below-zero-chat

[trail tartan]

who wouldnt of wanted this

[lavish hull]

Yeah

[trail tartan]

no

[lavish hull]

Looks like a big pinnacard thing

[quick terrace]

ngl the Ice Dragon's body shape does look a bit strange to me, it looks like it should be something the size of a Squidshark or Crypstosuchus and not a leviathan

[trail tartan]

compared to cyclops

[quick terrace]

idk if it would actually have been that huge, that picture might not be to scale

cause that would be massive

[trail tartan]

i really hope they make a 3rd game, where ur stuck in a void-like area with enormous leviathans

like, an actual horror game this time

[quick terrace]

the picture is probably just for showing off the animations, I don't think the Cyclops was supposed to actually be that size compared to it
also, the reason it wasn't added was because the biome it was originally supposed to be in, called the Deep Arctic, was removed from the game so they had nowhere good to put it anymore

[trail tartan]

isnt there a ship that was in developement that was rlly big

the atlas

[quick terrace]

the Atlas, yes
there's actually a mod in development for it that's quite a ways along already

[trail tartan]

the atlas was gonna be added but they scraped it bc it wouldve beeb too big to fit anywhere

[quick terrace]

yeah

would work well in a bigger map though

same

[trail tartan]

and yeah the atlas is almost done being added, theyre done with the complete model

[wintry bone]

the atlas is not a dev thing

[quick terrace]

who knows they might re-add it in a future game

[wintry bone]

the beluga is a dev thing

[trail tartan]

ive never heard of the beluga

[quick terrace]

pretty sure the Beluga was a fanmade sub

[fast void]

That would make people stay out of the world edge

[wintry bone]

the Beluga is the official name for the Atlas
the Atlas is the unofficial name of a fanmade model of the Beluga

[trail tartan]

cap

i always make my base on void edge

i like seeing the adult ghosts

[quick terrace]

I don't think the Seatruck is bad
it works well for BZ because of the shallower biomes and more narrow areas, I quite like it actually
of course it doesn't compare to the Cyclops but for a game like BZ it makes sense

[trail tartan]

im talking abt the original subnautica rn

the new void is bad, it doesnt have that sweet glowy dark blue atmosphere

[stoic surge]

How awesome would it be if the Devs could back-port the Seatruck into the OG

[trail tartan]

oh true

[fast void]

Even in the deeper areas, there just isn't enough room for the Cyclops, so I agree.

[trail tartan]

the new ugly zombie chelicerates suck

[quick terrace]

I disagree

the void Chelicerates look super intimidating

[trail tartan]

i mean, they dont even compare to the old ghosts

[stoic surge]

I would totally build it

[wintry bone]

void chelicerates are conceptually way more interesting than just "in-map leviathan but bigger"

at least they have a unique appearance

[quick terrace]

I don't understand why people dislike BZ so much, I'll agree that there were some things about it that didn't live up to the first game, but it's not bad, just different

[trail tartan]

its worse than the first game.

the story is bad

[quick terrace]

purely subjective

I myself enjoy the story

I don't use it

[fast void]

I just miss the sonar upgrade.

[quick terrace]

you're not forced to

[trail tartan]

i think theres TOO much story, youre guided by a hand through the whole game

[quick terrace]

I thought it was too OP so I just scrapped it

[trail tartan]

exactly

i enjoy subnautica because of the scary aspect

[quick terrace]

I wouldn't exactly say that
there were definitely some things I had a hard time finding

[trail tartan]

its the game that gave most of us thalassophobia

[wintry bone]

hate to break it to you but the scariness was always a side effect and never the main focus

[trail tartan]

yeah, but its still the reason most of us like the game

imagine subnautica w/o the leviathans

in the first one?

boring, nothing dangerous exept drowning

[wintry bone]

implying the leviathans are dangerous lol

[trail tartan]

in this one? you mostly dont see any leviathans exept in crystal cave

[shadow pumice]

The whole "scariness" thing came about a lot later mostly due to player thoughts yeah

and they never really actively focused on it even after that

[trail tartan]

stop trying to act all macho you definatly crapped your pants the first time you saw a reaper

[wintry bone]

i really didn't

[quick terrace]

I don't think a lot of people realize this, but one of the main reasons people say BZ leviathans are less scary is because they've already played Subnautica and are used to leviathans being a thing
which makes new ones less scary for a lot of people apparently, it's not that they're bad or not scary, it's just that you're too used to them already so it doesn't surprise you
I'd bet that that a lot of the people who have played BZ and not the original game got scared by them

[trail tartan]

the reapers are the most scary out of all of em tbh

[shadow pumice]

Just me being the old SN boomer who remembers the olden days of emergent interactions and ecosystems and having to bring individual fragments to the analyzer before any of this newfangled spookiness

[trail tartan]

only ones with an intimidating model

[shadow pumice]

and the trident

[trail tartan]

(same)

[shadow pumice]

classic creature that was hehe 🧓

[trail tartan]

the juvenile ghost is like a big dog tbh

(rip that paragraph)

[quick terrace]

I really wish people would stop hating on BZ for "not being as good as Subnautica" I get quite tired of hearing it honestly

[primal shale]

did you know that bz is not as good as subnautica

[eternal garnet]

I watch twitch streamers play BZ. Some of them encounter the cheli and says they will never go back there. And mean it.
(Sad)

[trail tartan]

exactly, cause u dont need to go there

[quick terrace]

did you know that this is purely subjective

[trail tartan]

do you prefer bz over sn?

[quick terrace]

I like them both around the same

[primal shale]

no i did not know that, thus your statement is false

[quick terrace]

a lot of things about Subnautica I like better, but BZ also has many things that I enjoy more than in the original

[primal shale]

checkmate gamer

[fast void]

I think I'm am empath, since I am sensing a lot of hatred.

[shadow pumice]

I do think it's a lot more focused and improved in a lot of areas than SN personally. Not sure where as much dislike as there is comes from

[quick terrace]

in the words of Tony Stark, "yep I detected that too"

[trail tartan]

tbh they shouldve kept the original story, 100% wouldve been better than the original

(and yes, hatred towarss the devs for not keeping the original bz story in beta)

[quick terrace]

this is why I only got the game after it had fully released

I don't like buying games in early access/beta cause a lot is likely to change, I'd rather buy the game when it's done and know that it likely won't have any major changes made to it

[trail tartan]

true

[shadow pumice]

Even if you didn't buy it then though that old stuff would still be there

[quick terrace]

Influxus was an exception cause I got it for free

[shadow pumice]

so that shouldn't really affect your opinion on which you prefer

[wintry bone]

i buy SN games for the development and then never play them after they release lol

[quick terrace]

that seems like a bit of a waste to me

[floral lava]

What-

[primal shale]

trust it wasn't, with the story rewrites we got to play the game 3 times

very good times!

[floral lava]

Definitely a waste of money

Yes, the early developments might be interesting

But wouldn't you wanna see the final product?

[trail tartan]

the early dev story with rhe avalanche and stuff was elite

[shadow pumice]

Early access does allow you to influence said final product

[trail tartan]

where they end up killing sam in the middle of the story instead of the beginning

[shadow pumice]

being the main draw I think

[wintry bone]

yes that's why every time an SN game hits v1.0 i play through it once and then don't do it again

[floral lava]

Why-

[wintry bone]

why not

[trail tartan]

yeah thats what i call wasting money

[floral lava]

Exactly

[wintry bone]

it ain't a waste of money if you end up in the credits three times over

[shadow pumice]

Being able to directly suggest stuff or influence things might be more worth the money than getting it after the fact for some

[floral lava]

You what?!

I need to buy the new subnautica as soon as it comes out

[shadow pumice]

yeah why do you think early access exists

[floral lava]

Dunno

[shadow pumice]

there are whole features and big parts of the direction that wouldn't have happened remotely if it weren't for the community's suggestions/general input

[floral lava]

Goodness

Shouldn't we take this to #off-topic

[wintry bone]

gets a game in early access
comes up with the idea for a robotic penguin
refuses to elaborate further
dies

[floral lava]

That was you?!

[shadow pumice]

I mean it's not irrelevant or anything. It's one of the more BZ-related topics that could be talked about here I'd think

[wintry bone]

and dino
and some other people

[floral lava]

:00000

My ideas would be stupid

[primal shale]

yeah

[trail tartan]

i want a game with big leviathans

[primal shale]

have you heard of subnautica

[shadow pumice]

yeah vee, me, the user Bippity, and someone else who isn't here worked on it

[stoic surge]

Not at all, putting ideas together is how games are made

[floral lava]

WoW

[next current]

You just got a frolo and a ventgarden.

[trail tartan]

thats why i cant wait for the mod with the gargantuan leviathan to come out

[next current]

They're over 100 meters long.

[floral lava]

Try me.

Ask me for an idea I have

[trail tartan]

whats an idea you have

[stoic surge]

Your idea to join this group has been quite entertaining, hasn't it?

[floral lava]

I am thinking of a leviathan capable of ripping a seamoth apart with a chance of you escaping if you do like a button sequence

[trail tartan]

thats actually a good idea?

[floral lava]

Or a new sea (insert new sea thingy)

[trail tartan]

a new sea game (subnautica psrt 3)

i want a part two of the original, i wanna see what hapoens to riley

[floral lava]

And then I have this idea of a small fish that could potentially try to hurt you if they see you close to their eggs, maybe even with its own death sequence

[floral lava]

Yes

[floral lava]

By small I mean like maybe a the size of a gasopod or a stalker

[stoic surge]

I saw a mod that could be really cool to have in the official game, it was a battery that was made with fungal sample, and when you don't need it any more, put it the bioreactor to release its energy

[floral lava]

Awesome

What about a leviathan that cooks you alive

[stoic surge]

Ouch

[floral lava]

Or, if you have 100% health, it just damages your clothes badly

And you have to make a new suit

[stoic surge]

Oh, we don't want dive suits to have durability, we'd all end up nakked

[floral lava]

Causing you to have less protection against any damage

[floral lava]

OH-

I didn't think of that-

Also-

[floral lava]

This idea was originally from Trix, someone who was commissioned to make a new subnautica leviathan by Aci

That-

Exactly- yes-

[next current]

Why would you want that?

[stoic surge]

Guys, how about ... a Crash-leviathan!

[floral lava]

Like the crash fish?

Oh God oh oh nooooo

[stoic surge]

Yes, but huuuge

[floral lava]

I think that'd kill the cyclops

Goodness, what about

You can find blueprints of earth's clothing (LIKE HOODIES) and then you can make a customization station

@stoic surge

[stoic surge]

Different clothing items could work, I wonder if it could be in a future title

[quick terrace]

I know that the 3rd Subnautica game is a long ways off but I'm sure I'm with a lot of other people in hoping it will have a bigger map, more deep, dark biomes and a return of the horror aspect

[stoic surge]

I wonder if it would even take place on the same planet?

[floral lava]

Hmm

If the peeper isn't in the game, I'm not buying it (jkjkjkjk)

[shadow pumice]

I don't know if it'd be a "return" as much as a new addition

[stoic surge]

OK< let's do a survey - If the next title had to be on a different planet, what kind of setting could be used?

That would fit Alterra, hm?

[open zodiac]

another planet that has valuable ores so alterra can sell them

[floral lava]

I'm thinking of NOT using a new planet

I'm thinking that 4546B has accelerated tectonic plates movement

And that new land appears every few years maybe?

[stoic surge]

That could work, a new game in the crater, but after a big eruption and the landscape has changed?

[floral lava]

And it made new islands, more biomes and it forced all of the fauna and flora to evolve?

[stoic surge]

Sounds like fun

[floral lava]

But

I'd like to see more things like in BZ

Maybe

Part of the biome is the tropical (like in the first game) and the other part has this chill feeling, there's more things like in BZ

[stoic surge]

Many things are possible, and you've shown some great ideas, too

[floral lava]

I have?-

[stoic surge]

Absolutely

[floral lava]

How?-

[stoic surge]

By describing how things can change so much, as well as the feeling it imparts -- signs of a good game setting

[floral lava]

It- does?-

[stoic surge]

Yes, a game's graphics and scenery are meaningless if they don't impart some kind of mood to the player

This is why the OG was so well loved, the feeling of adventure while isolated is unforgettable

[floral lava]

I also would like to imagine that there's a 4546C

In which the architects moved to after realizing they couldn't stop the Kharaa

[stoic surge]

Maybe that's the one we see orbiting?

[floral lava]

I think that's a moon

But I could be wrong

Also

Add a popcorn plant

And a popcorn popper

I need it

[stoic surge]

Now you're trying to make me hungry

[floral lava]

Yes

I was also thinking of a mesmer like fish, but instead it attracts you to a school of said fish and then all of them feast on you-

I think that's a but too much

[stoic surge]

Like Piranhas, maybe?

[floral lava]

Yeah

[stoic surge]

Yikes

[floral lava]

But

They can also damage your equipment am(Knife, seamoth, sea glider)

[floral lava]

If there's only one

[stoic surge]

Welp, life calls, I must log out a bit, ttyl

[floral lava]

Bye!

[floral lava]

Yes

[stoic surge]

I have returned, for the moment, my computer is being stupid

[floral lava]

Oof

Ok, more ideas.

Permanent sea monkey babies CUZ they're cute

[maiden sand]

i would like to see a new pet like the cuddlefish :0

[floral lava]

Yes

Aquatic alien cat

[maiden sand]

yus

[floral lava]

Yes

[eternal garnet]

you know there is one in BZ?

[stoic surge]

The sea monkies are almost like cats, trying to grab tools and play around

[eternal garnet]

Trivalve pet

[floral lava]

Yes

[maiden sand]

ooh i didnt

[floral lava]

What about a leviathan that is really big, but because of its size it has to reserve energy and usually stays immobile until it feels something move close to it

[stoic surge]

Yeah, the Crash-leviathan!

[maiden sand]

that would be super cool but wouldnt it be super easy to avoid?

[floral lava]

No, because then it'd have tentacles

Or kinda like the reaper

[maiden sand]

ooh

[floral lava]

Wouldn't that just kill everything in a few meters radius?

[maiden sand]

i wanna see more big leviathans in general, i really love the fright of meeting them for the first time :3

[floral lava]

Yeah

Also, more mystery to the game

Like, leave a freaking abandoned base (like the degasi) that has scannable things

[maiden sand]

yupyup makes me less confident exploring new areas

[floral lava]

But the base seems too advanced to be from any trans-government

@stoic surge

[stoic surge]

Who knows, Alterra may have some tech we haven't seen in game

[eternal garnet]

This knife toasts the bread as you cut it.

[floral lava]

YES

Make it a thing

[eternal garnet]

er. The quote is from Hitchhikers Guide movie, but it's ingame too

[floral lava]

What?-

[eternal garnet]

heated blade. Cooks fish as you stab them

[lavish hull]

wait so its not one of those 1000 degrees glowing knife

[eternal garnet]

marine light saber

[floral lava]

I got my sleep module!!!

[north drum]

How come there isn’t an achievement for the trivalve like the cuddle fish in the first game?

[eternal garnet]

bit sad. depends on platform also

[floral lava]

Oof

[floral lava]

I made some good progress today

Got the sleeper module and the hook and drill for the prawn and I also got the thingy to attach the prawn suit to my seatruck

Now my seatruck is SOOO slow

[golden vine]

note to self dont free cam in the opening cutsceen it litteraly beaks everything

[floral lava]

What?-

[stoic surge]

Not something we Switch players need to worry about

[floral lava]

Ok

[golden vine]

i was trying to get a good look 4546 b and and litteraly the game broke and i couldnt do anything

[floral lava]

I mean

It's a cutscene

[golden vine]

DEVVVVVVSSS

why floating salt

[lavish hull]

I found the ||tissues||

I highley reccomend using the prawn in the artic spires. Its pretty fun and 10000% safer but it is kinda slow

[wanton moth]

Well, if you have a grappel arm it can be alot faster.

[lavish hull]

Yeah, but i dont

[wanton moth]

Then get it. X3

I say as if its that easy. lol

[lavish hull]

I got the ||trivalve eggs||

I cured the ||frozen leviathan||, got the ||trivalve eggs|| and the ||architect tissue||. Anything else i need to do in this area

Also i scanned the worm

[wanton moth]

Oh nice. I'm yet to do a complete playthrough of BZ. Not many games can hold my attention much. X3

[maiden aurora]

no no that is false

[wanton moth]

And to my knowledge that's pretty much all that you need to do in that area. I could be wrong though.

[lavish hull]

Alright

[lavish hull]

its true tho

[maiden aurora]

you grapple and you jump

and then you fly

gotta sleep bye

[lavish hull]

Nice

also i like how the prawn sits down its pretty cool

[wanton moth]

Yeah. It came in more convenient in BZ with the surface areas.

[lavish hull]

i almost forgot my prawn at the icebergs i was gonna go get the ||trivalve gold eggs|| 😢

[eternal garnet]

those are blue tho

[lavish hull]

Theres 2 kinds

the ones in the artic spires in that cave and ones in the deep lilypads

[eternal garnet]

yes. lilypads has the gold ones

[lavish hull]

Yea

I meant i was on my way to the golds and forgot to attach my prawn suit

like i left my child at the store by accident

[safe valley]

How can people at omega lab can grow radiant sieve coral but I can't?

[lavish hull]

Got the gold

[lavish hull]

idk man. Game logic

I mean when you have a game where you are infected with a deadly disease and you cure it by helping a giant creature hatch their eggs in a lava zone so you can deactivate a deadly alien gun i think people growing things you cant should be the least of your worries

i found 2 big eggs. Like really big eggs

they have 2 little points at the top and they take up 9 spaces in the inventory

well i have 3 actually

[eternal garnet]

white, dark ears? whale

[lavish hull]

no

idk

yeah it is that i think

also i found the prawn grappling arm

[lusty herald]

anyway to go inside?

[eternal garnet]

yes, always. youtube "artifact x3j" if you need

[lusty herald]

nvm

i just went through the caves

the below zero prawn suit feels so much better than the subnautica one

enderchest

[eternal garnet]

yes, it really is, but easier to pick up

[half ermine]

no silk touch required

[lavish hull]

Yeah it is really an enderchest

the fabricator is really just a crafting table. Wall lockers are normal chests and the normal lockers are double chests

also i think i have all the posters and artwork. Idk

ive been to all of these places: ||outpost zero, phi robotics lab, frozen leviathan site, omega lab, delta station, koppa mining site||

I dont think i found any posters at the omega site but i definitely found some art there

[lusty herald]

how do i use jump jet upgrade in prawn

[eternal garnet]

plop it in, jump longer

[lusty herald]

oh

[eternal garnet]

found the upgrade lid?

[lusty herald]

i have it inside

but i dont know how to use it, the jump feels the same

[eternal garnet]

it lasts longer by not dropping so fast. But it's pretty good without too

I suppose it made more difference in subnautica

[lusty herald]

hm

gel sack location?

[eternal garnet]

deep twisty, deep lilypads

[lusty herald]

hm

okay

[eternal garnet]

you can grow them. And spirals, and most plants actually

[lusty herald]

yes

what about parralel processing units?

i need it for the test ovveride module

[eternal garnet]

you only need one,. but 3 scans

oh where it is. In the three wrecks

[lusty herald]

the ship i found?

mercury something

[eternal garnet]

yes. all wrecks are mercury II. Three pieces

[lusty herald]

i just found one near the pilot last location thing

[eternal garnet]

It didn't have a nice landing. But I think it was 30-100 years ago

[trail mountain]

i made bridge!

[eternal garnet]

lolwhat. Air tubes?

[trail mountain]

yes

i can go anywhere with that

[lusty herald]

i found just one parrelel processing unit in the mercury wreck

where are the other 2

is there just 1 mercury wreck? or several?

[eternal garnet]

gotta find the other two wrecks. Two in purple vents, one in south end of lilypads

[lusty herald]

okay

[eternal garnet]

Map of this. Kinda spoilery

[umbral plank]

Neat

[golden vine]

bro im litteraly god mode rn i dont even have a sea truck yet

i got a crap ton of daimond and lithium

[tropic palm]

Why is subnautica belo zero 18+

[foggy valley]

It's not age, it shows that you need to be a creature that lives atleast 18 meters below ocean

[tropic palm]

OH

Thanks for the info man really cool

[foggy valley]

No problem

[tropic palm]

Whats the best graphic quality u can get in bz

[foggy valley]

Honestly i have no idea

[tropic palm]

same

[golden vine]

everything on high pretty sure filmic has the highest settings

[tropic palm]

where the hell can i turn off console i havent played this game fvor severaly months

[eternal garnet]

"filmic" just makes it stupidly dark

[golden vine]

WHEEZE i smaked this peeper with my seatrucks booty

[foggy valley]

poor little guy

[tropic palm]

Where can i turn off console

[golden vine]

you cant

[foggy valley]

button

[eternal garnet]

Enter. Stop enabling it with shift-enter. Shift-enter is "enable", Enter is open console.

if you want to disable, restart BZ, then don't press shift-enter.

[golden vine]

ye

idk why they changed that

[eternal garnet]

shift-enter is not "open console". That key is Enter.

[golden vine]

i guess quick tool

[ember merlin]

i do not like that name

[tropic palm]

OH i dont mean you, i mean my freidn that is an as*hole

[ember merlin]

[tropic palm]

hes also a pigeon

~peeper

[tropic palm]

subnautica add tea to the game

[eternal garnet]

how about they add: Sea

[tropic palm]

~id k maybe

~why wont they add sea to a sea game

~rick assley

ók bruh

[golden vine]

wow

i just made a connection

what if murcurey II was the first and degasi was sent to find it

[eternal garnet]

then degasi was way far away

but yes, clearly mercury has been there a long time

[tropic palm]

as you can see its rusty af

~how the hell can i get on the iceberg

~i think

[eternal garnet]

prawn with jump boost and/or grapple can get almost anywhere

[tropic palm]

i mean the icebeg where i progress

idk if this is the right way

[golden vine]

i cant find margriute

[tropic palm]

i need to get the snowfox

i cant find the entrace

[eternal garnet]

go below the beacon, then NW into tunnels with wall light plants, down

[golden vine]

im so freaking stupid bro but i did it

[coral lotus]

wait till you see the last biggest one

have fun scanning it

[golden vine]

the one in the void

ez ive scanned the ghost leviathan

[eternal garnet]

maybe that's not the one jay1 meant

[golden vine]

i like this

i built this base in a great place i put it near the murcury peices and margruites last known location

[eternal garnet]

yes, good central place

[golden vine]

and i got the materials to make a nuclear reactor and i got 4 from the ship wrecks

so i have good power sources

[ancient ferry]

how to play

im going insane

[plain igloo]

There’s no Ghost Leviathans in Below Zero. He’s talking about the big black gentle giant, the Shadow Leviathan

[light sphinx]

Where can i find ruby's?

Whats happening im going to pilot last known location and it keeps teleporting

[prime echo]

below zero stresses me out when they give me directions but not exactly where I should go ngl

[floral lava]

What?-

[floral lava]

Might be a glitch

[light sphinx]

Oh

Everytime i get there it moves to a different location

so i follow it and it loops back to the start

[coral lotus]

I talking about the shadow leviathan like Roydibaba said

[light sphinx]

It just played another voice line idk where to go im about 300m deep

yay i found the base

[floral lava]

Nice

[light sphinx]

What do i do? i have scanned everything and the snow stalker is in my way

[broken badge]

She said what you needed to do. You scan the stuff on the table, which is for the TOM, but you’ll need to find PPUs to build it
Be sure you picked up the perimeter defense

[eternal garnet]

snow stalkers are afraid of a held flare

[clear siren]

Continue on with Marge's quest line and it'll move

[eternal garnet]

oh. that snow stalker.

[broken badge]

They’re at Maida’s base

[light sphinx]

ok so i need to build the test override module right?

[clear siren]

(and use it) plus something else you'll know once you use it

[broken badge]

You can review what she told you in your pda if you don’t recall

[prime echo]

wdym what, she said to go east but not exactly where to go

took me ages to find her

[floral lava]

East

[prime echo]

forgot her name cuz i stopped playin for a bit

[light sphinx]

ok thx

[prime echo]

wow! thank you!

[weak gate]

hi

does anyone know where you can find gold?

[hexed cloak]

imagine if the cryptosucus could go on land

[open ravine]

i didnt realise my power was dropping rapidly! forgot to fill up my bioreactor..

[next current]

They're in the outcrops that look like Sandstone from the first game. You can usually find plenty of them in the Thermal Spires and Arctic Kelp Caves.

[open ravine]

my salad factory! (with a couple other plants too :D)

[floral lava]

Looks amazing

[open ravine]

ty!

[floral lava]

I'm a big fan of the new rooms

[open ravine]

i am too omg

they are quite amazing

i got like 2 lockers of salad rn, never needing food again!

[floral lava]

Niceee

I have this theory on ||how sector zero survived the Kharaa||

[open ravine]

mhm?

[floral lava]

Basically

[open ravine]

also bro ill brb i need food irl lol

[floral lava]

||Enzyme 42 just chilled until it got to sector zero cuz of sea currents||

[floral lava]

Cya in a bit

[open ravine]

keep writing ill read

[floral lava]

||But because of the size of the frozen leviathan, there probably wasn't enough enzyme 42 for the leviathan||

||So, basically, the enzyme 42 left over by the sea emperors on the first game, traveled through sea currents||

[thorny field]

or sector zero is just so cold

man ||navigating crystal caves|| is so annoying and difficult

especially when i have 650 crush depth

finally

[floral lava]

Yeah but

If sector zero is so cold

How did the ||frozen leviathan get it?||

[open ravine]

very interesting @floral lava

[floral lava]

Thanks

[thorny field]

mayby it is like the garganutan leviathan it is extinct if thats what you mean

[floral lava]

I just think it'd make sense cuz nature

[thorny field]

but i didn't though how it got infected

[floral lava]

If the Kharaa was immune to the cold

Then how did the frozen leviathan get it?

[thorny field]

wdym "get in"?

you mean how it got infected with the bacteria or how it got into sector zero?

[floral lava]

How it got infected

[thorny field]

idk i didnt though of that

im kinda dumb when talking about kharaa (i dont know if it evolved on 4546b or it got brought in by architects)

[floral lava]

It was already in 4546B

[thorny field]

ok then mayby the virus just spread across the entire planet?

[floral lava]

Yeah

[thorny field]

ig got infected before ryley cured it

and cuz it is frozen it just didnt got the|| enzyme 42||

[light sphinx]

How do i get pararell processing unit

[thorny field]

scan it in mercury II wrecks(you will need a laser cutter)

you have to scan 3 of them

[light sphinx]

Where are the mercury II wrecks?

[thorny field]

😮‍💨 in lillypad islands and purple vents

[light sphinx]

ok

thx

[thorny field]

no offense but just use the wiki

[open ravine]

or explore

[thorny field]

yeah

i dicovered that mercury 2 exists the hard way

like most of the things in both games ...

[light sphinx]

This one?

[open ravine]

yar

[thorny field]

yes there is around 2 fragments per wreck

mmm copper

[floral lava]

Copper

[thorny field]

lol i have only eaten 3 fishes in this entire playthrough

[open ravine]

i am crying again

i require flowering spores.

[thorny field]

flowering spores?

i can farm them?

or i misunderstanded you?

[light sphinx]

What is this massive whale near the wreck

[thorny field]

glowwhael

glow whale*

[light sphinx]

Ok

[thorny field]

it wont kill you you can ever ride it

even*

[light sphinx]

That another one?

Does the Seatruck aquarium module collect the fish from the outside?

What is World Edge?

[safe valley]

Hey guys should I make ion battery/powercell? And what should I do with the leftover normal batteries/powercells?

[thorny field]

end of the map (same as crater's edge if you played the first subnautica game) after a while ghost chelirates will spawn and chase you

[thorny field]

yes

i think so at least i never used it

[light sphinx]

whats this?

Am i goona die?

[thorny field]

mayby if you wont use perimeter defense system

[light sphinx]

ok

thanks

That did so much damage

Where did it come from?

[stoic surge]

Yes, it vacuums up nearby small fishies so you can feed Robin and her bioreactors, too

[light sphinx]

I have the test override module what do i do with it?

[light sphinx]

thanks

[stoic surge]

Take it to the big radar thing at delta station

[light sphinx]

The place where i met the prawn suit lady for the first time? (forgot her name)

[stoic surge]

yep

[light sphinx]

alright

Where do i go with it im on the island

?

[molten silo]

to the radar

[light sphinx]

How do i get up there?

[molten silo]

not sure will check

[light sphinx]

ok

[molten silo]

climb through the peak

through caves and justplatforming

[light sphinx]

ok

[floral lava]

Where do I get ||ion cubes?||

[stoic surge]

How many are you needing?

[floral lava]

A lot

For batteries

[stoic surge]

There's a cave in the arctic spires that has 3 drillable piles of them

[tawdry dove]

yup

[light sphinx]

Ok i stopped the radar where do i go she said east do i go back to her base or what?

[floral lava]

Arctic spires?

[tawdry dove]

and it also has a single ion cube by itself

arctic spires is across the deactivated bridge on the west edge of the map

[stoic surge]

On an iceberg about 1100 meters east of delta station

[light sphinx]

Thx

That?

[floral lava]

@stoic surge does the horsepower module for the sea truck stack up?

[stoic surge]

Not sure, I don't think I ever built one

[floral lava]

Nvm

It doesn't, you can only put one module of each

[tawdry dove]

yeah

most modules are like that

[stoic surge]

If you go searching at night, you might see some light sticks on the shore of her berg

[floral lava]

@stoic surge where's the arctic spires?

[next current]

Have you been to the Glacial Bay?

[floral lava]

Uuuhhh

Where's that?

[next current]

North of Phi Robotics.

It's the area with a bridge.

[floral lava]

Ah

Ye

[next current]

The Arctic Spires is across the bridge.

[floral lava]

Ok

[next current]

Have you been across the bridge?

[floral lava]

So north of the bridge?

[next current]

Yup.

[floral lava]

Alright soooo

Goodness, like, directly north or northeast or northwest?

[next current]

Northeast.

[floral lava]

Here?

[next current]

Are you in front of Phi Robotics?

If so, head north through a cave.

[safe valley]

Uh my question was unanswered so sorry for asking again

Hey guys should I make ion battery/powercell? And what should I do with the leftover normal batteries/powercells?

[next current]

Yeah, you should make Ion Tech for the long run. You can kinda just tuck the batteries away in the locker if you want.

[safe valley]

Will zapping leviathans while they are doing the eating animations make them disappear? I zapped a cheli and it's nowhere to be seen

Also I watched a video where they zap a shadow and it disappears too

[floral lava]

They usually don't disappear

Might be a bug

@next current Hey, I haven't found the ion cube thingies

[next current]

Keep going deeper into the Arctic Spires.

[thorny field]

who needs a snowfox lol

[floral lava]

Exactly

[next current]

Kinda go west-ish.

[floral lava]

Northwest

And then?

[safe valley]

Well if I zap them while they haven't touched my seatruck yet they will still be there. But if they are doing the swallowing animations then they will disappear

[floral lava]

Huh-

[safe valley]

How about we test it? Let it do the animation then zap it

I will try it now lol

[next current]

Follow the cabling. A good way to know you've found it is by looking for the lone Spy Pengling Site that is nearby the cave entrance.

[floral lava]

I give up

[thorny field]

man now that i have found ||all pda's in frozen leviathan cave especially with sam's death i am kinda spooked out||

[next current]

If you want, you can. Refer to this map... it's a little inaccurate but the way to the Ion cube cache is correct.

(Purple Tablet not required) again... a little inaccurate.

[thorny field]

||but i still dong get how she died. in last pda seconds before her death there is a sound of breaking ice but why it happend? what caused that ice to break?||

but i have the necklace and a reaper painting

[next current]

||Ice from the ceiling fell and crushed both Sam and Paravan to death.||

[thorny field]

||yes but what it has to do with pda in maida's greenhouse? it cointains sam and maida discussing thier plan||

[next current]

||Marguerit and Sam became friends. Marguerit gave Sam explosives. The explosion is set off and the falls and kills Sam and Paravan.||

[thorny field]

oho

[next current]

||Marguerit went to go deal with the Omega Lab, hence its damage.||

[light sphinx]

I have been there not too long ago, I am trying to figure out how to get the antidote

Seing as the game literaly wants you to find the spy penglings i am guessing i need to use it

[safe valley]

Well after testing it seems to be a bug

[next current]

Yeah, you have to use it to get the antidote.

[safe valley]

I tried 6 times and the cheli only disappeared once. So we can safely say it's a bug

[thorny field]

what?

[tawny crescent]

Rip cheli

[light sphinx]

Is Marguerit's greenhouse on land?

[tawny crescent]

Yes

[light sphinx]

Im at the biome east iceberg zone am i at the right place?

[next current]

You could say that, yeah.

[light sphinx]

pda said something about a moulin iceberg am i at the right place?

[next current]

Different ice berg, but yeah... You're in the right area.

[floral lava]

I got the ion deposits

[light sphinx]

Ok

[thorny field]

omg paintings and bed that are in ||parvan's office are amazing||

[light sphinx]

So where is the correct iceberg?

[safe valley]

Hey guys I'm at ||the bridge that needs to be repaired. Where to Phi center||?

[safe valley]

The one with bones on it. Pretty easy to spot

[thorny field]

i think you can see its radiobeacon now

[light sphinx]

alr

[bitter elk]

I I've been there a couple times to grab the posters

[thorny field]

yes i meant posters and the bed it cool too

[safe valley]

Not yet. I see no beacon as of now. I'm considering bringing my own beacon

[floral lava]

Who that?-

[thorny field]

||phi robotics|| beacon will be shown automaticly when you get close engouth

[bitter elk]

@thorny field yeah I have the bed and everything at my leviathan observatory

[thorny field]

what?

[safe valley]

Alright. ||From the bridge, which direction should I go||

[thorny field]

leviathan obeservatory ?

[thorny field]

just wander around

i think there wil be a canyon or some boxes

[bitter elk]

Yeah I have a base in the crystal cave next to the leviathan it's sorta cool

[thorny field]

good idea

[safe valley]

You can scan for leviathan right

With scanner room I meant

[thorny field]

it is big enotuh that you dont need a scanner room

[bitter elk]

Yeah I thinks so

[light sphinx]

It said something about aliens and where a call was coming from am i at the right iceberg?

[safe valley]

Yeah but having radar is better. Also my PC is at minimum requirements so it takes a bit of time to render the leviathan, and sometimes it's too late to avoid

[upper void]

have a picture of 2 boomerang fishes in my big room storage place

[thorny field]

just look for a building on an ice bergs or just USE THE WIKI

if you are still talkign about ||maida's greenhouse||

[light sphinx]

ok

[thorny field]

oh and that ice berg should have some lamps on sticks near water

[safe valley]

It's called lightsticks lol

[next current]

Nice! Sorry if I was a bit confusing.

[thorny field]

oh sorry english isn't my native language

[safe valley]

It's not mine either. I'm just pointing out the official name of the thing lol

[thorny field]

ok

[next current]

Two pats for the both of you.

[thorny field]

uh?

well a pat for me is needed as it is very rare of me not to argue with someone over a small thing like this

[lusty herald]

snexpansion 😱 😳 #below-zero-info

[thorny field]

lol?

they announced that they are looking for people to make "subnautica 3"(not an offial name i just came up with it)

and what is snexpansion?

[floral lava]

OMG ||AL-AN||

[thorny field]

what

[lusty herald]

snexpansion is snexpansion

[thorny field]

what

[wintry bone]

it's the name they used in the checkins URL before BZ had a name and before BZ wasn't an expansion anymore

[thorny field]

ok

[marble dune]

Guys please can someone help? I stopped playing the game a few months ago when I built the ||architect skeleton|| Could someone tell me where to go or what to do now? I'm so lost rn

[sterile shadow]

Out of all of the ||body parts that AL-AN wants you to get, do you only have the architect skeleton||?

[marble dune]

yes

I built it already but it's the only recipe i've found

[sterile shadow]

||The Architect Tissues are in the Arctic Spires.|| It's a land biome that's southwest on the map.

[marble dune]

ok thanks a lot dude

And also the crypto server spammer please stop

[lavish hull]

so uhh update

i have the prawn depth upgrade, fab module, materials needed for the ||architect parts except the organs||, seatruck depth module 2, ||trivalve blue and gold eggs||, and a pretty good base

Should i go get the ||organs||?

Alright

anybody know how deep they are

[sterile shadow]

About 830m deep

[lavish hull]

hmm

how deep is the actual place to build them

[sterile shadow]

Around 950m deep

[lavish hull]

so

should i get the depth upgrade mk3 for the seatruck

[sterile shadow]

Definitely 👍

[lavish hull]

Damn

Gotta go to the caves there immediately then

[north maple]

is hardkore hard

[peak turtle]

so guys i just downlloaded BZ and im typing this message while not looking at chat so no big spoilers

[north maple]

fish die in the end

[floral lava]

I ummm

I finished below zero

[lavish hull]

Nice

[sterile shadow]

Congrats Akari

[floral lava]

I was expecting more

I was thinking of some post game

[sterile shadow]

Yeah, it's a bit short. Still good tho

[lavish hull]

well one of the best games of the 2010's, botw, didnt have a post game

[floral lava]

Yeah

True

Maybe I rushed through the story and that's why it wasn't satisfying

[mental nacelle]

Guys

I bought subanautica below zero recently and I don't know where to find silver

[sterile shadow]

I guess you could consider the "post-game" content as the optional things that you didn't complete beforehand

[sterile shadow]

Are you talking about Subnautica 1 or Below Zero?

[floral lava]

YOO

Production babies?!

[mental nacelle]

Below zero

[sterile shadow]

You can find Silver Ore in these things:

[mental nacelle]

Ok thank you

[safe valley]

Hey guys I found ||Phi center but can't seem to find Phi excavation site. There are many ladders but they don't seem to lead to anywhere||

[lavish hull]

also heres a tip: go to options in the pause menu, go to accessibility, and click highlight interactable

itll make it so you wont get confused on if you saw a thing or not

[violet radish]

hello

[lavish hull]

theres a scannable map in there of the glacial basin

[violet radish]

how do i download a below zero mod...

[mental nacelle]

If you play on console I don't think you can get mods

[violet radish]

im on laptop

[mental nacelle]

Well I think from google

[west mountain]

You have to climb the ladder that is ||above phi robotics|| and then ||go down the next ladder (in fact three ladders ) you come accross||. Then you are ||in an ice cave, you follow the cave until you reach water. There is an underwater tunnel||.

[violet radish]

but how do i import it into the came

[sterile shadow]

1. Find a mod on this website:
   https://www.nexusmods.com/subnauticabelowzero
2. Follow the instructions on the mod's webpage to install it

[violet radish]

alright thanks

[safe valley]

Oh I thought water would lead me back to the ocean, so I turn around. Thanks

[hollow stone]

Quick rando question. I just started the game and its causing my obs to loose fps. Is it because I'm running the game at 144hz?

[floral lava]

I feel so

Un accomplished

[next current]

Production Babies are babies born during the making of the game.

[thorny field]

what i can do to protect my prawn ||against shadow leviathan?||

[west mountain]

Use the seatruck 🙂

[next current]

Dock it on the Seatruck Docking Module.

[thorny field]

yes but my prawn has max depth module and my seatruck doesn't

[west mountain]

Get it!

[next current]

When the next big patch for Below Zero comes, you won't have to worry about it.

[thorny field]

really?

[next current]

They will ignore unpiloted prawns.

[thorny field]

oh nice

but still its hard to pilot a prawn without it

[floral lava]

Goodness

I liked below zero

But everything felt too quick?

[hasty pecan]

Banana

[sterile shadow]

did you complete all 3 storylines?

[floral lava]

What-

I completed ||Al-an|| but

[willow plank]

But what

[floral lava]

I dunno

I don't even know if I completed ||Alan's||

[fierce moat]

Who has a sea truck

[thorny field]

so i have finished bz almost 3 times and my total playtime is according to steam 78,8 hours

[sterile shadow]

Well if you beat the game then you did ||AL-AN's storyline||

But how about ||Marguerit and Sam's||?

[next current]

Pretty much everyone. It's that good.

[floral lava]

There's more endings?!

[floral lava]

Not Sam's

[next current]

No.

[floral lava]

Not Marguerite either

[sterile shadow]

Only 1 ending, but there are other storylines to complete

[floral lava]

Omg

Subnautica with multiple endings

[next current]

The ending dialogue has a very miniscule change if you complete Sam's quest before beating the game.

[thorny field]

2 or 3 storylines to be precise

[floral lava]

Which is?

[next current]

It's something Robin says about her accepting what happened to Sam.

[floral lava]

Ah

Goodness

[next current]

So no, there are no alternate endings.

[floral lava]

Sad

[next current]

It is what it is.

[floral lava]

True

[next current]

Btw, congratulations on beating the game.

[floral lava]

Thanks

[west mountain]

Well technically there are two possible endings either || you leave the planet or not||

[floral lava]

Tho I think I rushed it

[spice seal]

That's not really a storyline, just a part of Sam's

[next current]

I consider it a different storyline.

[floral lava]

I'm excited for the new subnautica

[next current]

But that's just me.

[next current]

Don't worry, you'll only have to wait for another 5-6 years.

[floral lava]

Too much time

[next current]

So not too long.

[floral lava]

The difficulty curve was... eh

[next current]

SN games need to be more challenging.

[floral lava]

First one had a great difficulty curve

[thorny field]

yeah bz is great but it is a little to easy accordign to game save time i finished my first playthrough in like 15 hours or so

[nocturne magnet]

How you start the rocket that will help you escape in BZ?

[safe valley]

Yeah I would say the first game is more of a survival horror game while bz is more of a story-telling, adventure rpg

[next current]

Wut?

[tawdry dove]

there is no rocket in BZ

[nocturne magnet]

nono i mean

[next current]

Well I mean yes and no.

[nocturne magnet]

idk what the thing that helps you escape is called

[tawdry dove]

there's a functional rocket (end-game escape route) in BZ

and I guess there is a ||literal one too||

[tawdry dove]

go to the twisty bridges and look around, you'll eventually start getting dialogue as you explore more

[nocturne magnet]

ok

[next current]

I wouldn't really call it a rocket.

[spice seal]

what

[tawdry dove]

||the one AL-AN builds but it's not really a rocket, idk||

[next current]

She means the ||Starship thingy you and Al-An use to get to his homeworld|| I think.

[spice seal]

ah

[safe valley]

Does the snowfox hoverpad have to be built on land? I can't seem to be able to build it underwater

[ancient shoal]

Well, it is a land vehicle

[safe valley]

Well silly me. Time to build a land base then

[west mountain]

No base needed

It is self powered

[safe valley]

Any suggestions for a good location to set up a land base?

[west mountain]

Frost acacia is beautiful

Also arctic spires

[safe valley]

Well I will just build a base to store stuffs and fabricate

[west mountain]

Then at the dock

No phi dock

[safe valley]

Glacial bay dock?

[north maple]

just build it underwater

[west mountain]

I have one at phi dock, glacial basin, acatia and spires

No on land

[safe valley]

Well I will build it near the bridge then. Easier to travel between glacial bay and arctic spires

[west mountain]

Yes that is how i started too

And then expanded my empire

[safe valley]

There is no hull integrity on land right

[west mountain]

No

But somehow i still get the warning. Must be a glitch

Every time i close an inside hatch it tells me that hull integrity has been restored

[safe valley]

I'm thinking about stacking a 3-story large room with alien containment as elevator lol

[west mountain]

Go ahead

You know you can not only stack alien tanks but interlock them

With 3 story you can make an X shaped tank

Or any pattern you like

[safe valley]

That's a bit too wild for my taste lol

[west mountain]

I have 5 big tanks interlocked in an X shape

Amazing

[marble dune]

Has someone here encountered an invisible wall right besides the ||architect gate at the game||?

i'm inside a block of ice

I think I went the wrong way

[safe valley]

Is the cold suit really needed? Up to now I can handle the cold just fine

[west mountain]

I makes things more relaxef

[willow plank]

not that necessary

you can heat yourself up in the prawn or the snowfox

[west mountain]

With snowfox its ok you have a heated seat

But its-fun to build

[stoic surge]

It just gives you a bit more time to get back on/into your vehicle or a warm spot

[west mountain]

I would not miss it

[willow plank]

it's easy to get so why not

[tawdry dove]

I have never made the cold suit in any of my three runs of the game

or the prawn or snowfox for that matter

the peppers and caves are enough for me, though I definitely wouldn't recommend that

I would build at least a snowfox

[willow plank]

the prawn is convenient since you can just ignore the ice worm

[stoic surge]

Dude, my Switch version just closed for error on the loading screen

[willow plank]

and the seatruck is good for killing leviathans

[west mountain]

You can ignore the ice worm regardless your mean of transport. Just repair and continue

[willow plank]

but it knocks you off the snowfox

so it's more of an annoyance

[west mountain]

You have to get out the prawn for repair too

It does not make a huge difference

And snowfox is fun

But i use both too

For mining resources the prawn

And for zapping around the snowfox

But going on foot is probabely the easiest way

[mental nacelle]

Where do I find Seatruck fragments?

[willow plank]

also the prawn easily kills the snowstalkers by drilling

[west mountain]

No need tokill

[mental nacelle]

I only found one in biome where Alan is

[west mountain]

There are all over the place

[willow plank]

||purple vents, twisty bridges, and the aliigator biome near the island||

[mental nacelle]

Ok thank you

[willow plank]

why

[west mountain]

You have mobile vehicle bay

[west mountain]

The ice worm takes care of them

[willow plank]

but you can do it faster

[west mountain]

Again no need but please go ahaed

[willow plank]

and it's easy

[next current]

Agreed.

[willow plank]

what about leviathans?

[mental nacelle]

Is this biome dangerous? I hear a lot of roars

Just found out

[willow plank]

nah, there is just a squidshark

[west mountain]

Did you scan it

[mental nacelle]

Yup

[west mountain]

Top

[willow plank]

scanned what

[west mountain]

The squidshark

[spice seal]

has diamonds

[west mountain]

And two important scans

[willow plank]

it's easy to scan. simply run into it with the seatruck until it stops moving and done

[west mountain]

Its only the seaglide yet

So you have to do it alive

[willow plank]

too bad they removed the stasis rifle

[mental nacelle]

I died

I ran out of air

Is there like a rebreather in this game?

[willow plank]

yes

in the twisty bridges

there is a blueprint

for it

[mental nacelle]

Ok

[willow plank]

to find it easier press f3, tab, and select "water volume"

now you can see everything

[mental nacelle]

Well i'm on Playstation

[willow plank]

too bad

[west mountain]

And larger o2 tanks. You know you can craft more than one o2 tank

[next current]

It's at the I compartment tech site in the Twisty Bridges. 130 meters below the surface. You can also get a few bottles of water there.

Nvrmnd

[peak turtle]

why did table coral become so rare?

just finished subnautica and there was so much in spawn area

now in BZ there is like none

[mental nacelle]

I know

[stoic surge]

There's alot, it's just deeper ... your scanner room will find it in twisty bridges and lilypad area

[peak turtle]

thing is

i need table coral to build scanner

[stoic surge]

You know that spot where there's a shark cage looking platform with a sparking cable? There's some directly below it

[peak turtle]

i got no clue where that is

[mental nacelle]

It's like a platform out of water

[stoic surge]

south by southeast from your drop pod

Look for the sparking cable

[peak turtle]

i dont have compass yet

ok how far from drop pod?

i got compass now

[mental nacelle]

Let's go

I found all the seatruck fragments

[peak turtle]

i see it

what did they do to the PDA

she sounds

wierd

i dont like it, i want old PDA back

[icy coyote]

Same

[peak turtle]

I have to craft cameras? wtf

[stoic surge]

I wouldn't make any if I were you, their short range is not very useful

The HUD chip is much better

[peak turtle]

yeah i wont but how far into the game do i get magnetite

like i need it for HUD Chip

cant live without it

[stoic surge]

You can get it from the beginning, if you'd like a hint?

[peak turtle]

uhm

sure.....

[stoic surge]

Look in a ore vein just behind the building in ||Phi robotics|| cave

[peak turtle]

where is Phi Robotics

ive heard about it in game but idk where it is

[sterile shadow]

Southwest in a land biome

[stoic surge]

It's the green mark on the facility map

[peak turtle]

hm

do i need special suit for cold?

[stoic surge]

Nah, going into caves and eating the peppers there will keep ya warm

[peak turtle]

peppers or peepers?

[sterile shadow]

Getting the Cold Suit does help but it's not necessary

[stoic surge]

(plant a pepper in your base)

[sterile shadow]

https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Fevered_Pepper

[peak turtle]

what direction from drop pod?

[stoic surge]

Look at your facility map

[floral lava]

For a moment I thought it was fevered peeper

[peak turtle]

which one is drop pod on map?

[sterile shadow]

There are different Drop Pod spawns, so the directions will be somewhat different for different people. Could you tell me your coordinates? I'll be able to tell you which direction to go.

[peak turtle]

like symbol

uhm yeah hold up

-286, 37

[peak turtle]

so like SW-S?
