You have everything to build it?

In your PDA is a voice log "gone fishing". There you find a hint. Listen to it.

woven flicker
#

ok ok

west mountain
#

under Alterra

#

Excellent!

woven flicker
#

:)

coarse sparrow
#

Ok i am here to just put down my words

#

Subnautica below zero's experience is wayyyyyyyyyyy better than Subnautica
It is more polished and has more work put into it

#

I also get a calm feeling when playing sbz

west mountain
#

Excellent description

coarse sparrow
#

Which i dont when playing subnautica. Because the biomes in subnautica below zero are just sooo beautiful!!!

#

Keep in mind i play on ps4

#

Sbz is just wayyy cooler than sb

coarse sparrow
#

Do you know why they took a survey of our sea trucks

#

That we dock with or without the modules

west mountain
#

I dont know about it, where?

coarse sparrow
#

In announcements i think

coarse sparrow
#

You know anything?

#

Are they making a new moonpool

#

Or some changes to the existing moonpool

west mountain
#

No, I dont know. Only that some people with to park the entire seatruck with modules attached, for example

#

So you can connect moonpools to get a long space for the entire seatruck with modules.

#

Something like that, but thats to be seen

coarse sparrow
#

Ohh is that implemented?

west mountain
#

Just rumors

coarse sparrow
#

Ahh ok

west mountain
#

I made two moonpools connected with tubes in the length of my seatruck with modules. So I can park the seatruck in the first and the prawn in the second.

#

that looks nice

coarse sparrow
#

Ohh

#

Thanks for the info m8

regal fossil
#

Thx @bold monolith really helpful

zealous condor
#

I found mercury 2

#

Again whan im low on water trying to find kelp forest for what

#

Evry time im about to die i find this ship

#

I hate it, why

amber hemlock
#

The game wants you to die in the ship

zealous condor
#

Oh it sure does

amber hemlock
#

Just like the others

zealous condor
#

I had 30 oxygen in frist mercury for like 10minutes

#

Beacuse i couldnt find exit

#

The only reason i survived was me using the oxygen plants

amber hemlock
#

The ghosts of the ship wants you to join them

zealous condor
#

I also didnt had laser cutter

#

So i gotta find the frist ship

#

To check the rest

west mountain
#

Also within Mercury II wreck you can drop a beacon to mark your path, or you can use the path finder tool also (personally I did not even craft it, but thats its purpose)

west mountain
# zealous condor Evry time im about to die i find this ship

You have to make beacons. Whenever you stumble upon something interesting, drop a beacon and give it a name. Then you can always come back. Dont use the beacons that are given to you as landmark e.g. delta station as they are very convenient to have.
Also within Mercury II wreck you can drop a beacon to mark your path, or you can use the path finder tool also (personally I did not even craft it, but thats its purpose)

Dear Ignis, I could not replicate my dead pinnacarid in a containment tank. But what definitely does not survive in a crowded tank are rock grubs. I put 5 inside and eventually they are all gone. What I am thinking of is not, that animals get hostile but that they take collision damage from each other. And if one gets too much it dies. After all several users have reported dead animals in alien containment tanks, me included and also fandom states a maximum number, but I assume this is purely from observation or best practice, quote: "If the player leaves two creatures of the same species inside the Alien Containment for long enough, they will breed and another fish of the same species will spawn inside. Once the Alien Containment reaches a population of ten fish, the reproductive process will stop. If more fish are added after the maximum is reached, some will die and float to the top of the container. Multiple Alien Containments stacked on top of each other will increase the amount by ten each. The population capacity of Alien Containments constructed in Large Rooms is twenty."

arctic whale
#

I should go back to both Subnautica and Subnautica:Below Zero and scan the creatures I didn't scan yet

west mountain
#

Yes, thats one personal goal I made for myself to have all PDA scans a voice logs

bold monolith
#

"If more fish are added after the maximum is reached, some will die and float to the top of the container." This statement is just wrong.

#

They stop breading, that's all.

west mountain
#

I agree, I think its just by observation

bold monolith
#

I'll try the rockgrub, but it's possible that it is a collision problem. They free themselves.

west mountain
#

I stuffed the tank with everything I had (all species) and nothing happend, so I see your point but somehow creatures can die in the thank, thats reported by users.

bold monolith
#

It is most likely exterior sources though.

austere sparrow
#

Why would the rock grubs collide with each other, they’re tiny.

bold monolith
#

Not with themselves, but sometimes you can see creatures getting out of the enclosure, not restricted to where the glass is.

#

It was improved, but you still can see this.

austere sparrow
#

I’ve already seen that several times already with fish breaching into the base.

bold monolith
#

It is indeed annoying, especially considering if you pick them up they'll most likely respawn inside.

austere sparrow
#

Haven’t had that happen actually.

#

Might be more of an issue in larger complexes though.

stoic surge
#

I once set of my Seatruck's perimeter defence too close to my base and killed the fish in my containment 😦

west mountain
#

Ohhh, that is terrible

stoic surge
#

It was just common bladderfish, so I could replace them, but still ... RIP, little guys

west mountain
#

Yes, imagine it is a trivalve

#

that one is not replacable

austere sparrow
west mountain
#

Yes, absolutely

austere sparrow
#

No idea where to find them.

stoic surge
#

I have found them, but only have hatched and played with a gold one

west mountain
#

You want a hint

austere sparrow
#

Sure.

west mountain
#

||The are close to two alien body parts||

#

Enough or more?

austere sparrow
#

That’s not really much of a clue.

west mountain
#

Well there are only three body parts

#

Ok, one are in the ||deep lilypad cave|| and one are in the ||arctic spires||

zealous condor
austere sparrow
#

I use it for the leviathans, and occasionally the brute sharks and cryptosuchus.

tacit flicker
#

Where is the seatruck afterburner upgrade at?

west mountain
#

||in the lilypad crevice, in the caves where the pilot last known positions is||

tacit flicker
#

Oh

west mountain
#

There are|| many good upgrades there, so make sure to scan the seamonkey nest very carefully. Its all there.||

tacit flicker
#

Thx

zealous condor
#

Finnalt i got nuclear reactor blueprint

#

Soon i will be able to flex and make fun from evryone that dont use nuclear energy, not only in subnautica chat but now also in bellow zero

#

I dont even have to make rods which is a shame honestly

zealous condor
#

Im done

west mountain
#

Rods burn out so i made four lockers full of them

zealous condor
#

You for sure have engouch time to finish playtrough if you have 1 rod

west mountain
#

Depends on the energy consumption of your base

#

Make sure to build it fsr from your base

zealous condor
#

How much can you consume

west mountain
#

It makes an aweful noise

zealous condor
#

Just put speakers

#

And turn on music

west mountain
#

I just put it at the far end of my base two tubes away

zealous condor
#

I dont hear anything on 100%

zealous condor
#

How can you consume so much energy

#

That 4rods arent engouch

next current
#

I do not consume, I absorb.

west mountain
#

I played for 300 hrs so i used about 10 so far

#

The problem is that empty rods cannot be recycled

#

You have to dispose them

austere sparrow
#

Solar panel spam ftw.

west mountain
#

Have you scanned the nuclear wast container

austere sparrow
#

Though to to be fair, I don't have super much here.

west mountain
#

Excellent

regal fossil
#

Wow below zero is a buggy mess on switch. Force closing periodically and making me lose progress. Enough to make me ask for a refund ffs

zealous condor
#

Ofcource

tacit flicker
#

Idk when I last saved so I might lose like 2 hours of progress

austere sparrow
#

Darnit, time to build fridges then.

zealous condor
#

What about it

tacit flicker
#

And my god is it hard to navigate around the lilypad crevase

zealous condor
tacit flicker
#

Took me so long to find the parts to the seatruck afterburner

zealous condor
#

You can plant rotten thinfs

west mountain
#

Make fruit salad and all food problems are gone

#

Anyways what was parallel processing untit for, i forgot

austere sparrow
#

Old and rotten ||prestons delights|| will still work on the ||stalkers||, right?

west mountain
#

Sure

#

They are not picky

austere sparrow
#

Cool then.

#

Was wondering if I needed to set up another place.

regal fossil
austere sparrow
#

Does fhe prawn suit jump jet upgrade stack? The wiki doesn't clearly say whether it does or not

eternal garnet
#

no, I wouldn't think so

stoic surge
austere sparrow
#

Yea I do.

stoic surge
#

cool

#

So it won't hurt to try

#

I think my favorite Prawn add-on would be the thermal charger

austere sparrow
#

Is it useful in the glacier areas?

stoic surge
#

The glacial area has guysers, you can stand over one to charge

austere sparrow
#

Haven't seen too many deeper in, but okay, was wondering on opinion.

west mountain
#

The only prawn upgrade that stacks is the storage upgrade

austere sparrow
#

Ok, good to know.

#

I was trying to consider what to put in the last slot.

west mountain
#

For collecting resources a second storage is useful

vocal hatch
#

Yh

nimble needle
austere sparrow
#

Or both? heh

nimble needle
#

Well you only have one slot

#

Thermal power is useful for extended missions but the extra storage is so useful for mining.

just looking out for you 👍

zealous condor
#

Yea also he is a camper

#

Like bruh it sees me from 200 meters and charges

#

Thats so stupid

#

Why does it attack me

#

Doesnt it have other things to attack

west mountain
#

Did you get a good scan of him?

zealous condor
west mountain
#

Ah, so you need to go back

zealous condor
#

No

#

I just load a save

#

Im getting all kyanite i can and get the heck out

#

And i will try to find grapling arm for prawn

west mountain
#

Ah Kyanite, so you will go back, sooner or later

zealous condor
#

No

#

Im not coming back for kyanite

#

Im gonna get all kyanite i may need in future

#

And i aint returning until alan tells me to

#

I got 2 kyanite for reactor

#

And saved, now i can commit multiple suicides exploring

#

Okay i know what to do

#

Deaatach all the seatruck modules and go for a charge

#

Until you are out of his patrol zone

#

I assume im supposed to get here with prawn

#

But i dont accept failure

copper pagoda
#

I just finished the game without console commands!

west mountain
#

Excellent, congratulations!

zealous condor
#

It worked

#

And i got to some new facility

#

Anyways its gonna take another 3 attempts to leave

#

Help

#

How much kyanite do i need for a whole game

#

I already got the ||architects organs so im done with 1 reason why i shouldnt come back here now i gotta compleate 2nd reason wich is get engouch kyanite for the rest of a game, and third is to kill void leviathan but i dont have statisw rifle yet||

west mountain
#

There are no weapons in the game

zealous condor
#

Bruh

#

They deleted statis rifle

#

I cant freeze leviathan

west mountain
#

You can kill them if you want

zealous condor
#

But is statis rifle in game

west mountain
#

No, no weapons

zealous condor
#

Okay

#

How many torpedos are required to kill him

west mountain
#

You have prawn torpedo arm, which does nothing and the prawn vortex cannon which does nothing

zealous condor
#

Bruh

west mountain
#

Just use your seatruck

#

best weapon in the game

zealous condor
#

I gotta ram him?

west mountain
#

Of course and then repair

zealous condor
#

How many times

west mountain
#

and ram and repair until it is dead

#

and zapp it with the zapper

zealous condor
#

Okay

#

How many times do i gotta charge at it

west mountain
#

You will see, its actually easier than you might think

#

But you have to hit it in the head/neck area

zealous condor

# copper pagoda I just finished the game without console commands!

I think i'll need console commands because i was going through the arctic spires and me + my prawn clipped through the floor into nothingness, and i don't want to lose the prawn because it has all the ion cubes from the arctic spires, which is all that's left unless there's an ion cube generator like subnautica. Heres the worst part: I'm on Switch

west mountain
#

you have to see th green clouds of the hitbox

zealous condor
#

Even the squid shark beacuse he was a prick

#

Anyways

#

How many minutes does it take

#

To kill it

west mountain
#

And when you are done with it, then there are ||three more||

#

So take your time 🙂

zealous condor
#

Ok, i just want the guy next to enterence ded

#

Also

west mountain
#

Sure, his brother will come for his funeral

#

Then go ahead and let us know how it went

willow plank
#

when is anal going to tell me the location of crystal caverns base and his last part?

zealous condor
#

Is there anything else to take other than ||architects part and kyanite||

west mountain
#

You will see

zealous condor
#

Beacuse if no, just tell me how much kyanite do i need

#

How much kyanite do i need for the whole game

west mountain
#

A handfull is enough

zealous condor
#

6?

west mountain
#

Do you have all ||the stuff for the architekt body||

zealous condor
#

How many are there

west mountain
#

You see it in your inventory

willow plank
zealous condor
willow plank
zealous condor
#

I need it

west mountain
#

You can still collect more when you are going there again

zealous condor
#

Dont care its unnecessary

west mountain
#

Prawn suit depth 2 needs 1 kyanite

zealous condor
west mountain
#

So you can collect it when you go there again

zealous condor
#

And than i will have fun killing

west mountain
#

Excellent, go ahead

zealous condor
#

So how much do i need kyanite to build evrything that needs it

eternal garnet
#

dunno. 8 will prob cover it

austere sparrow
#

But that one is not absolutely neccesary.

west mountain
#

that one needs 2, depth 1

zealous condor
#

Im gonna get 9

west mountain
#

Excellent, that is definitely enough

zealous condor
#

Anyways, that's gotta Wait for tommorow

austere sparrow
#

All in all though, you won't need much.

zealous condor
#

Also was i supposed to already discover architects ||organs||

west mountain
#

There is no rule

#

what you find you find

eternal garnet
#

only a law

zealous condor
#

Does he give you the location later

west mountain
#

For what?

eternal garnet
#

no, you do not get locations for all

zealous condor
#

For the ||organs||

austere sparrow
willow plank
#

When will anal give me the organ location?

zealous condor
#

Never

willow plank
#

Why

zealous condor
#

He doesnt want Your progress to continiue for some reason

west mountain
#

He gives very suttle hints

zealous condor
#

Yea

willow plank
#

I got everything except for the organs

#

No autocorrect

zealous condor

I suspected so

austere sparrow

What does autocorrect have to do with Al An, I'm totally lost here.

west mountain

Wrong spelling

a bit further up

austere sparrow

Though that function will be useful in the glaciers, dang whiteout conditions.

spice seal
#

Taking away fog seems more than just subtle ngl

eternal garnet
#

taking away fog helps with fear of open water

west mountain
#

No there are just AlAn talking that should give you hints

#

And some clues when you get close

#

Nothing more

#

So if anybody needs help, just ask

austere sparrow
#

And one area he literally can't ||because the crystals are scattering the signals like a hall of mirrors||.

willow plank
#

I can't live without the water volume option or the perimiter defense system especially in the crystal caves

austere sparrow
#

Peremiter defense system definetly. Water opacity isn't that bad down there though, and those leviathans screech right as they attack.

next current
floral lava
#

What-

eternal garnet
#

yes, but not the other two

floral lava
#

I need to explore that place when I get home

#

So it's in the middle, right?

eternal garnet
#

under the huge floaty rock, that totally doesn't have a secret inside it

floral lava
#

:0000

austere sparrow
#

Is it possible to blast these doors open wider?

floral lava
#

How do I know when I'm in the middle?

austere sparrow
#

I was able to get the seatruck itself through though.

quick terrace
#

you can get through them with just the Seatruck cabin but it's difficult, I'd recommend either using a Prawn or seagliding down with an ultra tank and rebreather, there's enough oxygen plants for that

austere sparrow
#

Took a lot of wiggling around.

eternal garnet
#

yes, top of the door is easiest

austere sparrow
quick terrace
#

yeah sadly you can't

#

I hear there's an alternate way in but I haven't found it

eternal garnet
#

on top, past at least 2 lava vents

west mountain
#

||There are two alternative entries, one with seatruck and modues attached||

austere sparrow
floral lava
#

I need to make my seatruck-

#

I'm not at home right now so I cant check the materials for kt

austere sparrow
#

looks around How did I not notice it.

floral lava
#

What materials do I need for the Sea truck?-

quick terrace
#

check your blueprints

quick terrace
#

I looked around inside the mining site for the alternate way out and I couldn't find it, where is it?

eternal garnet
#

first room ceiling

quick terrace
#

I imagine it's probably somewhere in the middle of that long downward sloping tunnel section

#

oh, idk how I wouldn't have noticed that

west mountain
#

There are two. One right when you enter the mine at the ceiling. Very well hidden. Thats the best one

stoic surge
#

It is possible to go in and out the front door in the seatruck cab, you just have to wedge thru sideways

west mountain
#

If you like. The other entrance i passed with docking module and prawn attached

#

Just left the storage at the door and mined all resources

quick terrace
#

I'll have to look for that

#

I feel like it'd be a lot easier to locate from the inside as opposed to the outside

west mountain
#

There are videos showing both ways

quick terrace
#

and when I find the outside entrance I can drop a beacon

#

I'm taking my second save more slowly so I haven't made the Prawn yet, I'll wait until I get that before going to Koppa

west mountain
#

You can go to koppa for the scans and later with prawn for mining

#

As you wish

quick terrace
#

the Twisty Bridges was definitely the right place to make my first base

#

this looks so much cooler than any of my previous BZ bases

#

also, these things are adorable

#

this is the first time I've seen them, never hatched any in my first save

#

Baby squidsharks are cute too.

oh

west mountain
#

Excellent then go ahead

#

I have a love hate relationship with building

#

why?? I don't see any reason this shouldn't be able to go here

#

it can go here

#

and here

#

but not in between for whatever fricking reason

floral lava
#

I found a ||portal at phi!!!!||

#

I'm being a bit picky about where I actually want my base

#

Where should I make it?

austere sparrow
#

Question on the jump jet, are the figures the wiki gives for water only: Without the upgrade, the maximum vertical height the thrusters achieve is 56.8 m, whereas with the upgrade it can reach a maximum vertical height of 135.8 m. ?

zealous condor
#

If you didnt i can recomend a small underwater mountain that borders 3 biomes, on each side theres diffrent biome

#

One of them is with the hot thingys

#

The other is kelp forest

#

And the third one i dont remember

#

Also

floral lava
zealous condor
#

How do you move a base

#

AM i supposed to make 10locker modules for a seatruck

#

Just to move my base in one go

#

I assume i could make new one

#

But reasources

floral lava
#

I mean

#

You could make a small base and then put a ton of lockers in it

zealous condor
#

I want cool base

#

I want home

floral lava
#

I mean

#

Like a temporary thing

#

@quick terrace Where could I put my permanent base?

zealous condor
#

Next to some leviathan

#

Oh in void

#

And make a Giant tunnel out from the void

#

So you dont get killed

floral lava
#

I-

#

But- Why would I even do that-

I just realized I won the game without dying.

quick terrace
#

I'd recommend someplace like the Twisty Bridges or Lilypad Islands

#

regular Twisty Bridges that is, not the shallow ones

floral lava
#

Oh

#

Which is the regular?

#

The one that ||Goes to the bottom in which you can get diamonds?||

stoic surge
floral lava
#

Ah

#

But where would it be nice tho?

#

Cuz like

stoic surge
floral lava
#

Well

#

Ummm

#

What about close to ||Phi?||

quick terrace
floral lava
#

A

#

I need normal twisty bridges

#

But I don't want it too deep

quick terrace
#

the regular one is this one

floral lava
#

I want it (my base) above 100 meters

#

Is that above 100 meters? Preferably 50 meters qwq

#

It feels like the twisty bridges are just the tails of reefbacks!!!!

quick terrace
#

there's 3 different Twisty Bridges
Shallow Twisty Bridges, which the drop pod lands in and is basically the Safe Shallows of BZ
Twisty Bridges, which goes down to over 200m and has all the coral bridges but is exposed to the surface
and Deep Twisty Bridges, which has Squidsharks and is underneath the Twisty Bridges, entirely in a cave

floral lava
#

I am starting to have a theory

#

What if the reefbacks from the first game are just the twisty bridges now?

quick terrace
#

nah they're made of coral

#

says so in the wiki, plus they're called "coral bridges"

floral lava
#

THEY ARE?!

quick terrace
#

not to mention Reefback's tentacles are nowhere near that huge

floral lava
#

Dang

#

What about the ones in the safe shallows?

quick terrace
#

all coral

floral lava
#

Those ones look small

quick terrace
#

I mean it's an interesting observation but they have nothing to do with Reefbacks

#

plus Reefbacks don't exist in Sector Zero, it'd probably be too cold for them

floral lava
#

Wait-

#

So sector zero is located somewhere else in 4546B?

floral lava
#

Hmm

#

So, in theory, we could travel to the crater?

quick terrace
floral lava
#

And see the base?

quick terrace
#

what base?

floral lava
#

The one the janitor built

#

In theory we could indeed travel to the crater

#

It'd just take a LOT of time

quick terrace
#

not really without the proper equipment

floral lava
#

But we could

quick terrace
#

in the ending of Subnautica you can see Sector Zero from space when you launch the Neptune

floral lava
#

Where is it located?

#

On the poles?

quick terrace
#

no, just nearer to the south

floral lava
#

Hmmmm

#

So there COULD be a point in which both voids converge?

quick terrace
#

as you fly around the outside of the planet before using the ion thrusters you can see a large cluster of whiteish stuff in the south, that's Sector Zero

#

technically the entire planet is the void, the Crater and Sector Zero are only tiny dots compared to the whole planet

floral lava
#

Yes but

#

Does that mean that there could, potentially, be more leviathan hiding in those voids?

quick terrace
#

it's really up to the lore

#

ingame of course there is no way to get from one to the other

floral lava
#

I am gonna need coffee for this theory

#

So

#

I'm guessing 4546B has tectonic plates

quick terrace
#

probably

floral lava
#

So

#

We could, in theory, eventually, have more land on 4546B

quick terrace
#

btw this is the Deep Twisty Bridges (from the previous topic)

#

was gonna send that before but had to go make a sandwich

floral lava
#

Lmao

#

Was the sandwich good?

quick terrace
#

not sure yet, I'm eating it tomorrow

#

gonna be gone for the whole day

floral lava
#

Pof

I have to get up at like 6 in the morning though ohno

floral lava
#

I'm having like freaking theories right now

floral lava
quick terrace
#

what

floral lava
#

Yeah

#

Too bad there's no clock in BZ

#

I'd love to be able to wake up at 5am everyday in BZ

quick terrace
floral lava
#

Oh-

quick terrace
#

a digital one on the wall

floral lava
#

Oh-

#

Does it have an alarm?

quick terrace
#

sadly no lol

floral lava
#

Oof

#

Alright, guess I'm not letting Robin sleep

quick terrace
#

xD

floral lava
#

Or is it sam?-

quick terrace
#

it's Robin

#

Sam is her deceased sister

floral lava
#

Oof-

#

Alright- I need tons of titanium cuz I'm moving to the normal twisty bridges

#

They're north south east or west??

quick terrace
#

I haven't adjusted my brain to the Sector Zero map yet so I'm not sure

#

if you're in the Shallow ones just go around and you should find them

floral lava
#

I need to know

sterile shadow
floral lava
#

Can I live with the penglings?!

quick terrace
#

I typically go by landmarks and memory instead of direction so I'm generally not that good with directions lol

sterile shadow
#

I typically go by maps and 0% memory andi_stare

quick terrace
#

I got along just fine without the compass

#

never needed it

#

I'd just memorize routes and locations

sterile shadow
#

I can tell you exactly if you send me your coordinates.

quick terrace
#

so I was getting lithium in the Purple Vents a few days ago and realized how unused to the feminine shadow I was lol
is it just me or are shadows much more distinct in this game compared to in the first one?

#

even in dimmer places like the Lilypad Islands I can clearly see the Seatruck's shadow under it if I'm looking down while piloting it

floral lava
#

Where do I find lots of titanium tho?-

quick terrace
#

everywhere, just look for outcroppings

#

since there's not much metal salvage in BZ they've made up for it by making every type of outcropping have a chance to give titanium, rather than just limestone like in the first game

floral lava
#

I'm gonna need a lot of it to save all my stuff into a small room

#

I'm gonna use the small lockers, but which ones are best tho?

quick terrace
#

depends on what you're needing them for

floral lava
#

Temporary storage

quick terrace
#

I like the small ones for sorted storage because you can name them

#

typically I use the large ones for bulk storage of things like titanium

sterile shadow
quick terrace
#

I do use those

#

but usually only for labelling bulk storage

#

since I'd have to use so many otherwise

sterile shadow
quick terrace
#

you won't regret building a base in the Twisty Bridges, look at this view @floral lava

floral lava
#

:000000

#

OMG IT IS AMAZING

quick terrace
#

I don't think I can build a single base without having a least one large room that has a glass roof on top

#

it's a necessity

floral lava
#

I got a lot of titanium now

#

So I should be ready

#

But I'm gonna have to send yall pics on which is the best looking location

quick terrace
#

oh yeah this happened to me earlier when I was gathering materials lmao
3 of them ganged up on me at once
Brutesharks are so much more annoying than Stalkers, why are they so persistent
the worst thing is that you can hear the constant snarling noise behind you the entire time that you're being followed so you know they're there

#

I swear half my resource gathering time is just Seagliding in circles to avoid these things

floral lava
#

Lmao

quick terrace
#

multiple times I've gone back to my base with no medkits and low health

floral lava
#

Ok, I need to know WHERE I'm making my base

#

Will you help me choose where @quick terrace ?

quick terrace
#

sure

floral lava
#

Thanks

quick terrace
#

the base I'm currently working on is built next to this central pillar structure, around 140 m down

floral lava
#

:0

quick terrace
#

I chose the area over top of the Deep Twisty Bridges entrance because it goes the deepest and has the most coral bridges spanning all over the place so it's the coolest looking part of the Twisty Bridges imo

floral lava
#

Miceee

quick terrace
#

it's not done yet, I'm still working on the interior

#

the pic from inside the large room with the alien containment was one of the most recent ones

#

the two above are older, before I added anything in the upper room

floral lava
#

Ok so

quasi ocean
#

hello

floral lava
#

I'm dismounting all the top first

#

And then I'm gonna get everything that was on there into the new base

#

I wanna have like 2 rooms, the upper one, which is My room

#

And the bottom one, which is like work relayed

quick terrace
#

I like being relatively deep down so that I have that amazing view with all the coral bridges going back and forth over my head all the way up to the surface, if I made it higher the effect wouldn't be nearly as cool

quick terrace
#

this is part of my lower floor

#

behind the door I have more storage, a nuclear reactor and a water filtration machine and vending machine

floral lava
#

Alright

quick terrace
#

this was before I put the other stuff in

floral lava
#

Top floor is empty now

quick terrace
#

I'm probably gonna go for now, need to get to bed early tonight

fallen reef
#

why is there a literal lobster in BZ

floral lava
#

HELP

#

I hear like a beep

#

And a roar, and them it's like an alarm or a siren

#

Helpp

#

@stoic surge

floral lava
#

It follows a rhythm

#

I only hear it below water

#

Beep tururummm

fallen reef
#

probably the soundtrack

floral lava
#

Like that ish

fallen reef
#

i wouldnt worry

floral lava
#

I'm in the sage shallows tho

#

And it keeps going

#

It gets louder when I'm close to the lifepod I THINK

austere sparrow
#

There isn't a 'safe shallows' as a biome label though.

floral lava
#

Nvm I also hear it over water

austere sparrow
#

It's more the shallow portion of twisty bridges.

floral lava
#

I heard like a Lil error sound effect

spice seal
floral lava
#

I'm scared

#

I'm thinking it might be the Delta station

#

It keeps going

#

It hasn't stopped

#

At what depth do the solar panels stop working?

floral lava
#

Oh-

#

So they don't stop working like in the first game?

stoic surge
#

I barely ever use the solar panels, I prefer the bioreactor in early game, switch to thermal plants as soon as I can build em

floral lava
#

Oh-

#

I am using the bioreactoe

stoic surge
floral lava
#

Yep

grave orbit
#

okie

austere sparrow
#

So, um, I found the ||antidote||, what am I supposed to do with it? Also, I don't seem to have any obvious conclusion to the ||investigation into Sam's death||, I did find the ||frozen leviathan|| and investigated the area, but no clear That's the answer, time to move on' conclusion.

stoic surge
austere sparrow
#

Ok

#

Still didn't get a clear conclusion as to what happened to ||Sam||, ||clearly something happened, but what isn't at all clear. There's also the matter of Alterra seemingly suddenly abandoning the area in a hurry with no explaination.||

The best place IMO for the regular Seatruck fragments is the Twisty Bridges 👍

#

Seatruck is buggy as hell 😖

carmine bobcat
#

Hmm

#

Is there Seamoth in BZ ?

regal fossil
#

Wow just found the biggest creature egg in the lily pads… 3x3 in size…

#

I’m thinking it’s a squid shark

sterile shadow

#

I wish they will add seamoth

carmine bobcat

zealous condor
#

Lets go my seatruck batterys are done

#

Great i gotta use seaglide to travel 500meters or more

west mountain
#

Sure, but have a spare battery too, or the swim charge fins

#

And always have spare cells for seatruck also 🙂

#

Well , dont have to tell you that now

zealous condor
#

Wait maybe i can Craft power cell

#

It doesnt help theres void leviathan

west mountain
#

That will be a heck of a rescue mission

zealous condor
#

Wait

#

I was carrying extra power cell

#

I returned to my module alresdy

west mountain
#

Hahaha, knowing your inventory is helpful.

#

Yes, so much stuff to carry around, gets confusing from time to time

#

What have you done down there?

zealous condor
#

Okay i have 30 oxygen, seatruck Has 30hp i gotta repair it and get in before anyone sees me

west mountain
#

You always have time to repair after an attck

#

Or hide in a crevice

zealous condor
#

I did it

west mountain
#

Excellent

zealous condor
#

Now its go time, i got the architects ||organs and 10 kyanite i aint returning||

west mountain
#

Excellent, how many parts have you know?

zealous condor
#

4

west mountain
#

I mean body parts

zealous condor
#

Oh i almost forgot i got seatruck docking module

#

Gotta Craft it

west mountain
#

incredible slow

zealous condor
#

How do you use it without hiting anything

west mountain
#

The mechanics works not like in real life

zealous condor
#

Also how to move a base

west mountain
#

its more forgivving

#

Deconstruct it

zealous condor
#

But in less than 10times going from a to b

west mountain
#

Do you have the recyclotron?

zealous condor
#

Yes

west mountain
#

then you can compact all items in the seatruck fabricator.

zealous condor
#

What

west mountain
#

Eg. 5 titanium --> 1 Ti ingot

zealous condor
#

Oh

west mountain
#

1 Ti ingot + 2 lithium --> 1 plasteel ingot

zealous condor
#

Okay but frist i gottta kill that one void leviathan to make the base

west mountain
#

But finally what is left you have to carry

#

And also make sure that you have left enought material to make the base and power to build the recyclotron inside, otherwise you cannot revert the stuff

#

And you can have more than one storage module. In my picture you see that I have two storage and the prawn with to additional 2 storage modules. So plent of room to carry stuff

zealous condor
#

Ah, i gotta get zaper module

west mountain
#

WHAT???? Why you dont have that?

#

That is essential

#

Havent you been to maida

zealous condor
#

Beacuse i didnt see it

west mountain
#

🙂

zealous condor
#

Not my fault someone puts sucha stuff behind some boxes isntead of table

west mountain
#

She is a messy

#

Have you seen her dishes, gross

zealous condor
#

Anyways

west mountain
#

I went to her toilet, but no, went back out again

zealous condor
#

Im gonna make myself a salad

west mountain
#

Enjoy

zealous condor
#

Lets go

#

I can now craft basicly water

#

And food in one

#

And it can be eaten even in 100years

west mountain
#

You have the still suit

zealous condor
#

Im not gonna use it

west mountain
#

Ok, its very convenient

zealous condor
#

I prefer salads

west mountain
#

you eat too much. You have to watch your body weight

#

Dont make Robbin fat 🙂

zealous condor
#

Dude

#

I have whole fridge full of fevered peeper

west mountain
#

Look for a healthy diet

#

Fish, Potato, Fruit, Veggi

zealous condor
#

I do

west mountain
zealous condor
#

Salad is from fruits

#

Anyways

#

Lets do my math homework 10 minutes before a lesson

west mountain
#

Probabely a good choice

zealous condor
#

Anyways

#

Its time to Google the answer

west mountain
#

Ahhhhh... thats not how its suppose to be

#

I think they want you to figure it out yourself, no?

#

But hey, go ahead 🙂

zealous condor
#

Never ever in my life

#

Anyways

#

Cyclop is better mobile base

#

Math with letters? Algebra eh

west mountain
#

No hexadecimal

broken badge
#

Oh

west mountain
#

Important in computer programming

#

🙂

broken badge
#

I know what hex is

west mountain
#

I always give my age in hexadecimal, its more flattering

#

At least the years with no letter inside

broken badge
#

I was bored in math and figured out how to spell my nickname on my calculator in class one day using hexadecimal😛

west mountain
#

I think that is a very good way to learn hex conversion

#

Type a word and figure out the value

regal fossil
west mountain
#

What is says, it teleports you from where you are back into the module

#

But there is a catch to it with a sneaky solution

regal fossil
#

What if you’re in your prawn suit?

west mountain
#

It only teleports you its a personal teleportation device

#

You also have a tether tool you have to operate, so you have to leave the prawn to use it (hold in your hand)

#

An no, the zapper is the perimeter defense upgrade for the seatruck, very important to get rid of leviathans

#

The teleportation is a seatruck module, the "zapper" is a seatruck upgrade

fickle vale
#

okay

#

so tell me yall LIKEE WHATTT

#

like

plain igloo
#

Ok, so what i know from Robin's sister

fickle vale
#

I didnt know it was in the same planet

plain igloo
#

SPOILERS AHEAD

#

I'll tag them tho, don't worry

fickle vale
#

yeahh ahaha

plain igloo
#

Robin's sister was the main reason she came back to 4546B, which by then had turned into a ||research planet with a lot of scientists roaming the planet working for Alterra. I read somewhere that Alterra tried to study the virus to be able to use it to its advantages. Robin's sister and Marguerit Maida, the Degasi survivor (she killed the Reaper she encountered at the 3rd base, where Paul died, and later Bart ended up back on the island but then died to the virus some time later, but the Reaper dragged her too far into the Void, so she got pushed by the currents of the ocean staying afloat on the body of the Reaper. That's how she ended up in Sector Zero aka Below Zero map) went to sabotage the study of the virus (they were studying the giant fossil in the ice) by blocking the entrance to the cave. Unfortunately, Robin's sister died during the dynamite explosion. Alterra wrote it down as 'staff negligence' and stopped studying the virus bcuz of it, giving Robin the chance to go back to 4546B. That's where you start playing Below Zero and find the sanctuary of Al-An, the precursor trapped in the structure in the Twisted Bridges biome. After interacting with the structure he's in, right before the power runs out he downloads himself into your brain. That's where your quest starts of building a body for him so eventually both of you can leave the planet and go to the planet where the precursors (used to) live. Don't know if they're all dead or not cuz that's not made clear by the outro cutscene, but since the data found in Subnautica was already around a 1000 years old, and by then there were already 143 billion precursors killed by Kharaa (the virus) who knows how many precursors are still alive by the time you enter their planet...||

#

I basically spoiled the whole Below Zero storyline

#

Not in detail, but rough-edged

#

Altho i did spoil into detail what happened to Robin's sister, so BE CAREFUL FOR ANYONE NOT WANTING TO GET SPOILED

#

@fickle vale here ya go

weak gate
#

thanks

fickle vale
#

broo tysmmm

#

thats a hella nice story aswell!

#

But I’ve got one question

#

do they ever go to the precursor’s planet?

sterile shadow
fickle vale
#

nahh I don’t care LOL

#

the story is really interesting!!

west mountain
#

The story is really interesting and during gameplay its hard to follow

#

So I looked it up afterwards to better understand how it all started, the story of Maida, etc.

#

Als interesting to see afterwards what kind of help you got from all the voice logs

#

Some are very very subtle

sterile shadow
fickle vale
#

broo whatt

#

that sucksss that they left it on a cliffhanger

#

Like they didn’t even know what the planet looked like right?

west mountain
#

... ||They lived happily ever after||

#

Watch a youtube video|| showing the ending, then you know what we know about it||

sterile shadow
fickle vale
#

ohhh

#

nicee tyty imma watch a video

west mountain
#

On the channel ouf that youtuber you find an excellent playthrough from how to start till the end. I love to watch it even now I know the story, its just so beautiful.

#

So this is the final video showing the ending

fickle vale
#

tyyy

#

really good ending!

west mountain
plain igloo
#

As i said, bit overpriced

#

But when i first played it few days ago

#

It's just so different altho it being sorta the same game

#

I still love it, if we scramble away the story gaps and rough-edged stuff

#

I already noticed that the game also runs a lot smoother and is a lot more optimized than Subnautica

west mountain
bitter pollen
#

I dont want to be like a Report-man or something but I think that, Spy Penglings should take four iventory slots, because they are as big as drone cameras. So devs should add something like this to below zero.

plain igloo
bitter pollen
#

Thanks : )

west mountain
bitter pollen
#

Yoooo, I didn't notice

west mountain
#

Its a trick, you have to leave them on the fabricator 🙂

#

Just walk away when they are crafted and they stay

bitter pollen
#

This is actully cool

west mountain
#

Works with other objects as well, but not all are decorative

carmine bobcat
#

Does this game have some sort of map system or is it just as "find stuff through wandering in random directions" as the first game?

west mountain
#

No built in map. But you find|| two maps at different loctations||. There are maps on the internet, but of course huge spoilers

carmine bobcat
#

Yeah I pretty much used a map to help me in the first sub

#

I'm both too scared and too dumb to find things myself in it

west mountain
#

You want the link or find yourself?

carmine bobcat
#

I'm still in the first game

bitter pollen
#

Me too

#

But I'm about to end it soon.

carmine bobcat
#

I mean

#

Did I technically ruin the game for myself? Idk

#

Did I play it wrong?

bitter pollen
#

I think no

carmine bobcat
#

By using a map?

bitter pollen
#

no

carmine bobcat
#

Because how many people found things themselves without the maps? Imagine the feeling of discovery upon such things

west mountain
#

It must be right for you, not for others

#

I watched an entire playthrough before I decided to play it myself

bitter pollen
#

When I was starting subnautica I've watched videos about all creatures in this game.

sterile shadow
carmine bobcat
#

I do feel like it did

#

But I also don't feel like it's worth trying to have the experience I want at this point

bitter pollen
#

Dont worry about it.

#

Just have fun

bitter pollen
#

Yes

carmine bobcat
#

Because i feel bad for looking up where to find certain materials because I'm too impatient to just look through different zones

bitter pollen
#

Dont worry...

sterile shadow
carmine bobcat
#

I guess it's my old obsession with being a purist that hasn't gone away

#

Fear of only being able to discover stuff once and therefore missing out on playing the game the way it was meant to be played

#

It's also 4:24 and I'm obsessing over stuff

bitter pollen
#

Even when you meet leviathans that you know preety well. It is still scary like you see it for the first time

carmine bobcat
#

Haven't felt like this about it for a while. Went on a spree of just freely checking guides again but idk, Subnautica is making me sad for this reason and idk why.

#

Then again about the only zones I looked up the location of on this playthrough were the Blood Kelp and Grand Reef so I could find specific things.

#

I found Lost River totally by accident this time around

#

...idk maybe I'll just go without a map for the rest of the playthrough and call it good

#

...I'll stop obsessing and sleep. Sorry for rambling. I'm basically talking to myself by this point hehhh

sterile shadow
carmine bobcat
#

Aye yeah

#

I mean what is it even like to play the game without a map or guide or hints?

#

Lots of wandering?

#

Maybe if I do a playthrough again of the first game I'll just go mapless because I'll have forgotten where everything is by that time

west mountain
#

you will get a rougth map very early in the game.

carmine bobcat
#

...again. I'll just sleep. Purist mindset ruining my enjoyment of things again.

#

I don't know why I do it or why I think this way.

sterile shadow
carmine bobcat
#

It's one of the myriad of reasons why I know I have OCD without needing diagnosis.

||Maybe it's because I got an alien in my head?||

Where’s a good place for a base…?

west mountain
#

Near twisty bridges

My first base is at twisty bridge

#

Wanna make a second…

I have one in every biom, Liypads are a good place

#

even on top of it

Cool was thinking of liypad too

#

Ooh nice

Another good suggestion.

#

Need to find somewhere that’s far from base 1

And still relevant to resources

#

Oh no spoilers plz

Anywhere you like

regal fossil
#

I’m at a point where the story has kinda reached a standstill

If you are still in the game play then the one you have is the best and best located

Once you go for the west arctic its good to have a base at Phi dock.

#

Check the map, what locations have you not yet visited

#

e.g. where ||your sister worked||

plain igloo
#

Guys?

#

What upgrades are best for the Sea Truck?

#

And the Thermal Reactor for the PRAWN, is that even useful? Idk how much biomes are as heated as the Lava Zones in Subnautica

#

Is it worth putting that on my PRAWN? Or should I put an extra storage module on?

floral lava
#

I got the control room

west mountain
#

Excellent, will you build it?

#

Where did you get if from?

west mountain
#

Perimeter defense, depth mk 1,2,3, afterburner and horsepower.

#

The two later ones are helpful when you attach modules

west mountain
#

I put two storage modules because I use the prawn only for drilling resources

#

Then extra storage is super useful

#

And the jump pack of course and the drill arm

carmine bobcat
#

How too instal deep-sea module in seatruck

west mountain
#

You have to open the hatch at the top left of the sea truck and insert it there

carmine bobcat
#

ok

plain igloo
west mountain
#

These are the only four upgrades you get

plain igloo
#

I read somewhere that it got taken out of actual Survival

#

But i can find it in Creative

plain igloo
west mountain
#

I never used it so I cant tell

#

I would assume that it is only marginally usefull, especially with the docking module of the sea truck, you can take your prawn with you and only deploy it when needed.

#

But probabely there are people who only use the prawn and then you need every extra energy that you can get

#

I never run out of battery in my prawn, and later you can build the ion cell and then you have no battery issues anymore

icy coyote
#

What do I get at outpost zero

west mountain
#

Information, PDA, scans,

icy coyote
#

Oh ok

eager sapphire
#

place a base at every biome

I love each of my bases

altho I had much work with stabbing the eye jelly's to get them away to build

Hey, can you harvest the thingies that appear where the sea monkey nests are?

west mountain
floral lava
#

The ones that grown on like vines (not the kelp ones)

west mountain
#

And sometimes there is something inside

#

A the root pustles

floral lava
#

Yes

west mountain
#

yes, you can collect them.

floral lava
#

Can you harvest them tho?

west mountain
#

But you cannot grow them yourself

floral lava
#

Dang

west mountain
#

and they don't regrow, i think, don't know, you have to try

floral lava
#

Oof

west mountain
#

Why, what you need them for?

floral lava
#

Bio reactor

west mountain
#

Plenty of other stuff to put inside.

floral lava
#

Yeah

west mountain
#

I would go for gel sacks, they give 280 value

Did you find the ||alien thingy there|| too???

eager sapphire
west mountain
#

I played 300+ hours and just found it recently

Let me know when you found it.

#

And what you think about it

#

WTH

#

I died and I'm now inside my seamoth!!!

west mountain
#

there is no seamoth

floral lava
#

Sorry

#

Seatruck

west mountain

🙂

#

Yes, where would you have wanted to be?

floral lava
#

Not stuck inside my seatruck

#

I died and I spawned INSIDE my seatruck

#

I can't get out

west mountain
#

Oh...

#

Then do NOT save the game

floral lava
#

TOO LATE

west mountain
#

Oh!

#

what can you do then?

floral lava
#

I have no idea

#

Wait until I die again?

west mountain
#

I mean what can you do inside your truck, how are you stuck, make a picture and show

floral lava
#

Welp

west mountain
#

You can wait until you did and see what happens then

#

Or use console command to free you

#

But then no more achievements

floral lava
#

I got out :D

west mountain
#

How, why, tell

floral lava
#

Left game

#

Started it again. And TADAAA

west mountain
#

Ok, that was almost too easy then 🙂

floral lava
#

My seatruck is defying physics

west mountain
#

Oh!

#

What are you doing?

#

Well, I had my game crashed several times when entering the moon pool

#

But I have not seen that before

floral lava
#

I died

#

And somehow spawned inside my seamoth. Saved inside. Left game. Joined game. And tadaaa
