And the spy version is as nifty as it is adorable, enabling players (while in Exploration mode) to work remotely without bothering wildlife. The icy corners of ocean planet 4546B are populated by alien fauna, so what we're actually dealing with here is a Pengling. Well, technically, "penguin" isn't quite accurate.
#Subnautica below zero pengling update
Subnautica: Below Zero is the second game in the series and takes place in the polar region of Planet 4546B.Developer Unknown Worlds is at it again, bolstering its standalone Subnautica expansion, Below Zero, with a brand-new update - introducing new biomes, creatures, modules, and an adorable robot penguin for undercover espionage. You play the role of Robin who travels down to the planet to investigate the death of her sister. Much of the gameplay is the same as Subnautica but resources are a little easier to find and you generally need less of them. You’ll not only need to worry about food and oxygen but about body temperature as well. You can generally stay warm enough in the water but once you’re on the ice your body temperature will drop quickly.

While exploring the area you’ll come across around 3 dozen varieties of marine fauna. Some of the larger species are aggressive while the smaller fish you’ll need to hunt for food. If you want to find out where you are at any time press F1. Your location, along with lots of other information, will be listed. The X,Y,Z coordinates tell you your current location. X is your east-west location, Y is your depth and Z is your north-south location. Your PDA has lots of information and occasionally you’ll get updates and notifications. The initial cutscene sees Robin leaving a spaceship and flying down to planet 4546B to investigate the death of her sister. Robin has a rough landing after trying to avoid a meteor. Once you get control you’ll be stuck out on the ice and will quickly freeze if you can’t find the water soon. Quickly grab as many as the supplies littered about the place as you can. There are 3 Filtered Water Bottles, 3 Nutrient Blocks and 9 Flares. The Drop Pod is underwater and not too far away but you’ll need to make your way along the path to the water. If you get too cold stand next to the Thermal Lilles to warm up. Once you find the water jump in and make your way to the Drop Pod. Catch any fish you can along the way and cook them in the Fabricator. They’ll provide you with a delicious meal and a bit of water. Once you enter the Drop Pod listen to the communications from your sister Sam and Lilian Bench. When you’re out swimming in the Shallow Twisty Bridges, the area around the Drop Pod, look out for Bladderfish.

Just like the first game they can be used in the Fabricator and turned into Filtered Water. Use Salt and any kind of fish to make Cured Fish, a tasty snack which won’t go off over time. Luckily resources are easier to find in Below Zero, and you’ll need to use far fewer of them to complete the game. You’ll be able to find Limestone Outcroppings around the Drop Pod which can be broken for Titanium and Copper. These can be used to make Copper Wiring and other basic materials. You’ll need to craft a Survival Knife to gather some materials and to fend off attacks from aggressive creatures. You’ll need Silicone Rubber which can be made from a Creepvine Seed Cluster and TitaniumĪ Scanner is also essential but it needs a Battery. In Below Zero batteries can be crafted by using two of the Ribbon Plants. They can be found in shallow areas on the sea floor.Ī Seaglide will help you travel around much quicker and should be your first priority after finding enough food and water.

Luckily the Seaglide Fragments can be found on the sea floor within about 150 meters from the Drop Pod. After scanning three fragments the blueprint will be added to your PDA.

It can be crafted with a Battery, Lubricant, Copper Wire and Titanium Ore. Delta BaseĪfter the first couple of days you’ll be given the location to Delta Island. It’s the location of the Delta Station and the Communications Tower. X is east-west, Y is depth and Z is north-south.Ĭlimb up onto the island and make your way up to the tower. You’ll need to go through the caves to get to it. Make sure to stop by the Thermal Lilies or hot springs to warm up along the way. When you’re close to the top a cut-scene will trigger with Marguerit Maida.
