Hey btw you should probably make lots of stuff in your cyclops because that will probably be your best base

[@Cehesebrugre]

The reaper that you kill should be the one by your base too just to make things easier

[@karmakaughtthekat]

​@@Cehesebrugre I'm pretty sure he knows that, which is why he's not allowing himself to do that. It makes it harder when you can't build a lot in your Cyclops and can't use it as a secondary base

I'm sure someone must have said it, but use the "Air Bladder" people. DON'T underestimate it. It is one of the best items in the early game. Make use of it. It's both faster than the seaglide, and also a refillable emergency oxygen supply. It's also better than just carrying around bladder fish.

[@spookie4481]

[@strawberryvibes1237]

this! I've seen several gameplays and whenever I see them struggling to get to the surface on time I think "there's an air bladder for exactly that actually...". saved me so many times!

I just thought of an amazing work around for having no oxygen tank. Build a whole bunch of external growbeds with brain corals everywhere.

might be against the "only one base" rule. that depends what you'd count an external growbed as though.

[@redxbat9098]

Here is my idea to make subnautica harder with some of your rules too but with less of the ones that would at most be a nuisance 1. No oxygen tank 2. No rebreather 3. No seamoth 4. No seaglide 5. No lockers at all 6. No battery recharge stations 7. No ion battery's 8. No eating or drinking unless your food and water bar are at 25 or under 9. No using the architect portals 10. Fully explore and look at every part of subnautica map that has anything significant

[@redxbat9098]

I hope that you might add some of these rules and make a run in the future that is way harder lol

[@boi2192]

No silent running

[@greasey8695]

Does a base actually need multipurpose rooms for the purpose of finishing a story? If our only source of power is external solar panels, then why not just keep bases tubular? I know he said one of the rules is to hatch everything, but collecting the eggs in the first place is the challenge, not the arbitrary waiting for the hatch.

It's honestly not that bad, go straight to the island get growbeds and have marble melons. Build a cyclops plot a growbed inside and have infinite food on the go to replenish food and water to max at any point in time without needing water bottles, I'd say vegetarian is the easiest way to play in the game honestly

[@TheVindicar]

When it got to "no sotrage units" it got ridiculous. Just have a rule "not allowed to launch the game", it'd be about the same.

[@SondreGrneng]

Rule 1-8 bro, that's just how I play the game. Rule 9 and 10, okay, now we are taling. Rule 11 and 12, lolno. Rule 13-17 yeah whatever. Rule 18, I'm down with this. Rule19, I still don't understand why anyone would bother killing anything but prey fish. Literally spending time and effort achieving nothing. Rule 20. I'm down with that. Verdict. Rule 9-12 are challenge rules, every other rule appear to only exist as minor inconveniences for people that have played the game several times over.

[@Just_a_Piano_]

Well when a crash fish comes up, killing that before it explodes is a great idea, killing the ghost leviathan in the Lost River makes looting MUCH easier, killing reaper makes searching crash zone easier, killing crabsquids is nice, killing lava leeches is also good if you like having power, bleeders are also a good idea to kill, warpers (if you consider it killing) knifing then is a good idea so they don't teleport you outside your vehicle every 3 seconds. You're pretty much achieving a LOT from killing other things from prey fish, like just about every predator in the game

[@kooshneer4563]

[@RoozleDoozle-9210]

If you have the jetpack upgrade for the prawn suit, I like it a lot more then

[@GamingFastM]

So for me it would be: #2 -> Base has to be in Crash Zone #9 -> No oxygen tank #10 -> No rebreather #12 -> No storage units #13 -> No MK3 modules #14 -> No repairing the Aurora I normally do or don't do the rest of the rules anyways in a normal playthrough

[@The_Light__]

2:39 IT JUST KEEPS GOING BRO WHAT 😭🙏💀☠️

[@sirmemes1225]

having your base in the crash zone actually ruins the purpose of the no beacons rule. The aurora is easy to spot and it makes the base too easy to find. I'd personally suggest building the base in either the jellyshroom caves or the crag field. Jellyshroom cave entrances are hard to find especially without beacons, and the crag field is vast and pretty barren, but with enough terrain to make it hard to spot your base through it.

[@aYtto]

I dont know what the item is called, but if you activate it, you get shot up to the Surface. You can also "recharge" it with oxigen, and use the oxigen if you dont want to swim up

[@boi2192]

I did not just hear "no stasis rifle, repulsion cannon or defensive modules" as a challenge rule. I cant remember a single time i actually used any of these, apart from when i was bullying reefbacks with the seamoth perimeter defense. An ACTUAL challange, would be to instead ban the silence mode on the cyclops.

If you make another Below Zero video (maybe Prawn Suit only), I’d like to see if you can discover the trick to building a base inside of the vent garden. It seems impossible but there’s a little secret you can do to make it work. By far the most atmospheric base location in BZ!
