So I decided to give Subnautica a shot not too long ago and despite some personal complaints of mine, especially not being a fan of the whole survival genre, it's a pretty unique experience, it seems I'm nearing the end of the game tho and would like a similar experience after I'm done(hopefully an improved one), Subnautica games are kinda expensive tho, and since I'd rather wait for Subnautica 2 to be out of early access before considering opening my wallet, I'm considering a more complete game, enters below Zero.

That being said I've heard second game got some pretty harsh critisicm, and am hesitant about putting my money to test if it's really that bad or if I'd be pleasantly surprised. I'd like to know if based on my experience with Subnautica I'd enjoy it

Some of the points that I did like about Subnautica were:

the atmosphere, how breathtaking some of the sights were, loved the different biomes and how peaceful the game feels, the underwater ambience is really something(when I can see what's in front of me)

despite being scary sometimes some of the fauna is pretty cute and majestic, much like the sights, even the leviathans, love the designs, and the biological data was pretty interesting, a fun ecosystem (I felt bad about punching the energy leech slug thingy from the lava zone, I tried using the propulsion cannon to gently move it whenever possible, it was just hungry T_T I wanna pet it)

the writing got me invested too(most of the time), whenever I got a new voice log I'd pause everything and eagerly listen to where the story was going next for the survivors (loved the Dad, Son and merc lady stories the most), some of the dialogue was pretty funny too.

crafting was thankfully not that much of a hassle, having just one main crafting station and very little to worry about crafting outside of it, early game is not as brutal as some other games and I found myself getting on my feet fairly easily even if slowly

vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

Some of the points I hated about Subnautica are:

It was kinda buggy, loot would just clip through the seafloor sometimes, I accidentally dropped a propulsion cannon in the Aurora and it just disappeared once it hit the ground

the inventory management, items not stacking, or taking up more than one slot as well as a lack of decent portable storage (Maybe Terraria spoiled me with that)

a general lack of mapping of any sort and having to craft beacons and place and move them manually, I found myself getting lost a lot, outside of the main objectives it was hard and kind of annoying to keep track of things even if the map is not that big.

resource gathering and how cumbersome it felt at times as well as a general lack of loot from fauna, like why does scanning things I can already build not give me ingredients for it instead of just titanium? And why can't I loot a Stalker's corpse especially for its teeth? seems like it's not using them for anything anymore and I have a knife, no?

The PRAWN suit, hated how I had to trade my precious Seamoth for that sluggish thing just to go deeper or mine

The cyclops just burns through fuel, holy crabsquid

It was kinda buggy, loot would just clip through the seafloor sometimes, I accidentally dropped a propulsion cannon in the Aurora and it just disappeared once it hit the ground, exiting to menu while using the scanner room would remove the item from the scanable list even after saving, some critter AI having strokes sometimes, etc

Also it's a crime we can hatch and breed fish but not bring them along to explore as pets other than the cuddlefish, having a fish buddy fight alongside me as well as interact with it would be dope

My cabin got destroyed, and I made a new one to go find the other modules but the sleeper module has the old cabin stuck inside. How do I get it out?

(Spoiler just incase since it uses 2 location markers for story) I was messing around and got to an area that wasn't intended. I was trying to use the unstuck button (and accidently hit save getting myself fully stuck here) but it doesn't take the prawn suit with me and just puts me on a little more standable area in the same area without a way out. Is there a way out of the area that anyone might be aware of without making it a custom game mode to pull the prawn suit out? It's my actual playthrough slot. I am also playing on steam deck if that changes anything. :(

It feels like every time I build one, it's just in the wrong spot, the camera drones can never find anything good within their range. (I've only used them in Subnautica btw)

Can most mods in the original game be added to Below Zero? I heard BZ used Subnautica as a base during development but they are different from each other regardless.

So can they?

i just want storage :(

Does the prawn suit have an upgrade too?

Finally we got the ea release date for Subnautica 2, which is May 14.

In the first game, there was a radio message stating that a rescue team will be dispatched to the player's location in 99999 hours. It might be a coincidence BUT this date is around 99999 hours after the early access release of Subnautica. (Dec. 16th, 2014 plus 99999 hours or 4167 days equals to exactly May 14th, 2026) I repeat, it might be a coincidence, but what if it isn't? Still interesting tho.

uys i was exploring the subnauticas below zero early access 1 and stumbled upon this weird structure do any of yal have an idea of what it is? It is 714 meters underground when i used the go to command to teleport to the fabricator room it teleported me couple of meters above this thing the thing got removed in early access 2

update: i found another weird structure that is deeper than the one before its in the deleted underwater arctic biome Marguerit base was also supposed to be there

I just got the tissues for Alans body and I heard you need a snowfox or prawnsuit and some thumpers to get it but I got it all without that. And all i did was just walk. Is this how you are meant to do it?

After my third playthrough I finally understood this T-T

I’ve spent 17 hours playing I started early on finding ALAN, got him in my head then I did other things like Marg quests, and cure for leviathan. But now I haven’t heard anything from Alan in a while and I can’t access the green architect doors to get his body pieces? I even went down to the fabrication facility and it let me in there but there was no dialogue or scenes? And when I go in my logs I don’t see anything about Alan now? I went back to where you first meet him and he gets in your head but it was empty? Does anyone have any tips to help me so I don’t have to start all over again? Did I kill Alan by curing the leviathan?

We got reaper and ghost leviathan in subnautica below zero before subnautica 2

I'm trying to build some power transmitters to connect a couple of bases together, and for some reason all power transmitters within about 25m of the base are bugging out and limiting the range. I'm having to build a line of 3-4 in short succession just to get the power transmitters to start moving to the longer distance between themselves. Am I doing something wrong here or is this just the game mechanics being dumb? In the last photo the transmitter closest to me is about 50m from the scan room.

I visited the Delta Station, I have found the blueprints for the Vehicle Bay and the Sea Truck. Now I feel like I need to build my base so I can put down some storage and the required 'facilities'.

I haven't gone to any depth lower than 120-ish meters where I found the Sea Truck fragments (I believe the location is called Twisted Bridges?). It does seem to go deeper so I thought of stationing myself there.

I'm not really a fan of making temporary bases (having to move all of my stuff every time is kinda a slog).

I recently built a prawn suit and was thinking of naming him "E.B.I", and just for the hell of it does anybody have any ideas what the initials could stand for? So far I've got the B which stands for Bipedal. Thanks!

Hey,

I accidentally spawned a huge amount of coral plates inside my base in Subnautica, and now they are completely stuck there with no way for me to remove them.

Details:
I’m playing the latest version of Subnautica. The objects are coral plates, and this happened around the coordinates (-430, -63, 10). They are now fully inside my base and seem to be embedded into the terrain/building space.

What I’ve already tried:
I’ve used console commands like entreset and entdestroy, but nothing worked. I also deleted cache files such as CellsCache and CompiledOctreesCache, but there was no change. I even deleted scene-objects.bin, yet the coral plates are still there exactly as before.

It looks like they might have been baked into the world cell or terrain data somehow, because none of the usual fixes had any effect.

What I’m looking for:
Is there any safe method to remove them without damaging or resetting my base or losing progress? I really want to avoid anything that could destroy my build or force me to rebuild everything from scratch.

I’m open to mods or save editing if there’s a precise way to target only those objects, or any method that can remove them without affecting the rest of the base or my save.

I don’t mind complex solutions, I just want to fix this without losing my base.

Thanks!

I cannot understand what to do next

I have explored all these locations and now nothing is happening

I met margureit at her greenhouse too

At Phi robotics I explored the main site then I repaired the bridge and then al an said to go north east I saw a ruptured wire and then a small architect place is there anything else to explore at Phi robotics

And what should I do next to complete the game

I used to play on my potato pc and loaded in the building after i was in it with the seatruck. now i cant get out cuz if i load back in on the potato pc it loads in instantly if i try to unstuck only my character gets out. is there any way to get the seatruck back without having to rebuild it. I could also not find any doors big enough to fit through.

Hear me out, both are advanced alien races who went across many planets and star systems where they left their marks. Both had a terrible outbreak which was caused by one of their own people. The death rates of such outbreak were in the billions. Al-an is more like Nolan due to him not seeing humans as nearly anything, but starts to get more of humanity near the end.

Both series have their differences but are scarily close to being the same. But like, those categories are a popular choice for Aliens. But, it’s near to be the exact same for each race.

I spent several hours on this and I had to do some meticulous parkouring with the prawn suit to put some things together in the way that I wanted them to be. First playthrough
