below-zero-chat

[stoic surge]

Maybe like in case you build yourself into a corner and would be stuck forever if the builder didn't work?

[next current]

No because time capsules don't exist in Below Zero.

[hot sluice]

Not existing does make it hard to find stuff, right enough

[solar gust]

bruh

oop

[bold monolith]

Yes for this exact reason. An edge case where you wouldn't have any battery left to deconstruct things like partitions that could lead to a softlock.

[next current]

How many times has this happened?!

Sorry for ping.

[bold monolith]

I don't know. Never perhaps.

[glass falcon]

Someone knows why didn't they added the ice dragon into the game?

[next current]

Because the Deep Arctic/Methane Ice Caves were cut from the game as well.

[timid crest]

Stumbled upon a hostage situation while playing the other day

[stoic surge]

As the smallest 'leviathan' the squidshark gets no respect

[carmine bobcat]

Its a leviathan?

No way

Cant be

[eternal garnet]

it isn't. PDA has a text error

[carmine bobcat]

Oh

[eternal garnet]

Or you could say it's right on the edge

[carmine bobcat]

Barley. Leviathans are big by default. Smallest is I think baby vent garden or sea treader

[stoic surge]

4546B has alot of weird critters

[carmine bobcat]

And more are still probably unknown

[nova pendant]

Idk what to do now I finished the game

[carmine bobcat]

We've only seen 2 areas of 4546B

And theres probably alot more wildlife out there

[eternal garnet]

Cure the frozen creature. Hatch eggs. Find and hatch Trivalve. Build the best base evar. Find all the music tracks.
Play around with commands (see wiki).
On steam, you can still play the old story. Enter beta code belowzeroearlyaccess then run version EA 8.

[stoic surge]

Build all Seatruck modules

[nocturne bolt]

where can i find all of the prawn suit fragments?

[stoic surge]

There are enough fragments in ||the mine|| to get the whole blueprint

[lime grove]

you can find 2 fragments in the ||outpost zero|| and rest in ||koppa mining site||

[lime grove]

well its best to get the 2 cause of oxygen reasons

[stoic surge]

Unless you wedge the Seatruck in the entrance, then drive it down there

[lime grove]

well not everyone can wedge the seatruck there

[timid crest]

Technically it’s not even a leviathan, it’s described as one but not placed in the leviathan category

0 respect

[stoic surge]

I always leave mine on default numbers

[lime grove]

i play on around 60 or 70

[stoic surge]

Actually mine is on default because I never learned how to change it, lol

[graceful girder]

I wonder when the next game is coming

[modest pagoda]

It’ll probably be in the blog/dev post after the 2.0 updates

[ashen jolt]

Wait how do I do that

[eternal garnet]

do what? did you not find the filtration suit? It got renamed

[ashen jolt]

I have done this

It works, until you want to leave or take a storage module with you

It’s a pain ngl

[ashen jolt]

Where is it

Never heard of such a thing

[eternal garnet]

outside maidas home, just below on the ledge

[ashen jolt]

The moon pool?

Or the garden

[eternal garnet]

below that, I think on the other side

Now you too can drink your own

[glass falcon]

: (

[eternal garnet]

diamond deposit? prawn suit drill

[ashen jolt]

I am in the frost basin so it’s gonna have to wait

[spark steppe]

im about to finish the game

[foggy vine]

Cool

I have crafted and I didn't use

Have you crafted the water filtration?

[eternal garnet]

it's great. If you aren't on Freedom

uh. I meant the suit. but the machine is good also

[foggy vine]

I think the machine worth it more

[foggy vine]

What? What does freedom do?

[eternal garnet]

game mode, no eating+drinking. I prefer it

[foggy vine]

No bro. Eating and drinking is part of survival game

I prefer the normal mode, because the game was made to play this mode

But I see you

You should get the water filtration lol

Have you explored the ice part?

There are some items you can fusion with snow and get big bottles of water

ain't sure if you have explored those ones

Looks more for the end game. So sorry

[restive aspen]

DM me if you wanna join a subnautica voice chat

Can someone help me find the island with margaret jumpscare

[eternal garnet]

it's delta island. South of the pod. The only island infact

[foggy vine]

It is

[foggy vine]

Shut up bro you are so much intelligent

"The only island in fact"

For me are all islands lol

[eternal garnet]

icebergs don't count. And the land west is more of a continent, it's so big

[foggy vine]

'-'

[eternal garnet]

[stoic surge]

Nibble? lol

[brazen dragon]

Welp I just pulled a chad moved and just used my prawn suit in the worm area

[stoic surge]

I prefer to only risk a Snowfox there, too many spots where the Prawn could clip down and be lost

[brazen dragon]

You should see how far you can get launched by the worms though lol

[foggy vine]

'-'

[brazen dragon]

Felt like the minor version of the air bladder glitch in subnatica

[stoic surge]

Sometimes I'll take the Snowfox through the 'northwest passage' and bypass them all

[brazen dragon]

Fair

But you gotta remember the ion cube ore though

[stoic surge]

In my last play through I skipped the drillable ones, didn't really need them

[brazen dragon]

Oh also this is off topic but is there a way to recharge ion cubes by crafting and un crafting?

[eternal garnet]

yes, the headlamp or teleporter I think

[brazen dragon]

What about just crafting then un crafting batteries?

[eternal garnet]

possibly

[foggy vine]

In fact prawn suit is very resistent

[brazen dragon]

It takes 4 hits right?

[foggy vine]

And you just jump

The only problem is the battery

[brazen dragon]

And swing

Oh I know about the power cell issue, I was at 31 when I left lol

[foggy vine]

One in 15% and the another one in 16%

Lol

Or ever two in 31% I don't remember

[brazen dragon]

Also is it easier to kill a giant shrimp leviathan with the sea truck or the prawn suit?

[foggy vine]

But I did remember that both power cells download at same time

[brazen dragon]

I feel like it is the sea truck

Cuz zap, zoom, hit

[eternal garnet]

not zap. Bump full speed

[foggy vine]

I don't know

[eternal garnet]

or hey, both

[brazen dragon]

I just zap when they try to attack

[eternal garnet]

yes, there's no need to kill them

[brazen dragon]

Well you get bragging rights

I do feel like they are a lot easier to kill than reapers

They really need to increase their health

[eternal garnet]

I think the reason you can kill them is mostly for building a base in their habitat

[brazen dragon]

Also can you kill the ones in the void?

[halcyon marlin]

What is the equivalent to the Reginald in below zero? Like in terms of best food source

[brazen dragon]

Salad

Just talk to the crazy lady

Then go to the ||green house||

[eternal garnet]

void levi's have ulimited respawn, and it will spawn up to 3 to make sure you die

[halcyon marlin]

Thank you

I’ve beaten the game so I know where to go 😉

[eternal garnet]

for fish, it's the triops, but spicy salad is super op

[brazen dragon]

Welp there goes that dream, I do miss the utter fear and terror from the first game so at least I am still scared of the void

[brazen dragon]

Hey are there giant silver clusters?

[broken badge]

Silver deposits? Yes

[brazen dragon]

Thank you, trying to make the good power cells

[slate pewter]

hello

guys

how can i do the lux or vip o2 tube

[eternal garnet]

there's large o2, 120m down in twisty bridges. And ultra, in lilypads

[dusk steppe]

Crystal caves base formed 😎

Only took me three trips and several hours

[lost rampart]

I was playing on my switch, and it shut off. Not dead, the game crashed. First time. Lost 2 hours of progress

I went to Crystal caves after that and found a funny boi

[slate pewter]

what can i do with creature eggs

[lost rampart]

Food :)

[eternal garnet]

no. you can hatch them in contaiment, that you find later

[slate pewter]

ty

[eternal garnet]

uh. save often, but if the world stops loading do not save. Important

Do this and the Switch version is bearable

[wicked vortex]

Where is the fabricator base?

can't find it

[eternal garnet]

at the bottom, I believe east. 960m

North-east

[brazen dragon]

Who’s idea was this???

[eternal garnet]

well, if you swim above it, it can't bite you

[brazen dragon]

I just kill them then scan them

I ram them with the sea truck

Still 3 of those shadows to kill

Trucking them to death is more fun

[elder oyster]

is not scared of anything.

[remote grotto]

should i make it higher?

[broken badge]

Wrong channel, this is below zero, not Subnautica

[remote grotto]

oh shi, sorry i forgot

but should i make it higher :P

[broken badge]

I would argue just don’t kill them at all
Always seemed a waste of time to me

[broken badge]

Kind of up to you really

[remote grotto]

whats your recommendation tho

[broken badge]

You can stack multipurpose rooms you know

[remote grotto]

yea i know

[broken badge]

But one room is fine for just starting out

[remote grotto]

okok

[brazen dragon]

I have 205 titanium

[elder oyster]

i think that's too much titanium

or enough to build 1 moonpool right?

[brazen dragon]

I just need a lot of lithium to build twelve stories of aquariums

[remote grotto]

💀 🙏

[muted trout]

wtf is this emoji

[brazen dragon]

I need so much quartz

Hey can you change the interior light colour?

[elder oyster]

no

[brazen dragon]

Awe

[warped hinge]

Question, am I the only one who uses beacon color to denote something about the location? For example, for me, red beacons are located in especially difficult or dangerous areas, orange are for easier, but not safe, locations, yellow are vehicles, and blue are habitats/bases.

[brazen dragon]

You are probably not the only one but I do not do that

I just go “eh I’ll be fine with whatever it is”

[elder oyster]

I use blue for "I'm kind of ignoring this", yellow for bases, red for vehicles, and green for Alan signals

[warped hinge]

I guess you could call me meticulous, that would be a fair assessment

[elder oyster]

and orange is basically everything else

[brazen dragon]

Also I hate that there are no lead clusters

[elder oyster]

for me it's to increase visibility of what's important and decrease visibility of what is not.

[warped hinge]

"ARGH!!!!" as Peanuts(TM) characters like to say. It's SOO frustrating

[warped hinge]

If you're well and truly ignoring something, and never plan to use it, why mark it at all?

[brazen dragon]

Also if you don’t store your titanium as titanium bars what is wrong with you

[elder oyster]

In the case of a couple of markers, they're landmarks for finding other things

In the case of something like Drop Pod, it gets hidden.

And those markers (like the markers for the outposts already there...) are blue so they don't get in the way

[warped hinge]

I don't store my Titanium as Titanium bars, but then, most of the time, I don't have any Titanium to store, it's soo useful and I'm always running out. I do like to compress my Titanium into Titanium bars to save space in my Seatruck inventory though, it allows me to be able to bring more Titanium back from one trip

[brazen dragon]

Two storage, one sleep, one fabricator, and one docking

[warped hinge]

I like to use Titanium Bars as like a ZIP file

to compress the Titanium's size

[brazen dragon]

Also earlier I had 205 titanium

[warped hinge]

Right now, I have my Seatruck like this: Seatruck - Fabricator Module - Teleportation Module - Aquarium Module - Sleeper Module - Storage Module - Storage Module - Docking Module - Prawn Suit attached to Docking Module

[brazen dragon]

Getting photos from steam is so difficult sometimes

[warped hinge]

I have the Teleportation Module between the Fabricator Module and Aquarium so I have ready access to food and water if I have to teleport back after a bad situation, and I also keep the Seatruck's supply of Medikits in the bench seat of the Fabricator Module, so I have ready access to them as well

And it's also close to the front so I have ready access to the controls of the Seatruck, just as another precaution

Darn, I wish all of this were necessary, but this game is so pathetically easy that it's not

[elder oyster]

the problem is f11 screenshots in subnautica don't save to uncompressed copy folder

[brazen dragon]

Oh I learned that from town of Salem with the crunched photo I sent one time

[elder oyster]

Seriously if you don't have "save an uncompressed copy" checked pls do this

(You have to select a folder first, then it works)

(this is a general psa, not just a reply)

[warped hinge]

I hope sometime they make a harder Subnautica sequel where hardcore preparing like this actually pays off

I like flexing my overpreparedness, but Below Zero just doesn't require it

[brazen dragon]

The original subnatica was terrifying

I loved the reapers

[elder oyster]

i bring the sleeper module for the jukebox

og subnautica was scarier the first time i played it.

[brazen dragon]

And I was so happy for killing one

[warped hinge]

BING! It's a must

[elder oyster]

after I learned that ||nothing is actually a threat|| unless you're really dumb...

[brazen dragon]

I set up the sound system in my base and am jamming rn

[elder oyster]

I set my jukebox up with a few songs from bug fables

[brazen dragon]

Oh also how do you add songs?

[warped hinge]

I think of almost every single possible way something could go sideways in this game, and prepare for the most improbable bad scenarios, and guess what? All my hard work, WASTED! RIP.

[elder oyster]

%userprofile%\music\unknown worlds\subnautica

.wav .ogg .mp3 .flac works

[warped hinge]

Why oh why do I bother?

[elder oyster]

The only time I was ever really in danger in my hc playthrough was free diving running out of O2 cus I wasn't paying attention

[warped hinge]

Why can't I be a NORMAL player and just rush amazingly unprepared into everything?

[elder oyster]

And when I decided to chase down the Cheli and shadow levis to get scan data

I bring like...

1 food 2 water

and a couple of tools

i pack the seatruck with extra

2 lockers, 1 food/water 1 extra tools for swapping if necessary

[brazen dragon]

Where from here?

[warped hinge]

I bring like 200 water, 4 medikits, spare food even though I have the Heat Blade, way too many batteries, and almost all of my tools except for the most very useless ones for where I'm going, like a Seaglide on land

[elder oyster]

wrong folder

[brazen dragon]

Oops

[elder oyster]

type %userprofile%\Music into your address bar

[warped hinge]

And that's just on my person

[elder oyster]

Unless you store your music somewhere else... nevermind you know what just use the damn music shortcut or library

[warped hinge]

Only thing I miss? Medical Kit Fabricator

That was so convenient in Subnautica, and they REMOVED it!

[elder oyster]

my beacon mess in this save

[brazen dragon]

Welp my file structure is a mess rn

[brazen dragon]

Found it!

[warped hinge]

I'm very sorry, but you are a noob. Git gud! I have over 50 beacons active in my current game, it would make anyone else's eyes bleed from the sheer number of beacons, but it helps me to navigate, being the Captain Sense of (LACK OF) Direction that I am.

[brazen dragon]

Hmm so would going from YouTube to an mp3 converter work?

[elder oyster]

excuse me, but you need to git gud and memorize the map like the universebrain that I am, jeez.

[elder oyster]

probably.

[brazen dragon]

Welp we are gonna find out

[elder oyster]

MP3 files are valid

nevermind the fact that I blew up my sleeper module a while ago

[warped hinge]

To be fair, this started in Subnautica. YOU try determining one Grassy Plain from another without using a map! They all look the same, just like some of the Kelp Forests! It's SOO easy to think you're going back to the one where you found the thing that you wanted to come back to, but instead, you went the wrong direction thanks to lack of landmarks and ended up in a different one instead.

[brazen dragon]

I blew up my aquarium module once

[elder oyster]

was joking.

my trivalve escaped

[brazen dragon]

Can we all agree that they need to at least double the health of all large creatures in bz?

Also their AI…is not the best at times

The crash fish especially

[warped hinge]

Nah, Cryptosuchus having a Suchus-y HP pool is kind of hilarious

all roar, and not a lot of bite, and it can NOT take many hits in return

[brazen dragon]

I can kill one of the shadows in under 5 minutes

Those things are like flies to me

Also I wish they respawned

[elder oyster]

the extra tools i carry around

[brazen dragon]

They did respawn once in an old save when the game was fully released

[elder oyster]

they only reset when the block cache is invalidated

which means delete it or major update.

[brazen dragon]

Are there any bad side effects?

[elder oyster]

pdas reset

[warped hinge]

Speaking of the Shadows, sometimes they will behave well and collide with terrain instead of going into it. SOMETIMES. However, Chelicerates are VERY naughty and love to clip into and through terrain, so you never really know where they are, because they could be lurking in the terrain

[elder oyster]

basically everything you've done in the world resets except for the bases you've built.

[brazen dragon]

infinite resources?

When my world was reset in one save I was able to get 8 floors of Cryptosuchus aquariums and over 100k max power

My game lagged

And there were 8 different buildings of the aquariums

[warped hinge]

Block Cache, so that's the folder that keeps track of what's happened/ing in any given area on the map and saves it?

[elder oyster]

This is my typical loadout.

[brazen dragon]

So 64 floors of aquariums

And then each floor of aquarium holds 12

[elder oyster]

The game is divided into batches and chunks, and it caches all of the changes you made in every batch in the game

[brazen dragon]

I had 768 Cryptosuchus

Now that was fun

[elder oyster]

Everything else is in the Seatruck if I need it

Like, I swap for the prop. cannon when on land cus I don't need the seaglide

[brazen dragon]

Now time to test the music

Yay!

[warped hinge]

By the way: Me: <is close to a terrain surface> Chelicerate that was lurking in the terrain: "Surprise, <censored>!" Me: "YIKES! What were you doing in there, silly Leviathan? You were supposed to COLLIDE with the terrain, not CLIP THROUGH AND INTO IT!"

[brazen dragon]

To be fair the original subnatica did that

One of my most memorable moments was a reaper in front of me disappearing into the ground and me just going in the other direction

I’ll be honest I never did hardcore in the original game

I do it quite a lot in this one though

[elder oyster]

SN did that with hilarity usually

I'd see a reaper clip out of the terrain spinning and flying off into the distance.

[brazen dragon]

Also this world is so small ngl

[elder oyster]

it is more detailed tho

[brazen dragon]

Feels about the same in most areas

Except on land

Which is like 10% of the game

I do feel like there are less bugs though

But we go a lot less deeper

Which I dislike

Barely any life down there too

It’s either really small or really big

[elder oyster]

Crystal caves feels insubstantial yeah

there's a big spooky monster that's driven off before dealing any damage with the perimeter defence you get literally for free.

[brazen dragon]

Yeah perimeter defense is op

I would love decoy missiles instead

Also I wish they added a third vehicle too

We got the bulky, the storage, we need something with explore with

[elder oyster]

coughsnowfoxcough

[warped hinge]

Speaking of Leviathans and collision issues, the last few patches of Below Zero really seem to have affected Subnautica quite significantly. Before, Leviathans MOSTLY stuck to the water, and didn’t clip into terrain. Now, they constantly clip in to terrain, and regularly break previously programmed patrol patterns to go after the player in ways they never would before

[elder oyster]

i never actually noticed

[brazen dragon]

Ok but I literally forgot about it and that shows how useless it is

[elder oyster]

exactly

[brazen dragon]

I just use my prawn suit and the grappling arm

[elder oyster]

the prawn is faster, more durable, and doesn't kick you out every time an ice worm breaks wind

[warped hinge]

My opinion of Snowfox:

[elder oyster]

the speed cap of the prawn is 20m/s

[warped hinge]

🤮

[elder oyster]

you can get that with strafe walking

[warped hinge]

I HATE the Snowfox

[elder oyster]

no need for grapple arm at all

Tho being robo spider man is rather fun

[brazen dragon]

Also the prawn can fly pretty easily due to ice worms

[elder oyster]

ice worms never knocked me into the air

[brazen dragon]

I flew up over 2k meters earlier

[elder oyster]

I couldn't even be caught just strafe jumping

[brazen dragon]

And landed nearly where I was

[elder oyster]

heh, if you look more to the southwest in arctic spires, you might see where they put all the triggers for the ice worms

[brazen dragon]

The ice worms are not scary ngl

Actually nothing is

Expect when the shadows or big shrimps decide to go to the backrooms then come back out

[elder oyster]

but legit, jump, hold w+a/d, and watch the prawn FLY

[brazen dragon]

Well the void is still terrifying

[warped hinge]

Thing about the Snowfox is riding a flying snow mobile/motorcycle hybrid across arctic terrain just is a derpy picture. Why couldn’t the new vehicle have been an ENCLOSED one? I mean, come ON, it IS ARCTIC terrain after all.

[elder oyster]

Even on land

tho you are travelling at a forty five degree angle...

[warped hinge]

What’s worse is their original idea, the hovercraft, WAS

And they REJECTED it! For a stupid SNOW MOTORBIKE

[brazen dragon]

Oh a water skidder vehicle sounds fun

[warped hinge]

No, it was still just a land vehicle. But it was ENCLOSED! And it would probably have handled more INTUITIVELY!

[brazen dragon]

The snow fox is like drifting a car from the 70’s ngl

[brazen dragon]

Have you seen the speed runs of bz, people get creative

[elder oyster]

I mean, it is literally SR20 (oldschool doom joke dont mind me)

[brazen dragon]

I wish I was old enough to understand that

[elder oyster]

doom had a quirk in movement where if you strafed and ran forward your movement was increased by the sqrt of the combined

[warped hinge]

Mech on arctic terrain > futuristic open-topped motorcycle on arctic terrain. Yeah, the mech’s heavier. So what? A motorcycle, even a HOVER one, looks WAY out of place on arctic terrain!

[elder oyster]

it was called SR40 because "strafe run 40 units per second"

[warped hinge]

It doesn’t at ALL convey “snowmobile”

[elder oyster]

and SR50 is when you do it against specific walls that for some reason make you move even faster

[brazen dragon]

Sounds real interesting

Kinda like portal

I’m adding so much music rn

Any suggestions?

[elder oyster]

idk your taste in music

[brazen dragon]

Rock, dubstep, also songs like “hello world” specifically

Either real soft or real hard

[elder oyster]

I like songs from games that were special to me

[brazen dragon]

Oh what games?

[warped hinge]

Tastes in music are like opinions: everyone has one, but they tend to vary wildly from person to person.

[elder oyster]

top one is CrossCode

Bug Fables is probably top 10

[brazen dragon]

Never heard of it, I gotta check that game out if it has good music

[elder oyster]

Has amazing music

and an amazing story, it's an RPG/puzzle game tho.

[warped hinge]

VVVVVV is another one. Magnus Palsson’s soundtrack to it you will NEVER get out of your head! It’s MUCH too good.

[brazen dragon]

Ooooo puzzle game

[warped hinge]

VVVVVV is a platform puzzle game

Lots of platform puzzles to solve

[elder oyster]

yee

[warped hinge]

Some of the later ones VERY dynamic ones too

My least favorite is the Tower, I can’t think fast enough

[elder oyster]

CrossCode is one of those darling indie gems that no one played.

And it's really a shame, because Lea is best girl

[warped hinge]

VVVVVV is from 2010

[elder oyster]

[brazen dragon]

Sounds so cool ngl

Hmm what games have good music, oh probably the Binding of isaac

Either you play it?

[elder oyster]

Basically anything danny baranowsky composed is amazing

super meat boy

uhh, i think he has a few others

[warped hinge]

But back on topic. The kind of thing I mean when I say that Subnautica’s Leviathans in particular are behaving in ways they never have before requires an example. Here’s one: a Reaper attacking a TOTALLY SHUT DOWN, SILENT, LIGHTS-OFF Cyclops QUITE A DISTANCE FROM IT!

And I never noticed that before some of the later BZ patches

That kind of thing just didn’t happen

[elder oyster]

Hm, maybe an AI oops

[brazen dragon]

AI goes brrrrrr

[elder oyster]

Because they do know when you're actually piloting the ship and won't attack it when you aren't in the driver's seat.

[brazen dragon]

Which is kinda stupid ngl

[elder oyster]

nah. i think its fair

[warped hinge]

Reaper: “And who are YOU to tell me that I can’t/won’t? NYAH!”

[elder oyster]

if i'm not driving the ship and just bumming around doing something then it's not really fair that it can destroy my ship without me having any input

[brazen dragon]

Fair

[elder oyster]

and that does make shadow levis more dangerous because they ignore that for the prawn

[warped hinge]

Here’s the scary part. THAT’S EXACTLY what happened!

[elder oyster]

iirc reapers have a taste for seamoths

they will still attack it sitting idle doing nothing

[brazen dragon]

I feel like someone should dissect their AI

[warped hinge]

Well, it didn’t destroy it, I got to the bridge in time, but it took a lot of damage before I got over to the bridge

I wasn’t at the helm either when the Reaper attacked, I was in the upper deck main room

[brazen dragon]

Huh

[elder oyster]

i can't confirm but in my experience they won't cancel a pending attack, but that's not really relevant to you I don't think

[warped hinge]

No, the Reaper didn’t even immediately follow me back to the Cyclops

I gave it a Decoy which it happily played with while I left the area

I checked to make sure it wasn’t following me as I left the vicinity, it wasn’t.

It made the entire trip to the Cyclops unaggroed

And then attacked, unaggroed as well

I could tell it was not aggroed either, as it was relatively quiet. If it were aggroed, I would have heard it coming. Reapers are very very noisy, even more than the other two

[elder oyster]

true

all the big ones in bz have an 'i am attacking' noise, and an 'i am chasing you' noise

[warped hinge]

All 3 and 1/2, yes

[brazen dragon]

Hey aren’t squid sharks leviathans?

[elder oyster]

no

[warped hinge]

Yes. But they do not have Leviathan damage stats. However, they DO have Leviathan HP

Squid Sharks and Chelicerate have the exact same HP pool of 5,000

[elder oyster]

aren't they in the carnivores section not leviathans

[warped hinge]

Incorrect.

[brazen dragon]

Give it a minute to send

Also where are the sleeper modules again?

[warped hinge]

Regular Leviathans with Leviathan stats all around: Chelicerate (1), Void Cheli, (1 & 1/2) Shadow Leviathan, (2 & 1/2) and Ice Worm Leviathan (3 & 1/2)

[broken badge]

Squidshark aren’t leviathans. I think that pda entry will be changed (probably with the 2.0 update) there’s several things in pda that aren’t correct (like some stuff under “exploitables” aren’t usable, idk maybe they once were but aren’t now)

[brazen dragon]

Also lots of mentions about the stasis rifle

[warped hinge]

Wait, really? But they have Chelicerate HP? Is it because they don’t have hostile Leviathan damage stats even though they are right now currently classified as small hostile Leviathans?

[broken badge]

The snowfox isn’t that bad. People have different preferences and it’s fine if they don’t want to use it. I get it’s drifty, but it can keep you warm, and I just think some things about BZ people complain just for sake of complaining

[broken badge]

Idk the details, I just know they’re not considered leviathans

[elder oyster]

I don't hate the snowfox

[brazen dragon]

I don’t hate it but do not like it

[elder oyster]

And I feel like that won't change in 2.0

[brazen dragon]

It’s meh like a 6/10

[broken badge]

Yeah, I don’t see the snowfox changing for 2.0

[elder oyster]

nor the fact that squidsharks aren't really considered leviathans

[brazen dragon]

I do hope the terrain glitches get fixed with the big shrimps

Also much more hp on them and more aggression

[elder oyster]

i wonder if they will fix where their voxel terrian got messed up and left tiny spikes in the world

[brazen dragon]

Oh also how some of the ores in the world you literally can’t reach

[broken badge]

The issue with leviathans clipping is not a “bug” in the sense of it’s not anticipated. It has to happen because of the way the engine or something operates and because of their size. Only their head has the hitbox registration, I’ve seen it explained before so yeah, it’s not ideal but there’s not a lot can be done about it

[warped hinge]

Me neither. I’ve built it before in pre-release builds, but with no storage of its own, increased vulnerability to Ice Worms, difficult handling, and the requirement for special infrastructure, I just find the Snowfox to be very superfluous.

[elder oyster]

special infrastructure

as in only a snowfox pad, that's really cheap to build?

[warped hinge]

Well, it is more expensive now, and you have to remember where you put it!

[next current]

Some recipes in Below Zero are too cheap imo.

[broken badge]

There’s magnetite under the large room at Phi

[elder oyster]

there is enough magnetite on that island to build like 50 snowfoxes

[brazen dragon]

I dislike titanium bars being 5 titanium now instead of the usual… was it 12?

[elder oyster]

10

[brazen dragon]

Close enough

[broken badge]

I just put the snowfox pad near the bridge, easy to find (I put a beacon near the bridge too)

[elder oyster]

I like it, its more convenient

[next current]

Well... there really isn't a good source of Titanium anymore.

[brazen dragon]

Fair

[elder oyster]

10 titanium is kinda ridiculous, and I think the moon pool still uses 10 to construct.

[next current]

Actually scratch that.

[broken badge]

I can’t believe anyone would complain about a reduction in titanium for ingots😅

[warped hinge]

Maybe in 2.0 we can get Large Lead Outcrops?

[next current]

You get Titanium in almost every biome.

[brazen dragon]

Yes please!

[warped hinge]

Please? We NEED them!

[next current]

That's what I'm saying.

[elder oyster]

titanium, quarz, and copper can be found everywhere

enough so you can make a basic base anywhere on the map more or less

[brazen dragon]

Also I’d say up the amount of shadows to 6 instead of 4

[broken badge]

They do make you work for the lead. Which I’ve never really understood why they didn’t put at least a FEW lead deposits on the map😔

[warped hinge]

Foundation Pads and Nuclear technology is SUCH a pain in BZ because of the lack of Large Lead Outcrops

[next current]

Like... Large Lead Deposits would go so well in the Mining Site.

[bold monolith]

Doubt.

[elder oyster]

nuclear is literally free i have no idea what you're talking about

[next current]

What do you doubt, Ignis?

[elder oyster]

you get 6 reactor rods for free dotted around the mercury 2 parts

[warped hinge]

Master Ignis! You’re back!

[bold monolith]

That the entry will change.

[next current]

Oh yeah, agreed.

[broken badge]

I don’t think you need more shadows in the caverns
As far as someone was talking about making the game feel more achievement-worthy for playing in hardcore etc, people tend to forget the main audience for this game is casual.
They pick it up, they play it, and they are done with it. And most aren’t into playing Subnautica and BZ for a horror experience or hardcore survival aspect either

[warped hinge]

Clearly the entry was written like that for a reason

[next current]

Once the devs put something in or write a line of text in, it rarely ever gets removed.

[brazen dragon]

What amount a new mode that could be played that would increase the difficulty drastically?

[next current]

And I mean like questionable things.

[broken badge]

I believe there were plans for them to change at some point, but I do agree with you it’s unlikely now

[bold monolith]

A while ago Cory said this.

[warped hinge]

Yeah, I agree. Personally, I’d like to see a little harder Subnautica sequel as not necessarily Subnautica 2, but a spin-off.

[next current]

Silly Cory.

[bold monolith]

And I don't think they'll change that.

It's too minor anyway.

[elder oyster]

custom sn difficulty will be interesting

[broken badge]

I was talking about pda changes in general, probably won’t see them even for the things that aren’t entirely accurate

[elder oyster]

unless it is glaringly wrong, there's no real reason to change it

I have 111 unread entries in my pda databank in my completed hardcore save

[broken badge]

A lot of people don’t even read the story related stuff that would be considered “important” or relevant lol

[elder oyster]

And I've read at least 100 more

[warped hinge]

Reminds me of the person who refused to go on the Aurora and never realized Subnautica actually had an ending.

[broken badge]

Lol

[next current]

Yeah... it's a shame that the game never released into 1.0.

[warped hinge]

True story, I don’t remember where I read it, but that happened to someone out there, they were too scared to ever go on the Aurora and never found the ending.

[brazen dragon]

Oh also how much does each sea truck hit do?

[next current]

Yes.

That's the most accurate answer we have.

[elder oyster]

not enough to kill an eye jelly

[brazen dragon]

Cuz that needs to be turned way the crap down

[warped hinge]

Base x SPEED

[elder oyster]

it kills prey fish that's it

[bold monolith]

It depends on your velocity, but it uses the mass of the Seatruck so it deals a lot.

[elder oyster]

yet boosting i still can't kill an eye jelly by ramming it with four modules

[warped hinge]

Er, no. It kills Cryptosuchi in 2 good rams

[bold monolith]

You should, I don't think the eye jelly has more than 200 health does it?

[elder oyster]

eye jelly dies in 5 knife hits

[broken badge]

I just run into the jellies a few times, it works, sometimes I have to repair the truck between hits

[warped hinge]

Are you sure that’s not the baby Eye Jelly that has 200?

[broken badge]

There’s so many around the dock near Phi

[elder oyster]

did the devs make them super loud just to bother us?

[warped hinge]

I think the Adult Eye Jelly has more

[elder oyster]

which also explains why there's like 70000 of them

[next current]

The standard knife deals about 20 dps iirc.

[warped hinge]

How much does the Heated one do?

[next current]

I think 40.

And somehow the Noot Fish is able to survive a single slash from the thermoblade.

[elder oyster]

it takes me like 3 to kill a nootfish at least

[brazen dragon]

Ok but these things are way too easy to kill

[broken badge]

Why would you bother tho

[warped hinge]

Nootfish has a damage reduction from all sources. It takes 5 Thermoblade hits to cook a Nootfish.

[brazen dragon]

Tbh I want to make a giant area of just Cryptosuchus

[broken badge]

Perimeter defense makes it easy to deal with shadows

Or anything really

[bold monolith]

It just has 100 health.

[brazen dragon]

It’s too OP really

[next current]

Just use the Western Iceberg Zone.

It's pretty empty over there.

[brazen dragon]

These area is pretty contained though

[elder oyster]

western is full of eye jellies

f that place.

[next current]

I mean the section that's closest to the World Edge.

[warped hinge]

To be honest, I think a weapon-containing Subnautica would have the potential to be harder and more scary, because then you could really let the creatures off their leashes and let them them have all sorts of interesting and dangerous behaviors by default, like stalking you for nautical miles

[next current]

Literally nothing back there besides possibly-edible rocks.

[broken badge]

The custom game options will let you adjust aggression I think? But idk if you can make them more aggressive than they already are

[brazen dragon]

Meh true but I already killed two of the shadows

[broken badge]

The devs are not into making the game about violence I do know that

[elder oyster]

having the monsters being killable at all is kind of an extravagance

[warped hinge]

Right now what’s holding Subnautica back is the creatures are leashed a bit, as because of the focus on non-violence, being able to work around their presence is critical, but because being able to work around their presence is a thing, it makes the game both less hard and less scary

[brazen dragon]

I want more horror and more survival ngl, better stuff, but at the cost of much more dangerous stuff

[warped hinge]

Indeed. I want these pit bulls off their chains

[elder oyster]

i'd say a cheli taking off 75 hp with a single bite and isntakilling you if you're below 77 is pretty dangerous

[next current]

Personally, I think Leviathans should be invulnerable. Making the player have to go in with brains instead of brawns.

[broken badge]

That’s not what most players want tho

[warped hinge]

True, but there’s the defense module, which is broken and stupid, and they’re not nearly aggressive enough

[bold monolith]

The default is 1, you can go up to 10.

[brazen dragon]

Now that sounds fun

[broken badge]

I think leviathans should be invulnerable as well

[warped hinge]

Does it increase their Aggro range?

[elder oyster]

I don't think the game would benefit from a more violent focus

[brazen dragon]

I do not think the leviathans should be invulnerable, just a stupidly high amount of hp

[next current]

Agreed.

[brazen dragon]

That way the true gamers could still kill one but it would truly be a challenge

[broken badge]

The devs decided they didn’t want their games to focus on violence, following the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary

[bold monolith]

Probably not.

[brazen dragon]

What about the decrease timer in which it will try to attack again?

[warped hinge]

But think about it, the only way to make the game more scary, paradoxically, is by making peace impossible, so you HAVE to fight your way through the monsters instead of cowardly evading them, but like a good horror game, the weapons should be on the inadequate/inefficient side of things so the combat is really hard and scary.

[brazen dragon]

What I truly feel is lacking for the “horror below the sea” vibe is darkness

Hotel???

Actually never mind about auto correct

I feel as though the caverns are too bright

[broken badge]

I think using stealth and tactics is very gamer-worthy

[elder oyster]

as long as it's not skyrim's stupid...

[bold monolith]

That's pretty much the whole point of the aggression multiplier. I have a video for a bug report let me grab it.

[broken badge]

No one forces you to use perimeter defense

[elder oyster]

dominant strategy of sneak archer

[bold monolith]

Here it is set to 10.

[warped hinge]

Everyone knows that. They wanted to send a message, as everyone does these days about something. Trouble is, I think they kind of let their message get in the way of a better game

[brazen dragon]

Now that’s awesome

Also what’s up with the crash fish AI being a bit less than smart, like they run into walls and such

[warped hinge]

Everyone, do tell me, what’s scarier? Quietly avoiding your fear, or facing it down directly with less than adequate means of dealing with it?

[brazen dragon]

A lot slower too

[sick shuttle]

I remember a dumb thing i did in below zero, I had the rebreather but 75 oxygen and went down to the crystal caves and then I got jumped by a shadow leviathan but I got 1 kyanite so I see this as an absolute win

[brazen dragon]

Yeah it really depends ngl

[broken badge]

BZ was made with a lot of Subnautica feedback in mind. So my bet is on people wanting the game to feel less horror-esque (and while I don’t know about the feedback specifically, going off tons of chat experience, I would also say players probably wanted the game to be a bit easier to follow)

[warped hinge]

True, but if you never encounter your fear, kinda takes the bite out of it, doesn’t it?

[broken badge]

Everyone is different

I don’t really buy into the whole “I gotta face my fear and kill a leviathan” thing

[earnest thicket]

i should start playing bz again soon

[broken badge]

It wouldn’t do anything for me, it would be a waste of time

[brazen dragon]

I feel like that running away is a lot scarier because you tend to be thinking “oh my god please don’t kill me”

[broken badge]

I have scanned them

[earnest thicket]

killing leviathans is just kinda boring for me

[broken badge]

When people show off pictures of dead leviathans it’s pretty cringe ngl

[sick shuttle]

I honestly just play with if I was playing with a pet and whenever the chelicerate grabs my truck I just shock and go back to playing around with it

I only do it when I'm bored

[earnest thicket]

did it once, didnt get much thrill out of it

it was just like yeah sure i did kill it

[warped hinge]

At the very least, putting less-than-efficient weapons into the game would allow for much more aggressive and interesting Leviathans, with improved and diverse both both visually and mechanically attacks

[brazen dragon]

You know when reading that I understand that now thinking about it and I apologize for doing that

[broken badge]

It’s ok

At least BZ isn’t as bad as the Subnautica chat is sometimes

[warped hinge]

Imagine an Leviathan of some type encapsulating a Cyclops or Cyclops-like sub!

[broken badge]

People really do have a thing for posting dead reaper and ghost pics smh

[warped hinge]

Or giving chase for INCREDIBLE distances

[brazen dragon]

I do feel like there is much more of a reward killing a reaper because it’s just….so much scarier

[earnest thicket]

yay i killed a leviathan now what

[warped hinge]

Like half the map kind of distances

[broken badge]

Yeah but using a stasis rifle is like cheating
Even rodeo & drill isn’t fair

[earnest thicket]

i think the last time i had fun with killing leviathans was like, a year ago

[brazen dragon]

I mean I agree with the stasis rifle but that thing turned it’s head so much when I was trying to kill it and I was terrified

[next current]

Eww... the Stasis Rifle.

[earnest thicket]

only time i really use the stasis rifle for things is to scan them

[brazen dragon]

Ngl that’s how I scanned a ghost

[next current]

Heading the name of that item makes me want to vomit my dinner up.

[earnest thicket]

yeah

[broken badge]

For the most part, I don’t really mind what people are doing in their games. I just don’t like to see people try to convince others to do the same because I think everyone should make up their own mind without being influenced to do the same stuff, and unfortunately people do get influenced by others to go kill

[warped hinge]

As I’ve been saying, no weapons in the game means the Leviathans have had to be kept to a manageable level, with manageable all aggression, behavior, and attacks

[brazen dragon]

I feel like you need some weapons at least

[next current]

1. Too op.
2. Aiming it is weird unless the targeted creatures are moving in a straight line.

[foggy vine]

Lol

[warped hinge]

If there were even weak regular weapon types, they really could go bonkers with the Leviathans

[earnest thicket]

most of the time i just try to avoid the dangerous things

doesnt matter the vehicle, i aint getting near them

[warped hinge]

And make them far more crazy than they could ever currently be allowed to be

[next current]

And having to get out of your vehicle every time is just annoying.

[sick shuttle]

I have given the chelicerate a name!

[brazen dragon]

Oh what is it?

[sick shuttle]

Gertrude

[broken badge]

In both games, the leviathans are easily avoided until late game (with the exception of your first play, when you don’t know where they are)

[brazen dragon]

Sounds perfect

[next current]

That's a cute name.

[earnest thicket]

yep!

[elder oyster]

there is more than one cheli

[next current]

I shall name one Shelly.

[brazen dragon]

Tbh my first playthrough of subnautica I was literally terrified, but bz it was mostly bright open water and I could see them from the distance quite easily

[next current]

Or Shellby.

[warped hinge]

I don’t know, they just don’t do it for me. Something that actual weapons would allow is not confining them to specific sections of specific biomes and allow them to regularly wander biomes, even ones that might usually be very safe.

[earnest thicket]

id say the biggest annoyance is ampeels

[earnest thicket]

what if they wandered to close to spawn when early into the game?

[sick shuttle]

Below zero soundtrack or Subnautica soundtrack

[warped hinge]

Ampeels before the nerf: <Terminator theme> Ampeels AFTER the nerf: “On top of old SPARK-Y, all covered with WATER!”

[earnest thicket]

only annoying for when chilling with cyclops

[warped hinge]

Subnautica. Ben did a good job with BZ’s, but it still lacks a truly iconic track, unlike Subnautica, which has Into The Unknown.

[sick shuttle]

Into The Unknown is amazing

[earnest thicket]

abandon ship as well

[sick shuttle]

Everybody gangsta til leviathan starts playing

[next current]

BZ really doesn't have a main... theme.

[broken badge]

I like BZ soundtrack but I don’t like how there’s so little variation in the biomes, how it’ll be just a couple of tracks that repeat over and over and it drives me crazy
Subnautica has many great tunes

[warped hinge]

Speaking of BZ’s soundtrack, the history of one particular track makes me very angry

[sick shuttle]

Fair but when I'm in my base vibing arctic peeper is a bop

[warped hinge]

Cathedral

[earnest thicket]

bz soundtrack: do
subnautica soundtrack: do do do do odo oodo odo odod

[next current]

Rite of the Deep is still my favorite song in the OST.

[warped hinge]

Cathedral USED to play in the 2 larger sections of Mercury II

And Tree Spires had something else

[sick shuttle]

If subnautica had a jukebox like BZ I would of been less scared

[broken badge]

I wish the soundtrack to BZ included the jukebox tracks

[warped hinge]

That’s why the opening of Cathedral has the weird creepy ghost sounds and creaks that it does

[broken badge]

Or maybe as a soundtrack+ option

[warped hinge]

But it got moved somewhere down the line to be the theme to the Tree Spires

So now the Mercury II has no special music and the Tree Spires has a wholly inappropriate track that wasn’t made for it and sticks out like a sore thumb

[sick shuttle]

Subnautica Stimulus is my favorite jukebox track

[warped hinge]

Because no part of Mercury II is even IN the Tree Spires, or quite close enough to trigger that track

[elder oyster]

My favourite jukebox track is MECHA BEE DESTROYER BLASTLORD

yes the title of the song is all caps

[warped hinge]

Sh4dow, why WAS Cathedral moved out of Mercury II? Do you know?

[broken badge]

I didn’t have early access, so no idea

[warped hinge]

Do you know anyone who you could ask who would know?

If so, could you ask them for me some time?

[broken badge]

The people I speak with in playtesting aren’t likely to know, they deal with bugfixes, you know QA things, they probably won’t know why audio tracks were rearranged. Sorry😔

I’ll try to remember to ask, but I don’t imagine they’ll know

[next current]

Maybe because it might've been a placeholder track.

[warped hinge]

Placeholder for what though? The soundscape of Mercury II is almost dead-empty now, the outside biome’s music doesn’t generally play inside, there’s no more dedicated track for the inside, and there’s very little sound effects inside too.

[broken badge]

Believe me, I have gripes about the audio too, like how I make a base in upper lilypads and like many other places, the same 2 tracks just play on repeat and it drives me INSANE, there’s all this music in BZ but it’s all dedicated to specific moments for the game so the rest of the experience just feels kinda dull😔

Not because the music is bad, the variety is bad

I just think if you’re not playing story events, the tracks aren’t “mixed well” for player experience

Maybe they figured you’d use the jukebox a lot, idk

I don’t use the jukebox a lot, because tbh the acoustics suck in bases

[warped hinge]

Oh, and there’s another relatively empty soundscape in the game as well. The Tree Spires route to Marge’s base, under the Tree Spires biome itself, has no dedicated music assigned to it and the aforementioned Cathedral, stolen from Mercury II to play in the Tree Spires, doesn’t play down there.

[lime grove]

I love when my growbeds glow while its night

[next current]

Yeah... all lighting on exterior base pieces do that after loading a save.

[broken badge]

I always wondered why they did that

[marsh fiber]

this has probably been asked many times but are the devs planning to add any major updates or only minor updates from now on?

[lime grove]

everything can happen on an alien planet

[bold monolith]

It's a bug.

[warped hinge]

Speaking of bases, I hate making bases in Vent Regions

Vents have infinitely tall collision, so no matter how high above a vent your base is, when the vent goes off, it will ding your base and cause flooding.

[broken badge]

I know it’s a bug Ignis

Lol

[bold monolith]

Then you shouldn't wonder why they did it?

Since it is not intentional.

[broken badge]

I didn’t know it was because lighting on bases pieces

What Slicey said

[lime grove]

bruh i need to look for sea monkey nests to find propulsion cannon fragments

[warped hinge]

I’m trying to build a base near the Deep Purple Vents entrance to the Crystal Caves, and I’m running across a big problem with the Supermassive Vent, no matter how high above it I build a base piece, when the SV goes off, it automatically dings my base piece and causes instant flooding.

[bold monolith]

One major is 2.0.

[broken badge]

You can read the blog posted in #announcements about the coming 2.0 updates for BZ and Subnautica

[daring solar]

Oh yeah
Forgot that was coming

[warped hinge]

Ignis, why does the height above the SV not matter when it comes to the SV Supermassive (Purple) Vent damaging a base piece?

[broken badge]

If anyone would know about the change of placement for the track Cathedral, it might be Ignis since he knows more than any of us around here But idk if he knows why it was changed

[bold monolith]

I don't indeed. I don't even know what this track is. ^.^

[bold monolith]

I'll test.

[broken badge]

That’s what I said, I don’t know anyone that likely would know about audio changes

Not music placements I mean

[warped hinge]

Not even Ben probably knows, he was just contracted to write it!

It was none of his business where it went

[lime grove]

guys i wanted to find 1 more fragment for propulsion cannon but i found an ||obelisk, 2 ion cubes|| and almost all the fragments for the ultra high capacity tank

if you create a thermoblade with an empty battery and use the recylcotron on it, the battery will be full

[next current]

Yeah... I typically don't play with exploits tho.

[candid sparrow]

oh it didnt work

[ashen jolt]

POV you have the prawn arm but not the hand held one

[ashen jolt]

Yeah I have to keep a jump jet upgrade on at all times while on any of the islands

[ashen jolt]

Wait there is more than 1

That explains a lot

Yeah, there's 4 in total.

[ashen jolt]

Do they respawn

No.

I'm good at the game but not that good.

[ashen jolt]

To the wiki

[next current]

Also boo... both as a ghost thing and as a sign of disappointment.

Oh gosh

It would take 208 seconds of drill

The wiki doesn’t list damage of the gas torpedo

Going to the crystal caverns, just packing some backup power, just a little.

I do plan to do a lot of stuff there

what she be watching

[lime grove]

you dont have the ||ion stuff||?

[burnt aurora]

i do, but i don't have the resources to craft them yet

[lime grove]

do you not have ||ion cubes|| or lithium

[magic dune]

What's the maximum number of compartments the seatruck can have?

[burnt aurora]

idk check the wiki

[fierce harbor]

any good BZ mods?

maybe more hostiles or leviathans

[dusk steppe]

Are torpedoes worth anything in the crystal caves?

[eternal garnet]

nope

What you want is the truck perimeter defense, fired right at the start of an attack

[dusk steppe]

Gotcha. I've been using the prawn suit and haven't gotten anywhere other than just repairing all the time

Took me hours to get to where I needed for the docking module

I build a base by the foot of it, going for a more deep reef playthrough now that I've got all the depth modules. Stocked up on essentials like lubricant and table coral, only big issue is the journey up whenever I want a new module

[eternal palm]

Hi

[winter oriole]

are the teleportation module so to travel through the truck faster

[bold monolith]

It might be for convenience with the module's ingredients since I remember he gathered the resources and didn't cheat them.

But there is no cycle when you use the teleportation tool.

You'll be warped in the first you built, if it is powered.

Which makes having multiple teleportation modules totally useless in creative.

[lime grove]

guys i came back succesfully from the ||bow of mercury 2|| and got everything i wanted

plus some titanium

[onyx geyser]

hhey guys, is there a way to deconstruct storage boxes? i have made a bunch of them at the start of the game but i don't require it now.

anyways to get the materials or should i discard them to the thrash?

[eternal garnet]

2nd half of the game you get the recyclotron. But it's not worth waiting for 4 titanium. Leave them floating

[onyx geyser]

ok.. right now i have made a starter base of water filteration, some planter beds (internal + external), got the vehicle upgrade station, explored the aurora. in process to scan cyclops and prawn suit, i got a kind of vision from some being, found an entrance which needs orange tablet... not sure what to do next..

the game is wonderful but now it is getting bit lost.. what to do next..i visited the 2 islands as well..

||this is spoiler tag||

[ashen jolt]

Yesn’t they plan on doing it at some point but it hasn’t started development

[lost rampart]

I spent 70 percent of my prawn battery on trying to kill a shadow leviathan

[lime grove]

on normal power cells?

[lost rampart]

Yes

[lime grove]

why you ont make the ||ion power cells||

[lost rampart]

It kept glitching, and idk how to make em

Also how do I use spoiler tag?

[lime grove]

|| on start and onend

[lost rampart]

Ok thanks

[elder oyster]

[versed wraith]

Hi all! Sorry for intruding, I'm not sure this is the right place to ask. But does anyone here happen to run Below Zero via the Epic launcher? I bought it on Epic in a sale three years ago, and yes, I realize that was a mistake, don't hate on me 😓 Now that it's out of Early Access and I want to play it, I keep getting the message "Launch failed. Could not launch Subnautica Below Zero. Please verify the installation". I verified it two times already and nothing changed ...

The Epic FAQ says "If you still see this error after you've verified your game files, it is likely that you're trying to play a version of the game that is no longer available, such as a press, beta, or alpha version. " So I'm wondering has anyone else heard of this? Is the version on Epic still supported and up to date?

[eternal garnet]

yes... the Epic version is good

[ashen jolt]

Can we make it cannon that snowfoxes are raced on other planets(not 34b)

[eternal garnet]

I'd uninstall and reinstall. Delete save folder if you want to make sure. Here:
%userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Unknown Worlds\Subnautica Below Zero\SubnauticaBelowZero\SavedGames

[winter oriole]

Why not on 34b

[ashen jolt]

Because it’s a research site not a HQ/employee housing

It’s like the Arctic research stations

People live there but not a lot of recreation

[elder oyster]

A bit too cold in arctic/Antarctic for any sort of outside recreation

[lime grove]

I dont understand

[ashen jolt]

Yeah I have had invisible lithium in the past

[elder oyster]

I've had lithium spawn inside the terrian.

aaaand that lithium is probably not in that argentite outcrop it's somewhere else

[versed wraith]

I did find the solution online after all. Apparently this error is caused by Below Zero trying to be run with administrator privileges while my Epic installation did not have them. After I unchecked the box in the properties of the game's executable, it worked fine (alternatively I guess I could also have run the Epic launcher as administrator, but this was easier for now). Thanks for your reply though, much appreciated! 🙂

[lost rampart]

How do I navigate the || arctic spires for the body component? ||

[lime grove]

bruh like 80%of the "lithium" my scanner room found is not existing

[eternal garnet]

cool

[elder oyster]

follow the instructions ||ALAN|| gave you

||(head northeast)||

[lost rampart]

I was trying to find it for like half an hour but I couldnt

Thanks

[elder oyster]

And follow the green lights

[eternal garnet]

northeast. Near the bridge, go the east route into the tunnel. Then just NE. Any alien cabling, follow their north ends

[elder oyster]

The weather's pretty bad there, but there's a mountain at the back you might be able to see weather permitting

[lost rampart]

I realized that Chelicerate Leviathans don't do any damage to Seatruck when you have perimeter defense system

[elder oyster]

nothing does.

Perimeter Defence is OP.

[lost rampart]

Leviathans are just a minor inconvenience now I can't believe I thought they were a threat inside a vehicle

[elder oyster]

(They were never a threat inside a vehicle lmao.)

[ashen jolt]

I found one of the body components on accident

[elder oyster]

in my first playthrough, I found outpost zero right away

[lost rampart]

I'm still trying to find ||omega lab at Lilly pad islands||.

[eternal garnet]

it's ||inside the big rock covering deep lilypads||

[lime grove]

Im questioning the logic

[eternal garnet]

it's inside the wall. it happens

[lime grove]

for my luck it happens 80% of the time

[lost rampart]

How easy I would beat Below Zero creatures in a fight

[elder oyster]

"who are you" they are the fish you run over in the seatruck.
(left to right: hivemind (this is a plant lmao), symbiote, rockgrub, baby sea monkey, triops)

[lime grove]

Ah yes a plant

[wind lance]

I feel like I'm somewhere I shouldn't be.

[lime grove]

how you got to the ice worm testing

[wind lance]

I skyrim'd my way on top using the Prawn Suit.

[lime grove]

oh

[foggy vine]

Loooooool I got there too

[wind lance]

Nice.

[foggy vine]

You can only get there with shrimp suit

[wind lance]

Yeah, the jumps that suit can pull off are ridiculous.

[lime grove]

guys i got a new bait for the leviathans

[wind lance]

And this is my first playthrough, too.

[foggy vine]

@wind lance I have played once

So was my first and last playthrough

Lol

[wind lance]

I don't why my first instinct in every game I play is just to break it immediately, but it's hilarious.

[lost rampart]

How do I report a bug? I just got out of my seatruck sideways and now I'm walking in water

[lime grove]

i got bait/food for leviathans

[earnest thicket]

okay but why

[lime grove]

yes

[earnest thicket]

those poor little penglings

[lime grove]

they will respawn

[earnest thicket]

I know

but still

[lime grove]

should i put them in an alien containment

[earnest thicket]

yes

[lime grove]

ok

what in gods heaven is this

[earnest thicket]

uh

[lime grove]

i didnt even click it but im getting my cross and holy bible

[earnest thicket]

yeah but what's it play?

if it's more of that crap I ain't clicking it

is it a bait and switch?

then im not gonna click it

no it's 12 pm and im not mentally prepared for anything right now

I just woke up

then what the hell is it

tell me first

[lime grove]

rick roll would be better than the picture

[earnest thicket]

jesus christ you posted it again

then what the hell is in the video

[lime grove]

ok it aint bad

it litteraly had jesus

[earnest thicket]

oh

bible 2

[ashen jolt]

What does this have to do with subnatica

[eternal garnet]

You were warned. Do you even notice

okbye

[earnest thicket]

yknow that is a really good question

[spark steppe]

I beat BZ and it was worth the many hours

[earnest thicket]

BZ is fun

what was your favorite part

[eternal garnet]

@elder oyster wb

[elder oyster]

Thanks I guess?

automod is too aggressive and too opaque

[ashen jolt]

Using baby penglings as test subjects

[earnest thicket]

oh

[brazen dragon]

welp this is pain

[ashen jolt]

You thought that was kyanite I am guessing

[brazen dragon]

Nope, I can only drill half of it

[glass falcon]

How

[lime grove]

half of the deposit is glitched under the textures, that means he will get half of the quartz

[glass falcon]

I mean how did he do that?

[lime grove]

game's fault

[glass falcon]

It looks good

[lime grove]

i know the pain because i wanted to get more lithium but like 80% of it was glitched in the textures

[fiery basalt]

Hi

[lime grove]

Hi

[glass falcon]

Hi

[fiery basalt]

Subnautica below zero was a good game

[lime grove]

you can go to the #role-assignment and select your pronounce and what you play on

it will be usefull for people to know it

[wind lance]

So I've been walking around on top of the ice, and it's kinda spooky just how empty it is out there.

[fiery basalt]

That's cool how do you get up there

[lime grove]

prawn + jet upgrade

[wind lance]

I skyrim'd my way up with the Prawn Suit.

Surprisingly easy, actually.

[fiery basalt]

Oooooo

[wind lance]

There are lot of spooky noises up there.

[lime grove]

time to get the ||parallel processing unitfrom the stern||

[wind lance]

Wind, vague creature sounds in the distance, etc.

[dusk steppe]

Glacial iceberg is so much easier to get around in than EA

[lime grove]

from the ||stern or the other small one cause i've been to the bpw||

[fiery basalt]

I bet it is the iceworm

[lime grove]

oh no wind is scary

[wind lance]

It feels like the Subnautica equivalent of the Backrooms

In a way.

[fiery basalt]

Ooooooo

[lime grove]

well im ngl but the wind is sometimes scary

[fiery basalt]

What if the ice worm try to spawn up there

On top of the glacier

[wind lance]

I don't think it can.

[fiery basalt]

Me to

[wind lance]

Funnily enough, there's a developer's Ice Worm testing area on top of the ice, nearby the hydraulic bridge thing.

[fiery basalt]

Wait what no way

[lime grove]

time to get the ||test override module and disable the satelite||

[fiery basalt]

Ooooo is that the place on the glacier in the videos

[carmine bobcat]

Do you remember me? Low Fps and always lags. Still I can't fix it and in kelp Forrest there are pink snakes coming idk why and my FPS are lower than 35 now

Pink snakes

Pink snakes are not supposed to be in the kelp forest
