below-zero-chat

[west mountain]

I was thinking that too, but I honestly don't know for sure

Thats why I prefer "renewable" energy sources 🙂

[plain igloo]

They shouldn't i believe

[plain igloo]

Same, bioreactor all the way for me

Oculus in Subnautica

But idk what's the best in Below Zero

[west mountain]

For my big base far away from heat source, I have the nuclear reactor

Infinite amount of energy, low maintenance

But for remote bases, that I only visite occasionally, bioreactor is the easiest one.

And cheap

[plain igloo]

True, but once the crystals run out

Uraninite isn't renewable

It's long lasting but not efficient for very very long

[west mountain]

I have 360 nuclear rods. Thats enough for the end of my life

[plain igloo]

Well nvm then

🤣

[west mountain]

The problem is not the uranite, its lead.

[plain igloo]

Really? Wow

[west mountain]

You cannot refil the empty rods, thats a shame

Every rod is pure waste

[plain igloo]

Yeah, you gotta craft them over and over again then when they're empty throw them away

[west mountain]

Yes, I tried to recycle them, but its not allowed

[plain igloo]

Did they add that you get radiation damage when you try repower your nuclear reactor without the suit?

[west mountain]

There is no radioactivity in BZ

You you can pick them up with your bare hands

[plain igloo]

Oh nvm

Despite the Data Bank Entry saying that one should not replace the Reactor Rods without a Radiation Suit, there is no radiation risk associated with a Nuclear Reactor.

[west mountain]

There is no radiation suite in BZ

So no radioactivity

[plain igloo]

Forgot about that lol

Makes sense since there's no use to it

[west mountain]

But I made up my own standards

[plain igloo]

Oh that's cool

Someone who's gonna use the base in the future will thank you hahahaha

[west mountain]

🙂

What would be cool is if the bio reactor would self-power itself by a nearby plant source.

E.g. if you put a growbed or pot next to a bio reactor, it would automatically consume the fruits

and refills itself.

[plain igloo]

yeah that would be dope

[west mountain]

Btw, you can make infinite amount of gloves in BZ with the reinforced dive suit. You can recycle the suit without gloves and it gives you back the material for suit and gloves. So very handy for my maintanance procedure, where you are supposed to dispose the gloves too 🙂

[plain igloo]

Lol hahaha, kinda funny

[west mountain]

Same way you can make infite amount of batteries, thats more useful

with the repair tool

[plain igloo]

Costs a lot of stuff tho

Cuz how can you recycle the gear?

And turn it into ingredients?

[west mountain]

with the ||recyclotron|| 🙂

[plain igloo]

Ah, didn't know!

[west mountain]

Its an achievment

[plain igloo]

That's cool

Is it a machine?

[west mountain]

by scanning alien artefacts

The best in BZ

[plain igloo]

Ah, so ||AL-AN|| helps with that, gotchu

Pretty cool

[west mountain]

Very very useful for storage

Guess what that is

[plain igloo]

Lol it even says it on the websites

Altho it feels like cheating, even the devs embrace it lol

[west mountain]

When you are gathering lots of resource and you have the fabricator in your seatruck, you can compact the stuff and save space

and later when you need it, you recycle it

5x Titanium = 1 Ingot + 2 lithion = 1 Plasteel ingot

7 items in one place

2 copper + 2 silver = 1 compass

[plain igloo]

Yeah makes sense

That's really cool

[west mountain]

How far in the game are you?

[plain igloo]

Have gotten to the 1st 2 fragments but i've seen most of the story already

Trying to re-do Subnautica, then when that's completed hopping back on to Below Zero

[west mountain]

Excellent, have fun!

[kind obsidian]

Just got depth 1 on my prawn , Where should I go with my newfound power?

[west mountain]

What have you not explored yet?

Any beacons you have not get to yet?

Any alterra facilities not yet visited

Have you done everything Maida told you to do?

[kind obsidian]

I've done the maida stuff, I've only explored koppa and delta, And for beacons I just have Artifact Z13

[west mountain]

Have you gone back to Maidas base after visiting her in her ||greenhouse||

[kind obsidian]

Yeah, I did that

[west mountain]

What alien beacons did you get, only Z13???

[kind obsidian]

Z13 is the only beacon that I havnt gone to yet, I think

[west mountain]

Ok, so you already visited the ||alien body cache||???

[kind obsidian]

Yeah

[west mountain]

Ok, so you got 1 alien body part, correct

[kind obsidian]

Yup

[west mountain]

So if you look at alterra facilities map, where would you like to go next?

[kind obsidian]

||Phi Robotics|| Because I think there's story things there

[west mountain]

Excellent choice, off you go. But you should also visit Omega and Zero at one point in time.

[kind obsidian]

Omega sounds important, So I'm doing it last

[west mountain]

Yes and no, I would do it, once you are back in the area anyhow. But Phi sounds like a plan.

Have you got the preson fruit and fevered peppers from the Greenhouse

[kind obsidian]

Alright, I need to remember how this game woks again, I had taken a break from Subnautica to beat Danganronpa, And yeah, I have the salad

[west mountain]

Excellent, then have fun!!!

[kind obsidian]

So, I go west from delta, Right?

[west mountain]

You see that bay a bit to the north of phi

Where the sea turns into a fiord.

[kind obsidian]

No, I don't see it

[west mountain]

Norh east of the phi symbol, are some yellowish dots on the map on the coast

so go west-north/west W-NW from delta dock

Lol

[wheat mantle]

Hi

[umbral sparrow]

so I never played below zero, only the first game. Any beginner tips?

I did finish it, though..

[eternal garnet]

Save often. Explore everything. This game is about exploration. Monkeys may annoy you a lot; just hide your tool (PC: press E). Bring a beacon everywhere. Pin recipes you plan to make. Have fun.

[umbral sparrow]

I remember one of the ghosts in lost river annoyed me so much I went through the trouble of killing one lol

[eternal garnet]

the perimeter defense is 100% protection, if you fire it just at start of an attack. Very recommended

[umbral sparrow]

I remember people complaining about the icebergs being stupid and them getting 1shotted by a big worm..

[eternal garnet]

worm? what worm. Anyway it does not 1-shot you. If there is a huge worm at all, I mean

[umbral sparrow]

ice worm, I think

[eternal garnet]

propaganda from evil penglings

[potent phoenix]

Not the evil penglings

[west mountain]

Ice worms are cute. I like it how they dig a tunnel under you and tickle your feet 🙂

[umbral sparrow]

I personally prefer reapers

lil' fellas just wanted to hug ❤️

[eternal garnet]

alleged ice worms.

[umbral sparrow]

hmm.. can you still have a garden?

[eternal garnet]

yes, inside or outside

[umbral sparrow]

I remember I had a dedicated section of my base with sea creatures&plants

#KooshBallsForTheWin 😎

[next current]

Wut.

[fresh maple]

such a boring server why is slowmode enabled for every channel? I just wanna talk about the deep oceans peacefully 😭

[deep kettle]

It’s only a few seconds, should still give plenty of opportunity to talk about whatever 🙂

[broken badge]

Seriously 5 seconds isn’t long, and prevents a lot of spamming

[proper trail]

Yep

[safe swift]

hey what game have better graphics on pc saubnautica or bellow zero

[eternal garnet]

Below Zero.

[tardy surge]

Below Zero because it is newer

[jovial steppe]

I think I found a bug, is there a bug report chat?

Also my seatruck is at 100% health and it keeps blowing up for no reason. Even the tiniest nudge blows the whole thing up. And when I shocked a squid shark it died instantly. I think the game thinks im using debug commands but I used them in an entirely seperate world. Does that mean all of my achievements are disabled even though I havent used cheats in this world?

[eternal garnet]

no. The cheat flag is saved into one savegame

Weird. Game version? it might be in the corner, or in options /troubleshoot

[jovial steppe]

Most recent game version.

Im playing it now.

I had to exit and reload the entire game to fix it.

If the game thought I had instagib on, does that mean all achievements are disabled even though I was only using cheats on a separate world?

[eternal garnet]

I want the number. You should not be on steam Experimental

re: cheats: no

[jovial steppe]

Im not on experimental.

Im on a playable version.

[eternal garnet]

number

[jovial steppe]

Aug-2021 45391

[eternal garnet]

ok, good version. I don't know what's wrong

[jovial steppe]

The game thought I was using debug when I wasnt

[eternal garnet]

To set the cheat flag (which you don't want) you enter any command in the command box and then save

[jovial steppe]

If achievements are disabled, then months of progress wouldve been for nothing.

so I saved but I didnt know what the bug was yet

If I saved and the game thought I was debugging, does that mean my save file is ruined?

I really hope that is not the case, but it might be.

[eternal garnet]

unlikely

[jovial steppe]

Ok, good.

[eternal garnet]

You can always test a new save, and cheat in there (spawn truck for example)

[jovial steppe]

yeah. but will it drag that cheat bug over?

[eternal garnet]

in creative, there's no damage. so not good for testing

no it will not.

[jovial steppe]

However, the instagib is good for testing, cuz that was the error I encountered.

I used instagib in a creative world, and the game thought that I had that cheat enabled in my legit playthrough

[eternal garnet]

That might be a bug. And it might reset by restarting BZ

[jovial steppe]

So nothin too serious, right?

wait, restarting?

[eternal garnet]

You didn't enter a command, so I don't think it set the cheat flag

yes, restart entire BZ

[jovial steppe]

If I didnt enter a command on this save file then Im good, right?

[eternal garnet]

yes, should be

[jovial steppe]

ok! good! thanks!

Also I found the original avalanche base. I didnt think it was still in the game or accessable.

Theres dialogue and everything.

[eternal garnet]

it's not in the story (much), but has goodies and story PDAs

[jovial steppe]

well... minor story things, but yeah

found an ||ion cube||

oh! almost forgot, when the glitch was occuring, something funny happened.

when I was going to the ||bridge ||to see what I needed to activate it, I decided to jump off a small, three foot ledge to get in my seatruck quicker. The three foot fall was what killed me.

i just went back to my game and there was baby penguins in my seatruck aquarium.

[carmine bobcat]

guys I fixed maragrita's sattelatie and went to her greenhouse, can I go back to her other base or will the snowstalker still be there blocking the pathway

[eternal garnet]

the aquarium picks up nearby creatures

[eternal garnet]

yes you can, it should be gone now

[spice seal]

you can go back

[carmine bobcat]

alright, I found it by accident, no clue how im gonna get back there

[eternal garnet]

remember it's illegal to drop beacons in interesting places

directions: go to the pilot beacon, then below it, and NW into a tunnel, down

[carmine bobcat]

huh is it

[eternal garnet]

no, it's sarcasm. Always bring beacon(s)

[carmine bobcat]

I keep forgetting to use thm

[eternal garnet]

another reason: if you die with a beacon on you, the beacon renames and drops.

[jovial steppe]

Im in the ||ice spires|| biome...

[west mountain]

Excellent, have fun

[feral sierra]

yo

you only need 5 titanium to make a titanium ingot...

this game is the best!!!!!

Ima go back on playing

[jovial steppe]

I had to run away from the literal embodiment of fear, while trying to get resources..... And I couldve taken another path that was a lot easier. I wasted so much time when I couldve gone up a ramp I didnt see at the beginning. Successful trip though.

I hate when that happens, where theres another path thats far easier to take, but I don't see it until after I've gone through hell and back. I feel like a fool when that happens.

[broken badge]

Oh well, when I first played BZ I tried like a half dozen times to jump the ramp with the snowfox (not realizing you have to fix it)😛

[jovial steppe]

🤣

[feral sierra]

yo

do I have to find some kind of disk for the jukebox?

[broken badge]

There’s several actually, scattered about

They’re kinda small but they do glow a bit

[feral sierra]

ah

thanks

[broken badge]

Np

[feral sierra]

I rmember that the song "diving in too deep" was added.

or idk. I used to listen to that song

[broken badge]

Yeah it’s in the game

If you run into issues the wiki probably has a list

[eternal garnet]

they look like white CDs

[broken badge]

They have a tiny flashing light on them as well

[feral sierra]

I know where they are now but

I dont know how to get there

welp, thats something to keep me playing

can someone help me with the map? Idk where I am there lmao

[next current]

If you're trying to get "Diving in too deep", that'll be in the Phi Robotics Lab in the Glacial Basin. From the Delta Island, head West-Northwest until you reach an area known as the Glacial Bay. The obvious landmark here being the large bridge that needs to be fixed in order to cross. From there, head South into a cave that will actually lead you into the Glacial Basin. At this time, you should've received a beacon for the Phi Robotics Landing Pad outside the lab. The Jukebox Disk is on top of the bed inside Dr. Zeta Landon's Room on the bottom floor Large Room.

[proper trail]

Guys?

Should I finish the game first or build my very big megabase then finish the game? I want to do both but my base is taking a while to finish. I am 1 step away from finishing the game

Since I want to savor my first playthrough😅

[west mountain]

You can finish the game first and then return to base building.

There is point where ||AlAn|| tells you the point of no return, there you can save the last time. When you continue, the game will end, but will no longer let you save.

[proper trail]

Okay. ||build a body for alan and leave the planet|| then go back to my base?

[west mountain]

So after finishing, you can go back and do whatever you are fancy doing. For me it means 300hrs + of base building and exploring

[west mountain]

Exactly, and complete the story of Sam also.

[proper trail]

What? Is there a small window to save?

[proper trail]

Already did

[west mountain]

No, its just that afterwards you cannot save anymore, because you cannot return anymore.

[proper trail]

I meant. Is there a small time window to save in a part in the end?

[west mountain]

Excellent, including ||curing the leviathan||

[proper trail]

Yes

[west mountain]

No beacuse its actually just a cut-scene with some interaction. So no point in saving there. This also means you can experience the ending as many times as you like

[proper trail]

Save before finishing the game

Got it

[west mountain]

You will see, its when AlAn tells you to ||complete any business you have left to do on the planet||. There you save and then you enter the ||portal||

[proper trail]

OHH

@west mountain thank you

I will finish the game today

[west mountain]

Excellent!

[proper trail]

Cya

[west mountain]

Have fun!

[proper trail]

I will be sure to name a part of my base just for you. You have helped me so many times

[west mountain]

I feel very honored, than you very much!

[proper trail]

Wait, @west mountain, does the mercury 2 have a storyline?

Last question😅

[west mountain]

No, just some PDA telling you what happened to the crew

But other than the parallel processing unit there is no alternative story

[proper trail]

Oh. Okay

The ||vessel|| is very expensive

[west mountain]

But the wrecks are fun to explore, especially with two or three ultra high capacitity 02 tanks. You can spend so much time in there 🙂

[west mountain]

Guess this is for AlAn

[proper trail]

Yup

[west mountain]

He will be delighted

[proper trail]

Yes

If he saw that locker

[west mountain]

He sees what you see

So he knows already 🙂

[proper trail]

Ahh. I forgot

I'm off to the Fab Base

[west mountain]

Good luck!

And say hello to Levi

[scenic parrot]

i am just downloading bz i beat the first game

i saw some videos of it and it looks cool

when that is downloading im gonna do something else

[feral sierra]

tysm bro ily

first day of playing and all im noticing is robin's badonkers

[scenic parrot]

cool bz finished downloading im gonna play

because i just finished subnautica today

only like an hour ago

its launching

[west mountain]

Be careful when landing

[next current]

Enjoy your new tunes!

[scenic parrot]

i mean the game is launching

[next current]

What a good time to get into Below Zero then!

[proper trail]

I hate navigaging around ||the crystal caves (red and purple)||

[west mountain]

Your target is east, exit North west

[proper trail]

I had just ||fabricated alan|| getting out is hard lol

[next current]

Red caves are the Fabricator Caverns and the purple caves are the Crystal Caverns.

[proper trail]

Since the crystals confuse me

Their positions

[west mountain]

Best is to drop beacons at the entrance/exit. And some waypoints 🙂

[proper trail]

Keep forgetting

The ||crystal caves|| have loads of prawnable resources

A holy grail, if I may

[west mountain]

Yep, I drilled them all, its empty now

I completely emptied the cavern from all resources.

[proper trail]

Lol. Wow

[west mountain]

And have you found the ||cristal cavern crevices or deep cristal cavern||??? You are rich if you go down there.

[proper trail]

Idk where that is but I WILL find it

Essential for my megabase🌃 👌

[west mountain]

Just some crevices in the cavern, where you can go deeper. Its full of precious metals.

[proper trail]

Like lead? Or galena?

I need lead. LOTS of it

[west mountain]

No, just gold and silver 🙂

But it looks so coool

[proper trail]

Wow

[proper trail]

I will visit that soon

[west mountain]

I have to confess that I killed all leviathans in the cavern in order to plunder the place completely and build a base. Later I respawned them via command to have some company down there.

[scenic parrot]

can you guys please try to be extra careful around spoilers

i just installed the game not too long ago

[west mountain]

We talk about resources, not story reladed stuff

and that there are leviathan in the game you already know from OG.

Spoilers are only required for endgame or story related advise.

But we will take care of it

[scenic parrot]

wait

which og leviathan is in bz

[west mountain]

None

completely new ones

[scenic parrot]

why you say this then

[west mountain]

No specific ones, just leviathans are in the game, but the BZ ones of course

[scenic parrot]

oh

ive heard there is temperature yep

im getting cold

[west mountain]

Yes, are you still on land

go to the burning wreck

[scenic parrot]

im in water im going to the drop pod

[west mountain]

Ok, just note that when you dont move in water, temperature kicks in. So dont go AFK when you are out.

[scenic parrot]

oh so it doesnt float in this one ive seen from videos

[scenic parrot]

didnt know that

i didnt pay attention to story much in og game but i will in this one

[west mountain]

The story is very important, especially the few words that were spoken right in the beginning of game

[scenic parrot]

why she callin me baby sis

[west mountain]

She is your sister, so its family talk 🙂

[scenic parrot]

robin is not a baby

if she means little/younger i understand

[west mountain]

Its baby talk among siblings

[scenic parrot]

bro my pda is a lower pitch and i mean way lower

[west mountain]

Yes, get used to it, its like the navigation system in another car

[scenic parrot]

this game has many more qol features

[west mountain]

Exactly, consider it to be another, new game. Dont compare it too much with OG.

[scenic parrot]

cool peepers have 3 tails

im just gonna craft some things and collect some things and see what happens

galena thats new

a sea monkey interesting

[west mountain]

Yes, just be a bit careful with them

[scenic parrot]

oh its not acid mushrooms its ribbon plants

[scenic parrot]

why they look cute

[west mountain]

You will see 🙂

[scenic parrot]

now im worried

oxygen plant cool

[west mountain]

They are the best

[scenic parrot]

pinning recipes is life

no more shuffling through the pda all the time

creepvine more like redvine

im gonna go to sleep gn

[proper trail]

Gn

[scenic parrot]

its late

[proper trail]

Btw, have fun with BZ

Don't rush anything. Enjoy

[scenic parrot]

man bz is fun and i heard the seatruck is like a seamoth and cyclops merged

[proper trail]

True

I love it

But the modules are expensive AF

[eternal garnet]

Monkeys may annoy you a lot; just hide your tool (PC: press E)

[scenic parrot]

they steal your stuff?

ive heard

[eternal garnet]

yes

But at one point, they stop

[west mountain]

Seatruck is best, I love it.

[proper trail]

Alan's ||vessel|| looks kinda terrifying and cool at the same time lol

[west mountain]

There you go, bye bye 4546B

[proper trail]

Oh, I haven't visited ||the phasegate facility yet||

I am going to store all the resources I got from the crystal caves then go there

Uhh

What is "DevConsole"?

[feral sierra]

agreed

[proper trail]

I was pressing buttons and this popped up

[feral sierra]

sounds like something powerful

like minecraft commands

idk

[feral sierra]

probably commands

[proper trail]

A secret developer code prompt

I think I wasn't supposed to see it

[feral sierra]

try spawn titanium

[proper trail]

I can't break my save man

[feral sierra]

damn

[proper trail]

I am going to platinum this game.

What If it disables trophies or achievements

I will try it when I finish and 100% the game

[west mountain]

Only when you actually type a command and then save the game

Just opening the console should not do it

But somebody might confirm please

[eternal garnet]

that's right

[feral sierra]

idk anything about that but
the sky at night is beautiful

[hollow condor]

Is BZ getting new features added or is this like the end in terms of content?

[feral sierra]

BRO ||I forgot about the snowfox! that vehicle is gonna be really cool!||

[feral sierra]

found it! thanks!!!

[proper trail]

I managed to deplete an ||ion battery||

They last for so LONG

I bet they will take so long to charge too

[west mountain]

Tbh, I dont think they take longer to charge than normal batteries.

I think charging is measured in percentage and not capacity in BZ

But somebody will proof me wrong

Hmm... why not putting an empty ion and regualar battery in the charger and compare the two.

Can you do that? Just draining a regular battery with the seaglide for example.

And put them both in simultaniously

[proper trail]

Mhm

Sleeping is a good strat

It speeds up charging

[proper trail]

Yes. That is wrong

I watched them charge

Those batts

[west mountain]

And ion takes longer?

[feral sierra]

||when you almost died going in the planet just to get demanded around by an alien called Alan||

https://tenor.com/view/disappointed-disappointed-fan-seriously-what-are-you-doing-judging-you-gif-17485289

[proper trail]

I just finished Below Zero

And platinum'd it

The ||architect homeword|| is so beautiful. I only wish to explore it

[feral sierra]

niceee

||I just wanna know if there's a lot of interacting with al-an||

I love that guy

[eternal garnet]

Not a lot. Mostly verbal

[feral sierra]

oh

thats still good

[west mountain]

Thats up to your imagination, and some artwork you collected. Now that you finished you can explore all the little secrets you have missed on 4546B. That is amazing!

If you want some hints about what you probabely missed, just give me a shout!

[placid furnace]

I just wanna hug him

[plain igloo]

I just watched a video about cut creatures

That were designed by Alex Ries, the designer for the lifeforms on 4546B

[west mountain]

Link please

[plain igloo]

Pretty much all of those cut creatures were so freaking cool it's a shame they didn't implement them... One was an ice version of the Reefbacks and they said it would be too difficult to program it into the game, cuz it would have to move the ice and stuff, colliding into the borders of those objects. And an actual ice dragon, being bigger than the Shadow Leviathan, probably even too big for the game cuz it would barely be able to swim free

I deffo recommend checking it out

https://youtu.be/cpriXP451ys

[placid furnace]

Ice dragon :(

[plain igloo]

Like forreal, even sketch art of how the ||Precursors|| would've looked like in their biological form

I'm just so amazed tbh, very talented guy

[placid furnace]

I don't think I saw that

Only unused concepts

[plain igloo]

I hope some of these make it into the 3rd Subnautica

If it's actually gonna be like the last 2

[placid furnace]

As long as I'm given more Architect info I'll be happy

[plain igloo]

Well, you can see how they were supposed to look like

Before they turned themselves into AI robots

[placid furnace]

Again, haven't seen that, only other concepts that weren't picked for the final design

[plain igloo]

Then you should watch the video 😉

I just randomly stumbled across the video and i was interested

Deffo didn't get let down

[placid furnace]

Aww they're cute!!

I mean they are now too but you know

[west mountain]

Sorry, cannot help but they look a bit like Randall from Monster Inc. 🙂.

[plain igloo]

WHY DID YOU SAY THAT now i can't get it out of my head WHAHHAHAHA 🤣 🤣 🤣

[cedar mason]

Is building a base on lilypads (flat ones) a good idea?

[proper trail]

Wow

Nice view

[west mountain]

Its worth it afterwards , but for the game play probabely there are better locations.

[proper trail]

I hate getting lead lol

I have a massive outdoor garden planned for my megabase

[proper trail]

Time to copy this🤫

[west mountain]

I build a scanner room in twisty bridges and collected all the lead from there. Then I moved on to thermal spires and finally ||cristal cavern||. Yes, lead is a concern.

[proper trail]

True

The end scene was astounding

Loved it

[west mountain]

Yes, just that very tiny moment where you could see the ||alien planet||

[proper trail]

Yes

I want to know what happens to alan

I hate cliffhangers

[west mountain]

...and they lived happily ever after?

or how does this line goes?

[deep kettle]

lol

[proper trail]

Can't be

||alan caused the breach of kharaa|| he confessed in the fab base

Idk whether ||his people survived||

Did they imprison him? Shun him? Idk💀

[deep kettle]

Then why would he go back?

Sounds like a terrible plan lol.

[proper trail]

To make ammends

💀

[west mountain]

Why ||thye left him behind in the first place?||

[proper trail]

Because

That?

I NEED ANSWERS Unkown worlds💀!

Don't leave us wanting MORE

But I loved the game

[deep kettle]

What's the fun in getting the answers though, that's one of the things BZ kind of ruined about the first game for me. Explaining certain events 😛

[proper trail]

Cliffhanger

[proper trail]

I'd rather know what happens but I understand

||He looks so cool but I am so scared lol||

[deep kettle]

Like ||the end of the game|| sure, that could have been given a bit more explanation instead of being a big cliffhanger xD
But in general I don't think it would be better if we knew everything.

[proper trail]

I want to see more of them

[west mountain]

Lets assume they|| left him behind to find a cure for Kharaa and evacuated all the healthy ones to their home world. Now AlAn found the cure via Sams antidote and can go back and will be celebrated as a hero||. Just one possible story line.

[proper trail]

And the other being they ||shunned him because of the kharraa incident and bad ending for him and the protagonist||

[proper trail]

Positive

[proper trail]

Negative

[west mountain]

Yep, we dont know. But ||Robbin was positiv and gave him hope to return. So lefts focus on the positiv one. Too much negativ stuff happening|| in real life.

[proper trail]

Yes

I'm gonna get SN/BZ withdrawal when I stop playing lol

[dawn snow]

I keep trying to reach this altera base but everything I go in it’s direction I juts end up in the dead zone anyone know what to do?

[west mountain]

Its north of your drop pod, no dead zone there

[proper trail]

Ohh

[west mountain]

You have to look for an|| underwater entrance||

Just search the norther nordern border, you will find it

[dawn snow]

I am here right now

[proper trail]

Btw, ||alan's ship looks very unusual on the inside you know?||

The interior looked weird

[dawn snow]

Do I search underwater for an entrance?

[proper trail]

Yes

[west mountain]

Well, I dont know every ice berg, but its north of your drop pod in the same area you crash landed in the frist place.

[proper trail]

An opening

[west mountain]

That looks too much east (or west 🙂 )to me.

[dawn snow]

Okok I’ll try to more north

[west mountain]

Go back to your drop pod, go straight north until you hit the shallow arctic. There you search along the border until you find an unterwater entrance. Its a bit east of where you crash landed and went into the water the first time.

[proper trail]

I stumbled across ||outpost zero|| while just looking for resources😅

[proper trail]

I didn't know alan's ||phasegate portal|| was near ||outpost zero||

I never noticed it

[west mountain]

You can go there but|| the entrance is blocked, so you did not miss anything.||

[proper trail]

The green force field?

Oh okay

What happens to Robin at the end tho

Does she live there forever now?

[west mountain]

up to your imagination

So far we dont know anything about it. I assume, ||once the architects go back to 4546B they take her along or bring her back to her family.||

[dawn snow]

Is this the shallow arctic border?

[west mountain]

yes looks good

[dawn snow]

Ok ill search now

[west mountain]

There is lots of stuff to find along that border.

So take your time

[dawn snow]

I think I’m doing something wrong I haven’t found anything yet

[west mountain]

Follow that wall to the east and go into every little crevice (well its a big crevice because the seatruck can fit into it no problem). Then you will hit the underwater tunnel to outpost zero.

By lots of stuff I mean resources, scannable fragments, and a small treasure cave (that one is more to the west)

[dawn snow]

Is it even useful to go to uutpost zero

Since I am not in the start of the game I am more midgame

[west mountain]

Yes, I consider it useful. Lots of scans and PDAs telling you the story.

But its not absolutely necessary for the game progressing

But you are close, why not spend some more time looking for it.

It feels good when you found it.

[dawn snow]

Yeah fair enough

[west mountain]

the entrance is marked by a huge icycle hanging down from the wall these where you get frostbites 🙂

There the wall curves inwards, if you follow the wall you will hit it guaranteed.

[dawn snow]

Found it

[west mountain]

Excellent, congratulation

[dawn snow]

Thank you so much

[west mountain]

Pleasure!

[dawn snow]

Woah I found some ||alien base|| on the island I am sure that it has something to do with the story

[west mountain]

Excellent can you get in?

[dawn snow]

Yes but it is inactive

[west mountain]

Wow, well done!

[dawn snow]

Well I guess I’m on my way to find another altera base

[west mountain]

Sure, and also all the beacons you got from ||AlAn||

[dawn snow]

Yeah I already visited the ones he gave me so I am juts exploring altera bases while waiting for him to give me more

[west mountain]

Did you already find an ||architect body part||?

[dawn snow]

Yep I found the

Skeleton

[west mountain]

Excellent, so what base you are going to explore next?

[dawn snow]

I think I wanna try this one

[west mountain]

Phi robotics, wow, that will be so amazing!!! See the two ||yellow-ish dots on the map, just above the green letter Phi? ||thats where you should go.

[proper trail]

Phi excavation and phi robotics. Don't get confused about those 2😅

[dawn snow]

What do you mean

[trim beacon]

I remember having to google the symbols for phi, delta, and omega. I was so confused which one was which lol

[proper trail]

LOL

[west mountain]

In your picture above the green circle with the letter phi on the map are two yellow dots at the water. Thats where you are heading to for Phi.

[proper trail]

Same tbh

[dawn snow]

Oh ok

[proper trail]

I want to quit subnautica and come back after a few years. The NOSTALGIA I would get would be immesurable

[dawn snow]

Is it east?

[west mountain]

West. Left on the map is west, right on the map is east. Up is north, down is south.

[proper trail]

I so want to do this lol

[dawn snow]

Ok ill go search now

[dawn snow]

Thank you

Is this it?

Woah this is so cool

[silent chasm]

I used to run Subnautica at 60 50 fps now it runs at 20 10 fps I play on the notebook and its cooler stopped, could it be that the fps problem is overheating?

[west mountain]

Yes, exactly!

[charred sparrow]

Possibly. It’s probably limiting the performance of your cpu and gpu to avoid overheating

[cedar mason]

Given that I'll build my first base at delta island, should I do it in front of the thermal spires, in front of the tree spires or in front of the purple vents?

[dawn snow]

I only have 2 ||snowfox fragment|| and I juts need one more anyone know where to find it

[west mountain]

They are lying around in the area.

[dawn snow]

I found one at the base I am currently at

I juts need one more

[west mountain]

Yes, you have to scan the area outside a bit, and make sure to scan the pad also

[dawn snow]

Ok will do

[west mountain]

There is one fragement, when you go ||out and above phi robotics|| there is a|| ladder going up ||to another area and there is one fragment. Or there are fragments along ||the frozen river|| I think.

[dawn snow]

Ill look around the frozen river theb

[west mountain]

The other area is "nice" too 🙂

[dawn snow]

It’s just that I can’t find the ladder

[west mountain]

When you exit|| phi robotics through the door, then turn left and go up the ramp and then turn right when you are above phi||. Its a bit in a niche.

[dawn snow]

Ok ill try that

Found it thank you

[west mountain]

Up there you see immediately the third fragment

And its worth exploring the area a bit 🙂

[west mountain]

Btw, did you build the ||spy pengling|| yet?

[proper trail]

You need the ||spy pengling|| @dawn snow

For the story. You need to use it

[dawn snow]

I am still exploring it is so cool

[west mountain]

Excellent, dont stop!

[next current]

Don't stop in believing~!

[west mountain]

Exploring 🙂

[next current]

[sinful sedge]

can someone send me all the trophies what do i need to do to get it because they’re hidden

[novel token]

i got a challenge: build a large room then section off one corner with partions completely dont put a door but place a wall blue print in side of this area the challenge is to remove it
i call it the unreachable wall
"tip do it on a creative save unless you are willing to sacrifice 2 plasteel ingots"

[next current]

Which ones do you have?

[dawn snow]

I am always so scared because I might have missed something

[west mountain]

You can always go back, there is nothing in the game that you will miss.

Btw did you scan the ||map in Phi robotics||

[proper trail]

PDAs keep respawning in my game

But I can't pick them up💀

[next current]

Have you updated the game at any point?

Removed files maybe.

[proper trail]

Game is at the latest version

I checked

[next current]

Any recent updates? Have you switched between versions? If not, then I have 0 clue.

[cobalt mural]

imagine having so much time to spare, that you make a base at the bottom of the worlds edge

[gloomy cove]

I got subnautica below zero today😸

[dawn snow]

oh no i did not

is it important

[west mountain]

Yes but you will go back there eventually

So just continue

[dawn snow]

Ok noted

However I did get the ||snowfox|| and find the ||frozen leviathan||

But there wasn’t much to do with the ||frozen leviathan||

[west mountain]

Well thetr was a device next to it

[dawn snow]

Woah I missed a lot of stuff then

Ill go Back next time

[west mountain]

And now you need the map and a spy penglin

[dawn snow]

And look more carefully

Ill go back with a spy pengoin

[west mountain]

And map

[dawn snow]

What do you mean map

[west mountain]

The map from phi robotics

[dawn snow]

Oh like I have to find it

[west mountain]

Its inside phi

[dawn snow]

Ok ill juts go back the

[west mountain]

And did you scan the cold suit

[dawn snow]

Yes

[west mountain]

Ok great

Not necessary but fun to build

[dawn snow]

Ah ok

Great thank you

I gtg

[west mountain]

See you later

[feral sierra]

yo guys ||will I meet maida?||

[west mountain]

Where are you in the game

[feral sierra]

idk, I fixed the bridge

[west mountain]

Have you explored delta island?

Sure you did

[feral sierra]

yes

[west mountain]

So you met her already

[feral sierra]

yes

what I mean is

later in the story

[west mountain]

You got a beacon pilot last known position

[feral sierra]

OOO

is she near there?

[west mountain]

Its where she disappeared

So probabely yes

You have to search a bit in the caves

[feral sierra]

alright

[gloomy cove]

can I change the color of multipurpose room?

[west mountain]

You can change the color of the entire base with the control room

[feral sierra]

interesting

[wheat mantle]

Hi

[sterile pond]

Hello i want to help

[wheat mantle]

I don’t need help!

[next current]

Your time to help will eventually come. Patience is key.

[feral sierra]

||maida said something about turning of a tracking tower. What tower? where?||

[feral sierra]

indeed, but Im impatient so pls help

[next current]

The communications tower on the Delta Island.

[feral sierra]

tysm kind person

helped me 2 times now

[next current]

[feral sierra]

[next current]

||Did you get the Test Override Module blueprint in her base?||

[feral sierra]

i think so

the one on the table?

[next current]

Ahh good. You're gonna need that.

[next current]

Yup!

[feral sierra]

alright

ima go sleep now, its late. Thanks for your help

[next current]

Ahh okay! Good night, my friend!

[feral sierra]

was listening to some voice logs and robin said "ima run us both inside a leviathan's mouth" while im being chased by a leviathan

[next current]

What a coincidence!

[feral sierra]

quickly paused and saved

just in case

[next current]

Always a good idea.

[feral sierra]

yup

[scenic parrot]

alright im awake now i can continue playing this game

is that why its called twisty bridges there is coral bridges and they are twisted

[west mountain]

Correct. Twisty bridges is where the coral bridges are twisted

[scenic parrot]

these

[west mountain]

Yep

Very important biom

[scenic parrot]

ok i made an 02 tank and it gave me the repair tool blueprint for some reason

why does the o2 tank have a bar next to it

do i have to repair the tank

[west mountain]

Every blueprint will become important at one point

Not its the 02 level

[scenic parrot]

oh

why would you need to see that

[west mountain]

Not maintenance required

You can have more than one tank if you want

[scenic parrot]

i never did that in the first game

do you just swap between tanks

[west mountain]

Then you see the fill level without putting it on

Yes just click on it

But make sure its filled up otherwise you die

[scenic parrot]

crystalline sulfur

please say its not in somewhere deep like last time

[west mountain]

No its quite shallow

[scenic parrot]

crystalline sulfur decided to go shallow and stop hanging out in brine i see

you know i would be happy if crashfish werent in this game

[west mountain]

Its either jaying around in pure form or inside sulfur plants

[scenic parrot]

crashfish?

[west mountain]

Where the crashfsh lives

[scenic parrot]

they really had to add those little guys that are like creepers in minecraft here

[west mountain]

Yep

[jovial steppe]

crashfish are the most evil fish in the entire 4546B planet.

[scenic parrot]

and they inhabited the crater and sector zero

[jovial steppe]

who knows where else they live

[west mountain]

No crater in BZ

[jovial steppe]

They probably even exist in NS2

[scenic parrot]

no i mean the crater from the first game

[jovial steppe]

or maybe NS1

oh yeah they were in the crater

you'd be exploring this nice cave, and then they'd jump out like "haha!", give you a heart atteck and then chase you until they go kaboom.

[scenic parrot]

ive dodged them a few times though

they cant turn easily so when they come charging move aside and forward so they are behind you and they cant turn well so they explode before they get you

[jovial steppe]

also ive always wondered, the big orange planet in the sky... Is that obraxis prime?

[scenic parrot]

well idk if they turn well in bz

[scenic parrot]

idk

[jovial steppe]

oh. i guess only devs or people that know everything only know then, you know?

[scenic parrot]

is that a grav trap fragment i see

seaglide fragment what you doin on that nest

[next current]

People that know everything you say... I just so happen to have have 1k hours on BZ. How may I help?

[scenic parrot]

i got fins now im zoomin

[deep kettle]

[scenic parrot]

family reunion

[west mountain]

Cute

[scenic parrot]

ayo im getting cold

[west mountain]

You can pick the small ones up

[scenic parrot]

i know

at least the pda says hypothermia imminent

[west mountain]

And hold them until they sneeze

[scenic parrot]

now are these spy penglings ive been hearing about like camera drones

[west mountain]

No thats a blueprint you have to find

[scenic parrot]

ok

just found all 3 seaglide frags

the sea monkeys are always like "hee hee i have your stuff come get me"

[next current]

I wasted an okay quotient of my after life playing Below Zero.

[west mountain]

You have to hide your tools when they come close

[next current]

I have now claimed the title of King of Sector Zero!

[scenic parrot]

oh map and light in seaglide are separate this is going to make my life easier

[west mountain]

Yes map is only marginally useful mostly in caves

[scenic parrot]

i be zoomin

[west mountain]

No need its not showing any story related thing

[scenic parrot]

if only i went here

[west mountain]

Intersting so many seaglides bunched toghether. Never noted that one.

[scenic parrot]

bro is that a fourth one!?!?!

[west mountain]

You can scan them and get titanium

[scenic parrot]

well titanium for days

[scenic parrot]

i know

i want a mobile vehicle bay im looking for those

titan holefish

gives oxygen

[west mountain]

Yes but watch out for the symbiots

[scenic parrot]

what is a symbiot

is that a creature in the game

[west mountain]

The red fishs protecting the titan hole fish

[scenic parrot]

cool i scanned a sea monkey without it stealing my scanner

thats not crystalline sulfur thats a crashfish egg

[west mountain]

Yes its random chance what you get

[scenic parrot]

mineral detector oo

[next current]

Mineral Detector = Poggers.

[scenic parrot]

i have the blueprint for poggers

[next current]

[scenic parrot]

bro this unknown guy is sending me morse code reading sos should i go help him

im going to help him

[west mountain]

Its a distress call so yea please help

[scenic parrot]

ooh this mineral detector can find fragments

[next current]

Yee... it's like a mini scanner room.

[scenic parrot]

how do i use the mineral detector

how do i see the things it finds

[next current]

You hold it and use the RMB to switch through what you want to find.

[west mountain]

Choose what you want to find and swim around with it in your hand

[next current]

Then it beeps as soon as you come into range with it.

[scenic parrot]

oh

whats that big fish

is that leviathan

no too small to be leviathan

[west mountain]

Cryptosuchus

[scenic parrot]

is it bad

[west mountain]

Loud and annoying

[scenic parrot]

one came from behind me and hurt me

i just want to go to the pretty sure this is a spoiler: ||delta station||

[west mountain]

Give it a swipe with the knife when they come too close

Yes go there

[scenic parrot]

how do i not freeze at the ||delta station|| because i cant stay there for long and i dont have a coldsuit

oh now im trespassing huh

yes thermal lilies

[west mountain]

There hot ponds also and caves

[scenic parrot]

ok i want a knife arm on my prawn and armor on mine

[west mountain]

Oh you got inspired

[next current]

I think I know who!

[scenic parrot]

double the o2

[west mountain]

Never forget to refill manually

[scenic parrot]

also i got 1 seatruck frag

help

ugh i have seatruck i just need the bay

i only have 1 bay frag

oh i dont need a moonpool

[bright osprey]

Listens to diving in too deep on repeat

[bright osprey]

Kelp Forest :)

[scenic parrot]

realizes he never checked arctic kelp for frags

omg a frag

and its a bay frag

in the kelp zone

[sand knoll]

is it worth it to get subnautica BZ again if ive already played the whole thing

[scenic parrot]

idk i just started bz

isnt air bladder op

oh yes

titanium ingots are 5 titanium now lets party

[bright osprey]

When did you play it?

[scenic parrot]

I just died for the first time in BZ like around 10 mins ago

[bright osprey]

Ah rip, what killed ya

[scenic parrot]

oxygen

anybody know an easy way to get gold

havent found a single one

[bright osprey]

Sandstone outcrops

And around the thermal spire things theres a bunch of holes, in there theres pretty often gold

[scenic parrot]

i mean bz

[bright osprey]

Yeah

Well theyre not called that, but you get what i mean :)

[scenic parrot]

what happened

[bright osprey]

Lmao

What are you doing rn in bz? :)

[scenic parrot]

going in holes for gold

just found some im leaving

i want to make the seatruck

[scenic parrot]

yes

[bright osprey]

Nice

[scenic parrot]

quality content

[bright osprey]

True

[scenic parrot]

if only advanced technology from subnautica was irl

imagine people just chillin in mechs all day

not quality content

[bright osprey]

Oop

[scenic parrot]

craftin' the depth module

[bright osprey]

300m go br

[scenic parrot]

then i can go to the last known location of armored prawn girl

what is that

[bright osprey]

SHRIMP

SHRIMP

[scenic parrot]

im going to help that guy

im going to distress call location

i did hear of this alan guy

what just happened to robin she sounds hurt

robin sounds like she is in distress

[fossil zodiac]

It's part of the story most likely

I finished the game a while ago, and somehow my prawn suit magicly disappeared so yea.

[scenic parrot]

thats something

[carmine bobcat]

I want to put an ion cube in a battery for infinite power source

[proper trail]

A brine wing

@scenic parrot very troublesome

If you have low O2 and it freezes ya?

You're dead💀💯

[scenic parrot]

cool i got scanner room

good thing there are no stalkers in this game and the sea monkeys dont steal my stuff anymore

im gonna build a base

so i can use my mod station and stuff

[scenic parrot]

im gonna make it near the drop pod because it is kind of like an "addition" so i could just use base modules

[coral lotus]

oh God you can kill the adult pengwing I feel bad now 😭😭😭 it bit me and I started swinging my knife I didn't know it could actually die 🥲🥲🥲

[scenic parrot]

adult is a pengwing baby is pengling

[coral lotus]

yes

[scenic parrot]

ahh in this one you make the camera drones manually

[dawn snow]

I am pretty far into the game and I still have not been able to find the ultra capacity 02 tank

[scenic parrot]

i just started

[dawn snow]

Like I have already crafted ||one of the architect body larts||

[coral lotus]

look up chemicalApes

[maiden aurora]

||monkey nest in the lilypad islands||, sea truck recommended

[maiden aurora]

also let me guess you only get the skeleton?

[plush talon]

Where in Phi Robotics can i find Snowfox parts? Ive only found 1

[eternal garnet]

around it, in the snow

[dawn snow]

Yeah

[maiden aurora]

what ^^ said, a bit difficult, prawn is much better though

[keen flax]

jus get prawn and grapple arm

u will be spiderman

[plush talon]

Can you get the grapple arm in BZ?

[keen flax]

i think so

ye

lilypad crevice monke nests

[feral sierra]

monke nests

always worth checking if you need anything

[scenic parrot]

yay i got my first seatruck module

[eternal garnet]

also find the other one here

[feral sierra]

niceee

[next current]

That's a good one right there.

[feral sierra]

some sea monkey gave me lead which is what I need atm

[next current]

Pin some recipes with Lead. That'll give you a higher chance on getting lead.

[eternal garnet]

hint: what they give is not totally random

[feral sierra]

ohhhh, thats why it gave me lead

[next current]

I believe the default items are the more common materials.

[feral sierra]

I passed by a cute squid shark thingy.
guess what happened

It opened its mouth and almost swallowed me

note to self: they arent cute

[next current]

Yeah... they're like that sometimes.

[scenic parrot]

yes the fabricator one

something grabbed me it was called a spikey trap

[next current]

Yee... you gotta be careful around them.

I suggest hitting their tentacles with the survival knife if they ever happen to latch onto you again.

[scenic parrot]

i did after i realized they were

yes i got the fabricator module

where are rubies

[eternal garnet]

koppa mine, or lilypads, or deeper parts of tree spires

I think monkeys can give you that

[feral sierra]

where can I find aquarium ones?

for sea truck

[eternal garnet]

on top of lilypads

[scenic parrot]

pov: you only know what lilypad is

[eternal garnet]

not the leaves, but the ground

[scenic parrot]

im going to lilypad

[feral sierra]

alright thanks

[dawn snow]

@west mountain I am going back to ||phi robotics|| any tips

[next current]

Bring a ||Propulsion Cannon. There is a dandy cache behind some cargo crates on the top floor. Tons of good loot.||

[scenic parrot]

what do i need to unlock the decontaminated water or whatever the "more water" is

disinfected yeah

[eternal garnet]

you can't craft them. You can make Large water though

[next current]

Disinfected Water is not craftable in Below Zero. Instead, the game gives a different and even more op solution.

[scenic parrot]

ok how do i make large water

is it water filtration machine?

[next current]

Via water filtration tablets.

[eternal garnet]

or the water filter machine

[scenic parrot]

whats a water filter tablet

[next current]

You'll obtain their blueprint after picking one up in the Glacial Basin.

[scenic parrot]

i have no idea where that is

[next current]

They're in supply crates.

It's the biome where the Phi Robotics Lab is located.

[scenic parrot]

dont tell me where it is then

[next current]

In fact... Phi Robotics has a few.

[scenic parrot]

also, what do spy penglings do

[next current]

They're basically an land-exclusive version of the Camera Drone.

[scenic parrot]

can they go in water?

[eternal garnet]

they go in small tunnels you will find, including getting one unique mission item. Or, they collect fur. They explode when wet.

[next current]

Not recommended.

[eternal garnet]

or, they harrass penguins. fun. Also there's a hidden selfie mode

[scenic parrot]

i died from pengwing

[next current]

You forgot the beep feature.

[umbral sparrow]

Do ore veins have random ores? I think I got really lucky because the first one I found was in thermal spires and gave me 3 diamonds

[eternal garnet]

no, dev placed

[umbral sparrow]

Oh, nvm then

Ngl though, the O2 plants are a lifesaver

[eternal garnet]

I think you are in koppa mine then

[scenic parrot]

what is that big fish

[eternal garnet]

just a large shrimp. Catch one, make shrimp salad

real answer: ||chelicerate||

[scenic parrot]

no

[eternal garnet]

much safer in a vehicle

[scenic parrot]

my seatruck is almost out of power

[hearty prawn]

replace cells

smort

[scenic parrot]

but they are expensive

[hearty prawn]

||moonpool||

[scenic parrot]

how is that a spoiler

[hearty prawn]

idk

[scenic parrot]

and i dont have frags

[hearty prawn]

its a hint to a spoiler

[eternal garnet]

or power cell charger, it's in Phi I think. Definitely in Zero base

[scenic parrot]

i was looking for moonpool frags when i found the modules

what biome is phi located near

[eternal garnet]

the "pilot" has a moon pool

[hearty prawn]

there are no frags for moonpool

[scenic parrot]

no?

[eternal garnet]

there's a working moon pool, and a data box

[scenic parrot]

i was looking for it

[hearty prawn]

and perimeter defence module but for seatrucks

[scenic parrot]

everywhere the phi

i cant find it

where is phi located nearr

[eternal garnet]

Phi is on land, north-west from delta. Dock by a radio mast there

[scenic parrot]

ok seatruck you coming

even with your 34% power?

i mean 29%?

[hearty prawn]

thats a bit too much to say you need power cells

for me its 10-15%

then i start to worry

[proper trail]

Outpost ZERO

I suggest getting an upgrade

Ion powercells and batteries🙌

[hearty prawn]

mk 1 for sure

[scenic parrot]

i honestly try to limit cheating in video games

[proper trail]

Yep

[hearty prawn]

you need depth with seatruck

[proper trail]

Yes

[hearty prawn]

and prawn is useless until later game when you need to grind

[proper trail]

Yep

It's useful on land

Very fast

[scenic parrot]

imagine like ive been to phi but under it

[proper trail]

Prawn eliminates the threat of cold

And Is very fast on land

[proper trail]

Wdym?

@scenic parrot

[eternal garnet]

probably the deep tunnel from the eye jellies

[scenic parrot]

guys im at phi i went northwest of delta
