Scanner rooms are absolutely vital. The drones are also occasionally handy for scoping out areas that may be potentially dangerous.

I don’t think I have ever used the stasis rifle, it doesn’t really feel like it belongs in the game. Same with the propulsion cannon, that is only really required at one point.

Stasis rifle + knife is pretty boring compared to applying a massive drill to the face.

I have never bothered with even crafting it until then tbh the game isn't particularly dangerous. I made one before going there but forgot I had it. That octopus can't even really do much to you. The propulsion rifle has been cool a few times. I got my seamoth stuck on land once and used it to launch a rock at it and it went back into the water.

I use the repulsion rifle more than the stasis rifle. Both are for when wildlife or warpers are harassing me while im trying to do something in an area. No better feeling than punting a warper 200m into the distance until it teleports back

I can't be the only one who was kind of let down by how not actually menacing Warpers are? The build up is great, which makes the actual encounters kind of... meh.

Yeah the initial spook of getting ripped out of your seamoth hundreds of feet down in blood kelp with that loving music going is great.

The real fear is them causing some kind of glitch clipping your prawn suit off of the map.

Was that a glitch or earlier build? They don't even recognize the Cyclops as a threat.

# ? May 8, 2022 20:39 |

I don't know what is or is not a glitch but my last playthrough was a few months ago, and I distinctly remember piloting the cyclops very close to a warper and suddenly being outside in the water, and very annoyed by it. Could be a false memory of one of the other many times I was annoyed by warpers, I suppose, maybe I'll try to replicate it.

Extended my scanner room out from there so it could ping down into the lily pad caves. Squid sharks poking holes in my base from time to time was worth it for the view.

Aight humbly asking for more guidance. I'm pretty set up at this point although havent found all the cyclops parts. Have pretty much everything else you'd ever want though sans the rocket. I hear the tablets are essential to the story? I have the purple one and orange. I found some underground cavern (by a giant skeleton) that unlocked wit the orange one and it had some lore stuff. I also came across another that I think opened with purple or green...Can't find it again and I didn't have a tablet on me though. any tips on what I should be doing atm? Kind of feeling stagnated again.

Endless Trash posted:I only just beat Below Zero and I’m sure this has been discussed to death but I didn’t read it: how did Marguerite survive kharra? The enzyme was released into an aquatic planet, which has alien ducts that pipe water all around its entire surface. I just assumed that everything got cured as the enzyme proliferated with the freshly-restored population of Sea Emperor Leviathans, and since it heals "on contact", then Marguerite probably was cured alongside everything else as it propagated through 4546B's biosphere.

Hard to find, but theres like 6-7 purple tablets around the island. If you are having trouble finding the cyclops parts start by checking the mushroom area between ship and island Maybe find more around/below the big gun The scanner is your friend, dont think anything about just setting up a quick base with a scanner and then moving when you find what you need. And once you got your Cyclops/Prawn ready, start romping around the river.

veni veni veni posted:If you mean the acid river that’s where I found the big skeletons "Go deeper" is the advice in all situations, and in this case you'll want to look for a specific landmark to lead you deeper: a giant tree, growing in a cavern accessible from the lost river. I'm not sure from your previous post if you've found the other major landmark, the disease research facility, so if that doesn't sound like a place you have been then look for that first. It's right near where you are. Just bring lots of beacons.
