below-zero-chat

[unique kestrel]

NOT lookin' for a spoiler. Just...confused.

[crimson quartz]

Alright.

I'll tell you where to go to get to the Crystal Caves

[unique kestrel]

No, thanks.

[crimson quartz]

Alright

[lofty rune]

have you ever been to crystal caves?

[crimson quartz]

Probably try scanning architect pieces

[lofty rune]

i dont think that works for ||organs cachE||

[unique kestrel]

ATM ||Alan is bein' very..quiet. I've cured the levi, found all the bases now, found the satellite, visited marg's bases, and scanned every location that Alan pinged me on||

[crimson quartz]

You are a real grinder

[lofty rune]

that means you're almost at the end of the game

[unique kestrel]

Eh, I prefer lunatic. 😄

Thing is, some of those I Found without prompting. ||Satellite specifically||

[silent path]

The endibg was good. But will the next game be on the same planet?

[crimson quartz]

Who knows

[jolly jetty]

Wait ||the satellite is story stuff? I always scanned it first thing while exploring before alan lmao||

[crimson quartz]

I replied to tha wrong message.

[jolly jetty]

Heard it isnt

[unique kestrel]

No clue on there Playals. I just stumbled upon it.

[silent path]

No above boiling?

[crimson quartz]

I don't know.

[crimson quartz]

Above zero.

[unique kestrel]

||Searching for the greenhouse for margurite is how I did||

[silent path]

Same

[lofty rune]

me too

[jolly jetty]

U got below zero and absolute zero, one is colder than the other, guess which one

[crimson quartz]

Absolute zero.

[jolly jetty]

Yes

[crimson quartz]

No swimming mechanics. Just pure ice

[unique kestrel]

At absolute zero, there'd be no swimming.

[jolly jetty]

Absolute zero is the coldest temp possible

[crimson quartz]

So ice

[unique kestrel]

There's be literally nothing. It's SO COLD, nothing can move.

[jolly jetty]

Like in the universe

[crimson quartz]

You are gonna be trekking on the ice searching for something in the ice

[unique kestrel]

Even outer space isn't absolute zero. It's VERY cold, butn ot QUITE.

[pliant nymph]

why must there be ||squidsharks|| where i wanna go .-.

[lofty rune]

in theory, but as far as we know, its never been observed

[next current]

Heavy BZ story & endgame-ish spoilers: ||Compared to his kind, yes. We are the primitive ones to them. We don't have the ability to transfer our consciousness from place to place or fabricate and upgrade vessels for when our originals bodies decay and break down.||

[jolly jetty]

Ice 7 is ice stronger than titanium

[crimson quartz]

-256 C

[lofty rune]

but the pengwings and other wildlife are more primitive

[unique kestrel]

Yea. This point of the game could use some direction ||So close to finishing the body, but NO clue as to where to go to get the next step. Dammit Alan. Quit bein' evasive.|| 😄

[next current]

Yes, and we would find then primitive.

Not to mention that they've been around much longer than we have.

[crimson quartz]

Yes. For them we're just aliens

[unique kestrel]

Eh, I think atm, it's kind of like comparing humans to ants.

[jolly jetty]

Black faced capuchin has been in the stone age for 3k+ years, meaning we are capturing sentient beings and putting them in zoos

[sour pilot]

Hi just wondering im making a journal/notebook/scrapbook on Subnautica DM pictures of ideas or gear logos
and i need some ideas

[crimson quartz]

|| Alan || won't talk to you unless you get to the || Crystal Caverns ||

[unique kestrel]

Fair enough.

I'll find em. Thanks.

[lofty rune]

there might be something in #🏠awesome-bases

[sour pilot]

ok

thanks

[hot sluice]

The map you scanned in one of the bases will tell you where omega is... asuming you know wha an Omega looks like ||https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/subnautica/images/a/a3/Overviewmap.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20210807004519||

[unique kestrel]

I found it. It just took a while. It was sneaky.

AHA. ||Alan DOES direct yout to the locaiton. It's just semi vague in amongst all the rest of the comments.||

[hot sluice]

You still looking for ||alan pieces||?

[unique kestrel]

I found what I needed just now I think. I had to re-read logs.

[hot sluice]

How dare ||Alan|| respect your inteligence enough not to tell you things straight

[unique kestrel]

Holy crap. YOu guys weren't kidding.

[hot sluice]

Its a bit crystally

[crimson quartz]

And purple

[unique kestrel]

Oh I just lovef the PDA:

Proceed with caution...a CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP

Fine...let's play then. Jerk.

[crimson quartz]

There are actually two.

[hot sluice]

By the way, do you know you can seperate the Seatruck from the rest of the modules and zip around? Stand up look to your left and you will see a lever. Pull it and YOU ARE FREEEEEE

[unique kestrel]

Heh. Yep. You can also drive around individual (or the whole chain) on your own.

[crimson quartz]

I thought i had to manually rip out the modules

[unique kestrel]

SUPERSWIM fins FTW!

[lofty rune]

yup

[next current]

Just use the Perimeter Defense and ignore him.

[hot sluice]

Nope. its something people dont realise. It makes the modules more af a mobile base

[crimson quartz]

It's scary af tho

[next current]

Rip ultra glide fins in vanilla game.

[crimson quartz]

A cyclops in disguise

[unique kestrel]

Eh. I don't have a PDS on the Prawn. 😄

I just have a fist. And that works for me! Let's play...

[next current]

Use the Seatruck and have the Prawn Docked on the back with a Docking Module.

Much easier and safer.

[unique kestrel]

Can't bring it down this deep, unless I like to be the shape and size of a hockey-puck.

[crimson quartz]

Yep

Don't risk your prawn

[next current]

Well then get the Kyanite to do so.

[hot sluice]

Well down here is where you find those hard to reach minerals

[crimson quartz]

Yes

[unique kestrel]

Yep. Found a couple. And a friend.

[crimson quartz]

Get the Kyanite and proceed to whatever your there for

[hot sluice]

Sad thing is I bearly used the Prawn suit in my BZ run. I must play with it when I do a rerun

[crimson quartz]

I never used it. And yet i spent all those materials just to have a robot that i never used. Cool right?

[hot sluice]

Yep! I even made the connector for the seatruck, and I never undocked the Prawn! Thank you devs for the development time you put in for the feature!

[unique kestrel]

The jerks can go through walls....

[hot sluice]

Focus on your mission, satisfying a condecending voice in your head.

[unique kestrel]

Right now, my focus is avoiding becoming dinner. Or making it MY dinner if worst comes to worst.

That and finding nickel ore....

THAT's what the voice in my head is telling me. 😄

[hot sluice]

Well if it grabs you in the seatruck, the Perimeter defense will tell it to sod off

I was swallowed by that thing once... not a nice experiance..

[unique kestrel]

Eh. I just repair the prawn if it tries.

Gets a case of tooth-wear and indigestion from punches to the gut.

Whoa. What the?

THe prawn's depth just went from 900m crush to 700 instantlY?

[hot sluice]

With a depth mk 1 installed its 700 meters in BZ

[next current]

I remember when the Prawn required Reinforced Glass instead of just normal Enameled Glass.

[hot sluice]

accorfing to the wiki anyway https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Prawn_Suit_Depth_Module_MK1_(Below_Zero)

[next current]

This is correct.

[unique kestrel]

I could've sworn it showed 900. Then it just jumped to 700 as I'm JUST about to pass that mark.

[next current]

No DM = 400m
DM MK1 = 700m
DM MK2 = 1,100m

[unique kestrel]

And let me guess. Nickel is below 700? 😄

[next current]

No, it can easily be found in the Deep Lilypad Caves and the Lilypad Crevice.

[unique kestrel]

NICKEL? Never saw it there..

[next current]

It's a little hard to spot.

[hot sluice]

I think I remember it there. ya.

Its a black rock on a black background

[unique kestrel]

Eh, bck up we go.

[next current]

Oooooh... A Nickel Ore Vein would've been cool.

[hot sluice]

Its in the crystal caves too

[unique kestrel]

Meh. I'm just going to raid the truck and just build my scanner outpost then.

[hot sluice]

probably a good idea actually

[carmine bobcat]

Do you guys know where I could find the mobile vehicle bay fragments?

[next current]

Scanner Room or the Mineral Detector are great ways for easily locating Nickel.

[hot sluice]

|| Arctic Kelp Caves, Arctic Kelp Forest, Twisty Bridges||

[carmine bobcat]

I just found them before even you responded me

[pliant nymph]

can someone send me the ||phi robotics|| map rq?

[rose magnet]

can someone help me in subnautica sub zero im new i just made a sea truck

[pliant nymph]

si?

[rose magnet]

vc?

[pliant nymph]

I cant unmute but yeah, whatcha need help with

[rose magnet]

everything

[pliant nymph]

😭

[next current]

@carmine bobcat What version of the game are you playing?

[lofty rune]

what exactly do you need rn

[carmine bobcat]

Aug 2021

[crimson quartz]

Yes. They do.

[hot sluice]

This one? ||https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/subnautica/images/1/10/SpyPenguin_Map.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/867?cb=20210807064056||

[unique kestrel]

Thermal plant: For when the water barbecues your butt easy, but isn't enough to power the base. 😄

[hot sluice]

Uh... well you should look at all the Alterra bases. And check out the distress signals in the twisty bridges

[crimson quartz]

Your base: a gigantic plethora of tunnels and rooms.

[unique kestrel]

Heh. This base is going to be two rooms: Multipurpose and a scanner.

300m down getting toasty, but the base is flippping between power/nopower at 30c water.

[hot sluice]

technically all you need is a pipe you dont need the multiroom 😄

[crimson quartz]

Now that i have finished the game i can do whatever i want.

[unique kestrel]

Eh, I was trying for a bio-reactor. But I Figured..thermal vents..heat.

It toasts me, but isn't enough for the base? go figure.

[hot sluice]

The map of the sector you are provided in game ||https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/subnautica/images/1/10/SpyPenguin_Map.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/867?cb=20210807064056||

[hot sluice]

I think you can use a propulsion cannon to lift the thermal plant closer to the heat

[unique kestrel]

Truly. Is 30c too cold for the thermal to work?

[crimson quartz]

No bioreactor. You can put penglins in there.

[hot sluice]

no it starts working at 25 or so but it does not create much power

[unique kestrel]

I can do......what?

[hot sluice]

One trick is to use a prawn propulsion cannon to move your thermal plant close to head without getting roasted

[unique kestrel]

And nah Unsure. I'd not feed a pengling to it.

I'd rather chop up and feed a levi.

[crimson quartz]

Wow. No more deconstructing thermal reactor and putting it in a different place. The world has changed

[lofty rune]

what????

[hot sluice]

I'm not sure if it works with aa hand held version but it should

[crimson quartz]

I once ordered the genocide of the entire pengling species

[unique kestrel]

? I just built it literally on top of two vents at the same time.

Still givin' me a headache.

[hot sluice]

yes. ancient secrtets have been unlocked

[next current]

That was when the game was in an unfinished state and they had to redo all the story stuff. Don't expect it to be as polished as it is now.

[crimson quartz]

More ancient that the Architects

[crimson quartz]

Emergency power only? Then all primary systems online?? Wtf???

[unique kestrel]

It's just flashing the lights on/off in the base.

[crimson quartz]

I'm having problems comprehending that phrase

[crimson quartz]

Well.. DISCO

[crimson quartz]

Yeah just find another place.

Or just put bioreactor or nuclear one

[lofty rune]

me who thought that was a prawn suit 💀

[crimson quartz]

Thermal is just too much for me

[unique kestrel]

I had a bioreactor for a bit. But this area is a little sparse for life.

[hot sluice]

Cant you grow some plants in a growbed in there?

[crimson quartz]

Build another one

[unique kestrel]

I didn't bring any atm.

[crimson quartz]

Farming on an alien planet. Seems legal

[hot sluice]

hrm. seems time to go get plants

maybe theres some mushrooms or something you can grow in an exterior bed around there

[crimson quartz]

I just plant ribbon plants. Cause i play on freedom mode.

And only ribbon plants

[unique kestrel]

I have yet to build a nuclear power plant.

in either progrma.

But, now you know why I build a multipurpsoe room.

[crimson quartz]

Cause its multipurpose

Don't you need uranium for nuclear rods?

[unique kestrel]

Yep. Got some here somewhere.

[crimson quartz]

Then i switch to bioreactor. Where i'll feed it penglings for life

[hot sluice]

I wouldn't waste Uranium on a scanner base

[crimson quartz]

Infinite POWER!

[unique kestrel]

@carmine bobcat Look around the location. YOu'll spot something to scan.

[hot sluice]

You scan the things around it. you get a recipie for stuff. make stuff. install stuff

[unique kestrel]

NOW...off to find nickel. Finally.

Many fishies died to power this scanner.

[crimson quartz]

Their sacrifices will not be in vain

[unique kestrel]

Aaand now it's time to feed it gelthingies and the acid plants.

[crimson quartz]

Is that a mineral scanner?

[unique kestrel]

Nope. The big brother of the hand-scanner.

[crimson quartz]

The scanner room

[unique kestrel]

Si.

[crimson quartz]

I guess it is useful. But it drains energy from your base. TOO MUCH

[hot sluice]

Where you get deep arcane knowlage beamed into your mind

[unique kestrel]

500m range scan, with a hud popup for each one?

Compared to the hand-scanner, I'd take the room any day of the week that ends in Y.

[crimson quartz]

Which is every day of the week.

[unique kestrel]

Precisely.

[crimson quartz]

No more mineral scanner

[unique kestrel]

if it had a lot more range, sure. But it has..what? 25m?

[crimson quartz]

The scanner room is much more advanced and much better at finding stuff

[crimson quartz]

25m. Yes. That's all it is. 25m

So that means its useless

[unique kestrel]

Throw in that the scanner room can be set to start scanning at max range, and you can go to sleep...and wake up to a full screen of markers. 😄

[crimson quartz]

And if you have that scanner room chip in your goggles. Be prepared to see the world in markers

[unique kestrel]

Yep. Only downside is also its blessing. LOTS of markers to find, but it also means finding a SPECIFIC thing, such as your base a pain.

[crimson quartz]

And your seatruck

Imagine running out of oxygen and you can't find your seatruck because its in the midst of other markers.

[unique kestrel]

No imagining. I've done it. Had a second tank, so I got out..but whew. Close calls.

[crimson quartz]

I did a mega clutch.

At the bow of the Mercury

I remember seagliding across the bow and it's very CLAUSTROPHOBIC spaces. I was mere seconds away from suffocation when i reached my seatruck

Or drowning. Whatever you want to call it

[unique kestrel]

I am still kicking myself for not realizing that you could take off/put on the mining attachment on the prawn in the field. I seriously thought you had to go back to port.

Then again..that's probably true for ALL attachments/mods to them. Crap....

[hot sluice]

ya you can swap upgrades in the field all you like

[unique kestrel]

Yea. I playd long ago. Bck then, you had to do it at the cyclops/pool IIRC.

I feel smart...

[last minnow]

So, how long do I have to explore Sector Zero before ||I find the one Tim Hortons that still has extra timbits?||

[unique kestrel]

Are there no medical fabricators to scan in BZ?

[proper trail]

Nope. There is one in a base but unscannable💔

[carmine bobcat]

in below zero, when i start up everything is normal, but 10 to 20 minutes in, it always starts to lag, a bit, then 10 minutes later more, and then more.

[tough gyro]

Settings?

[carmine bobcat]

graphics are set to high automatically, but i have above the recommended/needed stats

[tough gyro]

Is your RAM being overloaded?

[carmine bobcat]

2.5 GB / 8 GB ram being taken by subnautica, but it still has memory to work with

[gritty fjord]

hello, i have the error 80004005, i can’t save my game and i have a progress of 3 hours

how can i resolve this?

[hot sluice]

Restart your coimputer basically. yes you will lose everything you have done since your save

[proper trail]

Yeah

[carmine bobcat]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Subnautica_Below_Zero/comments/q81yko/save_data_saving_failed_error_80004005_try_again/

maybe use google

[gritty fjord]

i already saw this, it says nothing

[hot sluice]

ya google is what I did

[gritty fjord]

i don’t want to lose 3 hours of progress

[hot sluice]

<https://www.reddit.com/r/Subnautica_Below_Zero/comments/s88gmt/subnautica_below_zero_error_80004005/ > This said they guy hat to rerstart hisgame

[hot sluice]

I know but it seems to mean the game has gone corrupt

[proper trail]

Yes

[gritty fjord]

ohhh :(

[hot sluice]

Sorry

I save often now. I wish the game had autosave to be honest

[proper trail]

Smh

[gritty fjord]

me too

[proper trail]

Yeah

[carmine bobcat]

Too complicated for subnautica dev team

[proper trail]

Yeah

[carmine bobcat]

Its literally like 20-50 lines of code

[proper trail]

Dang

[gritty fjord]

that’s sad

[gritty fjord]

yes

mann i will lost 3 hours of progress

brooo

[proper trail]

That's awful

[gritty fjord]

i got like 60 rubi

[hot sluice]

well it never takes that long to get where you were as you have the knowlage to make it go faster

[proper trail]

Yes

Btw Suranis, I love your avatar

[hot sluice]

thanks 🙂

[gritty fjord]

so i can’t resolve this problem without restarting the game?

[meager sequoia]

cara n sei

oh wait english chat

[gritty fjord]

oxe

ué kkkkkkkk

[meager sequoia]

what

[gritty fjord]

portuguese

[meager sequoia]

yea

brazilian btw

[hot sluice]

if you want to chat on pourtugese go ahead

[meager sequoia]

nah im trying to talk english

in a good way
without grammar errors

[hot sluice]

Better than most English speakers then 😄

[gritty fjord]

im bad lol

[meager sequoia]

dawg thanks

[meager sequoia]

at english?

[hot sluice]

Ya

[hot sluice]

Yes. I'm sorry. you will have to restart your game

[eternal garnet]

Only help I can give: Save often, 2-4 times an hour. But: if the world and fish stops loading, do not save. It could destroy your save. Terminate BZ and load a save.

[meager sequoia]

connection terminated

[carmine bobcat]

lets gooo i found alan

[eternal garnet]

you let him touch your brain

[unique kestrel]

I think I get this already, but to verify BEFORE I do it:

A prawn ||attached to the seatruck will NOT take damage if it's below its crush depth, yes?||

[eternal garnet]

no it should not

[pliant nymph]

hey chat i just met gant worm

[eternal garnet]

Does it make sense? No...

[gritty fjord]

ya

[meager sequoia]

a

[hot sluice]

Its because the Seatruck's Mechalgnalogenic Force flows through the Prawn and reconfigures the tachyon flow through the Main Deflector Dish

[meager sequoia]

idk

[meager sequoia]

burgler

[gritty fjord]

ok thanks

[unique kestrel]

....Get into seatruck. Take truck ot non-crush depth to replace crush module.
Jump out of seatruck, jump into prawn. Fall back to base to build part.

....go back to seatruck to get part needed to make new part.
begin facepalming.

[eager sapphire]

welp 2 chelicerate's vs 2 shadow leviathans

[stoic surge]

Let us know how it turns out

[eager sapphire]

under the biome

[stoic surge]

Yes, plenty of sparring room there

[proper trail]

Yes

[eager sapphire]

bruv

[stoic surge]

Are they duking it out?

[eager sapphire]

They went away

[stoic surge]

Oh ... bummer

I read somewhere if you drop a hatched creature, like a sqidshark, near a shadow, it will attack the squidshark instead of Robin

Not confirmed, tho

[unique kestrel]

Reemmber folks: X key on keyboard is auto-swim.

[stoic surge]

I wonder if the Switch has this

[hearty tulip]

Love this PDA line. You can hear the sarcastic tone in her robotic voice

[lofty rune]

lol

[stoic surge]

I think I still prefer the pda voice in the OG

[deep kettle]

I find the accent the PDA voice has to be too strong, it makes certain things difficult to hear or even impossible at times.

[past pollen]

same... the voice in original SN was much better i think

i just find it too commanding... and... well... iron... the original was soothing and calm

[hot sluice]

The OG game was better at hiding that she didn't give a bleep about you. I like that in a woman

[stoic surge]

The pda voice in the OG is a text to speech package, we can buy it for our own devices ... I'd love my navigation app to have it

[deep kettle]

xD

[past pollen]

cant have it for BZ pda tho

[deep kettle]

But here this is what I mean: https://youtu.be/QUi_T1r1AwM?t=2371 (with time stamp).

Ignore the rest of the video if you want to, but the first 2 played voice lines are a perfect example of what I mean. Also I absolutely love this video btw, not for the topic or whether or not it's true, just for the fact that he decided to probably spend 2-3 months on editing and stitching it all together 😛

[hot sluice]

Im surprised there isnt a voice mod to change it

[deep kettle]

Probably because it's a decent amount of work, I've seen the modders who made the big leviathan mod for the first game about how annoying it was to do the sounds for that. I don't think many people are interested in replacing everything.

[stoic surge]

That first message he plays, I don't think I've heard that one in-game

[deep kettle]

Not sure, but it comes down to the idea. There are voice lines that are just difficult to understand, let alone if you're not a native English speaker who may already have trouble with voices regardless of accents.

[past pollen]

i do need to read the subtitles most of the time for bz tbh

[stoic surge]

Perhaps I should have a sip of my 'dirty bean water'

[unique kestrel]

OKay..so dumb late term story question. MAJOR SPOILERS! You are warned:

||So I hve to build the body. Alan says the location to do so is in the depths...but then..nothing. There's a LOT of "Depths" out there. Is he supposed to just speak up when close, or something?||?

[hollow fern]

I read the subtitles as the characters say it so if I don’t understand it I can just read it

[lofty rune]

yep

[past pollen]

||i actually ran across that place when looking for body parts... its in the red crystal area||

[hollow fern]

Basically go as deep as possible not in the void

[hot sluice]

||You knw that purple crystal area. Kiid going to the end and down and it becomes a red crystal area.||

[hollow fern]

Major Spoils||Wish that I could make the parts as my base and just had to bring them down there instead of bring the materials down||

[stoic surge]

I think, for it to be a ||medical facility|| it sure is in an inconvenient location

[hollow fern]

That is a good point

Why would u put it that deep

[stoic surge]

I know, it's all in the plot, but duuude

[hollow fern]

In sub it kinda made sense but bz makes none

[past pollen]

well this guy really does explain why i dont like BZ... and i indeed just get tired and irritated by it... and its long noodle caves system

as i mentioned... the map probably would look like a plate of spaghetti

[stoic surge]

or Ramen

[hollow fern]

Not to be rude to the devs but to me below zero feels like a rushed game to capitalize off the success of subnautica

[past pollen]

actually... ramen describes it even more accurately... noodles dont turn that sharply...

[stoic surge]

We all know, as legendary a game as Subnautica is, anything that came after would pale in comparison, even if the Devs worked for years

[past pollen]

well you know how it is... if you make a successful game... there is going to be next episode that is kinda forced out and never as good... there are many great examples... im just sad that subnautica bz followed suite

[stoic surge]

But this is also why the third game will be happening on a different planet

[past pollen]

lets hope they put as much effort into the map as they did in the first game...

[hollow fern]

Yea I feel like they should almost do the persona route of make good game make couple spin offs then a new major game repeat

[carmine bobcat]

Ight so finally got Below zero bois
Pog
Scanned a few things sea truck 2/3 ykyk

Seaglide and all.

Now my question is
I have no idea where to go or what to do

[hollow fern]

Alr

Did u get the distress signal yet

[past pollen]

this kinda sums up the game tbh 😄

[carmine bobcat]

Nah literally just started game like 30min into it

[carmine bobcat]

Lmaoo noooooooo

[stoic surge]

Unlike the OG, Below Zero has alot more guidance happening, just read the PDA entries and you'll know what to do

[hollow fern]

Yea double check your pba worse comes to worse u just explore for a hour

[past pollen]

i was looking for maida for 3 hours... i dont think they are doing that good

and then another 2 hours ||for her on her farm on an iceberg||

i was on creative mind you

[carmine bobcat]

Ight ight ty lads

[hollow fern]

No

Problem

[next current]

||Her ice berg is on the Alterra Facilities Map.||

[stoic surge]

I will actually recommend you Don't read up too much, games like this one will give much more satisfaction when you uncover information yourself

[hollow fern]

The start of below zero is really good then as soon as u find ||alan|| the game dies

[stoic surge]

In my current game, I'm actually avoiding him, lol

[carmine bobcat]

Ik ik i have watched abit of gameplay ending yk
Like once
But that was when it came out so im totallly clueless

[barren atlas]

I personally feel that the game takes too long for the story to kick off

[stoic surge]

I think you will enjoy it greatly by not having all the info at the beginning

[hollow fern]

I think the game should land u in the small bit of water outside glacier bastion to give u the option to explore land or sea

[past pollen]

i think my negative feedback is starting to become ranting at this point... so ill just stop for the sake of not being disrespectful to the devs

[next current]

How long do you plan on going without him?

[carmine bobcat]

Dont know what biome is what

What creature lies there

And overall ore spawns
Etc

[next current]

Become a researcher and study.

[hollow fern]

I wonder can I scan all his parts and artifacts without him

[stoic surge]

Preferably forever, but we know some things will only unlock if he's nearby

[next current]

Yeah... the 4 caches.

[hollow fern]

Anyway my seatruck is now 99 modules long

[stoic surge]

Yep, we only really need him to be able to ||Leave the planet|| which I'm not planning on

[stoic surge]

Dude

[past pollen]

ah... seapiercer... 1001 cars long

[next current]

Hey, I had 150.

[stoic surge]

My Seatruck has just one module

[next current]

Ewww...

[hollow fern]

My plan is to cross the entire map with em but I can’t find resources anymore

Aka titanium i basically have unlimited of the rest

[next current]

I made my Seatruck in between major updates.

So that way the resources respawned and I could farm up more.

[hollow fern]

I don’t want to deconstruct my other projects

[carmine bobcat]

where can I find lithium?

[next current]

Purple Vents.

[carmine bobcat]

[next current]

Purple Vents for Early Game and Arctic Spires for Late Game.

[carmine bobcat]

hmm

[hollow fern]

Ya know what biome I didn’t check for titanium yet the red crystal biome do ores spawn down there

[past pollen]

who else thinks that the horseshoe shrub looks weird... and questionable

[hollow fern]

The one with the nuts 🥜

[past pollen]

yeap

[hollow fern]

They look fine

[stoic surge]

On an alien world, anything can happen

[past pollen]

just me then i guess 😄

[next current]

You're not the only who has said something like that. Bit I still can't see it.

[hollow fern]

Prawn or snow fox

[past pollen]

snow fox if you want a headacke 😄

[hollow fern]

I know

The only thing it’s good for is floating like a boat

When I use it I go too fast for the map to load so i just get stuck

[past pollen]

i dont even have that problem... for me its just too clunky

[hollow fern]

Yea I get randomly stopped or I fall threw the map if I get off

[next current]

I dunno why people hate the snowfox. Minus it bobbing around everywhere, fragility, and not the best controls.

[hollow fern]

I just stick to ol reliable prawn

[next current]

It's got a good recipe and is the fastest vehicle in the game.

[broken badge]

I just walk, mostly. And use snowfox a bit

[hollow fern]

The issue with that is I’m too lazy to get a snow suit

[deep kettle]

You just named most of the reasons why people don't like it 😛

[next current]

Sounds like a you problem.

[next current]

Well you wish.

Oh I know you do, Thom. You wish.

[deep kettle]

What? xD

[next current]

Ooooh you wish.

[hollow fern]

The world would be perfect if the snowfox could go max speed on top of the water

[broken badge]

I just want a beacon for the MVB (which has been turned down, makes no sense smh)

[hollow fern]

MVB?

[next current]

Mobile Vehicle Bay

[hollow fern]

Oh ok

[next current]

Anywho... just put down a beacon next to it.

[stoic surge]

I usually leave mine bobbing around above my drop pod, never have to look for it

[broken badge]

But that is just clutter to put a beacon next to it

[next current]

I mean... it's an extra piece of Titanium and Copper but who cares...

[lofty rune]

well it would be better if it had a beacon tho

[hollow fern]

I usually pick it up when I’m done with it from habit of crashing into it with my cyclops

[lofty rune]

there arent any cyclopses in below zero

[broken badge]

If you move it then you’d have to move the beacon, it’d be so simple to just add its own beacon imo

[next current]

Ahh yes, the small white oval with orange sacks on the side clutters up a lot of space.

[lofty rune]

well it does, visually

[hollow fern]

From habit of regular sub

[deep kettle]

That's quite the description lol.

[next current]

It's the truth!

[deep kettle]

I never implied it wasn't

[next current]

It's a small white oval with orange sacks.

[broken badge]

Floatie wings like kids wear in a pool lmao

[sharp peak]

._.

[hollow fern]

Looks about right

[broken badge]

Did you fall thru the ground?

[next current]

I still think the beacons should be a 1×2 item instead of a 1×1

[deep kettle]

no please

[hollow fern]

No I don’t

[broken badge]

Eww no

[next current]

It makes sense!

[hollow fern]

I want to bring one around

Without pain of

Having my inv full

[deep kettle]

Also unpopular opinion but both games need less beacons / signals xD

[lofty rune]

it does, but i dont think it would be better for the game

[lofty rune]

yes they do

need less i mean

[hollow fern]

Yea that would be nice especially for below zero u can’t breath with Alan being like go here go here

[next current]

Ohh boo hoo.. You're gonna be missing out on an extra inventory space.

[broken badge]

I used to wish we could rename beacons in the menu, but pda pause now makes that far less necessary

[past pollen]

actually i kinda liked having beacons that lead me forward... i would have been rather lost in subnautica for the first time i played it...

[next current]

Agreed.

[lofty rune]

pda pause is the best feature in the game

[broken badge]

I turn most the beacon/markers off

[deep kettle]

But mean while does want a beacon for the MVB 😆

[broken badge]

I do, because there’s so much floating ice and stuff you can’t find the damn thing

In Subnautica you could see it cross map lol

[past pollen]

that is the problem with BZ... in subnautica it was nonexistent

[next current]

Speaking of inventory item size... I'm glad the Snowfox was changed to be a 3×3 item.

[deep kettle]

Slicey

[next current]

Like... a year ago.

[deep kettle]

Sir. Slicey.

Why is this so important to you 😂

[carmine bobcat]

Sir Thom

[next current]

4×4 seems a little too excessive.

[deep kettle]

Hello.

[carmine bobcat]

Why you have the same pfp as this server icon

[deep kettle]

That's not the case.

[sharp peak]

not again

[next current]

I don't know. Why are you so handsome?

[pliant nymph]

chat i finally found it

[broken badge]

Thom is a fish, obviously😛

[deep kettle]

That took a sudden turn

[next current]

Well now we're even.

[deep kettle]

I'm not sure what "it" is but nice 🙂

[broken badge]

Testing area?

[next current]

Anyways... like I was saying.

[lofty rune]

is it ||a spy pengling cave||

[next current]

I'm glad the snowfox only takes up 9 slots instead of 16.

[deep kettle]

I want a Seatruck in my inventory 👀

Would make life much easier.

[next current]

Same.

[pliant nymph]

imagine if u can just shove the seatruck in ur back pocket im-

[deep kettle]

We need a video similar to that Minecraft one where someone calculates what the heaviest things are Robin/Ryley can carry.

[stoic surge]

Ryley can carry all the parts to make a Cyclops, that's pretty heavy ... maybe

[past pollen]

yes... shove around 10 cars of the seatruck into your back pocket... id love to see how robin would look like

[deep kettle]

Tune the stretch bug images.

[broken badge]

Used to the cyclops could be put into inventory (wasn’t deployable but lol)

[past pollen]

heh... that reminds me of a commercial where a woman stopped the car in the parking lot... and the car packed itself into a briefcase... she picked it up and went into the building...

[stoic surge]

Ah, a fellow member of Team Freedom

[pliant nymph]

i wish there was a button on th snowfox where u can honk and scare off certain creechurs, just imagine ur driving through a tunnel and u just HOONK and u tokyo drift into a stop, with a honk to see this while ur pda stops the moment

[deep kettle]

I play both these days honestly xD

[past pollen]

now imagine a cyclops folding itself into a backpack sized briefcase 😄

[deep kettle]

But usually Freedom yes.

[past pollen]

or a seatruck smashing into a briefcase like an acrodion 😄

[broken badge]

Freedom gang

[stoic surge]

When you are riding and switch the lights on/off you can see Robin's thumb press a button

[stoic surge]

Somehow I can hear the sound of an autobot transforming

[broken badge]

When you’re used to playing on Xbox & PS4, then change over to Switch and you’re in the presence of a cheli and think you’re hitting the button for the PDS but instead, you’re actually ejecting yourself from your seatruck

[past pollen]

well... it is kinda the future... but i could hear the acordion sound when imagining the seatruck doing that 😄

[deep kettle]

Just don't go down there

[broken badge]

Luckily the cheli just wanted the seatruck and didn’t care about me😅

[stoic surge]

Or always play on the Switch, lol

[deep kettle]

Yes, but no.

Clearly you must follow the ritual of switching console every day 😛

[broken badge]

I play on switch and either Xbox/PS4 daily, but usually I’m not switching to play the same game on those platforms daily (that would just be too brutal for my brain lol)

[deep kettle]

I haven't had a console in years I think, unless my standalone VR headset counts I guess xD

The last one I had was probably an Xbox 360 that I really used.

[pliant nymph]

AGRESSIVE COUGH i need help

[deep kettle]

LESS AGRESSIVE COUGH what's up?

[pliant nymph]

so basically im lost on the route i took to meet the|| big dead leviathan||, i might have to leave dave the|| snowfox...||

[deep kettle]

I'm not quite sure how to help you if you don't know where you are xD

[pliant nymph]

xD just outside the ||purple tree place||

[deep kettle]

Go back to the trees 😛

It's somewhere around that area.

[pliant nymph]

oh god ||my snowfox|| just broke, alright (teleports)

[storm imp]

Is it normal that I got no databank entry from scanning ||Architect Artifact N6M||?

Oh wait, I already had the ||ground sampler||.

[gritty fjord]

[past pollen]

this guy actually makes a more realistic story for the game tbh...

[fierce root]

does the docking module charge the prawn?

[broken badge]

The docking module does not charge the prawn. I didn’t think it did but I checked with the wiki as well

[fierce root]

k

[turbid pike]

i smell pennies

[next current]

Sir and/or ma'am, this is a Below Zero discord channel.

[pliant nymph]

why does pda know how to bring the mood just crashing down at times

[gritty fjord]

where are the save files in the pc?

of the microsoft store

[fierce root]

idk

i use steam

[broken badge]

There’s some along the walls of the deep lilypads area what I call the cotton anemones place

[next current]

Same.

[gritty fjord]

i can’t manage my save files in the microsoft version?

[stoic surge]

There's also quite a bit in ore veins in the glacial basin area

[proper trail]

Because you need a thermos. Craft one, then put one in the machine. Coffee give s +50 body heat and -2 h20

[stoic surge]

You'd be better off eating the fever peppers

Yes, the peppers are awesome

The peppers are also good fuel for bioreactor, unlike the tuna rolls

[hot sluice]

wonders how much fuel for a bioreactor Nemo would generate

[stoic surge]

first you have to find him

[hot sluice]

darn slippery...

[stoic surge]

The wiki has a chart showing the energy value for all the items you can use

[vernal moss]

The things that hang out around Delta last some time

[stoic surge]

You mean the Crypto's?

[tepid quest]

Deep Lilly pad caves is the name I think. It’s actually one of the coolest areas in the game imo

[stoic surge]

It does have some nice ambiance, and all those cotton anenomes are super yummy for my bioreactor

[hot sluice]

Bioreactor...hungers...

[tepid quest]

I’ve experimented with bases down there. Couldn’t ever fit a whole lot, which is a shame :/

[stoic surge]

As a Switch user, I have to keep my bases small anyway, lest my FPS starts to drop

[tepid quest]

Ah, makes sense. As a pc player, large bases have never been an issue.

[keen timber]

a shadow boi glitched into it for me once tho

[vernal moss]

Yeah

[keen timber]

dont know how likely it normally is but could happen

[vernal moss]

So what do you all do to stay interested in playing BZ after beating it?

[keen timber]

nothing

[tepid quest]

Base building. I have a run going on right now and I’m just building a base. Then I think I’ll make another base. And another. There is no end to the base making.

I’m just early in the playthrough (no ||prawn stuff||) so I don’t have access to large amounts of reseources yet. BUT AS SOON AS I DO

I’ll have a base in every single biome

[vernal moss]

Fair enough that's a though I had so you recommend starting a new playthrough for that or just going with my main save?

[stoic surge]

One of my favorite things is exploring areas where we don't normally go, like the NE passage

[vernal moss]

I was thinking a land base would be fun but I have a feeling the terrain wouldnt accomadate what I would want

[tepid quest]

It might be easier to build bases on your main save, but a new save could be fun as well. It’s all up to you.

[vernal moss]

I personally feel BZ lacked some of my favorite parts of Sub

[stoic surge]

Are you wanting to build some kind of huge base?

[vernal moss]

Yeah

I would go for a research base similar to ||those already in the game||

[stoic surge]

One spot I found interesting is the passage going south from the Dummy's base, toward her thermal plant farm

LOTS of minerals in there

[vernal moss]

Dummy's base?

[stoic surge]

Yes, the Dummy

[vernal moss]

Who's the Dummy?

[stoic surge]

You know, "Whee doggy, you're on mah turf!"

[vernal moss]

Ahh

[stoic surge]

Do check it out, meanwhile I must log off a while, ttyl

[vernal moss]

Thanks, See ya!

[storm imp]

Woah

[neon ermine]

I feel liek I am not progressing at all

I only found the rebreather yet nothing else. Also this mineral detector is funky I get it to work when I swim away from visible nodes

[vernal moss]

Your main place for fragments is ||sea monkey nests||

[neon ermine]

Yea I got the ones in grassy area and I haven't found some. I tried going to the signals but they too far down and this detector isn't even finding fragments nearby

now my base has no legs support just floating ^.^

[stoic surge]

As long as you can use it still, no legs needed

[neon ermine]

So I went all around that || Delta base, checked outside. Go the alien thing. Any important thing I may have missed? I got the jukebox but I didn't find music I think. ||

[jolly jetty]

tree

[stoic surge]

Did you scan the rooms? Did you find the builder tool?

[neon ermine]

I got the two rooms, builder, even the || shaving kit ||

[jolly jetty]

did u get the beds

[neon ermine]

This game like last is triggering my I prob missed something so I should just stop playing thing

Yea

[stoic surge]

Good, we don't want Robin's mustache to get bushie

[jolly jetty]

yes

[storm imp]

Oh my goodness ||baby sea monkey|| is so cute

[stoic surge]

Yea Verily

[stoic surge]

As long as you didn't pick up the beacon at the dock, you can always go back

Some players even build a base there

[jolly jetty]

it went away for me after i got there

[neon ermine]

Mine still there

[jolly jetty]

its never stayed for me

[neon ermine]

but you can pick it up and put it back down no?

[jolly jetty]

i never picked it up either

[stoic surge]

It may have just become inactive, should still be in your beacon manager tab

[jolly jetty]

true

[stoic surge]

So, going to build a base soon?

[jolly jetty]

ima say hi to bitey again :3

this is bitey

[neon ermine]

I have built a base

I also made the mistake thinking fish breed in the aquarium

[stoic surge]

May I ask where you built?

[jolly jetty]

he is my fluffy friend

[neon ermine]

near the pod for a free waypoint lol

I prob move it later like I did in the first game

[stoic surge]

Nice ... My favorite spot is off the eastern coast of Delta, so I can tap that sweet heat for free power

[neon ermine]

I just tried out the acessibility options, dunno what lightning strikes are but that highlight ineractables is too strong lol

[jolly jetty]

its usually used for people with vision issues

[neon ermine]

there should be an opacity option for it as well

or how strong dunno the word for it

It helped me find some stuff thru the bushes that I personally would have never seen but the outline is too bold

[jolly jetty]

yea thats the point

[neon ermine]

I have to use it in most games

as a lot of the colors used blend

[jolly jetty]

the highlight feature is bold so people with vision impairment issues can see them

[neon ermine]

I can't see anything in the first zrea and second area of the game -.-

[jolly jetty]

wth is this

[stoic surge]

That's a place you should visit for story stuff, and scans

[storm imp]

||maida bomb go brrr||

[neon ermine]

touch it see what happens

[hushed jungle]

omega lab

[proud finch]

I have a base near life pod should I move it

[neon ermine]

Is there a music disk near the box when you first find it?

[stoic surge]

The Jukebox?

[unique kestrel]

Storyline question (MAJOR MAJOR SPOILERS, DO NOT LOOK!)

||So I've got all three parts ready to be made. However, I have ZERO clue where to go. Does Alan just say "Here!" When you get nearby, or do you just retrace your steps, or what?||

[stoic surge]

Do you remember the area with big purple crystals?

[unique kestrel]

Vaguely. Had a nice big unfriendly fisH?

[stoic surge]

Yeas, you'll want to go back there and then ||eastward, and down, to area of red crystals||

Do you have all ingredients?

[unique kestrel]

Yep. ||Just tryin' to find the location. THat spot you're talking about is deep below, down where youf ind kyrinte and such?||

[stoic surge]

Yes, east, and down ... take the seatruck, not the prawn

[unique kestrel]

Aye. Takin boht.

[stoic surge]

If you take the prawn, it will be eaten

[unique kestrel]

||By the shadow?||

[stoic surge]

Yeas ... something about it aggro-ing even when you're not in it

[unique kestrel]

||If you are SPECIFICALLY talking about the shadow leviathans...uh, they're not a problem.||

[stoic surge]

Are they gone?

[unique kestrel]

They are now.

[stoic surge]

All four?

[unique kestrel]

Avoid, strike one. Avoid, strike two. AVoid, strike three.

Time to strike back.

Oh, four?

Hrm, looks like I've got some more work todo.

[stoic surge]

Sounds like it ... Or just take the Seatruck

[cinder tangle]

was there supposed to be anything important past this

[lofty rune]

ye

[cinder tangle]

really?

[lofty rune]

mhm

[cinder tangle]

i couldn't find anything that important

besides one|| architect room with a lot of ion cubes||

[lofty rune]

||al-an's skeleton||

[cinder tangle]

bruh that's dumb

i had that before i even got there

[stoic surge]

I think the ||tissues|| are that way tho

[lofty rune]

oh

yea im an idiot

[next current]

You are correct.

[cinder tangle]

where is it

i looked for like half an hour and i couldn't find anything

[stoic surge]

The ||bones are in deep lilypads||

[next current]

Depends on what version you're playing on actually.

[stoic surge]

North-east

[unique kestrel]

Hrm, how many of the zaps does it take to down a ||shadow||?

[hushed jungle]

kill it?

[unique kestrel]

Or knock it out. WHatever ya care to call it. These things just are all over the place.

[hushed jungle]

one

[unique kestrel]

Yea..it takes a LOT more then that. I've zapped them at least 5-6.

[next current]

50 fully charged shots.

[unique kestrel]

Yea, somehow i doubt that too. 🙂

[next current]

The perimeter defense does 100 damage.

A shadow has 5k HP.

Sorry... not 500 attacks.

[eternal garnet]

A little truck bump does massive damage. Esp. with afterburner.

[hushed jungle]

@next current thanks for telling me what warpers were in 2019

[next current]

Uhhh... yw.

[hushed jungle]

just said thanks

never thanked you lol

[unique kestrel]

One down. No afterburner, but I did have the prawn with a fist and a grappling hook.

Just ride em like a bronco. 😄

[next current]

Again, yw.

[hushed jungle]

yes

[unique kestrel]

Wow, a second? I guess the first one was the second that tried to hit the cab.

Two down.

[next current]

mhm great...

[cinder tangle]

thanks

[unique kestrel]

Eh, I'd be more favorable to them, if they'd leave me alone for more then 10 seconds after the zap.

[cinder tangle]

also how do you get snow stalker fur

[unique kestrel]

@cinder tangle They don't like YOU, but what do you perhaps have that they ignore?

Or what can you make?

[cinder tangle]

cooked food?

idk i just killed one

[unique kestrel]

Think more researchy. What were the people doing there? What was SAM doing?

[hushed jungle]

spy penguin or then go inside their caves and look for some

[cinder tangle]

ohh that makes sense

[unique kestrel]

Heh, tryin' to be subtle with my hints. 🙂

[cinder tangle]

ye i like that

[unique kestrel]

Question: Does the jukebox in the base/sub drain its power? If so, how badly? I figured it would be one of those 'ghost' drains.

[next current]

No, the jukebox doesn't drain power.

[unique kestrel]

o7

[hushed jungle]

annoying how seatruck jukebox drains power

[next current]

sigh....

[hushed jungle]

I left my seatruck jukebox on with low power and went to sleep in the crystal caves

[unique kestrel]

Heh. Well, got lost in the zone, and stumbled my way back out. Gah. Time to go back in and get lsot again...

[hushed jungle]

you need to go to the place after crystal caves

[unique kestrel]

I am there. Still lost.

[hushed jungle]

so you need to find your way through it

it will be pretty obvious once you see it

[next current]

This is actually true!

[unique kestrel]

Fail 😄

[hushed jungle]

yeah it sucks

[next current]

I think it's dependent on the volume you're playing music at though.

[unique kestrel]

Fishrock Jamboree 2022!

[next current]

Yes it is. More power is drained at louder volumes.

[broken badge]

I’ve only made a sleeper unit I think once or twice.

[next current]

😌 I love being able to use BIG SHOT while testing stuff in BZ.

[hushed jungle]

that sucks

[broken badge]

It’s nice to have the music, but I just never really think about making it tbh (the sleeper unit)
Plus adding it to a storage, fab and docking module makes it just a little too long for navigating (just imo)

[hushed jungle]

I made one then it broke when I backed into it trying to connect

[unique kestrel]

Eh, it also destroys any speed you might be able to get. Especially since, apparently, youi can't stack hte horsepower mods.

[broken badge]

I’ve accidentally blown up modules that way, so I’m always careful to connect manually

[next current]

Yeah... the modules are fragile when it comes down backing up the Seatruck.

I just use the handles at the top.

[hushed jungle]

makes no sense for them to be that weak

[broken badge]

Seems like a bug, idk, because I’ve had a module at 100 health just get brushed by my cabin (I wasn’t even trying to connect it was incidental contact) and it went POOF💥

[hushed jungle]

yeah

sh4dow did you see when timothy online yesterday?

[broken badge]

Nope, haven’t seen Timothy in ages lol

[hushed jungle]

he was here yesterday

for like 15min

[unique kestrel]

Blergh. This ||redzone ||is confusing. Fourth time now I've tried wanderin' in to find the way through. Still can't find the whatever it is I'm supposed to see to guide through or whatnot.

[hushed jungle]

the place is like right at the entrace

[broken badge]

I still get turned around down there, but eventually I find it

BZ ought to be called Subnautica: Arctic Maze Runner Edition lol

[unique kestrel]

Yea, no kidding.

[hushed jungle]

fr the game is a literal maze

[broken badge]

Everything is like a damn maze😅

[unique kestrel]

Woudln't be so bad if ||freakin' ALan would speak up. I mean, come on bud. Surely you can't give me a LITTLE clue? Use the force, Lu..er..Alan|| 😄

[broken badge]

Arctic Spires is the worst tho imo

Everything looks the same

[hushed jungle]

everything on land is bad

[next current]

I like the land parts.

I want more of it.

[hushed jungle]

do you like the snowfox too?

I hate both of them

I hate the snowfox more tho

[broken badge]

I don’t get all the hate for the snowfox

[hushed jungle]

the controls are horrible

[broken badge]

It’s a bit wobbly but it’s not that bad

[hushed jungle]

other than that it is fine

[broken badge]

At least it warms your butt😂

[hushed jungle]

I don't need a portable but warmer

[broken badge]

Lol

[unique kestrel]

Okay, really. I'm stumped. I end up just doing a large circle and ending up leaving the other entrance.

Where am I supposed to go in this ||red-hell?||

[hushed jungle]

prawn controls are also bad

[hushed jungle]

blue

near the bottom at the entrace if I remember correct

[next current]

They're not that bad. I am able to get through most places without damaging it.

How? Experience.

[broken badge]

I carry everything in my inventory and only take the cabin down since the ||shadows will attack your truck and you’ll end up having to park the cabin between a wall and a big crystal|| not sure you want to know that ahead of time but that’s the one disadvantage to taking multiple modules down there

[lofty rune]

use the seaglaide map

[hushed jungle]

the boost jump usage in air while moving

[broken badge]

I wouldn’t seaglide down and get eaten by a shadow👀

[hushed jungle]

but thats fun

[broken badge]

That’s a weird definition of “fun”

[next current]

UGHGHHHH...

Fun: "enjoyment, amusement, or lighthearted pleasure:"

[unique kestrel]

Yea...and the crowd asks "Why do you kill the leviathans?"

Well, gee. That's simple. Because it's a freakin' maze that is going to annoy the heck out of me (And the bot HATES The "i am angry" word that starts with P) on top of creatures not only 1, trying to both destroy my vehicle and/or eat me, but also drain my power.

Heh. 😄

End of hte day, I STILL end up takin the seaglide for the map. 😄

Doesn't the truck actually HAVE a sonar system? Wait..no...

[next current]

Study the layout. That's what I do.

Use the compass to your advantage.

[lofty rune]

well i get out of my seatruck to use the seaglide map (only time that ever comes in handy for me), then i find the place that seems off, ||like a room next to the void||, and i take my seatruck there
no idea if that makes sense or not

[broken badge]

I’m guessing since most of the cave systems are fairly narrow, you can navigate them visually (which makes sonar less of a compelling feature)

[next current]

Wait....

Shadow... are you a... Shadow Leviathan?!?

[broken badge]

[unique kestrel]

Eh. IMO, that's the player's choice if it's useful or not.

[next current]

I knew it!

[broken badge]

Well where would it go? The accessories slots are all taken

[unique kestrel]

I'd trade out the horsepower mod for it.

As it is, I only have 3 of the four used. Defense, depth and horsepower.

[next current]

But Afterburner is so gud...

And the recipe is easy to get.

[broken badge]

The devs don’t seem to favor trading spots for things.
Like I’ve argued before it would be nice if we could equip the headlamp instead of a HUD chip but that doesn’t mean that’ll ever happen (the headlamp is otherwise useless since it takes the place of the rebreather and there’s not a lot of use for it on land)

[unique kestrel]

Aye. I will never understand the need to switch between the two.

It's a box with a light and a battery. On a strap.

SURELY you can..oh I dunno. WRAP IT OVER TH TOP of the rebreather? It's going to go on your forehead/on top of your head, not between your eyeballs or on your nose.

[broken badge]

A proper diving helmet or scuba gear would have an inbuilt light imo, so yeah it’s pretty infuriating we can’t wear both that and a rebreather

[proud finch]

Man I found the||frozen leviathan but I need the penguin remote to get the cure|| so I need to go all the way back to my base to get it

[broken badge]

There’s actually stuff inside the cave of the ||frozen thing|| to make a spy bot I’m pretty sure if you look around, if you have a seatruck with fab module with you

[proud finch]

No I don’t

Frick!!

[next current]

Rude.

[broken badge]

I see, yeah then you’ll have to go to your base

[proud finch]

I already don’t have the remote I just put it in the locker by accident

I don’t have a beaker should I leave a penguin to mark the spot or take it

[next current]

The only thing I can think that's used in making the Spy Pengling is Silicone Rubber.

I got those two confoosed.

[broken badge]

I think there’s one of each in the cave, silicone rubber, fiber mesh, and synthetic fibers

And lubricant as well

[proud finch]

Yup

[broken badge]

There’s also a wiring kit

[next current]

You know what? I haven't mentioned "Silicone Rubber" since a little after EA12

That was November of 2020.

[unique kestrel]

I did NOT just see wehat I think I saw...

[next current]

Sorry... that was wrong.

Stoopid Bot!

Shadow. I want this bot banned. He rude.

[broken badge]

How dare anyone be rude to Slicey

It’s ok, there there

[keen flax]

automod is annoying agreed

[next current]

He... hick he wouldn't let me do the "Clickbait Ha-Ha Funny Frolo Broke Out" joke.

As a dedicated fan, I think I deserve automod protection.

[keen flax]

or devs can update automod

[broken badge]

Actually we don’t have those perms

[keen flax]

then who does?

[broken badge]

Devs

[next current]

Arty!!!!

[next current]

I love this emote btw. It represents my inner child.

[proud finch]

||where is the cure for the frozen leviathan?||

[lofty rune]

in a ||spy pengling cave||

[eternal garnet]

on the phi map, there's a red mark. Check it in pda

[proud finch]

In the tree beom?

[eternal garnet]

no, but not far

[proud finch]

I don’t think I have the phi map

Is it in logs nd comms

[eternal garnet]

database, Alterra / maps

[proud finch]

I only have altera facilities map

[eternal garnet]

it's this

[proud finch]

Yea I don’t have that

[eternal garnet]

well, you do now

[proud finch]

Yuh ty Ty

[eternal garnet]

it is heavily simplified

[proud finch]

Is the thing in the middle ||where Sam works||?

[eternal garnet]

that's Phi, yes

[proud finch]

Alr ty

Imma try to figure it out

Oh it’s across the bridge?

Why’s there a bridge there

[eternal garnet]

no! North on maps is up

[proud finch]

Oh whoops

[eternal garnet]

Alan tells you about the bridge when you go near

[proud finch]

Nvm I’m still lost

I’ve already opened the bridge

[eternal garnet]

you can see the tree area.

[proud finch]

This shouldn’t be this difficult idk why I’m struggling

[broken badge]

I never found it using the spy bot map
I ended up watching a YouTube guide, the spy map just didn’t help me

[unique kestrel]

Aaaaand complete.

That was.....wow.

[eternal garnet]

yes, there are YT videos for every problem

[broken badge]

And I consider myself good at reading maps I just felt I went where the map said to go, and found nothing there

[unique kestrel]

I used the in-game map as well. Had zero luck.

[broken badge]

Did you enjoy the ending?

Made me want another game, like now😂

[rugged meadow]

Another Subnautica game or riot

[next current]

Patience, my friend.

[neon ermine]

The seatruck has an upgrade for solar recharge or something?

[broken badge]

No. You’ll need to charge it in a moonpool or swap out the power cells and charge those in a base with a power cell charger

[proper trail]

Yeah, either is good

But I strongly suggest a moonpool and powercells (green)

[graceful girder]

Anyone wanna Vc and talk about the game

[carmine bobcat]

Below zeros atmosphere is both Beatiful and scary

[stoic surge]

On Human maps, yes, on Dwarven maps, up is East 🙂

[carmine bobcat]

Question:

Does the Air bladder thingy work in BZ?

It didnt in base game i think

[stoic surge]

Yes, it works much better now

[carmine bobcat]

Thats great to hear

[next current]

That's a mod I believe.

[carmine bobcat]

Jesus just got that one area with the ||Cryptos|| those things r scary

[stoic surge]

I could see a possibly mid-game module with solar panel on top, and a regular battery charger inside on the wall, like the fabricator ... maybe a locker as well

[carmine bobcat]

Oh lord

Theres smthin there oh god

[next current]

Oooh. That would be cute.

[next current]

They just wanna kiss kissy.

[carmine bobcat]

I aint kissin smthin that has 4 mandibles

[stoic surge]

It would have a high practicality rating, don't you think?

[carmine bobcat]

Let alone a smaller and a bigger boi

[next current]

Perhaps.

[carmine bobcat]

Just to be on the safe side

Does turning on ur light on ur sea glide while u swim decrease the battery more

[stoic surge]

If so, it's not a large amount, and the batteries can be switched out ... be sure to keep them and recharge later

[carmine bobcat]

Will do, chief

[next current]

His name is not Chief, it is Kaveta.

[carmine bobcat]

Made a seatruck storage module, tried to connect it, it exploded. yipee.

how are yall doing

[cosmic adder]

how do i break this?

[ancient sail]

Laser cutter if I remember correctly

[next current]

Attach it via pulling it up to the back of the Seatruck with the handle bars.

[vernal moss]

Laser cutter from the interior of the cave

[next current]

You have to use a Laser Cutter on it. However, it can only be cut from a cave across the bridge.

[proper trail]

Omg. What are those?

I never heard of those.

[proper trail]

That.

[next current]

They're thick walls of ice that require a laser cutter to cut through.

[proper trail]

Ooh. What lies within?

[next current]

Could be Alterra technology, could be Architect technology. Who knows?

But if you must know... ||It's both||.

[cosmic adder]

BRUH... i got stuck the third time in 2 days in this game and lost some progress

[eternal garnet]

save often

that ice door is a shortcut back that you can open from the inside only. it's not required

[next current]

It's not required unless you're a true gamer.

[quick terrace]

I love that emoji

[next current]

Same.

[carmine bobcat]

@next current Are you okay?

[next current]

Yeah...? Why wouldn't I be?

[carmine bobcat]

You look like your always online

[next current]

I am just someone who has a lot of free time on his hands.

No need to worry about me.

[eager sapphire]

I need this!!!

[next current]

Bruh...

Answer your 3 pings.

[carmine bobcat]

Where do you live we have same time

[eager sapphire]

Netherlands

hey I need help

[carmine bobcat]

i live in czech

[eager sapphire]

this screen just keeps hanging. it started just after I downloaded the mods. I can hear the menu sound. anyone can help? I already tried to disable and re-enable the mods

[eternal garnet]

broken mods. Remove them

are you on steam?

[eager sapphire]

how???

[eager sapphire]

yes. for mods to work must I set subnautica on normal version?

[eternal garnet]

you absolutely can't use experimental

switching that off might fix it

[eager sapphire]

already did it. so I have to unistall the mods and re-install them?

[eternal garnet]

you are so confusing. When did you switch to standard?

Were you on experimental when you installed mods?

[eager sapphire]

now

[eager sapphire]

yes

[eternal garnet]

try the game

[eager sapphire]

still the same

[eternal garnet]

Delete the Bepinex folder from your Game Directory. Test

[eager sapphire]

bepinex???

yay it is fixed

[eternal garnet]

You could attempt mods again

[carmine bobcat]

do monkey nest fragments respawn? i cant find the 3rd ultra high cap o2 tank fragment anywhere

[next current]

No.

[storm imp]

This should have the locations of all of them: https://subnauticamap.io/belowzero?pois=aurora%2CseaMonkeyNests

[carmine bobcat]

thanks

[pliant nymph]

how deep is ''||Architect body cache||''

[next current]

Which one? There's 3 of them.

[next current]

About 500-600 meters.

[pliant nymph]

so i cant take my prawn OR my car (seatruck)

[next current]

Yes if you have the proper depth modules.

[pliant nymph]

how deep is prawn mk1?

[hollow fern]

Prawn starts at 500 I think mark 1 is 700 but I may be mistaken

[next current]

700m

[pliant nymph]

i can pretty much make mk1 now- i just need a diamond for the glass

[next current]

Sounds simple.

[next current]

The Prawn's base max depth is 400.

[hollow fern]

Oh I don’t play below zeros early game often

[half ermine]

I recommend you take the seatruck down

or dock the prawnsuit onto it

[pliant nymph]

im to broke for a docking module rn, i needa get storage and fabricator module first

[carmine bobcat]

Im broke that I can't even build a fabricator, so you should be happy lol

[pliant nymph]

lol

[storm imp]

Got the nasty boi scanned. Only took three medkits 😅

[lofty rune]

i scanned it too, with no medkits 😎

(but i was in creative)

[storm imp]

that doesn't count

[static holly]

totally counts

[pliant nymph]

i love these things :)

[gritty fjord]

guys where can i found || Flowering Spore||

[deep kettle]

In the ||Deep Lilypads||

[pliant nymph]

is it possible to dodge a ||squidshark|| or how do i kill it

[gritty fjord]

thanks

[deep kettle]

You can totally dodge it, although with vehicles it may depend a bit I guess.

[pliant nymph]

a|| seatruck||

[deep kettle]

If you have a lot of modules then probably not, if you just have the cabin then I think it should be fine.

[pliant nymph]

its just the cabin, i should repair it if im gonna try and dodge

[storm imp]

Hello there, ||Shadow Leviathan||. You're shorter than I expected.

[ivory wedge]

Is it true that achievements become disable after you use a console command?

I had a bug where water disappeared and I couldn't walk back to my seatruck ....

[deep kettle]

In general yes, if you use console commands and save then on that particular game you won't get achievements any more.

[ivory wedge]

That's pretty bad, especially since there's no warning to players ....

How do I report this to the devs?

[deep kettle]

I don't think there's really a direct way to suggest it other than just discussing it in channels like these. We don't have a suggestion channel and the forums which had one are now locked 😅

But I do think they are pretty aware of it, console commands and it disabling achievements has been a thing for a very long time.

[storm imp]

Apparently I have a pet hoopfish now.

[pliant nymph]

aww a pet, whatre u gonna name him

[deep kettle]

Don’t touch it.

Unless they fixed that bug, not sure.

[pliant nymph]

how do i get a ||squidshark|| out of exactly where i need to be?

can i agressively boop it with my prawn and itll go away

[hot sluice]

you could try using the seatruck perimeter defense to shock it out. it you hold down the button it charges up onto an area of effect attack.

[pliant nymph]

whats amazing is i just got that, itll be like a handshake

brb gonna kill the entire squidshark population /j
