta Station Dock. Very deep||

Once you go south from delta station dock over the Mercury II wreck you see some Jelly fish like creatures. These are vent gardens.

But these are babies, you need the Mama !!! The BIG one

Its further south and very deep but beautiful

[delicate trench]

is there anything dangerous down there?

[west mountain]

Some leviathans

But you have the zapper in your seatruck right?

[delicate trench]

yes

[west mountain]

And some depth upgreads

Then you are fine

Always keep in mind, when they bite you they like you

[delicate trench]

i can go 300 meters down is that good enough?

with my seatruck with the prawn i can go aout 400

[west mountain]

300 is just enought for the vent gardens

You'll be fine

[delicate trench]

oki i will check

wait, should i get my modules too? for the sea truck too

or am i gonna be to big to fit in

[west mountain]

You can bring your modules, you have to park your seatruck outside anyhow. Only you are allowed inside 🙂

[delicate trench]

so south from delta station?

[west mountain]

Yes, just follow the terrain

And SPOLER ||there are two of those BIG ones. ||

[delicate trench]

like the ones with 4 big claws on they're mouth's

[west mountain]

No ||adult vent gardems||

[delicate trench]

ohh.

wel l wish me luck man

[west mountain]

You'll be all right. We stay in safety.

[delicate trench]

im keeping junior with me for protection

[west mountain]

Moral support animal, great!!!

[delicate trench]

wait isn't the dead zone also in that dirrection?

[west mountain]

The dead zone is all around

[delicate trench]

there is a gigantic jelly fish

[west mountain]

Vent Garden

[delicate trench]

in there is what im looking 4?

[west mountain]

You have to scan it to learn what they do

It's an amazing animal

Scan it, read it, find your way in

[delicate trench]

I WAS GOING toward my base and that 4 claw instead of mouth leviathan just swam above my sea truck thank god for the zapper

[west mountain]

Yep, they always want to hug your seatruck

But zapper is your best friend

[delicate trench]

more than that... yep

[west mountain]

and the repair tool

[delicate trench]

exactly but you don't need to shock it like alot just when it grabbs you once do it

[west mountain]

Yes, don't do it too early, then it has no effect and you have to wait to recharge it. Then it causes more damage then when it already has you in the mouth or tentacles

[delicate trench]

no... junior is gone....

i wanted to feed him a peeper and he ran..

[west mountain]

In the water???

Of course he will run

[delicate trench]

yes..:(

[west mountain]

But he will be on an ice shelf,

Just go an grab him there

Or I borrow you one from mine

[charred creek]

lol

what room is that?

[west mountain]

That's my laboratory

[charred creek]

late game?

[west mountain]

All alien species and plants are in here

No after finishing

When you are free to do what you want

[charred creek]

so how get the module to attach pawn suit to truck again?

[west mountain]

Deep purple vents

[charred creek]

in a cave?

[west mountain]

Yes

Where you can also enter the cristal cavern

[charred creek]

towards which direction is the cave

[west mountain]

||East from Delta station. There is also the third and smallest piece of mercury ii wreck, which has something for you||

[charred creek]

wait so

its not by purple vents?

[west mountain]

Purple vents are all over the place

Its at the east border of purple vents

east, sorry east

[charred creek]

should i take pawen suit or sea truck

[west mountain]

Sea truck

And laser cutter

[delicate trench]

I FOUND HIM

I FOUND JUNIOR

[charred creek]

how get laser cutter

[west mountain]

You have to scan the fragments, they are s||ome in mercury II wreck, some in the sea monkey caves||

[charred creek]

k

ill go there now

[delicate trench]

Junior is back

[west mountain]

Great, now dont set him free in water. You can put him in an aquarium in your base instead of carring it around

[delicate trench]

'it'? no junior is a hooman too now >:(

don't disrespect mr.junior >:(

[charred creek]

wait so markus

would i go for crystal place or mercury first?

[west mountain]

if you want to follow the instruction from Maida, Mercury II it is (all three sections)

[charred creek]

im there now

trying to find entrance

[west mountain]

Which one? Stern, Bow or Thruster

[charred creek]

this

[west mountain]

OK, Stern, then the entrance is on the south side

Opposite from where you are now

[charred creek]

ok

found enterance

got 1/3

[west mountain]

perfect

[charred creek]

got 2

tryna find last 1

[west mountain]

You were in Koppa mine, right???

[charred creek]

no....

like i was but im in mercury now

[west mountain]

Yes, you were in Koppa, you did not scan everything there then

[charred creek]

what else was there

[west mountain]

Or in front of the door of Koppa. 3/3 of what you are searching now 🙂

[charred creek]

so ive got 2/3 now

and i cant find last one so i should go to koppa?

[west mountain]

Yes, its close to Mercury II Stern

[charred creek]

k

[west mountain]

But also look in front of the door where the seatruck does not fit through

[charred creek]

ik way to koppa off by heart

wdum all dors dont fit my seatruck

[west mountain]

Yes, you park in right in front of the door

||It is in the first room, no need to go down||

[charred creek]

ah

also what does metal savalage used for

[west mountain]

You can grab them and convert them into Titanium

In your fabricator

[charred creek]

so useless

[west mountain]

No, Titanium is pretty usefull

🙂

But you might not need such huge quantites right now

But once you start building bases, you need tons of it

[charred creek]

k

is thermal plant useful?

[west mountain]

I have not used it, but others might have

[charred creek]

k

[west mountain]

Just scan it and see later

[carmine bobcat]

what just happened

[west mountain]

You deployed a camera drone

[carmine bobcat]

for some reason i glitched a drone into the scanner room

i was meant to put it into the socket

should i send a bug report

[west mountain]

No, you were ment to release into water

[carmine bobcat]

yeah

i am in water

[west mountain]

Just deconstruct the scanner room and see what happens

[carmine bobcat]

but it got inside the scanner room

[west mountain]

Can you pick it from there?

[charred creek]

where is laster cutter frags in koppa

[west mountain]

In ||front of one of the doors on the ground||

[charred creek]

which ground

[west mountain]

Where you entered, no need to go down

[charred creek]

oh.

DAMMIT

[west mountain]

I wrote this before

🙂

[charred creek]

im abit blind

[west mountain]

No Problem, just go back

[carmine bobcat]

i managed to pick it up

[west mountain]

From the inside?

[carmine bobcat]

nope

from here

[west mountain]

Ok, problem solved

[carmine bobcat]

yeah

but i still sent a bug report so that way it doesn't happen again

just to be safe

[charred creek]

where get sulfur

[west mountain]

||Purple vents ||all around

Or ||sea monkey caves||, where the ||crash fish ||lives, it gives you sulfur now and then

[copper pagoda]

Playing around with a Spider PRAWN is fun. I can grapple two creatures at the same time and watch them flip out.

[west mountain]

With one grappling arm or with two of them?

[copper pagoda]

Two

[charred creek]

do i need artifact pk8

[west mountain]

Not right now but it's part of the exploration and helping AlAn stuff

The more artefacts you scan the more alien technology blueprints will be available

[charred creek]

k

markus where should i be if i have been playing for 6 hours?

[eternal garnet]

maybe... having a break?

[charred creek]

wdum

[carmine bobcat]

guys im end game

😇 thats a W!

[charred creek]

nice

[carmine bobcat]

no time for L's

[carmine bobcat]

saving and taking a break

[stoic surge]

I would be enjoying this game more if it didn't keep crashing

[carmine bobcat]

do you know why it is crashing?

[stoic surge]

I have the Switch version, lol

[carmine bobcat]

ooh

[charred creek]

never

[carmine bobcat]

just make sure you save ok?

you should not olay fir too long yk?

[stoic surge]

I save every few minutes, so I never lose more than that

But it's still annoying AF

[charred creek]

i save every 3 hours

i accidently killed this baby penguin so i carry him round with me forevever now

[hasty narwhal]

As a person who's completed the original Subnautica and has had a vested interest in the franchise beyond it, is it worth doing a full purchase of BZ or waiting for a Steam sale to massively discount it (or even forgoing it completely, perhaps)?

[stoic surge]

It's quite a good next chapter of the storyline, and well worth it, IMO

[hasty narwhal]

I'd be a little more eager to do the former if the were it not for the general sentiments expressed in the reviews for it.

[stoic surge]

The Developers have sometimes referred to Below Zero as Subnautica 1.5 ... I think they considered making it a DLC at some point but it ended up with a different architecture so they made it a stand-alone

[hasty narwhal]

I mean, that's not uncommon for some games.

[charred creek]

where do i get the attachment module for seatruck and pawn suit

[stoic surge]

Do you mean the docking module?

[charred creek]

i guess yes

[stoic surge]

Then I guess you can scan fragments around deep purple vents, then build one

[hasty narwhal]

Half-Life: Opposing Force and Half-Life: Blue Shift are still acknowledged as expansion packs for the original Half-Life, despite being separate downloads.

[charred creek]

k

what time of the game do i need to think abt getting artifacts

how many hours in

[stoic surge]

But Below Zero can be downloaded/played without the original, so it's a stand-alone

[eternal garnet]

Oh no! You must save way more often.

[hasty narwhal]

As can OpFor and Blue Shift

[charred creek]

why meatie

[stoic surge]

So they would be considered stand-alone games?

[hasty narwhal]

Standalone and Expansion aren't mutually exclusive concepts

[eternal garnet]

you can lose your upgraded vehicle. Better load than cry for an hour

and many other reasons. save 2-3 times an hour

[charred creek]

oh ok

what do i do with laser cutter other than cut sealed things in mercury

[eternal garnet]

cut into icebergs... not a lot

[charred creek]

oh

[stoic surge]

Also some sealed containers

[charred creek]

k

[eternal garnet]

ya but those are in mercury

[charred creek]

whats everyones average time to complete below zero

[stoic surge]

Some in other places too

[stoic surge]

I like to explore all the places, so I take a looong time

[charred creek]

how long is a long time

[carmine bobcat]

aay lmao

idk i have like 65 hours in total

[eternal garnet]

255h, with early access replays

[carmine bobcat]

i havent even completed the game in surviveal

[hasty narwhal]

In the context of not needing the original Half-Life downloaded to run, you'd be technically correct.

They're still ultimately expansion packs intended to build upon the experiences of the original title. You'd miss out on a lot of context for the events in OpFor/BS if you didn't play HL1 first.

[stoic surge]

This long

[charred creek]

like whats ur record for completing

[eternal garnet]

that is long

I dunno. Normal is 20 to 60h

[charred creek]

imagine having 5000 hours on fortnite

[stoic surge]

This is true with Subnautica as well, Below Zero could be considered the next chapter of the story

[charred creek]

couldnt be me\

[carmine bobcat]

1k HOURS?!?

[carmine bobcat]

Willam afton-

[charred creek]

fnaf lore beats anything

[carmine bobcat]

^

[stoic surge]

That's an older pic, it currently says 1,375 hours for the OG

[next current]

[carmine bobcat]

[charred creek]

whats everyones most played game in hours

[carmine bobcat]

Algebruh 💀

[carmine bobcat]

acnh

[charred creek]

mines gta or fortnite lol

2k hours on gta and 4.6k hours on fortnite

[charred creek]

whats anch

[carmine bobcat]

Animal crossing

[hasty narwhal]

Ah yeah, so kinda like what the Scourge of Armagon/Dissolution of Eternity expansions were to Quake 1; additional chapters that continued on from the original game's story.

Or for a more recent example, what Parts 1 and 2 of The Ancient Gods DLCs were to Doom Eternal.

[next current]

Subnautica Below Zero.

I have 997 hours in the game.

Also... let's keep to the channels main topic. Which just so happens to be BZ.

[carmine bobcat]

Yes

[stoic surge]

Did you know you can have a pool floatie in BZ?

[carmine bobcat]

me with only like 60 hours in bz

[carmine bobcat]

FR? How!!?

[stoic surge]

My makeshift pool floatie

[carmine bobcat]

😦

Outta pocket.

[stoic surge]

He's not dead, he just got stuck lol

[carmine bobcat]

Still wrong, but creative

no context just snowsralker

[eternal garnet]

Left4Dead.

[hasty narwhal]

It was a tangent that went off discussing whether BZ falls under the definition of "expansion", but I've digressed enough from my main point.

That being whether BZ is worth the current asking price, waiting until it gets massively discounted or forgoing entirely.

[stoic surge]

If you enjoyed the OG< you should get Below Zero ... imo

[hasty narwhal]

Indeed, that's one general sentiment I got from reviews, in spite of its highlighted drawbacks.

But again, is it worth paying full price or waiting for a discount?

[eternal garnet]

even full price is low. Get it

it's not $69

[hasty narwhal]

USD?

[next current]

Oh I understood that, it's just that the chat was getting a little off track.

[hasty narwhal]

Assuming that's USD, that'd be about 90-100 where I live.

Off the top of my head, at least.

[hasty narwhal]

Ah, no worries then.

[eternal garnet]

yes well, look at new big titles. they are up there. BZ is not. I guess because it's indie

[copper pagoda]

Would be nice if Marg occasionally left her base and you could punch leviathans together.

[hasty narwhal]

I should clarify, I'm Australian

[next current]

Stupid dumb school internet... sending messages twice.

[hasty narwhal]

And checking the store page, it's $45 AUD.

Not terrible, not great. Hence my hesitation.

[stoic surge]

Which platform are you thinking of using?

[hasty narwhal]

Steam

[carmine bobcat]

wgats yalls favorite subnautica plant?

[stoic surge]

Nice, I've heard good things about that one

[eternal garnet]

on steam, you get both old story (beta code belowzeroearlyaccess) and new story

[hasty narwhal]

Huh, neat

Have there been many QOL changes made in BZ?

[stoic surge]

Many

[eternal garnet]

recipe pins, beacon (drop on death), consistent "switch container", more buildings, seaglide map key, recyclotron, jukebox

the air bladder now works, and you can get air from it

[hasty narwhal]

Recyclotron?

[eternal garnet]

Hand scanner tool. Yes it un-crafts items

like titanium ingots, tools

Oh and an ender chest, later

[hasty narwhal]

Oh, nice.

So you can kinda do a minecraft and fabricate a bunch of titanium into ingots for condensed storage, then break them down into their raw materials as needed?

[eternal garnet]

yes. You get this after mid-game

[stoic surge]

My favorite is an unlockable food recipe, for something that's better than nutrient block

[next current]

TBH, The Jukebox and the Recyclotron are more of new features rather than QOL improvements.

[eternal garnet]

yes, fair

[hasty narwhal]

Huh, neat.

Kinda feels like something that could've also been achieved with an additional Fabricator option instead of a whole new device, but I can appreciate the effort and the need for convenience-gating where needed.

Jukebox kinda sounds like a purely aesthetic thing.

[next current]

It is.

[hasty narwhal]

Ah, no niche wildlife interactions or whatnot?

[eternal garnet]

it plays tracks that you find in the world. Fun, not QOL. Except maybe having music in your base

[next current]

Imagine needing to build a Jukebox to beat the game, lmao!!

[hasty narwhal]

It doesn't come preloaded with music?

[eternal garnet]

One track. Or, it can play your mp3s

[hasty narwhal]

And I assume the player can't load their own tracks in via the files?

[next current]

There are Jukebox disks scattered around the map.

[eternal garnet]

you can on PC

[stoic surge]

In the Steam version, you can load up your own mp3 music tracks to play in-game - in the Jukebox

[hasty narwhal]

Oooh, yes!

[next current]

You can on the epic version as well.

[hasty narwhal]

Finally, I can punctuate my Prawn/Reaper duels with Gladiator from DE.

https://youtu.be/aD31rEtjmCI

[stoic surge]

English, please

[eternal garnet]

they didn't type words.

[stoic surge]

Above the picture?

[west mountain]

His user name 🙂

[eternal garnet]

that's a nick

[west mountain]

But I was also baffeled for a moment 🙂

[hasty narwhal]

All in all, pretty neat-sounding changes.

[eternal garnet]

Game now has NPCs, weather, hatch with stairs for land

[west mountain]

The only thing is that the weather cycles are not random but always the same per location

Also the fish in the fish tanks always swim the same patterin in all aquariums 🙂

That looks funny

[eternal garnet]

full disclosure, there is no cyclops, no seamoth, no stasis rifle. Seatruck is good though. Prawn is a little upgraded too

[hasty narwhal]

I hope they added a more intuitive method of renaming lockers (preferably from the PDA UI when opening it).
Was always annoying ending up with lockers all with weird things typed into them due to accidently clicking on the name.

[eternal garnet]

nah, no change there

[hasty narwhal]

Ah, oh well.

[stoic surge]

In the UI the icons for food and stuff that has batteries has a meter on the side, to let you see the food's freshness and the batteries' charge level

[hasty narwhal]

Huh, very noice.

[stoic surge]

(I'm imagining that being said with the Australian accent here)

[hasty narwhal]

While these larger gameplay changes sound like they sufficiently shake up the base gameplay, a lot of these smaller changes seem really tying together and addressing some of those small grievances with base SN.

Which I'm greatly appreciative of.

[stoic surge]

Yea Verily

[hasty narwhal]

Speaking of, it's been awhile since I've played SN at that. I wouldn't be surprised if some of these QOL tweaks in BZ had been backported.

[eternal garnet]

as far as I've noticed, only the new smooth chunk loading and fab menus. More could come though

[stoic surge]

If there have been, they haven't made it to the Switch version yet

[hasty narwhal]

Well, it's better than nothing.

All in all, I think I'll grab it once a discount rolls around.

[next current]

Being able to run without holstering your tool is coming to SN in the next big update.

[hasty narwhal]

Oooh, very noice indeed. Have to look into the post for the juicy details.

Oh, I forgot to ask a couple things.

[next current]

Oh! And I think PDA pause is also getting back ported to Subnautica.

[hasty narwhal]

PDA pause?

[next current]

The game will pause when your PDA is open.

That way you can read and listen to entries without having to worry about your oxygen running out.

[hasty narwhal]

Will it be an optional feature?

[next current]

Yeah.

[hasty narwhal]

Ah, sweet.

[next current]

I never used it. I found it to sorta hinder my progress.

[hasty narwhal]

I never really read entries unless I'm in a safe environment anyways. Plus it adds that wee bit of extra tension when going for inventory swaps/medkits

I saw that the Stasis Rifle had been removed, too. What was the stated reason?

[eternal garnet]

another useful accessibility feature: make interactables glow. So helpful

[hasty narwhal]

Nice

[charred creek]

whats a reactor rod

whats thi

[hasty narwhal]

Alien munitions?

[eternal garnet]

story item. scan it

[charred creek]

k

[eternal garnet]

See icon bottom right? It means SCAN ME

[charred creek]

whats reactor rod

[eternal garnet]

for the nuke power reactor. Don't pick up the spent ones

[hasty narwhal]

Did they mention why the Stasis Rifle got the axe?

[eternal garnet]

probably because people use it to kill leviathans

it's available via cheat still

[charred creek]

are all parell processing unit frags in mercury?

[eternal garnet]

yesbut, not all 3 in the same wreck. They are all mercury II

[charred creek]

where r the other wrecks

[hasty narwhal]

By stasis-stabbing them to death?

[coarse parcel]

One is SE of the delta docks, one is almost directly E of the delta docks and the last one is SSW of the one east of the delta docks

[eternal garnet]

yes. two in purple vents, one in lilypads

[coarse parcel]

@charred creek

[next current]

😬

So... who wants to tell him?

Oh wait... I'm dumb, LMAO!!

[charred creek]

found se docks one but wheres the enterance

[hasty narwhal]

Wait, that's why they got rid of the Stasis Rifle?

[charred creek]

cant find last frag

[coarse parcel]

Just do circles around it, I’m not 100% but I think it’s at around 200 m?

[charred creek]

what milestone gives me silver

[next current]

Argentite Outcrops drop Silver. They look like Shale from SN.

[charred creek]

i accidently picked up. BEACON and its not in my inventory

[eternal garnet]

it should be

[carmine bobcat]

Somethings don't appear when your inventory is already full

[charred creek]

will i be able to make it to the place where the woman with customized pawn suit that has a present for me with a pawn suit or do i need a truck

[eternal garnet]

so vague. Do you mean greenhouse? Take truck there. It's on an iceberg above water

[charred creek]

yes

also VAGUE? HUH

[eternal garnet]

the greenhouse is hard to find. Go 1140m east of delta dock beacon. South a little bit too

[charred creek]

i found a iceberg how do i know its the one

[eternal garnet]

look back to the delta beacon

[charred creek]

500 metres away

[eternal garnet]

you want 1140 and it should be west, and little north

[charred creek]

west?

it said east

[eternal garnet]

the beacon, yes. Greenhouse east

[next current]

Mmmmmmm.... you should seek fluid intake.

[charred creek]

shut up

[west mountain]

It's the very last iceberg when you head East, it has an arch with the lovely pinnacarids

[charred creek]

WHERE is the present this woman promised mw

[west mountain]

You will find it in the green house

[eternal garnet]

well, did you find it? She means the information

[charred creek]

UGH

i wanted a better present

[eternal garnet]

But, she also gives you the best food recipe

[west mountain]

Delicious

[eternal garnet]

And now, you can go into her kitchen and scan

[west mountain]

You will never eat anything else

[next current]

[charred creek]

no im always on seek fluid intake im poor and cannot afford water

[next current]

Ouch.

[west mountain]

Then you have to get the still suite 🙂

Endless supply of water

[charred creek]

:0

[next current]

The water filtration suit is garbage.

[charred creek]

HOW

[eternal garnet]

Still suit. Just don't ask where the water is from

[next current]

Water Purification Tablets are superior.

[west mountain]

But you need snow and frost vase plants

Salt I have plenty

[next current]

I mean... it's an instant Large Filtered Water.

[west mountain]

from the water purification machine

[next current]

Frost Vases are farmable.

And snow doesn't melt while in the inventory.

[west mountain]

Yes its convenient when you are on land but not so much when cruising around.

But just carry something with you

I always have my seatruck loaded with food and beverages, you never know when you get back home 🙂

Or where you will stay overnight

[charred creek]

markusw

[west mountain]

Yes, Sir

[charred creek]

u said i had access to the kitchen????

[west mountain]

Once you went to the green house first, then you can go back to Maidas base

[eternal garnet]

Did you go to the greenhouse really?

[charred creek]

yes

[west mountain]

You spoke with Maida and scanned all the items

[charred creek]

proof

[eternal garnet]

yes. Strange

[charred creek]

what else was there to scan

[west mountain]

A lot

[charred creek]

like?

[west mountain]

Interior base pieces

Toilett, shower, stove

[charred creek]

why would i need that to enter here

[eternal garnet]

no, not a lot. Shower, sink, toilet, stove, Marges reaper story #3

[west mountain]

How comes you are back there so quick???

[charred creek]

wdum

[west mountain]

You were just searching the green house

and now you are back at Maidas base????

[charred creek]

ye i went back after i searched

yes ?????????

[west mountain]

Probabely too quick 🙂

[charred creek]

what about it

[west mountain]

Have you been to Omega lab yet

[charred creek]

i got 2 pda and went out

omega lab?

[west mountain]

If you look the map, there is the Omega facility that they were taking about. That is another place to visit.

[charred creek]

map?

[west mountain]

But I have the impression you should spend a bit more time at these locations 🙂 Did you check out the fruits at the green house?

The map from Delta station, the one you scanned from the wall

Its in your PDA under maps

[charred creek]

huh

[west mountain]

Yes, that one

[eternal garnet]

under Alterra/Maps, after you scan the wall map in delta base

[west mountain]

Have you deactivated the radio tower yet

[charred creek]

yes

[west mountain]

Wow, you made incredible progress, congrats!!!

[charred creek]

thanks

[west mountain]

Do you have the map?

[charred creek]

what map?????????

[west mountain]

You have to go back to delta station

[charred creek]

and look where

[eternal garnet]

again:
under Alterra/Maps, after you scan the wall map in delta base

[west mountain]

And scan all the items in the rooms, incuding the map on the wall.

Check your PDA again, as meatie wrote

[charred creek]

k

[west mountain]

Also you have to scan the buildings and the ceilings and the observatory. Everything that gives you a scan icon. That's what gives you all the good blueprints for building and interior decoration

Like tables, chairs, aquarium, beds, etc.

Scanning is everything in this game

[carmine bobcat]

This game is literally scanning simulator

[eternal garnet]

no, it's a beacon spamming contest
