The only thing I can do is remove and add the batteries and upgrades. Being able to save the upgrades was nice.
Because the dock model was edited, the dock moved. This is my theory
Ya so how can I destroy the truck. It wonโt let me disassemble them dock because it still thinks the truck is inside.
shoot it with ideally crashfish, or just rocks. Prop cannon
I believe "item crash" does not put it in inventory, sadly
why are there bubbles lol
I beieve it means damaged truck. Bit misplaced here, but hey it's a game
yeah it's for damage
but it doesn't make sense to have bubbles there
no
unknown worlds tends to misplace bubble effects lol
in the main game the same happened with the flame knife
that was bad. never stopped
I also had such a bug. Just suicide
I also had a funny bug that allowed me to walk on the seabed as if on the surface.
@tidal sparrow what do you mean? If I die, it will just respawn my body in the base, it wonโt move the bugged truck.
I think I had a slightly different situation because I was in the deep end. Try to disassemble the structure or break the Seatruck
shooting the truck will work, not sure how fast
Here have a pic of this beautiful kitty
Sam was into robotics, and she made that leg
I totally forgot this cat's name
Potato is the inofficial name
Ok I smashed the truck with the prawn suit and then disassembled the buggy dock. Thanks for all your help guys. Appreciated!
I was going to suggest, but I thought it wasn't allowed in there
im so confused whatdo i do after i get the seaglide
theres no radio like the original lol
explore all the things. Especially deep twisty bridges, any distress signals, and any island
no there isn't. You get something else soon
so explore?
But, even that doesn't pull you everywhere. You gotta explore
bad guide
Explore every area you find, if not now then come back and do it
Too deep? Do not forget to come back with the rebreather
aight
the partial guidance you can get, is related to the distress signal
are there any o2 tanks after the first one?
or do i have to explore to get their bp's
yes, ultra and boost (meh)
both for finding in seamonkey nests
oh wait. Large inbetween
this is in Twisty at depth ||120m ||
is it normal that i cant get out of this screen(with vortex and qmodmanager)
you broke it. Note qmod is not compatible with experimental atm.
if that's not it, one of your mods is breaking it
no only qmod i just wanted to see if i had the mods section in options. and vortex is a mod manager of nexusmods
on experimental?
how many ion cubes are needed to beat the game?
i dont think so where do you check
One.
nice, I can make the rest into ion stuff
Are you on steam? if not, what
microsft store, i have gamepass so its free
I don't know if it's meant to work there. Looks like no. Best remove it: rename or delete folder bepinex in the app folder
How much young cotton / Flowering Spores do I need?
knife the small cotton and plant them, then you need 1.
spores, not sure. At least 2
Two makes 1 benzene
Looks like you may need only 2 ever. But they do make nice outdoor lights, just dropped
Aw they patched the thing that you could use empty batteries in a recipe to make them full
big sad
I don't know if it was ever a thing in below zero
it still works in the first game though
so sad that they realised the mistake
yeah, used it in the og once because I ran out of copper
I used it before I had the recharger
It was great because I didn't need to make new batteries all the time
yeah, I always made sure to have only the lowest powered battery I had in my inventory and make something with that
yeah same
anything important I should bring to crystal caverns?
dont you need prawn to drill kyanite?
doesn't that biome have the shadow thing?
No. but if you need to, there's nice drilling here
okay
gold, silver, nickel
oh, I need nickel, so probably yeah
I've seen it in videos. But I am trying to avoid storyline since I pretty much spoiled the original game for myself lol
haven't done that to myself for the second one
I've accidently seen some cloud city in a video but no clue what it means luckily
oh, I should explain that then
maybe it's heaven and the character died peacefully ๐
no
maybe don't watch spoiler vids
yeah, woops
yeah, Imma try to go into the third/second one blind
didn't you spoil below zero already?
oh, so 2025. ok
what do you mean second one then?
well, techniqually BZ isn't subnautica two, more of a side story, but its the second game
Well it takes place after subnautica
I don't think our character from the first story has an interesting story to tell anymore
he has to pay off his debt
I agree, second, not "two"
SN 2.0 and BZ 2.0 coming soon. These are just updates with some new items
But ngl, I kinda wish I could choose the pda voice, the new one is not that nice. I also really dislike the character voice lol, being silent was much nicer. I do like Alan's voice though, it's soothing
I've said this before and I'll say it again
I don't understand why everyone says BZ isn't "Subnautica 2"
now I know it isn't called that but think about it, they take place on the same planet, they both have Subnautica in the name and everything else about them makes it obvious that they're the same kind of game and that BZ is a continuation of the first one
just because it doesn't continue the exact same story from the first one doesn't mean it shouldn't be considered the second Subnautica game
I'm not saying it should be called Subnautica 2, but I also don't think that's a completely wrong name for it if people wanna call it that
btw, that came from Shad4w the mod, I don't care if you call it subnautica 2 or not
yeah I know, I've just seen the argument so many times
same, I'm tired of it
there have been no other Subnautica games after the 1st one except BZ so by logical conclusion it is the second game
I don't think they should name the next game subnautica 2 though, it would get really confusing
agreed
either they name it subnautica 3 or give it another name like below zero
Well
if it does end up being an actual Subnautica game and not just one in the same universe, I very much doubt it'll be called "Subnautica 3" as that's just a super generic name
Subnautica: This One's Just All Lava.
Subnautica: On Land
I'd absolutely love a game called "Subnautica: Into The Abyss" where there's tons of really deep, scary biomes and deadly creatures compared to either SN1 or BZ
yes
well that's a bit of an oxymoron lol
This is better.
Then after they crank out a few of those, they drop Subnautica: Dipping Our Toes Back In.
I'm sure the "Subnautica: On Land" thing was just a joke but if it was all on land it wouldn't be Subnautica anymore as the name literally translates to "underwater" ๐
Idk if that's a good idea. I liked that in the original only a handfull of creatures had eating animations, now they all seem to have them lol
I swear, why is it so hard to find the pilot when you need to, but when you don't want to, it seems thats all you can find
this is facts lol
it used to be something special and scary, but now you get used to it
It would just be because sub=under nautical=water
we can have an island with a river?
problem solved
most of the game should take place in water, like vital resources n stuff
Jokes are hard, eh?
p a r d o n ?
Because 5 seemed a bit excessive
I just hope they'll reduce the damn titanium spawn chance in the next game lol
it's a bit much now
I dreamed about a 3rd Subnautica game last night, interestingly enough
only things I remember was there was a biome in an underwater cave that sort of reminded me of the Jellyshroom Caves in SN1 and at some point it led to a giant underwater expanse that went really deep and there was remains of Chelicerates, showing that there could've been something even bigger preying on them
idk it doesn't make a ton of sense now but it was really cool at the time
yo, thats interesting
imo they should have kept the same spawn chance of titanium as in the normal game, with the lowered cost of the ingots (like, it costs only half what it used to) it would have been balanced enough. Maybe it would have been better if they had increased copper spawn chances
I had a Subnautica dream a while ago, too! All I remember is this lobster guy about the length of 1 1/2 bonesharks chasing me in this seagrass biome. it was wonk
boi I have a hard enough time amassing enough titanium to build large stuff as it is ๐ having it reduced further would be the last thing I want xD
woaaah that sounds wack
how? litterally every crop has like a 1/2 spawn chance for titanium lol
I want it to be less outcrops, like 3 for most things, with a chance of titanium in it
I find more titanium than anyhting else
the lack of scrap metal everywhere in BZ makes it a lot more annoying to gather resources for base building imo
also, limestone is the only outcrop that is impossible to not find
that might be because limestone doesn't exist in BZ lol
eh, just find outcrops with the tool thingie. I believe all of them spawn titanium
you can find it in the starter biome
yeah, forgot the not
It's a good tool at night, cause the night is so damn dark in this game lol
wait is it still called limestone?
way less glowy plants
yes
yeah, all the other names changed lol
man I need to play BZ again soon xD
can't believe I got that wrong
I don't get why they added new outcrops and different names. Nothing was wrong with the old ones
some are just the old ones with a different name too
limestone doesn't even taste like limes 
are you implying you've tasted one? ๐
You're from the subnautica team right? Tell me, who's idea was it to make the switch container button left click instead of right click?
y'all like to torture us? ๐
I am from the team yes
Idk whos idea it was
Just kinda happened i guess, keep everyone on their toes
artyom is a blobfish in your mind
the worst part is, I don't think you can rebind it. Haven't found the setting in any case
yeah I'll admit it can be a little annoying having to do right click in 1 game and left click in the other, but I'm used to it now so it's not a huge inconvenience
then why do we call it limestone.. we should call it rockstone
also I'm pretty sure you can rebind it
stonestone
no, only left hand/use, you can't rebind only the container
wait till you go back to subnautica
I like the way you think
s t o n e s t o n e
I like your thinking.
thank you, i have wonderful ideas sometimes lol
if you rebind the left hand use thing it doesn't even change the switch container part
dang
so yeah, great sadness
is it not possible to rebind that? I thought I remembered doing it once
oh that's what it is
I tried, it still used left click
it just switches hand use, not switch container
I remember now
I just think they were aware of what they were doing and just did it on purpose to torture us. Every keybind can be rebounded except for that one I think ๐
can you rebind the switch container key in the first Subnautica? I don't remember
Don't know, never had a reason to look
like when I switch back to Minecraft after playing Subnautica for a long time and forget that tab doesn't open the inventory lol
at least you can rebind it
true
except I don't cause I like e being the inventory button in mc
I'm fine with different games having different buttons for stuff
Can you kill ||Shadow leviathans||
theyre none in BZ
They are ;-;
no there aren't lol
in the first game almost
in BZ there's a few unkillable creatures
in SN1 you can't kill the Sea Emperor
She just dies-
no, just goes into laboard breathing
And then poof
you never see poof
lets move SN1 discussion out of here, especially with spoilers like that
uh, ||is the body piece in crystal caverns past 650m?||
Fair point
Ventgarden and Ice Worm
Spikey trap.
oh you can't kill those either? didn't realize that
Is it just me or are the kamikaze fish way less aggressive than in the first game?
I was under the impression that we could at least briefly talk about stuff from SN1 here without worrying about spoiler tags since most people who have played BZ have also played the first one, but fair enough I guess
I'm sure there are people who didn't play SN but BZ.
I've encountered a good chunk of people who play BZ before SN1, so its just courteous there, especially with large SN1 story spoilers.
yeah I guess you're right
kinda weird that you'd play BZ before SN1 but whatever, up to them
||how much kyanite for organs, and where are they||?
||Organs are in the Crystal Caves cache I'm pretty sure, I believe it's a couple kyanite but I'd have to check||
past 650?
yeah
crap
also it's 3 pieces of kyanite
yeah, if you play bz without the first game than a lot of stuff will not make sense lol
the ||cache|| is at 820 m
||so 8 pieces to get thermal and the two depth mods, plus organs?||
aw heck
I'd have the consult the wiki but that sounds about right
๐ญ
- the first game is arguably better imo
I really enjoy both games although I'd say the first one still comes out slightly on top for me
please do, I'm stuck hiding from shadows
there are aspects of BZ that I like better than SN1 but overall the first one is the best imo
the story is better in the first one, at least from the point that I am in bz
also it was easier to know what to do, with the radio being a thing
If a 3 subnautica comes i want the ||precursors to still be alive and kinda help us||
I'm guessing its gonna be kinda like the early acces story of BZ
Yeah i heard that they basically changed everything from the ea story?
if I got it right I believe it's just 6
theres only one kyanite needed for ||organs?||
3 pieces for the ||organs||, 2 for the Prawn thermal reactor and 1 for the mk II depth module
mk I doesn't need any
oh, you forgot seatruck๐
oh I didn't realize that's what you meant
yeah, wanna get everything built before I go down
so yeah that would be 8
k, I can drop stuff then
btw, is the seamoth in bz?
the Seatruck is the replacement for the Seamoth
also, wheres water in CC?(crystal caverns)
I will miss my seamoth :*(
and kinda cyclops too, they combined them
Cyclops definitely has a lot more features but yeah there are a few shared aspects
I like the Seatruck, I would even say it's my new favorite
hey Kaveta
I like the snowfox a lot though
Howdy
idk which ones my favorite
I enjoy the modularity of the Seatruck, although I have to say the Cyclops is still easily my favourite Subnautica vehicle
you can just do a lot more with it than the Seatruck
From the OG, the Seamoth is my fave ... btw did you change your pfp?
someone needs to make a mod that allows you to build inside it, would make it the Seatruck better
and yep I did change my pfp
had the Rhett one for a long time so I decided to give it a switch finally
I thought so, I'm so used to seeing Rhett I didn't recognize you
lol
Welp I must log out a while, I have my grand-daughter's birthday party to go to
cya
have fun!
I'm probably gonna go as well and play some mc with my sister on the Wii U
I much prefer Java edition but the console one is the only version we can play together atm
cya, imma try not to die from dehydration(it hurts)
ez in bz
not when you forget to make spicy salads and run out
I just found a glitch that allows you to go into third person lol
free cam/spy pengling
guys i have a idea
large room upgrades- a buildible concle for a large room tha includes a layout of the large room and a uograde fabruicator || FABRICATOR INCLUDES: moonpool uograde: turns 1/4 of the large room into a moonpoll that can hold singular seaturck or prawn suit | power upgrade: adds a littyle expansuion to the outside of the large room that gives 100 more power storage for the entire base | observer upgrade. has a glass pipe going througha bit of the room wich allow fish to automaticly enter (can be upgraded for size to fit creatures lke for example warper size.)
ik they wont add it b ut if anyone wants to try and mod to make it happen go for it :p
Seems likely :p What's a concle? that's not a word
laggy keyboard
basicly the thing that you install in the moonpoll room to upgrade seamoth ect
but upgrades for the large room instead ;p
and if anyone wants to make it happen id be happy to help and you dont need to credit me for it ethier โค๏ธ
uh, wheres good nickel?
in below zero i think the best p-lace to find it is those little caves in the crustal caves
they have gold, nickel, some kyanite depopsits
good minerals
anywhere without more shadows?
deep lilypads (anemones)
thats good mining to
k thanks
no, the mine doesn't have nickel
i havnt played in a while so i forgor most stuff
Also: pin a nickel item (unpin all), and find some monkeys. They do give nickel, and can see your pins
good thing htat its there, I left my prawn there
i honestly liked the players original actor
the one where you talked to sam in stuff
sopunded sassy and fitting
build a docking module and bring the prawn home
Guys how do i tell the three shadow leviathans to kindly go away
so the old story. Still playable on steam
I did, I detached the docking module for shadows and exited at purple vents not pilots base where I left it
put the perimeter defense in. Learn to use it
i did and it only works when they grab onto me
then i gotta defend it form the other 3
yes. it only works when they attack
thats the point
it shud work in the general vicinity
i cant get "The merchant" or my seatruck cause the spawn campin the exit to the crystal caves
the one by the purple vents
ima try one more time
help
it's tryna get me
im hidin under my seatruck
but srsly, perimeter defense
the whole point of gettin here is to get some more reasources
how i can only use it one time and then the other one does considerable damage
they're fighting in a pack
probably devs didn't like the misuse to kill levis
are you in the void? this isnt normal
im 608 meters below, in the crystal caves
there's only 2 shadows in the purple part, and 2 in the other part
The choice was to nerf it or to remove it. They choose the later, it was easier.
well they are all here
since im on switch i cant get rid of them
Well, I congratulate you on having good taste
and i cant use the grapple drill combo either :(
no amount of listening to Dont hold your breath can fix this
YES
I made it out
With my seatruck at 10 hp
im wondering, should I make a base in crystal caverns?
not a base but a place where you can ferry reasources to and from your base
I heard mini base, Ill add that to my list
I heard deathwish, good luck
I'm wondering, should I build a base on a lily pad or in purple vents and tree spires area?
i live in purple vents, next to delta station
So my opinion is biased
But i would think livin on a lily pad wud be cool
def go for the lily pad
the water filters also need water
they can go in moonpools right?
and also spicy salads are only slightly overpowered
boys. made it
no.
But you don't need reinforcements above water. Put windows everywhere
understood, I have some quartz
how many titanium ingots needed for 2 moonpools and 3 large rooms
Check pda
pin them
๐คฏ
Do you guys also rebuild your subnautica base cause' you know the layout of it?
why not?
Its only stay in loading
I wanted to start a world
But the game said wait for the loading to end
I waited for 4 days
Yes a new game
what platform or game are you even having the issue on?
You've also talked about it in #subnautica-chat and #subnautica-ps
check device free storage. Reboot the device. try one last time, but only wait 15 min
it hangs on ps5?
Yes its the same in ps5
171 thousand seconds on the first day
ya you broke it somehow
Don't do that. After less than 1h, stop it
it may wear out disks
in fact that might be the issue
Then there the problem of creating an account in subnautica
I think disk dead. But I can't know that for sure. And you said this was on 2 or 3 devices
Tried it in 7 consoles
...
What did i do
So the game actually works. Millions of people play it
I've no clue. I can't help
๐๐i want to cry
Do you have enough storage space?
By default the game stores the save in the steam folder or in your appdara folder (C drive), so if that drive is full that could prevent it from making a new save
If you're launching from epic or steam is installed there
it isn't steam. it's ps4 and ps5
I donโt know but if its a storage problem i have a huge storage place
Idk, I would make sure all your drives have some space left
your storage is damaged?
maybe too much in there, but I'm clueless with ps
I upgraded my storage last month
Anyways, might be better to go to #below-zero-ps . This chat is more for the pc version or general discussion
when did it stop working? do other games work?
You added storage right, you didn't replace the main drive? So if the ps stores saves on the main drive, and it's full, that could prevent it from making new save files. Idk I'm just going from experience on pc
None of them are working I wanted to start a new game but it wonโt let me in look how long I waited
Are you even reading what I'm saying?
Yes yes Iโm reading them all
so the probrem is in the console it self
So, the main drive, does it have space free?
Not the added one
It dose have
It have like 600 gigabytes
Its funny because I tried emailing them but none of them replied to me
assuming you found this. Sync issue/delete all saves they say
https://forums.unknownworlds.com/discussion/152041/subnautica-wont-go-past-title-screen-stuck-on-loading
So I bought this game about 3 months ago. It worked fine and crashed once and from there, it hasn't worked since.
do it. It won't take long to do
with a base with bio and plants forever
with that little energy?
Lol it looked like the sea truck was in space
No that wat taken at the edge of the void
Sure?
Can leviathans clip through walls?
Bruhhhhhh
Like the first game
I just got launched into the air
Yeah they can
Is it true that they pretty much changed the entire story from ea?
I think so
most of it. Some bits testers liked were kept. Alan, Maida
the realy early acess is totaly diferent
||you got robin working at zero and sam in space||
On steam, you can still play this. with beta code belowzeroearlyaccess
Pick EA8 for the most complete old story
Why?
long story, the main writer quit. I don't know why
possibly covid affected it
It definitely made everything difficult in 2020
What was the old story like? I have the game via Xbox so I can't play it
you wake up in outpost zero. A meteor storm is about to break the base. Sam works in an orbiting station
she helps you survive and try to get off the surface
You do find Alan also. Stuff gets weird
you can of couse find playthru's, from summer 2020
Like they had 2 ideas and used them both
But after the writer quit they went back and only kept going with 1 idea
Was the old story worse or better than the new one in your opinion?
Oh?
oh and Alan threatens us before transfer
hence the voice lines in that song
that's from there
"I will destroy you"
I hope Alan will be nicer in this story
I've just found a body part, he seemed disturbed
spoiler ||he is||
Wait, he is as in he is nicer?
yes
i think he will be the vilan in subnautica 3
I think I will be. Rawr
||btw, the place with the alien bones, is it a cemetery ? Alan mentioned it being a place to think about things and sounded kinda sad||
not sure what it's for
How many people do yโall think get stranded on alterra inhabited planets bro?
Robin said she understood
Subnautica 70 Alan visits his mom
Btw do you guys also dislike the fact that the main character now talks?
And that the PDA is now Indian?
The old robotic voice that didn't have an accent was better
it doesnt have to be on a planet from a altera
you are sticking to a popular opinion there
She was literally british she had an accent ๐ญ
Explain

Anyways I love kimberly brooks and I think the pda sounds nice
alterra logo is... a worm nose
it could be on a precursor planet
Oh, maybe it's because British sounds more normal to me, but the Indian accent or whatever it is is way to noticeable
I think the old pda is iconic but I like the new pda too
I don't have anything against the voice actor of robin, it's just that the mute character from the first game made it more peaceful and ominous
"new blueprint synthesized " ๐คฎ
I like that below zero has more dialogue. The dialogue in a game can really make or break the game for me
the og had a prety cluster story
like The Freeman
And everything being British was more fun too ๐
Anyone know why i cant get out of this menu in subnautica below zero. I have vortex and qmodmanager, also I have the microsoft store one
I'm happy they at least kept the prawn suit and habitat voice
Didn't meatie tell you that you need to remove the mods?
Restart the game?
In the play tester version of bz, everyone was british ๐ญ๐ญ
Kinda sad the seatruck doesn't have a voice though, every vehicle has except that one
its becuz robin stole the habitat builder from altera put her pda is from zenoworks
Yeah I know, but zenoworks got aquired by altera, so the Pda running their software wouldn't be that much of a stretch
its not
?
robin is not using an altera pda
No but zenoworks falls under altera
Since they were bought
but she didnt get the new altera pda's
So it wouldn't be that much of a stretch that altera made everyone run their software while still keeping the brand name of the PDA zenworks
she left before
I don't think she left before
a pda entry says something about then geting new altera pda's
Oh, there was a character with my name in the old story lol
Oh did it? Can't remember
same
You're name is also Maxim?
Jefov / Jeff
my name is my name
nononame?
ye
cadmium?
no
I read somewhere that the root pustule could be hit with a knife to get seeds or spores, has anyone gotten this to work? Or read about it somewhere?
no it doesn't work
I just looked up the article, it was from 2 years ago, smh
how much nickel is needed for the ||organs||
It's been so long I don't remember
I'm afraid I have Alterra tech embedded in my brain, I'm playing a farming game and I keep saying 'I wonder how much power the bioreactor would get from this pineapple'
probably 200
lol, who knows
are these...squidshark eggs?
from deep lilypad area?
yeah
Yep, sure looks that way
If you hatch either of them do NOT release it near your base
uh, why?
U can kill it so it doesn't matter
I mean, i don't plan to release them
big trouble, for you
istg where is all the nickel?!?!
Check the area below omega lab
because I'm a helpful dude
I haven't been there yet, welp, water trip(I still can't find the pilots base and I left my prawn there help)
not much
What are you looking for?
Probably not
also pineapple are too good to destroy
two things, nickel, and my prawn that I left at the entrance to crystal caverns pilots base
youre better off using penglins
For the nickel, you can find some in ||Lilypad caves|| and your prawn has a beacon, just follow it
Agreed, my aquarium module scoops up many, and you can't eat em
not the best for caves though, and I have almost all the nickel I will probably need, just need to know how much for ||organs||
theres a ghost nickel
Game already tells you also scanner rooms + resource detected do it also
Yep, and the monkies can help too
oh yeah, let me get gifts
yeah, especially if its near
you don't even need nickel
hello peoples
Whassup
man, this stupid bug again...anyone get the glitch where the sound gets stuck and loops repeatedly until it fixes itself?
it's happened a lot more in BZ than in the original, just now I got it right in the title screen as I clicked play on my one save
very annoying
What system?
Steam
Ah ... never happened to my Switch version
it happened in SN1 a couple times, funny how it only started happening as I was recording me beating my hardcore save...
if it has I haven't noticed it
one great thing bz fixed is the terrain renderization
yeah
terrain in general can still be buggy sometimes though
a while ago my Prawn went right through the floor of the Deep Twisty Bridges, but I suppose that was after a problem happened where my world refused to save
shadow, what you think?
Tree Spires
100%
easily my favourite biome in the game, I plan to build my main base there in my current save
I had an outpost in the tunnel between the Dummy's base and her thermal plant farm, it was quite peaceful, and plenty of minerals to grab
They are annoying
my repair tool is at 9% cause of these buggers
no creature has ever physically damaged one of my bases until now and it is a little infuriating ๐
Fun fact - the repair tool never goes below 100% in the Switch version
Yeah, it'll probably be patched out tho
something I've found while building this bunker
I really wish there was a way to turn off lights without disabling power
That's a lie
?
Well that was random
another glitch that I get a lot, is base colour getting messed up
particularly when I make it black
do you get that problem in Switch or no?
Actually, I've not tried changing the base color
I'm used to my bases and vehicles being default colors, if I start changing them, it would only be a distraction for me
The only color I change is the beacons and signal markers, I make them green so I can see them ... getting old sux
my friend and I came up with a term we like to call "fyping", which manages to mean "fast typing" while also somehow simultaneously showing how you could misspell typing when doing so too fast ๐
I try to avoid that, but it's a cool word play
In the control room you can turn off sections of the base, it turns off light but idk if it also turns off oxygen
If I were to try typing on a phone my messages would look alot worse
oxygen stays but you can't power things like fabricators which is annoying
so in order to have dark rooms you also have to sacrifice any powered things in that room
which is why I really wish you could turn only the lights off
Think imma build two, a pretty big one on lily pad and a smaller one at spires
sounds good
I just love the vibe of the Tree Spires, probably mostly due to the fact that it was the one biome in the game that I hadn't heard of or gotten spoiled (even in a minor way) before I played the game so it was finally something new and exciting, that coupled with seeing the full grand scale of the adult Ventgarden for the first time complete with the stunning music that plays, just gave me such a first experience and it's been my favourite biome ever since
I just hate a couple shrimp dudes hang out there
I drive my seatruck into them if theyโre at a appropriate health
And if I can see them
My Seatruck just loves the cryptosuchus, I'm bashing them constantly
the Chelicerates, although annoying at times look so freaking ominous swimming their circles around the Ventgarden, (especially when below them) and the opening portion of the Cathedral soundtrack (the one that plays in the Tree Spires) fits perfectly with the Chelicerates patrolling I realized
It also plays in the passage I mentioned ... Have you been there?
Which direction was it from pilots?
It's between her base and her themal plant farm
ah that area
yeah I used to drive my Seatruck through there going to and from the Crystal Caves
It's not a large passage, but has enough minerals to warrant at least one expedition
hmm, another strange visual glitch I just discovered (look at the window of the control room)
lol everything just went wrong at the end of that clip xD
also, how in the heck did I just upload a 13 MB file in less than a second, it was like I was sending an image 
Team Freedom ftw!
man I love it when my game suddenly drops to 10 fps for no reason
Guessing it's an asset (?) not loading due to you being too far away in order to reduce lag
perhaps, although I must say if that's the case it's a bit strange for it to be doing that when I'm only that far away from it
The battery thing is just you
Are you perhaps going into another biome? That could be it too
I wasn't the one who said that...
check your message history buddy
I said it, and it's no lie, I haven't charged a battery from my repair tool yet, it always says 100%
Maybe it's just me, and I'm lucky
nope, I'm entirely in the Deep Twisty Bridges the whole time, confirmed by the F1 menu
man idk what is wrong with my game tonight
I'm getting constant periods where my fps will drop to probably around 10-15 or something bad like that for sometimes over a minute, then it will be fine again
it's making it very hard to enjoy myself
I haven't even done anything in this save that would cause it to lag like that, I only have a couple of small bases so far
Do you happen to have any other apps running?
Firefox, Brave browser, Discord and file explorer (and Steam of course)
but that's pretty normal, I have those up all the time and closing them never seems to improve the performance of any of my games when they get like this
it's quite frustrating
You may need to shut down the browsers, they may be using some system resources
I'll try that although I'm not sure if it will help
If not, you can always start em back up
my best guess is that it's just my computer
this thing with games has been happening on and off for quite a while now
Minecraft seems to be one of the few that never suffers from FPS drops, only server-side lag and the occasional few-second lag spikes when a lot of stuff is loading in
When you log out, you might get it to do a defrag, that may help
laughs in opera GX
defrag?
Opera, isn't that the browser the Wii used?
Yes, defragment the files on the HDD, this may help reduce lagging
idk, but GX has limiters for pretty much everything, its very nice sometimes
how do you do that? not to sound dumb lol I've just never heard of this before
I will jump on anything that might reduce lag problems
Are you using a windows computer?
I have now offically spent more time in my second save compared to the one I already beat(at least 3 hours had to be AFK though)
Then you can get it to run a defrag, I think it's from the 'my PC' folder, right click on the hard drive to open the menu
It's been a while, so I'm not sure what comes next, lol
But you're looking for 'defrag'
@modest pagoda ik wut u mean by they are built like assassins lol (regardng wut u said in #memes-and-media
oh wait u alr saw that 
what menu exactly am I looking for here?
I just went "open" and there was a bunch of files, nothing that said defrag anywhere
wdym
^
do u have smart defrag installed?
how long do path finder tools stay?
I have no clue, I didn't even know what defrag was until just a few minutes ago
It should be under 'properties'
I just realized, its very easy to find pilots base when you know where and what to look for
alright I do see an "optimize" button under "optimize and defragment drive", but before I do it I'd just like to know what exactly it does, so I don't end up accidentally deleting something somehow
Over time, files are saved, loaded, etc. and the pieces don't always fit in the open space, and are divided up ... over time, the files get divided into more bits and it takes progressively longer to access them ... defragment 'reshuffles' the files so each one is in one big piece again, reducing access time
It takes a long time tho, it would be best to start it when you're going to bed, hopefully will be done the next morning
I'm reading some articles on it right now
it says you shouldn't do it if you have a SSD, which I think my laptop might
I have to see but I'm pretty sure it does
I think that's what your screenshot had on it ... Yes, more reading about it is good, you may want the 'optimize' instead
we might want to move to #off-topic
I think I've told you all I remember already, lol
well I'll keep reading, man I really wish there was just an easy solution to these lag problems
they've just been getting worse, sometimes I think the only way to fix them is just a new and better PC with a proper graphics card
Play on the Switch, you'll get used to lag, lol
can you see FPS on Switch?
that's pretty standard for some of mine
which is probably why even 60 seems so nice and smooth ๐ even though I know people who will complain about anything less than 100 being used to their super high end PCs
which is kinda dumb as anything beyond 60 you really can't tell the difference
My vision is poor enough that 30 looks just fine, that may be why the Switch version works for me
Well it's getting late here, I must off to bed
I'd be happy with 30 if my game didn't constantly have periods where it drops to around half of that for several minutes on end
alright, goodnight ๐
You too
so uhhh, did anyone else actually buy below zero on the discord store back when discord said "hey wouldn't it be cool if we sold games?"
or was that just me
discord sold below zero?
yep
huh where'd the library button go
oh thats right my old account got hacked and i dont have the stuff my old acc did lmaoo
I did connect the test override module.
Hey is there anything update on bz 2.0
Thereโs a chance for you to get no kyanite in the crystal caverns on switch
Not a single piece
Do someone know where i find all the ship wrecks?
Your susposed to explore
There's a PDA on a crate next to the radio tower that gives a clue
Anyone know how to unpin all of Alan body parts?
by clicking their recipe in blueprints
Also beat the game. All that's left is building bases i suppose. Or on to a new game.
Oof...
I honestly didn't have too many issues with them until I tried to make a base down there. There are plenty of open spots which would be perfect for a base, but there's a spike trap in every single one
does nitrox multiplayer mod work for subnautica below zero?
No. And the Nitrox team said they will not be working on a multiplayer mod for BZ since they have their hands full with the original Nitrox mod.
||how many processing unit fragments are in the mercury wreck close to the delta island?||
Stern = 2
Bow = 4
Thruster = 1
You're likely referring to the Stern since it's closest to the Delta Island.
do fish breed in alien containment and aquarium>
Only alien containment
Np
||how did the mercury get shot down if I disabled the precurser canon? The description of the attack sounded a lot like the beam that would have come of it. If it's integral to the plot, please don't spoil it ๐||
the mercury was before Aurora. It really looks 30+ years old
It's not important, but it was shot at twice. interesting
you disable the crater gun not the sector zero gun
There's some lore in the pda's
oh are there more guns?
another ship was the Degasi. Maybe 10 years before Aurora
interesting
is it in below zero too?
I have seen no evidence of more guns, but it does make sense to have that
no. Degasi is SN. You never find the ship, but the crew tracks
sn?
SN1, Subnautica
and underwater
There is no sector 0 gun
In SN1, you get the impression lots of ships got shot down. Wrecks scattered all over
they are all the pieces of the aurora
I'm not sure. Maybe. Also maybe Degasi
there no degasi cuz margarita scraped it
I doubt they would of gotten ALL of the wreckage seeing as the gun would of torn a massive whole thru it
there wasnt much left
I think those are from the aurora though
I just wish the aurora was bigger on the inside like the mercury
with the mercury it really felt like a spaceship, the aurora didn't have that big of an interior for its ship size
@quick terrace
I poke at you with my builder tool until you are poked
he said you can discuss things from subnautica here
to a certain extent yes
You can discuss things that are in both games, or compare things from both games
I explained why in the other chat
We drifted there from a BZ topic
yeh but idk what they would put it in there most of the aurora should just be storage space it would be kinda broken to get a bunch of material for free
The cannon blasted a huge hole trough the aurora, making a lot of orbital debris, it wouldn't be that much of a stretch to say that some made it down there and that during the descent of the aurora, in which it exploded, even more scrap came lose and got launched everywhere
yeh all the scrap everywhere is what fell from the blast
how do I turn on grid based building?
not a feature, but there is a game mod
oh I thought it was added in bz
Some pda thing said that the gun can warp energy across the planet, so it only needs one
I miss the days when I could just go outside and have table coral right in front of me lol
I suggest getting 10 at a time
also the fito plants are prety hard to find
but you can farm then at least
Why the frick am I freezing on this island if it's 45 degrees?
lmao, I should be melting
heat vent maybe?
standing in a pool? Anyway, the temp meter seems broken above water
nope
and the rest of the island is 12 degrees, if you are freezing at that temp, something is wrong with ya
idk how it is even snowing at that temp
idk how a temperature sensor can be calibrated for anything?
it just senses temperature ๐
because alterra?
temp meters are rare in games. Probably an interesting implementation
||the woman said to meat me 1km east of the antenna, I don't see any habitats anywhere on the icebergs?||
from the dock beacon, it's 1100m east, and a tiny bit south. If you find the satellite, go south-east to the next island
the island has boxes, lights, skeletons and a tunnel
I died because of that satellite
how?
cause of the alien radiation
I didn't have any radiation lol?
I wasn't serious
cold, I didn't have any heat things and couldn't find thermal lillies
I almost died to the cold too lol
I think ive died 3 times in BZ, zero in SN
its very easy to stray too far from your seatruck and then get to 30 oxygen and have to swim 250m to survive
i dont need to worry bout that, im always self consious about food n water
Or play in freedom mode
I just drove my seatruck into a shrimp and he got scared
took him like a minute to grab me
why when I swing my knife I always get creepvine samples even if I'm not remotly near creepvine???????????
derrrr. That's odd
I have noticed, you can harvest creepvine samples from inside the parked Seatruck
hmmmmmm
mans wanted to sunbathe
why did the phi base collapse?
avalanche/meteors
This used to be part of the main story, but now it's just, er, abandoned. A side track
Does anyone know when subnautica 3 is coming out
no
is the worm on the island with the phi base?
no, its the one across the bridge
no worms south of the bridge
So I've not played the game long but I've got to a point where:
- I have most of the talls needed early game.
- Running out of room in my pod
- I've go tthe habitat builder
Should I start to build my own base?
I have also just got the vehicle bay thing.
What vehicles can you get early game that are decent
seatruck is the only one really, and yes, make a base, I think scans are at delta island and pilots base
I went to the bit where it said 'Pilot last seen here' but found nothing. Should I look a bit closer?
to find the pilot, I recommend truck + one depth upgrade
yeah, its in the cave system below
if youre lucky you can go with only seatruck, but I would advise against it
It's deep. Depth of target is ||360m||
okay, so get a seatruck and get more depth
and where would you recommend I build my base?
twisty bridges
So alan mentioned some bridge like structures and that I would find something there, did he mean the deep twisty bridges?
alr thank u
he does mean twisty yes
I don't remember him mentioning them, or why
So somewhere like this
if you can find where the valley kinda thing is, I suggest building it on the edge of that
anything I should look out for in deep twisty?
So about here
yeah
alright cheers
dimes, gel sacks, lithium, one artifact, two truck modules
I mean fauna
can you check how many pieces of something you have
squidsharks
grabby plant, squidshark
yes, recipe list in pda
grabby guy is probably fauna
vroom
cutting ice walls and containers and sooty doors in the wrecks
alr thx
No one likes them, so I refuse to learn their name
spiky trap I think
Weird. your message is censored somehow
huh, thats weird
very
To get oxygen in the hut, you need a power source, yes?
and the solar pannels need to be above the water?
yes, and no. Note you can have more than one panel. Put them on the roof, or nearby on the ground
Other power sources available later
alright cheers
Biopower available now, probably. In a multipurpose room
and I need a bioreactor for that?
bioreactor is biopower, yes. You don't need it, but it equals 3-4 panels
alright thank you
And will work deeper. PAnels reduce power at depth
not really, but there are some power hogs: the water filter machine, the scanner room
And battery charging, when you use them
alright, thansks
Same for everything: they draw power when in use only
okay! thanks for all your help
Panels don't do much at night, but each has a 75 battery in it
||I found the obilisk in the deep bridges that alan told me to find, but he didn't say anything?||
how rude of him
is it normal?
yeah I got blueprints
Disco vent garden
lol
ye
damn its powerfull
I should mention, building on lilypads is hard
why
because you have to build on the small pads first, then expand, and brute sharks can go onto lily pads
kill them, and they will despawn soon
kill em
or, push into the water with a prawn
ah, I didn't know that bodies would despawn
wheres the sleeper module?
purple vents crevices
ah, fun
Is there anything super rare in this game ?
theres two golden trivalves
wheres do you find gold again?
is it in the dark biome with all those coral things that go down to 200m
or creepvine caves?
Just fined yellow rocks
kelp forest caves iirc
They are everywhere just fined yellow looking rocks
try purple vent caves if you can
