[eternal garnet]

but, on land, on switch, it might fall thru the ground

in SN1, beacons and tools never drop

[ocean flame]

i know for a fact that it works that way in BZ because i did it on accident like 4 times exploring the ||mercury 2|| wreckage

[carmine bobcat]

just got the mk-1 upgrade for my seatruck. time to go to the pilot

[glass wagon]

When you realise you overestimated the shadow leviathans size rather than underestimate it

[carmine bobcat]

Is that the weird snake looking thing when you're loading up the game?

[glass wagon]

It’s the black and red leviathan in the fabricator cave, I’m pretty sure there’s multiple loading screens so idk if that’s the one, but it has the blue claws on the bottom

It might be I think I have seen that loading screen

[eternal garnet]

I have no monsters on my loading screens

[pearl estuary]

I got stuck on the mobile vehicle bay someone know how to get unstuck?

[carmine bobcat]

I think that happened to me in the original game. I actually don't know how I got off, I just sat there and eventually I got kicked off

[crimson anvil]

new base :)

im surprised that the lantern tree can live in such a cold climate

[next current]

I love the Stairway + bulkheads.

[pearl estuary]

pain

[crimson anvil]

they just land hatches

[next current]

Yee. I am aware.

[crimson anvil]

ah ok

yeah so imma put all my plants outside for a change

[next current]

I'm glad they're coming to SN as well

[crimson anvil]

except the water plants

they go inside

im really annoyed BZ didnt implement the same system as the original where all scannable plants would drop seeds you could plant elsewhere

[ocean flame]

please for the love of god dont tell me the worm fella is attracted to my prawn

[crimson anvil]

just look at this guy

i want him in my base

[ocean flame]

a friend

[crimson anvil]

yes

scaly maw why

[ocean flame]

i do not like the ice worm. i do not.

[crimson anvil]

you were there from the beginning, of the early access of SN this was the only part of the prototype twisty bridges

[ocean flame]

dont you love it when the game crashes after not saving for 20 minutes

[olive quail]

doesn't the game autosaves after 10 mins?

[eternal garnet]

never autosaves.

[olive quail]

well for me it does

[ocean flame]

luck you

2nd time this has happened

when will i learn

or not i saved like 10 minutes ago heck yea

darn i lost a music disc

[carmine bobcat]

where you can get lithium from in the early game?

[eternal garnet]

deep twisty bridges, or purple vents east of delta

You do want to explore deep twisty bridges anyway. Important stuff there

And it's got o2 plants

[crimson anvil]

and you can bring bladderfish to chomp down on in an emergency

[ocean flame]

or nutrient blocks if you have enough

[carmine bobcat]

but i only have standart oxygen tank

[ocean flame]

is it just me or is the grappling hook buggy on land

like i can go mach 2 if i do it right on land.

[eternal garnet]

it's a little bit overpowered on land. Enjoy

[eternal garnet]

you need the rebreather. Find it at 170m depth there, by a crane. The large tank is also there at 120m by a little building tube

so maybe do that first

[carmine bobcat]

ah i know the tube i was there but didnt got it

[eternal garnet]

it has window and builder tool to scan also

[crimson anvil]

no im talking about the oxygen from bladderfish

[eternal garnet]

The air bladder tool can also provide oxygen, 10s I think. It's worth making, it's much better than in SN1

[crimson anvil]

yes but to be honest

[next current]

I believe it's about 10 seconds of oxygen.

[crimson anvil]

you can find so many bladderfish in the shallow twisty bridges and use them as your main oxygen supply going deep

[ocean flame]

do these architect cables or whatever i keep finding have any significance or are they a red herring

[crimson anvil]

in the twisty bridges?

follow them

[ocean flame]

no on a glacier in the west

[eternal garnet]

that one kinda points to the phi dock. Ignore the ice door it goes to - that's an exit only

On land, cabling points to a body part

[carmine bobcat]

can you give me a direction?

[ocean flame]

i found it before the game crashed but now i cant find it again

and theres a snowstorm so i cant see a damn thing

[eternal garnet]

120m depth, twisties, tiny I tube building

[ocean flame]

and my prawn is almost dead ruh roh

[crimson anvil]

the tech site under the phi area? that area is really cool

[ocean flame]

dont you love it when you accidentally clip though the terrain and almost fall into the endless expanse below

[crimson anvil]

yes

as long as you are still swimming

[carmine bobcat]

thank you. i died because its so buggy

[paper thicket]

will there ever be multiplayer in subnautica?

[eternal garnet]

probably only nitrox, which is a fan project

for BZ there is another fan project, but it is very incomplete

[paper thicket]

it would be good if there was multiplayer i think more people would buy the game

and people on console cant get mods so it would be a good idea

[hot sluice]

Well, Multiplayer needs you have to worry about transmitting world data across networks and so on. It adds a ton of work. Also no-one here is a dev so persuading us is a waste of time. 😄

[paper thicket]

i was just saying it would be a good idea ha

l

[hot sluice]

You can edit your posts on discord

[paper thicket]

ok

[deep kettle]

The developers have said they won't be adding multiplayer to the original Subnautica or Below Zero. As much as I would love multiplayer my self I think it's a horrible idea to try and port one of the two existing games to a multiplayer version. That said who knows what the future will hold for us, I'm still kind of hoping for the next game to feature a co-op and singleplayer mode. But I guess time will tell 🙂

[halcyon sinew]

Does the scanner room range upgrade stack?

[deep kettle]

Yes.

[halcyon sinew]

wonderful! ty for quick response

[eternal garnet]

glitched thru the ground. Can you load a save?

click Quit, it tells you, with Yes/no buttons

[hot sluice]

Looks like you glitched through the ground as you were bouncing around all over the place

[lofty rune]

nothing

[eternal garnet]

air, then sea under that

why are you like that? Save 4 times/h

[hot sluice]

Ya I save every 15 min or o

[storm imp]

I save every 2-3 minutes or less

[eternal garnet]

that's a bit excessive. Also don't save when parking your prawn to build something very deep

Because something else eats parked prawns

[storm imp]

yeah

[storm imp]

I've had an excessive amount of crashes.

[eternal garnet]

sorry

wait, on steam? it's really stable

[storm imp]

epic games

[eternal garnet]

should be fine, questionmarks around MS store version tho

[timid crest]

Wait what exactly’s eating parked prawns?

[eternal garnet]

the ||shadow leviathan||

he does not eat parked trucks

[storm imp]

blame it on windows and asus' bloatware

[timid crest]

Ohh ok. I didn’t know if you meant that or the ||ice worm||

[storm imp]

installed on linux, it only crashes 1-2 times per session

or wait

original sn does

[hot sluice]

The ||ice worm|| wouldn;t go after something standing still. its attracted to vibrations

[eternal garnet]

I can run it for 8h fine, then it might start loading slower

[storm imp]

bz might be a bit less

[timid crest]

Right true, I forgot about that

I’ve heard a few people say you just shouldn’t bother making a snowfox because of that, and you’ll be better off exploring with a prawn

[hot sluice]

I actually explored it on foot. It was fine.

[fossil bridge]

Why is these games like this? I'm getting stuck on everything, and I can't get out of this one...

I got out!

[eternal garnet]

I duinno. Save often

[fossil bridge]

I do.

Too bad F5 doesn't quicksave. Would be pressing that as often as I do in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

[storm imp]

that can usually be fixed by jumping or maybe opening the pda

[fossil bridge]

PDA didn't work, but after jumping multiple times, plus getting juuuuust the right angle, I got out.

The amount of times I've gotten stuck on terrain is insane. I was getting stuck in the Prawn suit in the first game, on terrain that was flat.

[eternal garnet]

in bases, yes

[fossil bridge]

Wasn't in a base.

It was at one of the Precursor locations at the end of the game..

[eternal garnet]

that... is a base

[storm imp]

yeah

[fossil bridge]

I mean, yeah, it is, but was that what you were talking about? You would probably have said "Precursor location" if you were talking about that.

[eternal garnet]

yes. if you think about it, you can't prawn inside human bases

[storm imp]

prawn is a verb now?

[eternal garnet]

why not

[deep kettle]

I prawn, you prawn, we all prawn.

Don't ask me if that's correct because I don't English

[hot sluice]

To Prawn or Not to Prawn, that is the question

[storm imp]

does anyone even english?

[fossil bridge]

Foundations do exist, though.

[storm imp]

that's just one perfectly flat surface, not the intricate detail that precursor bases have

[fossil bridge]

I mean, sure. But, like, why does the terrain have to be terrible to walk on?

[storm imp]

idk
game development is complicated

[hot sluice]

There was a glitch in SN that Prawns could sink into the floor of Precursor Bases.

And maybe Prawns are not designed for use out of the water...

[storm imp]

what's odd is that prawns on natural, lumpy terrain work better than precursor terrain

[hot sluice]

Dunno. Never bothered stomping around with a Prawn. I'll do it in my next playthrough

[storm imp]

That's what I've experienced.

You actually can't get the prawn in most precursor bases in bz

[fossil bridge]

It's Unity, though. I've worked with Unity, and there's ways to fix this kind of thing.

[harsh storm]

Does anyone recall the name of the PDA file in ||Maragrette's greenhouse?|| I scanned ||Margarete|| while listening to the PDA and it got lost - as in i dont remember what PDA it was.

[storm imp]

I don't, but the wiki does.

[eternal garnet]

there's two. One about blowing up Omega etc, one about growing plants

[harsh storm]

the one about omega

Do you know the name of the file by any chance?

[storm imp]

"Just A Couple of Friends, Talking" I think
https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Marguerit's_Greenhouse#PDAs

[harsh storm]

thanks!

[upper lodge]

So ||Alan|| told me to go to a place with crystals, could someone give some vague directions to get there?

[graceful girder]

This is my cargo dock rn

[eternal garnet]

in purple vents there is a tiny wreck with just one room. Go deep, under there

[graceful girder]

And I found these guys

[broken badge]

Ahh yes the dangerous weather peeper xD

[graceful girder]

Yea

And the help step criptocucus I'm stuck in a small cave

But does anyone have an idea for a cargo docking area

Bc putting it on my large room is getting boring and hard to get to

[broken badge]

At some point there will be an upgraded moonpool with some improved docking option I think, but we don’t know when that’ll be incorporated into the game

I know it does get messy with the modules just kinda floating about

I put mine along the outside of my moonpool. I don’t have many extras though, really just the docking module I sometimes take off, and one extra storage. I’ve gotten to where I don’t make much I don’t use

[fathom escarp]

What's the best source of growing food when you have a base setup? Growing fruit in growbeds?

[broken badge]

Pretty much, since there’s no growing food inside a seatruck. There’s an aquarium module that will catch some fish while you drive but it’s not perfect, I’ve heard it also catches pengwings or maybe it was penglings I forget, but stuff you can’t eat regardless

[fathom escarp]

Alright

and can you only grow one fruit at a time in the growbeads? I am reading this correctly?

[broken badge]

No, they’re the same interior growbed from Subnautica

They’ll hold 4 large plants

[fathom escarp]

exterior growbeds?

[broken badge]

The 2x2 plants, they can hold 4 of those
No you need the interior growbed for inside bases

[fathom escarp]

Can I grow fruit with an exterior growbed?

[broken badge]

Do you need to know where to find that?

Yes it can grow marblemelons, Preston fruit, Chinese potatoes, Lantern fruit, fevered peppers, shrub nuts etc

No you can’t use exterior growbed inside

That’s why it’s called exterior

[fathom escarp]

I know that...

[unique dragon]

2 moonpools next to eachother should create a super moonpool and remove the seperating wall

[fathom escarp]

Can I use my exterior growbed which is sitting outside to grow fruit?

Is it the same thing as an interior growbed just sits outside

[unique dragon]

no

exterior it is for water plants, like creepvine

[fathom escarp]

okay

Will go find an interior growbed and some fruit

[broken badge]

You can grow plants in it that grow in air outside, like fevered peppers maybe, if the exterior growbed is above water

[fathom escarp]

thanks

[unique dragon]

also the fruit from delta island

[broken badge]

Yeah probably shrub nuts and maybe other stuff as well, you could experiment

[fathom escarp]

So I need to go to outpost zero to find this?

[broken badge]

In Subnautica lantern fruit can grow outside as long as it’s above water, so it might in BZ idk.

That’s where you get the interior growbed, yes

[fathom escarp]

hell man that's so far away from me lol

[unique dragon]

damn i mustve missed it

[fathom escarp]

I was there once before bummer I missed it lol

[broken badge]

And there’s lantern fruit as well

It’s kinda off to one side

[grizzled umbra]

Hellu - rq - where do I apply upgrades to the ||snowfox||?

[broken badge]

It has a little accessory panel on its side

Where you can put the jump or ice worm attack reduction module

[grizzled umbra]

ahh, yass - it has to be not docked for some reason in order to open it ^^ thanks!

[unique dragon]

training for alterras prawn police program :)

[grizzled umbra]

how tf has it so much health? :o

[eternal garnet]

game mods

[grizzled umbra]

welp ^^ pretty impressive jumpage

[echo latch]

I warn yall i have freds shaving kit and im not afraid to use it

Also what is this game's equivelent of a hoverfish

I need another stanley

[eternal garnet]

Noot fish?

in lilypads

[echo latch]

Not cute enough

[eternal garnet]

it's noot?

[echo latch]

What abput spinner fish thing

[eternal garnet]

that's evolutionally improbable

[echo latch]

Just like the hoverfish

Sometimes i hate and love that subnautica and below zero have no save feature, like when i was stuck in the crystal caves amd i lost my prawn suit about 5 times

[lofty rune]

lol

[echo latch]

Quick question is there supposed to be 4 ||Shadow leviathans|| in the crystal cave simultaneously?

[eternal garnet]

yes, but spread out

[lofty rune]

i think so, or maybe its 3

[echo latch]

Really because they all seemed to want my prawn suit

Like bad

[lofty rune]

i recommend seatruck

[echo latch]

Lesson learned never gp anywhere alone with the prawn suit

[hot sluice]

The Antanne plant is a good one to grow in exterior growbeds as it produces fruit you can eat

[echo latch]

Lets put the names of all our vehicles for the hell of it

[unique dragon]

No no no

Prawn suit, drill arm, grapple arm = Death Machine

I've slain atleast 20 leviathans with it

[hot sluice]

Oh god were comes the Levi killer flexing

[echo latch]

Sea Stanley (Emergency Seatruck), Crusader (Main seatruck), Last hope (Prawn suit), And Shay Cormac (SnowFox)

[echo latch]

Ot wont let me use grapple and drill simultaneously

[unique dragon]

PC?

[echo latch]

Switch

[unique dragon]

Maybe a switch issue

[echo latch]

Maybe

I use just regular hand

On prawn, does more damage in short bursts

[hot sluice]

You dont need to kill levis anyway. they dont really hurt a prawn much

[grizzled umbra]

How much water do I need to filter and throw in the bin in order to have the game play only on land?

[echo latch]

Bull, i had three of them and they destroyed my prawn suit many times

[hot sluice]

A full tank of water will last you about half an hour, so judge on that

[hot sluice]

Where did I say they don't hurt a Prawn. But if you look at the amount of damage they do its not much compared with other vehicles. Like 20% tops. You can easilly repair that while the Levi is turning around

[echo latch]

True but realistically there are gonna be more on your tail

[hot sluice]

Uh... Levis are single creatures dude. You are only ever attacked by one

[echo latch]

Naw man i got attacked by 3

Shadows too

[hot sluice]

3 Shadows. No. Way

[echo latch]

What ze hell how u have e 600 hp??!!!

[echo latch]

Im not jokin dude im serious

[storm imp]

that was cool up until you started attacking the cheli.

[unique dragon]

LHA Leviathan Hunters Association, proud to support

[echo latch]

Out of context that sounds wrong

[echo latch]

Yo cud i join u guys

[hot sluice]

And I know theres only 4 shadows in the game, and all 4 have way different patrol paths. the only way you could be attacked by 3 shadows is if you dragged one to another and then dragged those 2 down to the red crystals somehow,

[unique dragon]

red crystals ive fought 2 at the same time

in the other area of crystal 1 at a time

[echo latch]

I was around 690-700m deep

[storm imp]

how about the edit?

[hot sluice]

Sorry, not believing it. In reality you have plenty of time between attacks to hop out and repair your prawn, and inventing multiple leviathans attacks is just an excuse.

And thats all I will say on the subject. Peace to you all 🙂

[unique dragon]

[storm imp]

I think I got attacked by all four shadows at least twice on one trip, but they were all on separate occasions.

[clear siren]

How'd you manage that? As was said earlier two of them are close together so that part makes sense but getting the other two over there as well?

Seems like something you'd have to do deliberately

[storm imp]

they were on separate occasions and I was going to the ||fabricator base||.

never more than one at a time.

[echo latch]

I applaud you good sir for not defending your pride, you have my respect

[dull mirage]

Spoilers: so after i visit the greenhouse on the iceberg east the delta station, i took the PDA searching for the next story mission but i cant find anything other than the cave experiment thing, Didn’t say where or when but i think i got lost on the story and don’t know where to go next

[hot sluice]

Not much pride left to Defend. 🙂

[clear siren]

Explore on land more to get additional parts of the story. Also have you gone to the distress signal in Twisty Bridges yet?

[eternal garnet]

Have you found Phi robotics?

[dull mirage]

Phi who

[unique dragon]

phi robotics station

[dull mirage]

The what

[dull mirage]

No idea what that is?

[echo latch]

Alright men, im going back into the caves

[dull mirage]

Robotic station

[clear siren]

Twisty bridges is the biome in the banner art for the server

[dull mirage]

nope

[clear siren]

this thing

[echo latch]

Ima bout to send the leviathans a friendly get well letter

[hot sluice]

Do you have the map you got on the wall in Delta?

[dull mirage]

Ye

[echo latch]

With the arm of my prawn suit

[hot sluice]

Well Phi is the green dot on the right

left I mean

[dull mirage]

Oh

Thats the next story thing?

[eternal garnet]

rewind a bit. Didn't find a distress signal source?

[clear siren]

Med go to this biome, and explore around for the source of the distress call

[eternal garnet]

yes. this

[hot sluice]

Ya the Dot dot dot dash dash dash dot ot ot signal

[unique dragon]

autofiltered

[dull mirage]

Oh the distress signal, didnt go there

[clear siren]

Go to it

[dull mirage]

Yessir

Oh kk ty

[unique dragon]

distress signal will lead you to more story stuff

[hot sluice]

ya, thats a really omportant part of the story

[clear siren]

And then also explore on land later

[dull mirage]

Explored

[clear siren]

But distress signal is very important

Not the island, the mainland

[dull mirage]

I got 3 cubes thingy

Ye the mainland imma head there

[unique dragon]

alot more than 3 ion cubes to find

[clear siren]

You've explored Delta island, but if you don't know what Phi is you have yet to explore that

But first distress call

[hot sluice]

No... do the distress signal first...

[dull mirage]

K

[hot sluice]

distresss siiiiignallll.

Not that we are hinting or anything

[dull mirage]

I just dont care about the pda thing unless the story says i have to

[hot sluice]

BZ does not hold your hand like subnautica does

[clear siren]

Subnautica is very much exploration driven

[unique dragon]

the distress signal is morse code so its required you learn morse code over this week

[clear siren]

Wdym subnautica holds your hand, bz does more than sub1 does

[unique dragon]

you have until friday

[dull mirage]

💀

[hot sluice]

it gives general hints and then leaves you to explore. Its something people like and hate about it

[hot sluice]

BZ does not drop markers on important places

[dull mirage]

Whats bz

[unique dragon]

below orez

[dull mirage]

Oh

Bz was easier for me

[hot sluice]

Anyway. distress signal

[clear siren]

Subnautica gives you lifepods but that's about all, bz gives more direction for what you want to do

[dull mirage]

Since i came to the game literally blank and didnt care/didnt know it existed about story on sub1

[hot sluice]

Well doing the Distress signal is neccesery for completing the game...

[unique dragon]

ʍolǝq zero

[dull mirage]

K ty

Most annoying thing is thirst and hunger

Especially thirst

[unique dragon]

thirst

make the tablets

[eternal garnet]

So there's a game mode without thirst+hunger. Freedom.

[dull mirage]

I made the thing to save beverages idk how to use

[clear siren]

Make a grav trap and catch fish that way

[dull mirage]

Ye but it gets boring and not challenging

[unique dragon]

coffe mahcine?

[dull mirage]

Idk what to add for it to work

[clear siren]

And now that you've found the greenhouse make fruit salads they're op

[dull mirage]

And no i meant the equipment thing

[dull mirage]

Actually good idea

[unique dragon]

thermos uses coffee machine, but it sucks, you need to make soma these

[dull mirage]

Ye i stole those

[hot sluice]

The thermos flask? you use it on a coffee machine and then when you use the flask it adds 50 heat and -3 h2o

[dull mirage]

Never seen that

[unique dragon]

craft it https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Frost_Vase_Plant

gives you a big +50 water bottle

i made 40 of them

[dull mirage]

But then storage

[unique dragon]

only need 2 bottles per journey

[dull mirage]

I need like

20 cause i take long time

[unique dragon]

then use seatruck or prawn storage to bring extra

[dull mirage]

Seatruck has storage?!

[clear siren]

Get an aquarium module then to catch fish on your journey

[dull mirage]

What does the other module do?

[clear siren]

Storage, crafting and aquarium are self explanatory

[hot sluice]

If you have a storage module. Seems like you need to look around for fragments

[dull mirage]

Oh

[dull mirage]

Ye i have the scanner room thing

[clear siren]

(they're all modules)

[dull mirage]

Luckily i got storage full of rubies and diamonds

But no titanium

[dull mirage]

Ye ik ty

[shy path]

There is a bottom to the void at 2397 meters

Nvm

I found a giant opening

Don't go to the void there is a bottom then you find a opening when you go down there is no walls or nothing just loneliness

[hot sluice]

if its like subnauthica you go dow 8000 meters then get telported back. Also happens if you go 8000 meters away from the center o the map

[echo latch]

Theyre doing it again, the. THhree shadows

Th s time i have seatruck

Only helps a lil

they WILL not go away

[hot sluice]

I'm just going to assume you have driven out of the Map edge into the Void and they are 3 void Chelicerates

[regal garden]

Can someone help me out? I'm currently stuck in the crystal cave and have NO idea how to get out... I've gone a bit too deep

[hushed jungle]

just go up and try to find a way out

[regal garden]

There's no up from where I am .-. Just forward

[unique dragon]

runnnnnnnn

[hot sluice]

Basically go up to the ceiling and follow it up

[regal garden]

Alr 💀

[hot sluice]

the Crystal cave is basically one long corridor. I forget which direction it goes

[hot sluice]

This youtube says it can tell you how to get out of the C Caves https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqsXADkUG4s

[carmine bobcat]

Usually when I go through a major cave system I will put a beacon at the exit(For example Lava Lakes -> ILZ entrance ILZ-> to mountains corridor mountains corridor -> bulb zone

like that so I have a route out

[hot sluice]

Thats a good idea

[regal garden]

Thx- video got me out

[hot sluice]

thats great. gad I could help

[graceful girder]

I made my new module dock

Thoughts?

[echo latch]

Too cluttered

[graceful girder]

Kinda

I like it tight

Means it's finished

Anyone like the paint job on my base?

[fierce harbor]

help

am standing on fish

fish moving player character

very spook

I'm legit just drifting around my base forever, it's like watching a l4d2 bot walk around

apparently if you stand on a fish in your base, you'll slowly be separated and rubberbanded around

eventually you'll just clip through the wall, it's weird

I like this game. The gameplay is fun and the glitches are wacky

[dull mirage]

By the way

When i build a module and combine the two, then i go back to my moonpool the module just flips off, anyway to fix it?

[unique dragon]

subnautica 3

[carmine bobcat]

Subnautica 5

[next current]

You can't dock a Seatruck with Modules attached to it. The modules with automatically detach when the Seatruck is docking.

[woeful spruce]

delta station is directly south of the drop pod, right?

[unique dragon]

Think it’s a bit to the SE

[woeful spruce]

ok

it's base building time

good base spot?

[upper lion]

Yes

But not really

The red dot is the best base spot if you want easy access to critical locations and lots of easy access resources

[woeful spruce]

in hindsight this wasnt the safest spot

chelicerates everywhere, but it is what it is

[carmine bobcat]

which direction do I go to get to the vent garden when starting at drop pod?

[upper lion]

South-southeast

[carmine bobcat]

thanks. thats the best way I personally know of getting to that pilot woman

[carmine fulcrum]

I forgot how small the subnautica bz map was

[upper lion]

Yeah

[graceful girder]

Gaint worm

[woeful spruce]

hmm, thinking of moving my base from just off the north of delta island to east of it

this area is way too densely populated by those cryptosuchids

cant get it without getting a near miss on myself or my seatruck

if only killing them were permanent

are the thermal vents in the thermal spires warm enough for a thermal plant?

[dawn quartz]

There are active thermal vents in the caves that you can use

[woeful spruce]

so i've heard, might rebuild my base near or in the koppa mines

wonder how much materials of my current base i can salvage, or if i'll just have to ditch it completely

lol i desperately need a seatruck storage module

[hot sluice]

Depending on the time you want to invest you can grab all the materials. Below zero has the recycler to get back materials after all

[woeful spruce]

it's less a matter of how long it takes, and more a matter of where i store my items as im moving my base from the dock to the mines

[hot sluice]

What I do when moving bases is build a moonpool or multipurpose room and full it with storage containers, and fill them up with all the old base stuff, Then when I have moved all the materials over I have them clos by when I construct the real thing

[woeful spruce]

there's only two items that prevent me from progressing further rn: diamonds and the seatruck storage mod

[hot sluice]

Its in the ||deep twisty Bridges||

I think diamonds are down there as well

[woeful spruce]

i know both are there, the problem's getting to it with only a high cap o2 and rebreather without any reliable depth mods

[hot sluice]

You can take the seatruck cabin down as far as it will go, then go down yourself. Theres a lot of O2 plants down there. Its actually very well designed so you can go down there, as the designers realized you wont have the big depth mods at that stage in the game

[dawn quartz]

diamonds are the easiest to find in koppa mine but they spawn in ||deep twisty|| along with the storage mod

[carmine bobcat]

Is it just me or is Below Zero not…. Scary?

[ember merlin]

yeah i didnt find it as scary as subnautica

[dawn quartz]

not as scary as SN but when you get to the darker zones it gets scarier imo

[carmine bobcat]

True the only thing that really scares me in Subnautica games is the dead zone but you aren’t supposed to even go there

[dawn quartz]

i mean once you get cyclops you aint scared of anything

[carmine bobcat]

Subnautica 1 though freaked me out the first time playing it whereas Below Zero was a cakewalk to start playing

[storm imp]

yeah, bz is definitely not as scary as sn

[nova pendant]

I think i might be insane because instead of getting the first one i got Below Zero

The shadow leviathan gave me PTSD as well

[storm imp]

yeah, the ||shadow leviathans|| are decently scary, but sn leviathans are arguably worse.

[unique dragon]

subnautica is scarier than bz

[nova pendant]

O

Once i finish below zero i will get subnautica

[lofty rune]

below zero makes more sense after playing subnautica

[safe sun]

@deep kettle Thomas. I require your help.

Do you know how to change the game so you can play on the early access branches?

[eternal garnet]

I do. Enter beta code: belowzeroearlyaccess

[safe sun]

That isn't the problem. It's getting to the right screen to enter the password. I'm not at my computer so I can't do it, but @carmine bobcat needs help with it.

[eternal garnet]

@carmine bobcat in steam, Library, right click game in the list left. Properties. Betas.
Enter beta code: belowzeroearlyaccess
For old story, I recommend EA8

This is only possible on steam

[safe sun]

Meatie coming in clutch in Thom's absence. Meatie > Thom

[carmine bobcat]

I'll try it in a few minutes!

[deep kettle]

I was in VR 😭

[eternal garnet]

escaping reality

[deep kettle]

Absolutely.

I was actually trying to find and fix a bug. But thanks for the help meatie 😄

[carmine bobcat]

Ok, it seems that the version is downloading now! Thanks to both @safe sun 😊

[safe sun]

Cheers!

[opaque harbor]

👀

[untold bay]

i get high GPU temps 82c while playing subnautica what should i do

[storm imp]

those are fine temps.

high is 90-100c.

some gpus can go even higher than that.

[untold bay]

even with lowest settings

[storm imp]

is this a prebuilt pc?

[untold bay]

no

[storm imp]

what case do you have?

[untold bay]

dell optiplex 1060 6gb mini i7 3770

[storm imp]

that is a prebuilt

[untold bay]

i upgraded gpu psu and ram

[storm imp]

so prebuilt with upgrades

[untold bay]

okay

other game runs fine tho

[storm imp]

below zero is more graphically intensive iirc

I'd just turn the settings up until it starts lagging and then tweak the settings back until it stops lagging

[untold bay]

wait i just realized im in blow zero chat

insted of subnautica

[storm imp]

oh

[eternal garnet]

If you have the option "FPS cap" or vsync, enable that for much cooler GPU

[neon ermine]

Ion cubes are limited in BZ?

I only have 4 and wondering if I should make 2 of the ion powercells

[broken badge]

They’re limited but you can get a lot of them later on, so I’d say there’s plenty to make all the ion stuff you’d probably ever need tbh.

[eternal garnet]

yes, but there are 4 mineable stacks total

[broken badge]

Limited isn’t the best word imo, finite is better, because there’s still a lot you can get

[neon ermine]

one power cell would be enough right?

[broken badge]

For?

[neon ermine]

in all honestly I should use them all to make 2 so my truck can go out longer even tho it is long

[broken badge]

Oh for seatruck? Having even one ion power cell makes a world of difference

[neon ermine]

I am really lost || as I went back to the underwater base after greenhouse and nothing no idea ||

and use ion battery for tools?

I prob should make that item deconstructor, can you get cubes back that way?

[eternal garnet]

for seaglide anyway

I think you can, if the battery is fully charged

[neon ermine]

so I can't say make the thethered thing (got spoiled) and decontruct before empty

[eternal garnet]

I believe that works yes

[broken badge]

Tbh I didn’t use the tether tool and teleportation module
It consumes ion cubes just so you know, to operate

That wasn’t why I didn’t use it. It simply didn’t work for me, idk why
But I really don’t think I would’ve had much use for it

[neon ermine]

I got spoiled is why I asked if you coudl recycle heh

I rpob would never use it as I prob only have one module 2 at most

storage and wherever the prawn attachment is

[broken badge]

I use storage, fabricator, and docking. The sleeper isn’t a bad module to have, you can have music while you drive xD

But usually it’s just the 3 for me

[neon ermine]

I dunno what to do after going back || to M's underwater base after going to the greenhouse||

[weary tendon]

I'm playing BZ first time, where do I find these modules for seatruck

[eternal garnet]

storage+fab: deep twisty bridges, below 300

[neon ermine]

is deep twitsy just futher down in twisty I really don't know where I am I took a 2+ week break

this game isn't really capturing me as the first but it isn't bad

[eternal garnet]

yes, in the center it goes real deep

[neon ermine]

oh I must have been there I have both lol

Didn't fidn a 3rd sleeper one

[weary tendon]

And where Re diamonds?

[neon ermine]

ah don't worry just follow the new waypoints you get

[eternal garnet]

same place!

[neon ermine]

tho make sure you have a laser cutter for when you go to the icebergs

[weary tendon]

Green waypoints?

[neon ermine]

and others

I wasn't looking for them and got tons basicalyt

[weary tendon]

Because I need some diamonds for mod station and that reinforced glass

AAAA

WHAT THE **** IT IS

[storm imp]

I dare you to scan it

[weary tendon]

I scanned

It tried to eat me

What is it doing near my base

[storm imp]

what biome is your base in?

[weary tendon]

Uhm

[storm imp]

wait, it looks like lilypads

[weary tendon]

Biome where ||margo base|| is

[pliant nymph]

pet it

[stone zinc]

Lol

[storm imp]

yeah there's a celicerate right next to the western side of the lilypads biome

[weary tendon]

I tried to feed it

It tried to swallow me instead of fish I gave

[hot sluice]

Ya the teleport module isn't worth it in my opinion. Mind you I dont thingk the Prawn is worth it either so ignore my crusty old personage

[weary tendon]

Now he is my friend

He tries to eat me

But he looks nicely

Where can I find magnetite

Or how it's called

[broken badge]

I find magnetite early on, well not that early mine you, from the deep lilypad crevice (it’s where you find the ||cotton anemones|| but you can find a small ore vein of it behind the facility ||Phi Robotics|| under one of the large rooms you can sneak under. Apparently there’s more on land but I’ve never ventured to find more, bedside I always have ended up gathering more than I need from the place I mentioned and also in one of the later game areas ||purple crystal caverns||

[weary tendon]

||Deep lilipad is under common lilipad biome?||

[broken badge]

Yeah it’s deeper

Like if your in the lilypad caves, you’ll see crevices that go deeper where it’s just those lilypad roots going crossways and cracks that you can go further down, that’s where you want to head

[timid crest]

Wtfffff I just built a base there, hopefully I’m far away from the western side

[carmine bobcat]

oh boy, I sure do love running into that red leviathan when all I wanna do is get some lithium

[pliant nymph]

where can i find mobile vehicle bay fragments?

[eternal garnet]

in kelp root cave monkey nests, and on the sand in upper twisty bridges

[weary tendon]

It now lives near my base

Where do I find big aquarium

And if there is an aquarium for long big room where do i find it

[eternal garnet]

only in one of the 3 wrecks

There is, same blueprint but it's oval

[pliant nymph]

found it

[weary tendon]

Lol

Found biome ||with many flowers and nickel||

I even have found ||nickel ||but cant find ||magnetite||

[eternal garnet]

there are a few on the walls leaving this area

and also on the ground, in the deeper bits

[weary tendon]

WaRnInG! 30 secs of oXyGeN remaiNiNg

WHAT THE

Now there are two big shrimps near my base

And one of them ate me

[timid crest]

Depending on how complex your base is, it may be a good idea to relocate further East if you don’t want to constantly deal with the chelicerates

& you can go pretty far while still being in the lilypads, it’s a big biome

[weary tendon]

I dont know from where they came

I built my base and there were only my favourite electric sharks

One day one shrimp appeared

And now there are 2 of them

[timid crest]

Your base is probably just in their path. They patrol a wide area from what I’ve heard

Also I think they’re usually in the tree spires, if you’ve been there

Very pretty biome, has vent gardens, but the shrimps are a pain

[weary tendon]

Oh I've been there

I never died so much in the original SN

[timid crest]

I was inside one and a shrimp kept trying to bug through and eat me

Funny enough, I haven’t actually died to a creature yet. It’s always been running out of oxygen

[weary tendon]

I lost my only magnetite I found

[weary tendon]

FINALLY

I have done this thing for scanner room

[spark steppe]

i have been to the crystal caverns and im trying to kill the shadow leviathan

[timid crest]

Good luck

[spark steppe]

havent died yet

though im also trying to figure how to get from the entrance near margueits base in the deep lilypad caves to the fabricater caverns for AL-ANs body

im also looking for the muscle part of the body

as of right now i have the materials for the skeletal and organal parts i dont have the blueprints for the actual muscle/skin

[pliant nymph]

not worth it to kill it, unless u want to lose a vehicle

[spark steppe]

i know i gave up trying a few days ago

do you know where i can get the muscle/skin blueprints for AL-AN?

[pliant nymph]

i happen to know yes

[spark steppe]

ok

[pliant nymph]

Ill show in dms,

[spark steppe]

ok

[nova pendant]

Got alot of nickel

[pliant nymph]

nice

[spark steppe]

what can i make with uranite

i have an entire locker full of it

[weary tendon]

Green thing?

[spark steppe]

?

[weary tendon]

It is used only for nuclear reacctor

Which u can find in the station which is in lilipad or in mercury 2

[spark steppe]

i already have a fully powered nuclear reactor

i guess i can make a second for more power

[weary tendon]

I dont know any other uses for it:)

[weary tendon]

Infinite power!

[spark steppe]

yes

i have maybe 1 500 power

[eternal garnet]

Well, you can keep them in your pocket, and feel the tingling, and don't need lights to go to the bathroom at night

[spark steppe]

becasue of 10 solar panels, a bioreactor and a nuclear reactor

im getting rid of all my uranite except for 8 for another nuclear reactor

[pliant nymph]

What do i name my seatrain

[lyric sequoia]

i think i just ran into a ||mercury ii fragment... after looting another mercury ii fragment||

[lyric sequoia]

also question, ||after plugging in the test override module and go to the iceberg, where on the iceberg do you go?||

[spark steppe]

||you go to margueits greenhouse ||

[lyric sequoia]

...and where is that???

thats exactly what im asking, where is that

[spark steppe]

on the iceberg you have to go

[lyric sequoia]

which iceberg

im literally in the arctic bruh

[spark steppe]

once you find an area full of icebergs look carefully for one with a building

i passed that part a month ago so i dont 100% remember where the iceberg is

[lyric sequoia]

im at the hollow iceberg

the one with all the stuff in it

do you know where the thing is from there

[spark steppe]

send a picture

i may or may not reconize

[lyric sequoia]

i cant

[spark steppe]

why?

[lyric sequoia]

wait

maybe i can?

[safe sun]

[lyric sequoia]

@spark steppe

[spark steppe]

dont reconize that area

[lyric sequoia]

yeah because all the icebergs look the same bruh

theyre icebergs

[spark steppe]

i just searched a youtube vide3o to figure where to go

[lyric sequoia]

send

[spice seal]

It's on the iceberg farthest east

[hot sluice]

Also at night you can see lights on the right iceberg as she has glowlamps on the path up

If you find the crashed satilite I think its southeast that

[lyric sequoia]

you see, THATS helpful!

[lyric sequoia]

this too

[hot sluice]

If you want the co-ordinates, I just got them off the wiki || 998 30 -873||

[lyric sequoia]

i got them off the wiki too

[hot sluice]

Cool

[spark steppe]

i passed the part for marguiet a long while ago

[lyric sequoia]

i believe i might have found it...

i see the skeleboi

[spark steppe]

the what?

[lyric sequoia]

the skeleton bruh

and the satellite

[spark steppe]

what skeleton

[lyric sequoia]

i thought you mentioned something about a skeleton

[spark steppe]

||are talking about the skeleton to create AL-ANS body||

[lyric sequoia]

no?

[spark steppe]

then what skeleton

[lyric sequoia]

someone said something about a skeleton

[spark steppe]

i only know of 3 skeletons

[lyric sequoia]

screw it

i found the satellite iceberg

where do i go from the satellite

[spice seal]

southeast

[lyric sequoia]

the one right next to it?

[spice seal]

yes it should be right there

[lyric sequoia]

oh my god is it ever NOT dangerous weather

[spark steppe]

during the day

at night all the time

[lyric sequoia]

also i found it

[spark steppe]

good

[lyric sequoia]

dude i already did

[hot sluice]

Great. Don't forget to scan Margret's hawt body

Excellent

[viscid lark]

anyone wanna help me find magnitite if so dm me

Suranis]

@hot sluice

how to i find magnitie

[hot sluice]

https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Magnetite_(Below_Zero) Your best bet might be to wander around the East Artic Biome NE of delta island

Failing that look around the Glacial basic beyond the Phi Robotics base

[viscid lark]

oh i dont know where any of that stuff is but i do know where delta is

but ty!

[hot sluice]

There is a map you can scan in one of the delta island buildings that shows you the rough locations of Alterra bases

And then its there in your PDa for you to look at whenever

[hot sluice]

That's the map for clarity. Phi is the green dot to the left.

[viscid lark]

ohhh i havbe to go there

can you just call me and ill screenshsare lmao

[hot sluice]

uh, if thats all you wand theres a walkthrough on the wiki. I dont accept friend requests as i'm an antisocial git

[viscid lark]

oh ok

well how do ik where i am'

can someone help me that can call @here

[hot sluice]

Well, what you can do is drop a beakon at Delta island docks, and then orient yourself from that

Make sure you have a compass

[viscid lark]

kk

[hot sluice]

So, if hat beacon is SW of you then you know you are NE of Delta Island

[lofty rune]

||the skeleton of a creature (maybe a reaper) that marguerit killed, its on the iceberg that houses her greenhouse||

i assume

[hot sluice]

Thats kind of the way you are supposed to figure out where you are, especially in BZ.

So you can see on the map that the Green dots and Omaga is SE of delta. so you start going SE of the delta beacon

Of course you could press F1 and that will tell you what biome you are in

[pliant nymph]

where does one find somany nutrient blocks

[viscid lark]

the delta island is in the middle of southeast and south

for me

and i need magnitite

[hot sluice]

Well, I'm looking at the biomes that Magnetite is in and none of them are very Newb friendly

[pliant nymph]

magnetite? I know one location for magnetite but idk if u can go to it at this moment

[hot sluice]

Do you have a Laser cutter?

[viscid lark]

i do

i can bring a prawn suit or seatruck

[woeful spruce]

red's koppa?

[hot sluice]

Yes it is.

[woeful spruce]

huh, it's further off delta's coast than i remember

[pliant nymph]

now im thinkin on where to go

phi or go visit ||maida and her snowstalker||

[hot sluice]

Well, I dont know if this will help you, but this descrition on thw wiki should be east-ish of Delta ||"The East Arctic seafloor is relativity similar to its western counterpart, apart from the large, resource-rich dormant caldera that can be found near the border with the Lilypad Islands. This caldera appears to have since scarred the nearby landscape with small trenches and fissures in which many resources, such as Lithium, Ruby and Diamond, can be found as well as few Large Resource Deposits. A Chelicerate patrols the caldera, however.

There is a cave system found inside the largest iceberg in the biome, located East of the caldera. If the player swims up the cave they'll find a sealed ice hole which must be cut with a Laser Cutter. An Ice Bubble can be used nearby to replenish oxygen. Once cut, the player will be able to swim up and out of the water into a cave containing Ore Veins filled with Magnetite and Diamond. ||

[hot sluice]

Might as well close off that part of the story if you haven't done that yet

[spark steppe]

@lost cove i tried killing a shadow leviathan almost lost my prawn 40 times

[lost cove]

That's what you get

[spark steppe]

i did kill one of the 4 though

[woeful spruce]

does cryptosuchus respawn after you kill it?

[hot sluice]

no

afaik

[unique dragon]

I’ve been hunting them down for a week as they live where I live

Always seems to be more

[woeful spruce]

so if i cleared the four or so near my base, i won't be bothered by them again?

[hot sluice]

It says they respawn in 600 seconds (only if killed by dreatures) unless that has been changed

the wiki

[timid crest]

They coulda just said 10 minutes, but nah 600 seconds let’s be quirky

[spark steppe]

haha

[upper lion]

They do actually

Since theyre not classified as a leviathan

Ive tried killing some out of spite, more keep coming

[hot sluice]

Ok Wiki lied to me. DAMN YOU WIKI

[lyric sequoia]

so i actually have a question about the scanner room

what is the most optimal set of four upgrades for the room out of the speed and range upgrade?

do i go all in on range or do i add some speed?

help!

[hot sluice]

basically go range. the speed makes dots appear faster but by the time you have collected a few your hud will be filled with indicators

[lyric sequoia]

so just go all in on range?

[hot sluice]

that's what I do

[hot sluice]

in my opinion you really want to cast as big a "net" as possible to find as much material as possible

[lyric sequoia]

so still go all in on range

[hot sluice]

yup. I only put speed in if I cant find enough magnetite, and I remove it when I do

[lyric sequoia]

fair enough

i have more than enough magnetite

[hot sluice]

cool

[graceful girder]

I'm ballen rn

Just left 4546B and my trivalvs

[quartz mica]

You should really spoiler that

[woeful spruce]

[graceful girder]

Oh come on

It's not that big

[woeful spruce]

leaving 4546B
living out the remainder of your days on 4546B

[graceful girder]

I left my trivalvs

[broken badge]

Trivalves aren’t story related so it’s not a big deal

I think we’re doing pretty good if people are kind enough not to spoil the story😅

[hot sluice]

spoiler - you swim in Below zero

[proper trail]

BIG STORY SPOILER ||You breathe Oxygen||

[woeful spruce]

what's the name of the station directly north of the drop pod?

i forgor

[hot sluice]

||Outpost Zero||?

[woeful spruce]

that's the one

will pay it a visit after i clear out delta and koppa

[graceful girder]

But they are like the cuddlefish

[next current]

Yeah? But they're not story related. Like she said.

[woeful spruce]

how deep does this go?

[upper lion]

About 400m

Actually about 250m

[woeful spruce]

a swim's out of the question then

actually

is it possible to breathe down there

[next current]

Yeah, lots of oxygen plants.

[woeful spruce]

dear god there's a cryptosuchus clipping into my base

shrub nut

where can i grow these

nvm on land

here we are again

[woeful spruce]

anyone know the most efficient (considering ease of production, power produced and inventory size) fuel type there is for the bio reactor?

seems that preston's delight and small marblemelons are contenders

shame they're all the way in the east arctic, will have to rely on shrub nuts for now as fuel

[upper lion]

Root pustules

Theres ALOT in the kelp forest caves, it lasts VERY LONG and only takes up 1 slot

[woeful spruce]

true, 700

[upper lion]

Yes

[woeful spruce]

not growable though

[upper lion]

where is ur base located

[woeful spruce]

on the delta station dock

[upper lion]

"Growable" doesnt really matter if its abundant, easily obtainable and lasts long

[woeful spruce]

will run out eventually though

[upper lion]

yea but a trip to get it all back takes a few mins

its like titanium

you run out of it eventually but you take a few mins to fully restock

[woeful spruce]

hmmm, how deep is it

[upper lion]

≈40m

[woeful spruce]

welp, barely any use outside of fuel anyways, might as well go for an inventory-full next time i visit there

[upper lion]

yea

[woeful spruce]

im basically split between relying on bioreactor power or building a thermal plant with wires stretching all the way from the nearest vent (about 200m) to my base

but given how accessible and sufficient bio power is, i might hold back or just completely avoid thermal power given how long it'll take and how much resources it'll be required to hook it up

[upper lion]

Or you can go nuclear

[woeful spruce]

too much effort

[upper lion]

1 rod is basically worth 12 full bioreactors of root pustules

[woeful spruce]

actually, it was about time i paid a visit to the mercury

might pick up some reactor rods there and finally decide to switch to nuclear

[dull mirage]

Guys, i see a Plus sign near pilot last known position, i have been there but all she did and say “oh its you again” and i just went to the large room and took some stuff and left and the plus sign is still there…
Am i missing something?

[vague cedar]

тут есть кто нибудь Русский

[woeful spruce]

expedition success

6 blueprints, multiple diamonds and rubies

will be back with prawn suit and drill arm later

[vague cedar]

cool

простите за мой англиский

[hot sluice]

ya. you are supposed to talk to magrete and her pet

[dull mirage]

Bruh-

[woeful spruce]

my poster wall

[hot sluice]

that's truckin good

[woeful spruce]

great, need one more diamond and cleaned out koppa mine of all non-large deposit diamonds

what's the closest spot for diamonds to delta station?

[hot sluice]

I usually grabbed them in deep twisty bridges I think

[woeful spruce]

what direction and depth from north dock of island?

[hallow charm]

Somebody tell me what happens after rebuilding ||A.L.A.N|| only tell me what he does after if you tell me anything 4 minutes after doing so, I will-

do nothing, cause I can't do anything about it.

Basically I have yet to fully complete below zero.

Yes I'm stupid.

[hot sluice]

sorry, cant remember. its blue and has twisty bridges

[woeful spruce]

how do you get out of the bottom of the koppa mine with the prawnsuit if you dont have the grapple arm?

[hallow charm]

wait are you talking about bridge twisty

twist bridge

bridge twist

twisty not actually bridges its just called natural terrain?

idk

twisty onion?

[hot sluice]

||he picks you up and scans you, then talks to you and then stats typing at a keyboard||

[hallow charm]

||quick note I know this, I was making a stupid joke that nobody asked to exist||

ok

I was more or less "kidding"

not really joking

[hot sluice]

its ok 🙂

[hallow charm]

ok

[hallow charm]

ok thanks

[woeful spruce]

where in the deep twisty bridges am i looking for?

[hallow charm]

I would ask about the ending but, I haven't seen it yet, and its the ONE THING in my entire life I don't want to get spoiled.

Heck you could tell me I'll die tommorow, thats fine by me.

Just don't tell me BZ's ending.

And everything is just f i n e

[woeful spruce]

uh oh, squidsharks

[hallow charm]

Twist deep

Deep twist

Is it just me or is Deep Twisty Bridges
kinda
deep?

^^^ ok sorry I'll stop

[woeful spruce]

wow you're right, there's tons of diamonds down here

[hallow charm]

Never meant to be.

[woeful spruce]

that squidshark is making me nervous as hell tho

[hallow charm]

its a squidshark just yell at it for being a squid, squids are garbage

insult it

[hot sluice]

he just wants to hug you. with his mouth

[hallow charm]

he wants to give you what I like to call "a quick detour of how to live"

[woeful spruce]

good haul

[hallow charm]

I don't get it

its just diamonds

[woeful spruce]

that's correct, you dont

much needed for a drill arm

[hallow charm]

ngl, you aren't wrong.

[woeful spruce]

also not pictured are three full blueprint sets for different seatruck modules

so that's a bonus

[woeful spruce]

help

missing cyclops already tbh

[upper lion]

Yea samr

[woeful spruce]

modular vehicles cannot compare to a literal mobile base

[upper lion]

I played bz first but since i have sn now i see how good the cyclops is

Actually, 100 mobility of youre a really good driver

[woeful spruce]

your name is an accurate representation of your opinions, if that's what you believe haha

[upper lion]

cyclops isnt meant in safe shallows lol

[woeful spruce]

true

you can take it through most of the safe shallows, just not without damage

[upper lion]

why do u even go to deep geand reef

I only to there once, to go to the degasi base

its a really bad one ngl

northern blood kelp or blood kelp trench are really good ones

yeah

I go to lr with cyclops cuz i can conveniently, and its convenient

why not

[woeful spruce]

i converted my cyclops in sn to a full-on base

[upper lion]

well true

[woeful spruce]

and made a charging station in the center of the map for the ion power cells

[upper lion]

ion power cells can be charged at any powercell charger

[woeful spruce]

true, but they're powercells nonetheless

and they run out eventually, so given that my base back then WAS my cyclops, i needed something to charge the power cells that wasnt my cyclops

hence the nuclear-solar charging station i had running in the center of the map

basically somewhere i was able to cycle depleted and full ion power cells in and out as i moved my base around the map

but yeah, does anyone have tips on getting a prawn suit that doesnt have a grapple arm out of the koppa cave base?

[upper lion]

Jump on the lifts

[woeful spruce]

true

[upper lion]

You see those occoasional lifts/platforms in the large drop?

[woeful spruce]

of course, how could i forget

and with the jump boost, it's even harder to not reach them

[upper lion]

Yea

[woeful spruce]

time for free resources next time i head down ig

[upper lion]

Yep

[woeful spruce]

the fact the amount of ion cubes you can get in bz is limited and finite is daunting

pretty sure the original sn had a greater supply, if not infinite amount of ion cubes

[upper lion]

Infinite actually due to the ion cube fabricator in the pcf

In my bz world it IS infinite because of a glitch in my save that respawns ALL resources

[woeful spruce]

what should i visit first after mining out the koppa mines? marg's base or the mercury?

tbf i need both as they both have blueprints of parts i need to progress the story

[dull mirage]

Wait, you all actually memorize the game names?

I nickname them

Swampy biome
Punchy crab
White furred dog.

I have no idea what is the koppa mines nor twist bridge and stuff

[carmine bobcat]

Guys is it just me or is early game in bz alot harder than the 1st subnautica?

[harsh trail]

Yeah because you have so many different outcrops with different loot tables

But when you get the prawn get ready for a ride

No spoilers

[carmine bobcat]

And btw, is the seatruck better than cyclops? I rlly hate the cyclops

[dawn quartz]

depends on what you hate with it

[carmine bobcat]

its clunkyness

[dawn quartz]

seatruck gets chunky at one point too

but not as chunky

[dull mirage]

Sucker fish can suck fr

[ocean flame]

I do not like leviathans

They are scary

[dawn quartz]

same

[timid crest]

I’m sad

I can’t put nootfish in my aquarium and idk why

[dawn quartz]

anyone know when the eclipse happens in the morning in BZ?

[nova pendant]

F the shadow leviathan

Made me had to bring 2 repair tools instead of 1 each time i got to crystal caves

[dawn quartz]

why?

[proper trail]

Have you seen its SIZE when picking it up? That's probably why

[hot sluice]

Use the perimiter defense system module you pick up in Margretes base and it will let go instantly. no repairs needed

[nova pendant]

wait

I though thats only for the seatruck

[hot sluice]

It is. if you are in the prawn suit then uh... you are on your own

[nova pendant]

yea thats the problem

[dawn quartz]

bruh i cant find these afterburn upgrade

where does the seamonkey nests spawn in lily?

[spark steppe]

||Any one know where the gateway near the alterra facility where you can find the spypengling poster takes you||

[hot sluice]

||up to the very north of Artic Spires. You can only activate it from up there||

[hot sluice]

Uh in the trenches and caves at the bottom of lily

[spark steppe]

||I went there and AL-AN needs his body to do something in the facility area before the gateway||

[dawn quartz]

ive looking in every seamonkey nest and no afterburner or horsepower

[spark steppe]

Keep looking

You’ll eventually find some parts

[dawn quartz]

ive looked everywhere

[spark steppe]

Ok

[dawn quartz]

or atleast i think

[hot sluice]

Oh, thats a different facility than the one I was thinking about. You are in outpost zero, I was thinking about Phi robotics Sorry thats an end of game spoiler so I cant tell you

[spark steppe]

Ok

[spark steppe]

||Does it take to where the frozen leviathan is or do I actually have look for it myself||

[hot sluice]

No it does not take you to the ||frozen levi||

[spark steppe]

Ok

[hot sluice]

Theres a map in Phi robotics that shows a cave. Thats where you fond the ||Frozen levi||

[spark steppe]

||Do you know where the area in the facility to create AL-ANs body in the fabricator caverns is from the entrance near Marguerites underwater base||

[spark steppe]

Ok

[spark steppe]

What’s the Omega symbol on the map for?

[hot sluice]

Thats the map in delta. Im talking about the one in Phi

[spark steppe]

Ok

Haven’t found it yet

[hot sluice]

those dots on the map are Greek letters., aside from outpost zero. So those dots are obviously bases and their names

[dawn quartz]

ok i found them

[spark steppe]

Ok

[hot sluice]

so the game is hinding to look for those bases and where they are, doughly

Phi is the green one to the left

[spark steppe]

Do you how to get to the location

[dawn quartz]

||phi robotics||?

[spark steppe]

Read the message I replied to

[dawn quartz]

ah no idea

[spark steppe]

Ok

Well here comes another 4 hours of searching

[eternal garnet]

in ||purple crystals, just go east. In red get to the very bottom at 960m||

[spark steppe]

Ok thanks

[broken badge]

The nootfish, it tells you, is a predator fish so it can’t go in the aquarium
However, since all fish are passive in the alien containment unit, you can place it in there with other fish🙂

[broken badge]

You’ll come to find that, unlike Subnautica, there’s no reason to take the prawn down to the deepest area/endgame area, unless you’re just wanting to be “that person” I guess lol. The seatruck is optimized for BZ gameplay in general (cyclops wouldn’t make sense for BZ at all), and dealing with that area as mentioned, since it has the option of the perimeter defense module making it ideally suited to dealing with the shadows

I learned quickly in my first play there’s no reason to take the prawn down there (not even for drilling since you can pick up ||kyanite|| as single pieces, and there’s large deposits and ore veins aplenty in other parts of the map). I really can’t think of any pros to taking a prawn down into the ||crystal caverns|| tbh not in comparison to taking a seatruck (you can always leave additional modules at the entry to the cavern if you want additional speed and maneuverability)

We don’t know

Thinking years

They’re working on a game that’s not Subnautica related atm

No

But they’ve been advertising for job posts for the next Subnautica game, so they’ll probably start sometime soonish? But you know it takes awhile to make a great game

[gritty prawn]

where am I suppose to go now to get there?

I don't have any battery left in my repair tool and I'm stuck with my prawn suit 600 meters down
