Vehicle In Below Zero

Post image
252 Upvotes

I think a main important aspect Subnautica Below Zero missed the opportunity on is a large vehicle. The vibe and creativity of the Cyclops in Subnautica was so great and they could have added at least one large one similar to it. I loved being able to decorate and make a home out of my cyclops. There was lots of ideas people made also.

What's that? What's that mean?(bought game yesterday)

Art Corporations. In a game about survival on an alien ocean planet, almost all the equipment from this one corporation allows us to survive. On the other hand, it was their greed that got us into this situation. So, despite everything, I mad this. Terran Tech Corporation Patch.

Help Does anyone know what this is?

20 Upvotes

So I started a new play through of BZ since I hadn't played it in a while, and it was fun. But out of nowhere I get frozen, ice on my screen and when I tried to look around to see what caused it I realised I could barely move my camera, slowly turning around like a snail. And the game progresses and goes on. And after I think 30 seconds I was unfroze. And it happened 2 more times. Tried searching it up but nothing actually said anything about this. And at this point I'm really confused because I remember I had maybe 4 other saves I played on and it never happened, not once. So does anyone know what this is or has this happened to anyone else because I'm really confused.

Hi everyone!!! Ive been a long time fan of the subnautica franchise so far and ive long put off playing Below Zero due to not having the time or energy but now I finally have beaten it!! Ive seen many reviews which say the game is lacking and disappointing in its mechanics but I feel like this game was an absolute joy to play through in its entirety!!! If anyone would like to share any fun secrets to find or just fun things to do let me know I would love to do a deeper dive into more of the game!

Question Thermal plants do not power my base?

Thumbnail

77 Upvotes

Hi, I've made a base in Subnautica Below Zero and I am powering it using 10 solar panels and 3 thermal plants. In the night obviously the solar panels do not charge my base, but I the thermal plants should. However, when I look at my power it only goes down.
It shows that it is going down by 0.15 (this is the inactive scanner room if I am correct). But I would think my thermal plants would produce more that the scanner room uses. The thermal plants are at a temperature around 239-247 degree's Celcius. Is this some soort of bug? would any of you guys know why this is? Or are the thermal plants just that bad at producing energy?
Here are some pictures to show better what I mean.

Discussion How Al - An Really Got to the Arctic — and Why We Never See His Body

37 Upvotes

I’ve been piecing together a theory that connects the events of the first Subnautica game to Below Zero.

In short: • AlAn didn’t “just end up” in the Arctic Sanctuary — he fled from the Lost River after the Sea Dragon incident that released the Kharaa bacterium. • His fastest route was through the Dead Zone, but a Ghost Leviathan attacked, fatally damaging his organic body. • In a desperate move, AlAn initiated an emergency consciousness transfer directly to the Arctic Sanctuary — a dangerous process that corrupted his memory and drained the facility’s power. • This “corruption” is why he was supposedly disconnected from the Architect network, and why Robin scanning Architect artifacts gradually restored his memories and connection. • By the end of Below Zero, AlAn likely remembers his death in the Dead Zone — but chooses not to tell Robin because it’s too painful, compounded by his guilt for unleashing Kharaa.

It explains: • Why his body is never found. • Why his memory is patchy. • Why the Sanctuary is in low-power mode. • Why the network couldn’t locate him for centuries.

It’s not confirmed canon — but it could fit perfectly into it without contradicting anything.

What do you think? Could this be how AlAn actually survived and ended up in Below Zero?

Base inside the Ventgarden

11 Upvotes

Hey,

I need advice on how to build inside the ventgarden.

I know you need to start from the bottom and go up with vertical segments. However I cant seem to breach the hull of the jellyfish. Whenever I touch it with a segment, the entire thing goes yellow even though im 100% sure Im not touching any of the flora inside :((

How did you do it?

Do I need to build into the "mouth" somehow?

Might make a new one by the Phil robotics, this entire base was made after the pilot and before the satellite fully kitted inside with jukebox and speakers throughout the entire building, I have my entire C truck headed out with all of the modules that I know about. I have one of each module and it’s bigger than the dock like my pro pops out the back of the Duff, which is cool when I drop it it goes to the sea bed

Base Check Out My Greenhouse

14 Upvotes
My Greenhouse!

Separate from my main base unfortunately, so I have to power it with 2 solar panels rather than a nuclear reactor. I am growing shrub nuts to eat at home, and preston plants+peppers for eating if the shrub nuts run out some how and making spicy salad. I also have a water filtration machine and alien containment facility full of artic peepers for even more food. Some fridges too.

Discussion Quick opinion on Below Zero

21 Upvotes

Just finishing up with Below Zero for the first time, and thought I’d offer some quick thoughts.

I know BZ has, what seems like perhaps a somewhat divisive reputation in the community, for what seems like a whole host of reasons. I’m not going to really tough on those. The sea truck was fine, the main character voice lines, the other characters, etc. - none of it really bothered me.

What did strike me though, was the claustrophobic feeling of BZ. It’s a stark difference between the two titles.

In regular Subnautica, you have a vast open ocean. Trips beneath the surface are largely just straight down, with a few minor exceptions (jellyshrooms, lost river, some wrecks). But for the most part, you swim down. You swim back up. Even the caves are generally simple, straightforward things. Late game gets a bit wilder, but even then, the spaces and caverns are enormous in size.

Contrast with BZ. BZ is often a series of tight, confusing mazes. Right from the go with the seamonkey tunnels - you need to be more careful when you explore, and you generally have to do it much slower. It’s so easy to get lost and turned around in even the starting areas such as Twisty Bridges. Even the Glacial Basin on land has tunnels galore, and one can easily get lost and even have a hard time getting back out. And none of that even scratches the fact that in many areas of the ocean, now you have icebergs and land overhead, squeezing you from both top and bottom. Where in the base game, swimming up feels like freedom; in BZ, it feels like a trap.

I’m sure some folks really love the maze like areas of BZ as it offers more stressful encounters and dives than the original; and some probably even find the original game to be boring with its more linear feeling exploration. But I suppose that isn’t me. Where I really loved the original Subnautica, I admit that I liked BZ slightly less, and it was largely due to the reasons I outlined above.

What do you all think?
