[terse depot]

i made another base blueprint

ty

[crude vapor]

np

[next current]

It's too big for my liking. But you do you.

[rugged meadow]

Another Levithan sized base

[terse depot]

for me its literally a starter base

[rugged meadow]

i would be good if I just get a chunk of that creativity lol ...

Some of the bases I've seen actually deserves the "base" title

They are just insanely amazin

[terse depot]

i always includa a rock puncher farm to grind materials. they dig up rocks and eat the rockgrubs off them and then drop the rock, which you can then break open for materials

[next current]

Use Sea Monkeys.

Rocker Punchers can only give you 4 different types of materials. None of which are Lead.

[terse depot]

rock punchers are faster, plus the sea monkeys would be able to swim over the walls

[next current]

Whatever you say, buddy.

[terse depot]

plus sea monkey eggs are hard to find sometimes

though i do have a couple sea monkey farms

[solar geode]

Make sure to take a break 😛

[broken badge]

I’ve only seen sea monkey eggs in the creepvine forests that are interspersed with twisty bridges. I don’t think you can find their eggs in the nests in lilypad caves, at least I’ve never seen any there

[solar geode]

How do you build a sea monkey farm?

[eternal garnet]

just release some in a good spot. Released creatures will stay nearby. Also they are always friendly to you, even sharks

[solar geode]

do they actually have to have access to the resources? or do they just spawn them into their hands

[next current]

They kinda just spawn them in with their hands.

[umbral flicker]

Though I'm having trouble connecting it to my base

[terse depot]

yall wanna see my newest base blueprint

just finished it

[eternal garnet]

but we saw it

[terse depot]

mno i mean newer than that one

i made my own server to put these base blueprints on

[opaque harbor]

thats cool, love the dedication to it

[terse depot]

if yall want to you can check out my channel where i post blueprints

[umbral flicker]

Anyone know how I can connect these?

[eternal garnet]

the game is saying to you: please remove the solar panel. Also it needs to go 1 step lower

Yellow = in the way

So to connect with the moon pool, add two multi rooms

[terse depot]

yep

i made some moonpools

oh wait the image is upside down

[eternal garnet]

your images are tiny

in case you are emailing them, tell your email app to make attachments Large

[stoic surge]

Hey Meatie, how goes?

[eternal garnet]

k

[stoic surge]

I trust all is well in Sector Zero?

[proper trail]

Nice

[umbral flicker]

I figured it out but thanks for the help

[next current]

I ate the Frozen Leviathan.

[stoic surge]

Did it taste like chicken?

[next current]

Well... every new meat does taste like chicken... so yeah.

[sonic sparrow]

Well it's a different planet too... Stuff could work differently

[eternal garnet]

gravity affects how bad deep water is. But then you might not be able to walk

[next current]

This.

[terse depot]

nop

[solar geode]

Have 2 nuclear reactors and a biofuel, 10 solar panels, and charging a basic battery still makes my lights flicker -.-

it aint right

[terse depot]

hello shadow

[broken badge]

That’s because it’s a bug, it’ll get fixed eventually

The flickering

[terse depot]

how r u

[broken badge]

I’m good, hru

[terse depot]

good aswell

[stoic surge]

Have you noticed the sound when your vehicle is charging in the moonpool?

[carmine bobcat]

good aftermorning everyone

[stoic surge]

Hello

[carmine bobcat]

Hello

how are ya

[stoic surge]

I think I'll make it

[bold citrus]

There are multiple ||endings|| right?

[stoic surge]

There are two separate stories to follow

[bold citrus]

I already got one ||al-an||

How do I get the other one?

[stoic surge]

You already started it, it's Robin's investigation of her sister's passing

[bold citrus]

I visited the ||ice monster|| but how do I get the ending

[stoic surge]

Find out who else was involved, and ||cure the frozen guy|| of it's ailment

[bold citrus]

Where should I go

[stoic surge]

There's a ||lady|| you should chat with about it

[bold citrus]

Where??? Who???

[stoic surge]

Have you been to Delta Station?

[bold citrus]

I completed the game already

Went through a ||portal with al-an||

[stoic surge]

Did you interact with the ||other human||?

[bold citrus]

I activated the delta station already and went to the ||greenhouse||

[stoic surge]

oh ok

Then you just have to find the medicine and use it

[bold citrus]

I am at the ||frozen dragon|| now

How tho

[stoic surge]

Put it in the little wheeled thing next to it's face -- press the button

[abstract panther]

so uh, what is my objective here?

what's the objective of bz

[stoic surge]

Objective one - find out how your sister died

[bold citrus]

Ahh okay

[bold citrus]

I did it what now

[stoic surge]

Enjoy Robin's meaningful speech about her idolized sibling

[bold citrus]

Oh no extra ending?

[abstract panther]

from the log i've just listened to, i have to go to the delta station first?

[stoic surge]

That's basicly the end of that story

[stoic surge]

That's a good place to go, but no need to rush, get yourself situated first -- food n water, tools, etc

You will want to have a scanner before you go there

[abstract panther]

already got the seaglide dawg lol

[stoic surge]

Then you should be ready to head South

A beacon should be revealed when you get near

[solar geode]

nah what sound?

[barren atlas]

a fine buzzing

[abstract panther]

where do i have that hint? can't find it in the logs

[stoic surge]

There's a sound the monpool makes while charging a vehicle

[eternal garnet]

yes, a grindy noise, like a washer motor

[stoic surge]

"Big radio tower"

[stoic surge]

lol

[eternal garnet]

But only I seem to hear the chimp screech sound the prawn legs make

It isn't loud, but it's definitely a chimp

[stoic surge]

I think the Devs also used the sound of the Ghost Ray from the OG to make the sea monkey sound

but it's not confirmed

[solar geode]

these are labelled as exploitable but you can't actually do anything with them

[stoic surge]

Yep, there's a couple other items that are due a relabeling

[minor apex]

Anyone know where to get spiral clippings? I’ve completely forgotten

[solar geode]

|| bottom of the purple vents ||

[stoic surge]

My favorite spot is near the fossil excavator relic

[solar geode]

looool || just found out that if you point the penguin cam at yourself, your character strikes a pose ||

[minor apex]

||the big tree looking things or the ones that explode?||

[minor apex]

Yeah it’s great

[solar geode]

the exploding ones lol, and you gotta go deep

[minor apex]

How deep we talking?

Also red or purple explodes ones

[solar geode]

|| its the purple vents that explode, some leviathans near there but you gotta go into the cave system below them, so pretty deep ||

[minor apex]

I’m not sure what ones you mean, near the ||vent gardens?||

[solar geode]

not that far out

looks like that

[minor apex]

Phew the wiki says they can be found in ||vent gardens|| thought I came all this way for nothing

[minor apex]

Huh I haven’t found any of those in caves yet

[solar geode]

I don't know how many caves are there tbh, I only saw the one

and it wasn't very big

these deposits are great

[minor apex]

Wow! What a cool looking ||purple cavern||! I sure hope no ||shadow leviathan|| sneaks up behind me and snaps my neck

[stoic surge]

Are you traveling in a seatruck?

[minor apex]

Nah, prawn

The sea truck depth modules are too expensive so I just made and upgraded a prawn instead

[sturdy lotus]

Is below zero free of all major bugs yet?

Especially save bugs

[solar geode]

I haven't experienced anything too crazy or gamebreaking

[sturdy lotus]

Waiting to play until everythings ready

[solar geode]

flickering lights in the base, some resources being unobtainable but you wont notice them anyway until you get the scanner, janky movement sometimes or getting stuck when you're running on foot. other than that its good

[broken badge]

If you’re waiting for the game to be without bugs, you’ll be waiting forever because no game is 100% bug-free. If you save often, you’ll be able to recover from the most commonly encountered bugs that people experience. Imo you’re just depriving yourself of playing a really great game, but you do you I suppose @sturdy lotus

[sturdy lotus]

Na just major game breaking bugs

Such as saves being lost

[polar herald]

ive heard that below zero story sucks does it actually?

[broken badge]

Even then, no ETA on updates so just depends how long you intend to wait
The game is quite playable
I’ve lost saves to a rare bug, it’s not that big of a deal (unless maybe you’re going to get it on Switch, but even there the game is a lot improved in terms of stability)

The story doesn’t suck, it’s just different in how it’s told compared to the og

Some people don’t like it as much as the original, some like it more. I like them both for different reasons

It’s a very subjective thing

[polar herald]

so like whats happening to the dude with the weird haircut

(main guy in subnautica)

[broken badge]

Ryley isn’t in Below Zero it’s a standalone expansion

Meaning you are able to play it even if you never played the original

[polar herald]

ah ok

[solar geode]

|| There's only one recurring character in BZ, and its not the main ||

[polar herald]

who

[broken badge]

Play it and find out

[polar herald]

fair

[broken badge]

It’s better if it’s a surprise

[polar herald]

im still in a subnautica playthrough

so yea

[broken badge]

Then it’s fine to go ahead and finish Subnautica first

[old plinth]

i have an old screenshot of the early access of the below zero base with teal peepers in an aquarium. idk why they are teal though

[broken badge]

Maybe that’s what the original Arctic peepers looked like?

Like the early version or something

[old plinth]

maybe

but theres also an eyeye in there

[broken badge]

I heard in early access there were bonesharks in BZ so that would also make sense possibly

[old plinth]

there were bonesharks i remember those

[solar geode]

A lot of things got recycled and maybe were used as placeholders

there are mentions of the seamoth in the PDA still

[old plinth]

if only

[solar geode]

which makes sense from a lore perspective but if someone hadn't played the original they would be like ??

I miss the cyclops 😦

[old plinth]

me too

[solar geode]

I hope Sub 3 has a combination of both the giant caverns from Sub 1 and the smaller cave networks from BZ. Maybe they can justify having both the truck and the cyclops 🙂

[dapper rune]

Why can’t I pick up the motivational posters off the walls of my base?

Will it be fixed or is there something I’m missing?

[solar geode]

you gotta destroy the partition

happened to me as well

[dapper rune]

Omg thanks

[dapper rune]

Is the perimeter defense mechanism automatic?

[eternal garnet]

no. select it first, then fire at start of levi attack

Don't fire it before, as it has a cooldown

[stoic surge]

Trigger it when you can see its tonsils

[carmine bobcat]

Someone say u after I say f then when I say c after the person who said u someone say k

F

[burnt pilot]

So what are the rules for survival, obviously your game ends if you get eaten. Does it also end of you drown?

[eternal garnet]

no, it does not end. Dying isn't terrible.

You drop recent items (not tools), and spawn in your base or truck

There is Hardcore, where death is end of game

You can die of thirst, hunger and cold

Freedom removes hunger and thirst.

[burnt pilot]

Hardcore is what I meant when I said “survival”, so drowning is the same as getting eaten in Hardcore, right?

[eternal garnet]

yes. dying for any reason is game over

Save is removed, except with Quit

[burnt pilot]

Thanks, it’s what I expected. Kind of curious if I can make it through

[eternal garnet]

Not a fan of hardcore, but I think the o2 warning is removed

[burnt pilot]

Wait what? Okay that’s just nasty

[eternal garnet]

All warnings removed. I believe.

[burnt pilot]

Has anyone ever put together a full list of missable secret spots or anything?

[minor apex]

I feel like the ||chelicerate|| is a lot less scary and threatening than the ||reaper||

[burnt pilot]

Below Zero is just a less scary game, right down to the music. I love Below Zero but it doesn’t have that bowel loosening quality Subnautica had

[final flame]

idk

to noobs to the series it’s just as scary

[tiny osprey]

where tf is the rebreather

i have almost everything to get started on the second phase of the game except for the rebreather and high capacity O2 tank

[terse wigeon]

i am so close to finishing the game

i just need a few more things but i cant find anything

[spice seal]

Noobs won't play BZ first because it's a sequel

[eternal garnet]

both are in twisty bridges, at 170m down and 120m respectively. Data boxes

[tiny osprey]

thank u

[eternal garnet]

One right under the really big coral loop

[tiny osprey]

idk why I was having such a tough time with that, I already played thru BZ once

[nocturne magnet]

I don't see a ||PDA seatruck #1 || tho

[next current]

It sorta blends in with the rocky terrain. Look for the faint blue glow.

[nocturne magnet]

Could you sent me the coordinates?

[nocturne magnet]

Nvm I found it.

[hushed jungle]

the way harcore just ends is stupid you should be able to at least go back and see the world after you die but not be able to do anything

[eternal garnet]

Would be unfair if someone copied the save folder before the game deletes it

😉

[hushed jungle]

yeah but you should be able to go back and spectate

[hushed jungle]

you can just alt + f4 if you are going to die

[next current]

Woah dude. That's not cool.

[eternal garnet]

that won't save, so not much of a cheat

[stoic surge]

Team Freedom For The Win!

[potent lion]

Yo

can anyone go into their subnautica save and send a screenshot of the contents in there?

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SubnauticaZero\SNAppData\SavedGames\slot0000

would be appreciated

[stoic surge]

Wish I could help, but I have the Switch version

[potent lion]

yeah, just askin pc users rn

[hushed jungle]

freedom too ez

[stoic surge]

All it takes away is food and water, you still have crafting, searching, evading, not drowning, etc ...

[hushed jungle]

yeah but food is the hardest part

[stoic surge]

Yeah, like there's a shortage of fish ... oh wait

[hushed jungle]

but there really is

[lofty rune]

not really

[stoic surge]

On an ocean planet?

[hushed jungle]

there are literally no bladdefishes near my base

[lofty rune]

make a seatruck aquarium module

[hushed jungle]

my seatruck would be way too slow

and I have decided to start eating salads and I have made 5 water filteration things

[stoic surge]

Whatever floats your submarine

[hushed jungle]

[keen flax]

its a GIANT SHRIMP, i mean come on

[hushed jungle]

actually I find the Giant shrimp to be more scary as it is absolutely massive, has good ai and is actually in places you will go unlike the reaper

[tardy surge]

I think the Chelicerate is creepy even if I don't like BZ as much

[burnt pilot]

Yeah Aquarium and Bladderfish until you get to || Margeurit’s island || and can start making salads

[burnt pilot]

Nothing is as scary as that spider-squid thing

[potent lion]

thanks, would you mind telling me where your cellscache start?

I kinda delete the game accidentally so am trying to get my save back from disc recovery tools lolol

[eternal garnet]

do you have zip files in your folder?

baked-batch-cells-1-18-6.bin but it depends what areas you visited

[potent lion]

I just have a bunch of .bins

[eternal garnet]

Cellscache is not vital. .Batchobjects you can just delete.

[potent lion]

I loaded into the save and it my base and stuff is all there but my pda and inventory are blank

[eternal garnet]

If you nuke Cellscahe, then all removable resources and entities respawn. That means ores, leviathans, PDas etc

[potent lion]

and it doesn't show my oxygen, etc.

also I spawn on the land for some reason lol

[eternal garnet]

global-objects.bin is the most important file, and I'd think yours is damaged

[tepid quest]

i just opened subnautica again to see if i could have some fun in freecam and I forgot how bad the graphics are compared to bz.

literally

bz is just so much better visually

[potent lion]

28 kb

[eternal garnet]

use ghost instead of freecam. If it exists there. Press 1-5 for speed

[potent lion]

also my cellscache starts at 7

[tepid quest]

yeah ik ik

[eternal garnet]

you can play without CellsCache. It will just respawn all pdas and resources

[potent lion]

but all my pda stuff is gone

there's only a couple things in the databank and that's it

[eternal garnet]

that would be scene-objects.bin, global-objects.bin

[potent lion]

blueprints, inventory, voice logs, all gone

so what part of the slot0000 is actually unique to your saved game?

(thank you for helping btw)

[eternal garnet]

Those two files are the most important. The json just holds tags for the UI to show: date, whether you have the prawn etc

json also signals a "valid" save file, version etc

it's text, javascript

[potent lion]

So what would you advise me to do if I retained my place in the story, have all my bases and stuff, but my pda is blank

and so is my inventory and hud

[drowsy geyser]

hey, my seatruck got stuck and i dont know what to do- does anyone have advice?

i cant get it out and its difficult to get into

[eternal garnet]

if it's on thin ice, just move 300m away then back

[drowsy geyser]

its on rock

[eternal garnet]

It will fall down

[drowsy geyser]

almost out of water

[eternal garnet]

on delta?

[drowsy geyser]

yeah

[eternal garnet]

try my trick anyway, it might help. Or push it with a prawnsuit

[drowsy geyser]

prawnsuit might work

thank you!

[eternal garnet]

oh: and save often enough that you can just lose 10 min and reload

[drowsy geyser]

mk

[potent lion]

@eternal garnet

[eternal garnet]

If you can't get better .bin files, i'd start over

[potent lion]

can I just get vanilla ones?

maybe start a different save and copy them over

[eternal garnet]

those files are your save, basically

[potent lion]

ah

[eternal garnet]

again, CellsCache is not important

[potent lion]

gotcha, thanks for clearing that up

[eternal garnet]

it tracks what rocks you broke, or leviathans killed, PDAs and fragments removed

[potent lion]

I mean, that's my main issue. The PDA

Like I said, I still retained the same exact place in the story that I was, and have my base

which seems like the main thing lol

[eternal garnet]

mm. take screenshots then

[potent lion]

sure, one sec

Me looking at my pda

[eternal garnet]

well, I meant for yourself, to rebuild

[potent lion]

oh lol

is there no hope for salvaging this you think?

[eternal garnet]

no. And I'm out for now

[potent lion]

alright, thanks for your help

also nothing showed up in my recycle bin which was weird

when stuff was deleted

[solar geode]

|| i gave al-an his body and now nothing happened? not sure if im just supposed to leave or what but he's just standing there ||

nvm just had to save, quit and reload

[sonic sparrow]

Am I the only one who thinks the ||void chelicerates|| are better than the ||void ghosties||

[tepid quest]

i think the same thing

i feel that the lore for ||void ghosts|| is a little more interesting (considering that ||void chellies|| have none)

[lofty rune]

||walk up to him and it will do the transfer thing||

[solar geode]

it wasnt working i had to restart the game and go back lol

something bugged

[lofty rune]

oh

[crimson pier]

onay

*Okay

I’m just gonna give my honest opinion about below zero, and i mean no offense to anyone who made it

Below zero to me is really just feels like a excuse to bring in cut content into a “new” game, even though the Base Building parts would’ve been amazing to add to the original Subnautica. I think my biggest issue with below zero is the fact that not only is the playable area very cumbersome and small compared to the huge and very interesting map of Subnautica

The protagonist, Robin Ayou herself is also one big thing i really disliked.

The usual silent protagonist made exploring that much more eerie, but the rather constant quip from robin and brain-Skype calls from the man himself kind of ruined the thing that made the original subnautica so tense

The one thing that below zero actually did right however was base building and vehicles

The game heavily needed more kinda miscellaneous toys and gadgets to spice up your base

However good the base building may be i think one thing needs to be adressed:

The “Story.”

Below zero has a very confusing and erratic story that splits off at several points

The gameplay doesn’t do a lot to help this issue of a more in your face story

Resource distribution is a absolute complete and utter nightmare, causing you to go into the millions of tiny caves and mazes in below zero’s map to come out with forty rubies and a single flake of lead

The Seatruck however is one of this game’s very strong points

It’s a very unique, innovative vehicle that can be made into your very own research caravan, teleport gateway, and fish catching aid.

I think the best thing about the seatruck is how insanely flexible it is

It’s practically a sea moth with the functional interior of a cyclops, combined with a miniature moon pool at the back.

As for the other new vehicle, the Snowfox

It’s just kind of meh.

Not really anything i liked or disliked about it

The issue at hand here is the above water parts of the game

[tawdry pumice]

Hmm yes, the seatruck is flexible. (Proceeds to drive underwater wiper blade)

But I understand what you mean

[crimson pier]

I really only have two words to describe the above water part of the game:

Really. Bad.

Like, i don’t want to be harsh but the aboveground segments were just

My god, they were just, they weren’t good.

[tawdry pumice]

But you get to punch the equivalent of a polar bear in a mech suit

[crimson pier]

That’s it

[tawdry pumice]

I'll stop with my jokes before it gets annoying

[crimson pier]

That’s the only thing even remotely interesting about the surface

Like, i don’t want to be mean or rude to the devs but like

there was pretty obviously a lack of motivation or effort when the surface area was made

Biggest example: Arctic Spires

This is the concept. A eerie, imposing place full of gigantic spikes with snow around their bases.

and this is basically all we got. Copy pasted ice spikes, and a extremely flat, almost even lazy flooring. Aswell as the “snow” around them apparently floating above the ground, even though some of them have snow at the base

More of the exact same thing, just flat boring terrain with some rocks sort of half assedly scattered around

The idea of land building and exploration is full of untapped potentional

Now onto some more positive topics

Unlike the rather boring surface area the underwater does pack some decently engaging secrets

The design team did a amazing job designing the biomes, i have to say

[tawdry pumice]

What's your favorite

[flat compass]

So many great to pick from but I guess the lilypad islands are up there

Don't remember name but the deep part of the lilypad islands with the big flowers, magnetite and squidsharks are beautiful as well

[broken badge]

The game started out as DLC and grew to something more, so I don’t think there’s anything lazy about it at all. I swear some people just will never be satisfied no matter. It takes an incredible amount of effort to make a game, I mean I already knew it did but working with the playtesting it makes you appreciate all that much more all that goes on behind the scenes. And testing doesn’t even have anything to do with game design really, but still. I know better than to dump on someone’s game design because even what might look sorta plain to you is still a megaton of work (not to mention a true labor of love) for people who develop games like Subnautica and Below Zero. Be ungrateful if you want but nothing about either game is lazy. I think they were pressed for time, but that’s about all maybe one could say.

[hushed jungle]

I think everything else about the game is amazing but the al an story is kinda boring

[broken badge]

I heard the story changed a lot and that’s probably why

I mean there’s some stuff with regard to the story that doesn’t make complete sense

[hushed jungle]

yeah it did but I preferred the old one but the game would have been a lot different and longer

[broken badge]

Like why Robin just ||drops on a planet with no way off|| for starters lol

[hushed jungle]

yeah and then saying she has had no contact with robing and everything just making it feel like robin would be far away from sam

[broken badge]

I know that was a lot different to begin with, even though I never played the original story since it wasn’t on consoles during ea

[hushed jungle]

I wouldn't say they added much to the story they just removed a bunch

[broken badge]

It’s pretty weird knowing later on that originally ||sam was alive and was cooperating with Robin||😛

And that they were fighting Alterra or something

Or Maida was I forget what all I’ve heard but yeah, VERY different story

[hushed jungle]

yeah they basically released the virus on vesper which was a station that just floated ontop

[broken badge]

Oh yeah that thing which you can still see on the loading but isn’t really there anymore😂

[hushed jungle]

then alan activated a shield and basically said that if they don't leave the planet they will not give them the cure which really doesn't make sense

I liked the story but it probably would have been hard to continue

[broken badge]

Well who knows if they’ll ever continue the story tbh.

I’d love to see more of the precursor story tho myself

But I guess that just depends if it’s told an interesting way, such that they could develop an interesting game around that

[hushed jungle]

||then for the ending I think there was supposed to come like a weaponized alterra ship to try to shoot down alan but then marguerite comes and destroys it killing herself at the same time||

[hushed jungle]

same

[hushed jungle]

not a 100% sure just saw a video

[plain fjord]

Can the || Shadow leviathan come out of the crystal caves? ||

[hushed jungle]

I guess if it follows you

but probably not

[plain fjord]

Ok

Thks

[hushed jungle]

by following I mean like you deliberately stopping so it can catch up to you

[broken badge]

The AI follows a path is what I’ve heard so I think generally speaking the shadows don’t leave the caverns, but I’m not sure if it can’t be baited to leave. It it could follow you, I’m pretty certain it wouldn’t remain outside the caverns but would return back there (unlike how reapers would get aggro’d by players and sometimes follow them to say the safe shallows and then be stuck there)

[hushed jungle]

yeah that's kinda what I was thinking as you really never see them near the entrance and after attacking you they often start going back to where they came from

[broken badge]

I think the pathing is also to limit weird terrain glitching, like how the dragons clip, since the caverns are a bit tight and given the size of the creatures, so I guess it’s helpful to keep them on a sort of path

Doesn’t prevent all of it, but keeps them from being as bad as their dragon brethren can be lol

[hushed jungle]

on my hardcore world the clipping was horrible with literally every leviathan going through the ground and then attacking me from underground

never actually seen any clipping in bz

[broken badge]

I remember seeing reapers clip in dunes😛

And of course I’ve seen lots of people post their clippy dragon pics

[hushed jungle]

I had a ghost clip underground in bloodkelp and then nearly killing me after

[broken badge]

Wow, I’m hardly ever around ghosts anymore, since I know how to avoid the ones in grand reef (mostly, unless it’s an accidental encounter) and I just don’t ever go to blood kelp zone

The adults that is

[hushed jungle]

I was just playing around with him but it wasn't that fun anymore when he just started going through the ground

Mornin people

good morning!

[weak hedge]

If I deconstruct a nuclear Reactor with 4 nuclear rods in it do I get the rods back as well

[deep kettle]

Knowing Subnautica it either won’t let you or it destroys them.

Probably the latter.

Oof 😔

I didn’t realise how noisy they are 🤣

I wanted to move it into a different room

I can always use console commands I guess

Yes, I needed to place it at the far far end of my base in a seperate room sealed by a hatch.

[next current]

It's not that bad!

It's a small, little vwum at most!

[vernal drum]

hi i made a base near delta outpost and i need to know where i can find magnetite

no its not spoilers delta outpost was mentioned when you can start reading sam's messages when you dropped

[deep kettle]

It’s annoying xD

[next current]

HOW?!

I don't understand how that's annoying.

[deep kettle]

The constant noises are just not fun.

[next current]

🙄

[deep kettle]

Unlike Solar Panels which are clearly superior 👀

[next current]

Yeah... okay.

[next current]

EWWW! Those things can't even power a deep sea base without the help of power transmitters.

Thermal Power is the way to go. 😎

[rugged meadow]

Lead does not have a minable ore and it's outcrop has a chance to give titanium too

[next current]

Yeah... pretty much.

[rugged meadow]

6 thermal plants and one nuclear reactor

Unlimited Power

IF i build two more thermal then it'll reach 5k

i'm out of magnetite again

[next current]

Go to the Glacial Basin. Tons of ore viens of magnetite their.

[rugged meadow]

I'm going to crystal caverns instead since I'm out of uranite too

[next current]

Hmm okay. Also, nice base!

[rugged meadow]

thanks

[next current]

👍

[rugged meadow]

I still hear the roar of Levithans in crystal caverns even though all of them are dead

Mineral detector is bad but it's not that bad

[abstract panther]

where else can i find seatruck upgrades other than lilypad biome

[rugged meadow]

twisty bridges maybe

[abstract panther]

i've been there before too, only modules

[next current]

What upgrades do you have now?

Listed in your blueprints of course.

[rugged meadow]

ayoo 5k power

[next current]

Ayo! Nice!

Also... I love the random plant pot with the frozen vase plant XD

[rugged meadow]

thanks, I recently tons of plants across my whole base

[tardy surge]

I like that the alien containment unit is in a room with a skylight.

It like combines land, air, and sea.

[rugged meadow]

I wanna make more but I'm out of lead again

[rugged meadow]

the skyroofs are my favourite part about my base

love them so much

[next current]

That... is a lot of water materials. If I'm gonna be a honest.

But I'll take them off your hands.

[rugged meadow]

unlimited power

[next current]

It will never be unlimited.

[rugged meadow]

I'm actually out of titanium lol

Yo is there any fun thing I can do with propulsion canon

[next current]

Yeah... you can pull stuff around, there is a cache behind some boxes on the second floor of the Phi Robotics Station that needs a Prop Cannon to gain access to.

Some ore veins require it to be accessed.

[rugged meadow]

I've explored that phi robotics station part

I've seen in a speedrun .... the guy was zooming through map using propulsion canon and bladderfish

looked like a glitch

[next current]

Yeah... speedrunners exploit bugs in order to gain am advantage.

[rugged meadow]

even with a ion battery ... this thing run outs of power quick

Slicey do you have any cool base names

I'm in my control room and can't think of one

[next current]

🤔

What about... The Rune. Or

Uhh... I dunno...

[tardy surge]

"The Epic Breeding Dungeon" (For fish you perv!)

[solar haven]

My game (Subnautica: Below Zero) keeps crashing even though my pc specs are even better that the recommended one.

Is there anyone who can help me?

[rugged meadow]

[rugged meadow]

check out some fixes in #🔧sn1-bz-tech-support

[solar haven]

I have tried everything

[terse depot]

hello mr nobody

[rugged meadow]

Hi Dig

Supp

[barren panther]

If it was my system, I would do a clean install of Windows.
Then make sure all your drivers are up to date.

[terse depot]

how u been

[solar haven]

They are

And everything else is working perfectly fine

[rugged meadow]

I'm good ..... little tired, how you doin

[terse depot]

im good aswell

[barren panther]

Are you using Steam?
Check the integrity of the SubNautica files.

[solar haven]

I do and I already did that

The game always crashes after like 15 minutes of gameplay

And the pcs temperature is fine

So idk

[barren panther]

Don't know. But I would do a clean install of Windows.
It is amazing how much crap gets stuck in Windows over time.

[solar haven]

Its gonna be the last option for me.. I will try to contact the support first. Still thank you tho

[eternal garnet]

I would try a demanding 3D test. Download the free Timespy and run it

Also try in BZ: FPS cap setting. Try 30.

[solar haven]

Okay, thanks for the tip

Gonna try it

[broken badge]

If you actually had read the conversation you’d have realized the comment was part of a larger one about how leviathans maneuver in both games so you’re incorrect in saying that belonged in Subnautica chat. Discussions that involve comparisons between both games belong in #below-zero-chat so that people aren’t spoiled about BZ content, and (practically speaking) nearly everyone should have played the original Subnautica so it’s fine to have limited comments about the og game in BZ chat as well.

Also, don’t ping a mod to make a comment that you’re basically trying to “mod” their behavior that’s incredibly rude

[solar haven]

Can you help me? ↑

[terse depot]

no

[next current]

Dearen, don't you play on the steam port? Shadow only plays console.

[solar haven]

Okay..

[broken badge]

Sadly I only know very basic PC suggestions, like verify files with Steam and reinstall

[deep kettle]

Do any other games have this issue for you, Dearen?

[broken badge]

Hey it’s Thom, he would know more

[solar haven]

No

Only this one

[solar haven]

It's fine

[deep kettle]

Could you send me your logfile in DM? Sometimes it can point out an issue. You can find it by pressing the Windows key and while holding it pressing R, then typing in the following:

%appdata%
from there go back one folder and then "LocalLow" -> "Unknown Worlds" -> "Subnautica Below Zero" -> Player(.log)

[solar haven]

I am currently running a 3d benchmark test on my PC.

I will send it when it's done

[vernal drum]

if your base is extremelt huge or has too much things in it (such as 10+ fishes in a containment) thats prob the reason it crashes

[eternal garnet]

er... not really. Bad FPS maybe

[vernal drum]

he has

better specs than recommanded

[broken badge]

Yeah, don’t think big bases would cause crashes just some lag maybe

[vernal drum]

an overload can cause a crash on every games ever

[eternal garnet]

I spawned 100 reapers. Didn't crash

[solar haven]

No, It keeps crashing after like 10 minutes of gameplay every time.

[broken badge]

I play on an Xbox One X and I don’t think I’ve had any crashes tbh so something is up

[vernal drum]

where did you last save

[solar haven]

I dont even have a base 😄

[rugged meadow]

My main base sure is laggy but it never crashed my game .... hell I never got a crash in general

[solar haven]

I have no saves yet

[vernal drum]

what

[eternal garnet]

if FPS cap helps, this points to a hardware issue. Very frequently neglected hardware: your power supply

[vernal drum]

do you play on max graphics

[solar haven]

I do, I have tried the lowest graphics but it didnt help

Its not about FPS

[eternal garnet]

FPS cap changes GPU load from 100% to maybe 20-60 depending on things

[deep kettle]

@terse depot Please don't crosspost, once is enough 😉

[terse depot]

void is in both games tho

[next current]

Yes... and?

[solar haven]

I will try it

[eternal garnet]

both games are notorious for hitting 100% already in the menu. It's the water

[deep kettle]

Plot twist, the main menu has a hundred thousand peepers swimming below it 👀

[stoic surge]

Regular, or arctic peepers?

[deep kettle]

That’s a secret

[stoic surge]

I see

For whatever reason, my aquarium module barely ever scoops up arctic peepers, it's usually full of hoopfish

[crimson pier]

That’s just kinda sector 0 honestly

I swear the place is full of hoopfish and nothing else

[abstract panther]

||when marguerit after disabling the radio tower tells me to go 1 km east from my current position, does she mean 1 km away from the delta station or the life pod?||

[rugged meadow]

Delta station

[eternal garnet]

IRL: 1130m east from delta dock beacon, but also south a tiny bit

[stoic surge]

It also likes to scoop up the penglings, which can't be eaten ... by Robin

[stoic surge]

It helps to go at night, and look for the lights along the shore

[abstract panther]

i found ||architects satelite|| instead of her safehouse, bruh

[eternal garnet]

If you find the satellite, then it's the next berg south-east

[stoic surge]

As advanced as they are, their sattelites can still fall

[abstract panther]

where can i find the hint where is ||"the lab" or "the cave" that marguerit mentioned in the audio log with sam?||

[eternal garnet]

cave: see phi wall map in your PDA. Bottom left there

is a tree area. North end of it

[abstract panther]

what phi map? what is that

[eternal garnet]

the lab is Omega. ||This is hidden inside the big rock above deep lilypad, above "body cache"||

Phi robotics, the west alterra base on land. Go north-west from delta, land at the antenna there

[abstract panther]

how was i supposed to know where is that base

[eternal garnet]

Exploring

[abstract panther]

bruh

[stoic surge]

Refer to the Alterra facility map - it's quite helpful in finding stuff like that

[eternal garnet]

Ah yes. Better answer

[stoic surge]

Thanks 🙂

[eternal garnet]

It's a wall map on delta. Some don't notice you can scan it

[stoic surge]

The first time I was there, I was a scanning maniac

I love how Jeremiah grouched about the skyrays, it's hilarious

[abstract panther]

i can't see anything because of the goddamn blizzard

every time i go out, it's snowing

[stoic surge]

That will happen

[abstract panther]

screw it, i wanted to find it by myself but i can't even find a way in on the ice bergs

wiki time

[wind scarab]

best base location?

[stoic surge]

Early game, or later?

[wind scarab]

early game

im 2 hour in, and im just running around building base with my seatruck

[stoic surge]

I like to build off the east coast of Delta Station, near some thermal vents, they can provide limitless power (later) and it's a central location

[wind scarab]

is it just me or is this game faster than subnautica?

cause im 2 hour in and i already have rubies and uranite

lithium, diamonds too

[stoic surge]

BZ has more guidance than the OG does, so you're probably progressing faster

[abstract panther]

nah, i started playing seriously today and i already have a prawn suit with important upgrades, seatruck with all of the upgrades

[wind scarab]

yeah i guess its much more faster than regular subnautica

[stoic surge]

Nice

[stoic surge]

The game area seems to be smaller, too

[abstract panther]

i just remembered ice worms exist and i'm in a prawn suit

[stoic surge]

Going by Prawn is safer than by foot

[abstract panther]

at least by foot i don't make that much noise as in prawn suit

[wind scarab]

isnt there multiple leviathan there?

[minor apex]

I just discovered that the vehicle upgrade consoles can be placed on the sides of the moonpool

[abstract panther]

there's only one if you mean how many kinds there are

[stoic surge]

There are some cryprosuchus nearby, but one seatruck ramming takes care of them

[wind scarab]

u mean here?

?

[stoic surge]

Yes, just next to the island is quite safe

[abstract panther]

i seriously feel much safer by foot than in the prawn suit when on land

[stoic surge]

If you happen to clip through the terrain, yes, you'll potentially lose less

[abstract panther]

bro

clipping through ground in bz

didn't you play not bz?

that crap is even worse

i was getting stuck in my prawn suit in the facilities almost every time

i had to use my grappling hook otherwise my prawn was stuck for good

[stoic surge]

I prefer to do my above water travel on the Snowfox, it's quite faster and 99% less likely to clip

[abstract panther]

i'm not afraid of clipping through ground, i'm afraid of what's beneath the ground

rumbling and just waiting to jump out and destroy everything i have at that point with one attack

[stoic surge]

I can recommend a path that will avoid them all, but it's a long walk

[wind scarab]

how to make ur base have beacons?

[abstract panther]

make a beacon and drop it above the base lol

[stoic surge]

build a beacon,drop it under the base

lol

The control room also includes a beacon

[wind scarab]

oh, so i need to manually put it

[stoic surge]

Which one? There are 2

[minor apex]

That’s a thing?

[stoic surge]

Investigating Sam's demise?

The next stop would be ||Phi robotics||

In a Seatruck, if you have one? then walk overland the rest

The place you should go next is above sea level

The green marker on the facility map

[abstract panther]

where is the exit of this damned place

[stoic surge]

Facility map is in the building at Delta station ... scan it

[stoic surge]

South

[abstract panther]

i went south and i only went deeper into the island

[stoic surge]

You are in arctic spires?

[spice kraken]

There is am penguing in my seateuck and i cant get in, any help?

[abstract panther]

you can clearly see the beacon of phi robotics

[stoic surge]

If you have any modules built, attach one and enter there

[stoic surge]

What direction is it from your location?

[abstract panther]

check the screenshot??? literally in the front??

[wind scarab]

why cant i scan this

[stoic surge]

Oh my browser had pics disabled, lemme fix

[spice kraken]

I an on ps4 btw

[stoic surge]

try scanning the drill end of it

[abstract panther]

imagine using browser discord

[eternal garnet]

koppa mine? sorry it's a bug

[stoic surge]

I am?

On my Chromebook, even

[spice kraken]

Yha

[stoic surge]

I see it now, head NorthEast to get back to ocean

In the building that Fred and Jeremiah lived in

[spice kraken]

I don't have any modules

[stoic surge]

Have the blueprints to build one? They're super-helpful

Fred Lachance, the Seatruck Master

Upper reaches of the Delta island

[dense widget]

@spice kraken Hello everyone, Rif is talking about my case. We’re in chat together. I have a seatruck at the giant iceberg, I have no cold resistant suit. A penguin took over the seatruck, I tried taking the mods/modules out but nothing happened.

[stoic surge]

It's in the same room where you find the jukebox

[dense widget]

I am on PS4 and I asked the devs to fix this twice, didn’t get a respond to neither.

[stoic surge]

Explore Delta station, lots of goodies to find there

[stoic surge]

So, dead pengi in the seatruck, hmm

[dense widget]

It’s alive

[stoic surge]

Oh ok

Adult, or young?

[dense widget]

Adult I think?

[stoic surge]

Moving still?

[dense widget]

It’s swimming around very lively

In my seatruck

[stoic surge]

I am imagining this and laughing , sorry

[dense widget]

Yeah we laughing with this too lol but I can’t get out of there

[stoic surge]

If quitting and reloading doesn't help, you may be looking at building another seatruck

[dense widget]

Yeah the thing is I keep dying from the cold

I can’t get around the place

[stoic surge]

Where are you?

[dense widget]

I’m at the giant iceberg

I went in the iceberg with my seatruck and nearby is a penguin pip entrance

It’s been half a year since I played this, lots of stuff I don’t remember. Because of this penguin.

[abstract panther]

should i make a separate moonpool for my prawn suit?

[stoic surge]

I'm afraid I have no more ideas, this hasn't happened to me

[stoic surge]

If your base's structural integrity can take it, sure

[dense widget]

I can’t find any solution online and the devs aren’t responding to this issue. Do you have any good route from my position to go around the iceberg?

My coldness is max about 100. then I die

[stoic surge]

What facility is it near? Any at all?

[abstract panther]

i don't even have it anywhere dangerous, what does that even do?

[dense widget]

I’ll take a screenshot of my location and show here

[stoic surge]

Deeper water puts more stress on a structure, so it may need to be stronger to avoid leakage

[stoic surge]

If you can describe where you are and where you want to go, we can help ... I hope

[eternal garnet]

"giant iceberg" might be western land I think

under it goes a long blue tunnel that ends in a dock and there is a pengling cave there

[dense widget]

Yes there

I took screenshots I can show

[eternal garnet]

yes. that's it. There are many pengling caves but this one is special. Go here later when you can go in

to get to phi, walk up over the pengling cave and north-east

Not sure where you want to go

[next current]

So the Frosted Sinew trees... What do they taste like?

I assume not good.

[dense widget]

@eternal garnet Are you talking to me or someone else?

[eternal garnet]

I am

[dense widget]

Oh yeah a penguin took over my seatruck

[eternal garnet]

huh?

is he inside, blocking use?

[next current]

He deserves it.

[dense widget]

Yeah. Alive and in my seatruck.

And Idk the route on foot to get to my homebase

[eternal garnet]

ok, you need to get about 300m away then just go back

This should remove the penguin

[dense widget]

I did that many times

[next current]

||Go visit the Prawn Pilot||.

[dense widget]

It’s not going no matter what I do

On PS4.

[eternal garnet]

are you able to stand inside the truck? then knife the penguin. it will despawn soon if dead

[dense widget]

It’s impossible

[eternal garnet]

did you go futher away? 500m

[dense widget]

I tried knifing months ago. I’ll try again now, maybe a miracle will happen.

[eternal garnet]

I'm not sure of despawn distance, but I think 300 will do

Much of the land and creatures despawn. The truck does not

[next current]

Your bug reminds me of the first time when the Seatruck was added into Early Access.

The Sea Truck's would just go on and on forever!

Funniest thing in the world.

[wind scarab]

can you cultivate the creepvine?

[eternal garnet]

yes. plant the fruit

[wind scarab]

oo ok ty

[eternal garnet]

Don't have external growbed? There are some north-west of delta, high up in twisty bridges on the border of the biome

[dense widget]

I don’t have a knife on me, I tried the 300m and it didn’t despawn.

[next current]

I always keep my survival knife on me.

[wind scarab]

ooo ty

[next current]

Vent Gardens exist.

[eternal garnet]

and another rather big levi is presumed dead. Hard to be sure

[dense widget]

I found my knife!!

It was on the ground. Ok I’m going to try that now

[next current]

||Lilypads Crevice||

[eternal garnet]

"pilot's last seen" - but below that

[next current]

You should've gotten a beacon for it on the Delta Island.

Mk1 will almost get you all the way.

[eternal garnet]

it's at 360m, so 300 will do. Swim into her moon pool - there is no door!

[next current]

Meatie, how long have you played EA of this game?

[eternal garnet]

Still tricky to find. Near the beacon, below, there's a trench ||with glowing wall plants. Follow those, and o2 plants and light sticks North-West, down to 360m.||

[dense widget]

I tried knifing the penguin, mind I can’t enter at all, it didn’t damage anything. I tried walking away from it 300m, it didn’t despawn

[eternal garnet]

Nov 2020. Not from the very start

[eternal garnet]

Alright... I guess you make a new truck then. Remove power cell, upgrades

It's not that expensive

[dense widget]

Do you know a route to get out of there on foot without freezing to death

[eternal garnet]

ow. Difficult. Probably down the tunnel, east

[dense widget]

My oxygen is 132

[eternal garnet]

Laser cut any ice bubbles on the wall

They will then leak o2

[dense widget]

Oh

I didn’t know that. I will try that now

[next current]

Yeah... I kinda wish you were able to scan them so they can give that information.

[eternal garnet]

The game gives you a couple opened ones, as a big hint

[wind scarab]

i cant cultivate ribbon plant?

[eternal garnet]

yes you can. Gel sacks too

Outside though!

[wind scarab]

ah yea

i put them in exterior bed, but they dont multipyl, they just stay liek that

[dense widget]

There aren’t many ice bubbles and they only give 3 bubbles

[eternal garnet]

to multiply, knife them

[wind scarab]

i see

[dense widget]

Thanks for all the help but I give up on this.

[next current]

Out of my many many hours of this game, I have not seen that once.

So... either you're lying to me... or I'm blind.

[eternal garnet]

seen noticed

[next current]

Very likely the latter.

[stoic surge]

I miss the brain corals

[next current]

I don't.

They said rood things to me. 😔

[stoic surge]

Oh ok

[next current]

Uh oh... Shadow is here to tell the what for.

[broken badge]

I can vouch for the opened frost corals or whatever they’re called, some are open & bubbling, others require laser cutter to cut open (I agree there should be some prompt to clue you in about this action)

[next current]

Okay...

So what you're saying is that I'm blind.

[eternal garnet]

you are meant to go "oh, there's one of those bubblers, but it's closed"

[stoic surge]

One would think a titanium knife could open it tho

[broken badge]

I think scanning maybe would be a nice idea

[next current]

They used to be. But for some reason, its entry got removed.

[broken badge]

I see

[stoic surge]

Well that was weird, I just cleared out the ||deep twisties|| without even seeing a single hostile

[zinc needle]

Idk if anyone cares but I had an idea, a "Incubation Module" it would be like a combination of the Alien Containment and the Aquarium Module, basically so you can hatch your eggs on the go so you can put them in a Alien Containment when you can.

[terse depot]

hey guys i need some advice

is it possible to get rid of the reflection on the large aquarium for large room

its rlly annoying

[burnt pilot]

Do you have windows in that room or all solid walls? I expect that comes down to light sources

[terse depot]

no its like a pasted on image of the interior of a cyclops

look it up

[crimson pier]

You know what i find really lame?

the Iceworm’s mechanics

[cinder moss]

does anyone know why the mirrors on the seatruck removed

[crimson pier]

It kinda defeats the whole purpose of a hovering vehicle if it’s louder than footsteps

[crimson pier]

Too many resources

If you didn’t ever notice, the backup cam on the truck didn’t have the fog water filter applied to it. Try using the command Fog and you’d see what i mean

[cinder moss]

ahh makes sence would be coolif it was added back as an option or a mod

[next current]

Oh agreed. They were much more threatening during the Early Access phase.

I love that pfp btw.

[crimson pier]

ty

i feel like

In early access below zero was like 20x more interesting than it is now

As much as i really just dislike below zero i must give credit to the tools we got

The tether tool is awesome

[terse depot]

you should be able to customize the size of a large room

like ol maidas base has

[potent lion]

What is it?

Have not yet finished the game

[terse depot]

it was removedi think

[minor apex]

They were changed?

[minor apex]

Except for thumpers being a cube made of seaglides

[next current]

Yeah... It was like EA 10 Where they started getting into the Ice Worm again.

[crimson pier]

hot take

I really think robin ayou is just annoying

[minor apex]

This is her third va, right?

[deep kettle]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they were just a lot more aggressive during Early Access. I personally don't saw that as a good thing, but I don't really like the ice worm too much in general. It just misses a proper way to deal with it.

[crimson pier]

^

[minor apex]

They felt like it, but it might’ve been due to how different the terrain where we encountered them used to be

[crimson pier]

Robin has had more voice actors than women king henry the 8th had

[minor apex]

I really liked the first, didn’t really like the second, and am fine with the third

[crimson pier]

Robin’s second voice actress was

[burnt pilot]

Did she? There were such long gaps between her monologues I didn’t even notice

[crimson pier]

no offense but she wasn’t it.

i absolutely love the cat she owns though

[minor apex]

I thought I knew you from somewhere @crimson pier, the N* server

[crimson pier]

Northstar?

[minor apex]

Ye

[crimson pier]

Oh yeah, nice

[minor apex]

I wonder if they still have the dialogue about the slug

[crimson pier]

what slug

[next current]

Oh that piece of dialogue? Man... that's a very old convo.

It's not in the game anymore.

[next current]

Back in the early days of BZEA, there was two PDA entries that featured a young Robin and a young Sam. Robin was put an alien slug in Sam's hair and it got goo everywhere.

Sadly, it was never voiced.

[stoic surge]

WTH is this

[broken badge]

Idk but it doesn’t belong here

[stoic surge]

Ah, thanks ... TikTok video, hmm

Welp, I am 2/3rds of my way to making my dream sub in my new survival game, just need the aquarium module now 🙂

[broken badge]

I’m playing Subnautica on my PS4 which I realized I never beat the game on that platform lol

[stoic surge]

I'm sure you're capable of getting it done

oh my garsh ... I have found a spot with 17 table corals ... Calypso herself must be watching over me today

[broken badge]

I was in the process of finishing it, I’d done it on Xbox but then BZ came out and I decided I wanted to play it instead and just never got back to finishing it for the PS4 lol😂

[stoic surge]

400 meters north of delta station dock - 120 meters deep - 24 table corals in one location

[broken badge]

Have you ever found that resource loaded cave the one that’s really close to where you enter to find the SOS signal? That’s got multiple ore veins with like 6 copper each, a bunch of table coral groupings, several crash fish/sulfur deposits, argentite for silver and the one that gives gold as well?

It has several oxygen plants inside as well

That place is LOADED

[stoic surge]

Not yet, but now I must 🙂

[broken badge]

It really helps getting started with building early on

[stoic surge]

Yea Verily

[broken badge]

You’ll know the cave when you find it because it has a lot of those stalactites or whatever spiky rocks hanging down from the roof of the cave when you enter (and of course all the resources and oxygen plants etc)

I always put a beacon there for easy reference

Kind of reminds me of the jellyshroom caves roof

[stoic surge]

I'll have to look for it, sounds cool

[abstract panther]

where do i search for the ||architects landscape?||

[stoic surge]

The what?

[abstract panther]

||alan when scanning one of the artifacts says that he knows where another part is saying that the image is hazy and the place is somewhere on the spiked surface||

[stoic surge]

Sounds like you're searching for ||body parts||?

[broken badge]

One of the 3 parts he needs you to find is on land that’s what he’s referring to

[stoic surge]

Maybe the 'stark surface landscape'

[broken badge]

It’s a place called the ||Arctic Spires||

[stoic surge]

Yip

[broken badge]

Once you find ||the glacial basin and Phi Robotics, and eventually locate a bridge and repair that, he’ll give you a clue about which direction to search||

I recently spoke to someone about that region, and I said 'Walk without rhythm' ... he was like HUH?

[broken badge]

Hehe Dune reference

[stoic surge]

I couldn't resist

Even the Devs said the thumpers were a direct ripoff of it

[broken badge]

I kinda wonder if that’s why they removed the name “stillsuit” was maybe there was some concern about that

I mean there’s worms, stillsuits and thumpers OH MY👀

I think it’s kinda neat, a nice homage to a great Sci Fi story

[stoic surge]

All we need now is some Spice

I asked one time if the blood kelp message, 7 of 9 fears is a Star Trek reference (there’s a Borg crew member who’s known as Seven xD)

[stoic surge]

From the Voyager series, I think

[broken badge]

Yeah

The president is a huge Star Trek fan I’m told lol

Another thing I was thinking about last night was, you know the Jaffa Cup plant in Subnautica? I wonder if that’s a Stargate reference

[stoic surge]

Jaffa makes me think of the Yogscast group

[broken badge]

Idk what that is, but sure it could refer to something else entirely

[stoic surge]

Yogscast is a video production group in London that specialize in making game videos for YT and Twitch

[broken badge]

Oh I see, yeah that would also make sense

[stoic surge]

At least two of their members made play through video series on Subnautica and BZ

[abstract panther]

BRUH

i tried to build a large room on the other side lol

[stoic surge]

Wowsers

[abstract panther]

this game

i have no idea how this worked but it worked

why can't i place a bioreactor in the large room

bruh

[stoic surge]

It should go on one of the square center spots

[stoic surge]

Try finishing up that water filter, then the reactor may place

[abstract panther]

BRUH

it worked

which is dumb

[stoic surge]

Nice

[abstract panther]

bro this game gives me brain damage honestly

[stoic surge]

Just imagine what it's doing to Robin

[abstract panther]

in the previous game (not bz) my prawn was getting stuck in architects bases

[abstract panther]

"Some kind of force doesn't let me to build here"

LOL

[minor apex]

aw

[abstract panther]

should i go with a prawn suit or with the seatruck to ||the artifact PK8?||

i want to go there with a seatruck for the quick travel but i want to get my prawn suit in case there will be any deposits, i'm in serious need of resources, send help

[stoic surge]

I don't think the resources there require any drilling

[narrow mortar]

Does anyone know how to program in java?

[stoic surge]

Just us Subnauts here

[keen flax]

same

[stoic surge]

I did a Google search for his name once, he was the only result ... for the first time ever, maybe

[keen flax]

wdym

[stoic surge]

That cat is the only Augstrobite to ever exist

[stoic surge]

Hey, do any of you know if the 'frost anenome heart' regrows after it's picked?

[wet warren]

I just finished iron lung, that I launched because after finishing subnautica and outer wild, i need some thing to scratch my newfound itch for exploration games... and wow. that was something.

Its clearly what I expected from the last act of below zero.

[abstract panther]

i found the ||architect greenhouse|| on land, is that everything or there's more on the island?

[stoic surge]

Are you still searching for the ||body cache|| in that area?

[umbral flicker]

Bruh

I just got killed by some weird thing

In deep twisty bridges

Some sort of leviathan maybe?

[tawdry pumice]

||Squidshark||

Fear it

Or don't

[umbral flicker]

Yeah

That

Also is there anywhere else other than deep twisty bridges to find diamonds?

[solar geode]

yeah its depth related

and some of the penguin places

[umbral flicker]

So ig just anything below 250m you can find diamonds?

[solar geode]

yeah check around the thermal vents in the deep areas

[umbral flicker]

Ok ty

[timber wadi]

anyone know why thermal reactors are so inconsistent? i put some in the lava geyser thing by delta station, and the control room will say my power input is as much as 5.07, before always dropping all the way down to 1.37? i tried adding more plants, moving them, checking transmitter connection, etc. I even added more plants. However, it always ends up back at 1.37 power input. The base is not full energy either. Anyone know what im doing wrong?

[solar geode]

its a glitch with power

i had 3 nuclear reactors and same issue

[timber wadi]

yeah ive been trying out different things and nothing seems to fix it. half of my thermal reactors are at 253C, just one should be enough for my base. But i get about the same output with 1 reactor at 84C

yeah so i put 3 reactors back and now the input is back at +6

[solar geode]

you'll get a larger pool of power which shouldn't drain as quickly

but the power/second or whatever will be unchanged

[timber wadi]

yeah the issue is i want water filtration and can only use 1 rn

i think it has to do with reactors reaching 250/250 power, bc around that time is when the rate plummets. The issue is that it doesnt go back up after the power is consumed

[stoic surge]

Thermal plants follow the same rules as other sources, so if you have more than one, just the first will be providing power until it reaches zero, then the next will pitch in, so the reading in the control room can be weird

[timber wadi]

yeah i just tabbed into say i figured that out with a little experiment lmao

[stoic surge]

cool

[timber wadi]

k so as it uses all the power in one reactor, then moves to the next, both reactors will begin producing power and the rate will rise. Turns out my setup can handle at least 5 filtration machines and hits an equilibrium at 50% power :) thanks for the help guys <3

[stoic surge]

Five filter machines ... my poor Switch would just explode if I built that many

[timber wadi]

yeah im not even gonna keep them all bc i dont wanna deal with the excess water lol

[stoic surge]

I've found once I have the stillsuit I barely ever need 'normal' water bottles

[timber wadi]

ive never used it before tbh

[late turtle]

Are the dev going to send out a "save game" fix for Below Zero?

[umbral flicker]

I got attacked by a chelicerate when I went afk in my seatruck

But i was ok and my seatruck survived

[keen flax]

gg

[quasi hornet]

do you guys have naming habits for your bases

[broken badge]

I just kinda name where they’re at

[potent lion]

Why doesn't this place

[sullen vapor]

do you have something placed near the wall of that other tube ?

[proper trail]

Wait, do you have something placed near the tube or inside/attached to it? That may be the issue

[broken badge]

I can’t tell if the ice piece above is in the way, probably not but that’s also something to be sure isn’t affecting placement (I think any land conflicts show up yellow)

You don’t have a locker or something inside that’s in the way?

[bold monolith]

Three possibilities. Two of them were said. The third one is that you have something at 90° angle that is big enough on your T compartment.

Although I'm curious about what is shown in yellow on your screenshot.

To illustrate what I mean by something at 90° let me show you an example with multipurpose rooms.

You can't place two multipurpose rooms like this, because even if they don't collide visually, they still are intersecting in the way that they use a common cell.

You have to look at them like squares, and they use 9 cells each.

[proper trail]

Oh wow

[proper trail]

Yeah

[broken badge]

I knew that about the multipurpose rooms, but as far as I could see, it didn’t appear they had a multipurpose room in the pic

I did wonder about the yellow thing as well

Although it’s a bit tiny for most collision notices

[bold monolith]

It should be enough, you just can't build on things that have the contrustion obstacle component, no matter how big they are.

[hushed jungle]

So that's why building is sometimes weird

[broken badge]

I guess what I meant is, I don’t know of something that would generate that small of a yellow collision notice (most objects are larger like the big tuberous plants the mandrakes or whatever they’re called)

I guess it could be something besides a plant

It almost looks like a creepvine seed cluster

[bold monolith]

Same thing.

[proper trail]

Yes

[broken badge]

Yeah, I’ve learned that just from building when I have a cross (X) piece extended from a large room, and I want to have a control room and scanner room next to each other, one of them has to have an I section used as an extension piece

[bold monolith]

You can't see if they have a multipurpose room on their screenshot at 90° though. Or even if it is something else.

[proper trail]

Yes

[bold monolith]

But most likely it's due to the yellow bit.

[proper trail]

True

[broken badge]

You can do it this way, although I’m not sure whether I like things built this way yet or not, I’m still experimenting with placements

[quasi hornet]

I'm about to build my postgame base in that same spot! I love the view of the whales. It's gonna be resource heavy but really its just an excuse for me to keep gathering, exploring, etc.

[weak hedge]

How does the game want me to find the ||architect body parts||? I’ve played for hours without receiving any signals and wondering if I missed some sort of clue

I just don’t know what I’m supposed to do

I only have the ||skeleton blueprints||

[bold monolith]

The game only gives you that signal.

The others, when you get close to them Al-An should tell you there is something interesting nearby, and that's about it.

[weak hedge]

Okay :/

[bold monolith]

We could give you some clues.

[quasi hornet]

yeah theres no shame in that. i had to rely on reddit for some stuff, even though i played through OG subnautica blind.

[weak hedge]

Sure! I don’t want to look it up 😢

[bold monolith]

One part is guarded by a leviathan with no eye. The other is guarded by two shadows patroling around purple crystals.

[late turtle]

Any body know how to fix "save game" crashes and losing progress?

[bold monolith]

Every single time?

[late turtle]

I haven't tried playing a second time. I just got the game and played for 9 hours straight when i first started the game yesterday and lost everything. I will play again later today and see if it does it again.

[eternal garnet]

save often. But, if you notice the world stops loading, fish disappear, then don't save. Quit, and load

[bold monolith]

Does it occur when you save or when you load?

[late turtle]

save

[minor apex]

i really need to stop making bases in the worst places

i made one just below the ||vent garden|| because i thought i would have easy access to the ||crystal caverns|| but i got it complete in 20 mins so now i need to deconstruct everything and move on
