It makes sense lorewise though, since it says sea dragons come up to the surface and chase Reapers down to the lava zone where they get cooked and eaten. Having direct access from the crash zone would make a lot of sense
i remember hearing about subnautica and trying to remember what the game was and it’s absolutely crazy how the evolution of the game happened on so many levels… and how we’re still playing and talking about it
@@bober-mz2ys i have but isn’t it not out. cause my general take on it is i love the idea and the mod devs are insane for doing it but my only gripe is leaving it only to youtubers. i respect their decision but my fear is if this mod just randomly doesn’t get finished wel never get to play it. other than that yeah it’s a pretty insane mod, mad respect
god i remembered when i played it 2 days after it came out. the "hellhole" underneath the Aurora was just pure terror, as it was a connection point between the Reapers that spawned at the back and front, and then to the lava zone.
I remember seeing in one of the old old trailers for Subnautica, maybe when the Aurora explorable wreckage was added, an entrance at the back of the Aurora at one of the Engines (Bottom one on the left side maybe?) where you could go through a tunnel and that was how you got into the engine room.
I’m pretty sure it was the left part of the ship’s hull. You can still see it from the inside of the engine room at the bottom but it’s covered by debris and rock.
The first actual version of the lava zone was called *inactive lavart zone* and it was just a bunch of lava and rock pillars and a bunch of large circles on the ceiling
But in Subnautica the void looks the same. It just ends at about 2500m and then you can go under the map. Only in Below Zero the Void has an actual ground at 2400m.
I remember a few years back when my brother way playing and his prawn suit fell into that spire nest thing with the weirdly formed spike terrain. He couldn't get out and a ghost leviathan was vibing nearby. Funny times.
This video is so cool, I instantly clicked on it! Yeah I wish those ruins were still in the game in some way. It would be both very cursed, very fun and cool to see the base game map in bz. I am just starting to think of how weird the starting part would be where robin crashes? Like where should she crash her ship? I need to see this!
This reminds me of playing the early open beta builds. I’d always get lost in some barren expanse because there’s no map, and I had to find the Giant Oblivion Spikes(tm) to know I had to go the opposite direction to get home.
I've accidentally come across that unfinished Aurora section in the current version. I don't know why, but no amount of reloading or troubleshooting would fix it. The whole Aurora was unexplorable and I couldn't finish that save because no escape rocket.
I think in this version there is a huge hole leading to the future lava zone where sea dragons were supposed to catch and drag reapers into the lava zone
The ‘mini safe shallows’ you found by the Aurora is actually in the complete game now. It’s a sub-biome of the Crash Zone called Crash Zone Mesas. There’s six mesas in total, and a Reaper is often patrolling a sizable chunk between two of them, so I never visit unless I get turned around.
You should've tried going to the lava zone from the back of the Aurora because as far as i can remember there used to be a big drop from the Aurora to the lava zone but it might've been not in this Alpha version of the map idk.
@@JuniPinPan It was added in I think around March, when the aurora was first implemented. Around that time they started working on Lava Zone assets and they needed a testing ground, and they ended up also adding the hell hole.
I wanted to find something that makes people think of the alpha for the thumbnail, i think the sand worm does that The entity gallery doesn't work with this, sadly.
If she could get it so we can dig into the sand and build/form our own tunnels and islands, that would be awesome! I do miss the tunnel at the end of the Aurora, down passed the reaper which leads to the lost river
Honestly, this just reminds me of my first time playing below zero and the whole times i was like "omg LOOK!!! Its *insert cut content here* FULLY REALIZED" Especially with rock punchers.
Even having some fun in below zero cause my save file corrupted and restored a beta testers version from 2015 and I get to see all the stuff they took out during beta
10:35 I'm pretty sure that there is a very similar area in the current game. I don't think that it goes that close to the Aurora, but it has some coral material on the walls and brain corals and that. It might be between the kelp forest and the crash zone.
i first learnt subnautica a bit before the terrain tool was added, back when subnautica didnt have an ending, and the islands where the rescue ship crashes were just a fully rock texture mountain oh yeah i remember the small islands near the Aurora, they had a lot of chest's near or on them i didnt have the game yet so only videos the floating island wasnt known much about so i think i watched when it was beta
i would love it if you put the subnautica map in bellow zero, and maybe if you could leave a tutorial because i've been wanting to do that for forever.
huh? just read the description and it says "The next game in the Subnautica universe was announced in early 2022, expected to launch in early access about a year later". is this true??? have i missed out on some large subnautica news?? or is this referring to below zero (except for some reason the year is 2022 even though it was early 2019)?
Damn some of this stuff brings back memories, while I've never played the game myself, I have followed it's development back in the day ever since NS2HD released the first gameplay teaser on his channel back in October 2014.
If I were to give a recommendation, I would suggest making a VOD channel for your Twitch streams as some people (particularly me) may not have time to tune in live on Twitch.
Below Zero early access also had stuff that was cut like the methane caves, I never saw it because I kept away until it released to avoid spoilers. Would be cool to see that stuff too.
Anyone else remember when there was a massive pit nicknamed "The Hellhole" leading directly to the lava zone underneath the aurora wreck? good times.
literally a *hell hole*
I didn't play it at that time but I wish they kept it cause it would be cool to see sea dragons by the aurora after you get the cure
i kinda miss it, i made a base there then got lost
It makes sense lorewise though, since it says sea dragons come up to the surface and chase Reapers down to the lava zone where they get cooked and eaten. Having direct access from the crash zone would make a lot of sense
I hoped it would have been in this version but nope...
i remember hearing about subnautica and trying to remember what the game was and it’s absolutely crazy how the evolution of the game happened on so many levels… and how we’re still playing and talking about it
Have you seen "The Return of the ancients" Mod?, if not it would definitely be worth checking out
@@bober-mz2ys i have but isn’t it not out. cause my general take on it is i love the idea and the mod devs are insane for doing it but my only gripe is leaving it only to youtubers. i respect their decision but my fear is if this mod just randomly doesn’t get finished wel never get to play it. other than that yeah it’s a pretty insane mod, mad respect
It's a gem, just needs tripple A service, subnautica in 5 years is going to be something else.
@@Aci_yt Man you sure are a gigachad
You had my curiousity, but now you have my attenton (ps: normal map in below zero would be amazing!)
This was so cool, I've never looked at the alpha map :D
god i remembered when i played it 2 days after it came out. the "hellhole" underneath the Aurora was just pure terror, as it was a connection point between the Reapers that spawned at the back and front, and then to the lava zone.
there's actually about 11 reaper leviathans around the aurora zone
I remember seeing in one of the old old trailers for Subnautica, maybe when the Aurora explorable wreckage was added, an entrance at the back of the Aurora at one of the Engines (Bottom one on the left side maybe?) where you could go through a tunnel and that was how you got into the engine room.
Yea that was in the game before the interior was expanded
Before, it was just hallways and the engines or something
I’m pretty sure it was the left part of the ship’s hull. You can still see it from the inside of the engine room at the bottom but it’s covered by debris and rock.
@@Emars118 yea
The first actual version of the lava zone was called *inactive lavart zone* and it was just a bunch of lava and rock pillars and a bunch of large circles on the ceiling
I remember playing the very earliy versions of Subnautica, so this is quite nostalgic to see
I got a massive “wave” of nostalgia watching this
Aci: "HM YES This smells of _unfinished area_ ."
But in Subnautica the void looks the same. It just ends at about 2500m and then you can go under the map. Only in Below Zero the Void has an actual ground at 2400m.
Is that so? I remember IGP building on the floor in Subnautica.
@@LordiAwa In creative there is just nothing. Idk about survival though. Maybe hat a mod?
The void had a bottom only for a few versions during early access.
@@Aci_yt ah thanks
@@Aci_yt Incorrect, the void terrain at the bottom was there until the big little update (which was after the game's release)
I would love to see a map with the hell hole, I never got to use that entrance to the lava zone since I started playing way after they removed it
Unfortunately those builds which have the hell hole are inaccessible, along side most of the builds.

You mean the farlands lookin spikes? Pretty sure they weren’t in the game when ghost leviathans were added since that was pretty late in development
Yo this is sick
This video is so cool, I instantly clicked on it! Yeah I wish those ruins were still in the game in some way. It would be both very cursed, very fun and cool to see the base game map in bz. I am just starting to think of how weird the starting part would be where robin crashes? Like where should she crash her ship? I need to see this!
Ruins?
2:17 Not gonna lie, i had this part of the map in my nightmare and there was ghost leviathan waiting.
Aci, the ruins in the beginning might have had those textures as a placeholder
This reminds me of playing the early open beta builds. I’d always get lost in some barren expanse because there’s no map, and I had to find the Giant Oblivion Spikes(tm) to know I had to go the opposite direction to get home.
FINNALY SOMEONE REMEMBERED MY BOI THE JUMPING LEVIATHAN
Who remembers the giant cavern beneath the front of the aurora? I wish Aci would cover multiple versions including that one in particular!!
Unfortunately those builds are inaccessible at this current time.
Me too !!!
I've accidentally come across that unfinished Aurora section in the current version. I don't know why, but no amount of reloading or troubleshooting would fix it. The whole Aurora was unexplorable and I couldn't finish that save because no escape rocket.
At 10:15 that mushroom tree STILL doesn't have a wreck on it. I usually build my base on that mushroom. The wreck is a little more to the west.
for some reason, i always get scared whenever a terrain ''tile'' has not loaded in yet, and theres a big hole. i really dont like that.
It would be fun to see you playing the sub 1 map in bz.
I think in this version there is a huge hole leading to the future lava zone where sea dragons were supposed to catch and drag reapers into the lava zone
Honestly they should have kept that in. It makes so much more sense with the reaper skeletons in the lava zonem
@@Cornchips-om5rf the aurora probably landed on top of the hole
Sadly not, I checked and that part of the map doesn't even exist yet. Only void there
@@marinarasauce6609 yea thats said in the lore im pretty sure, or atleast referenced
@@duck_time i don’t believe it is but it’s a good theory
can you get some newer versions like the beta or 1 - 2 updates after the alpha?
can you please make the video on the original subnautica map in below zero
The ‘mini safe shallows’ you found by the Aurora is actually in the complete game now. It’s a sub-biome of the Crash Zone called Crash Zone Mesas. There’s six mesas in total, and a Reaper is often patrolling a sizable chunk between two of them, so I never visit unless I get turned around.
Renamed to crag feild
Damn really cool to see the old alpha map nice video
I am hella excited for the subnautica map in below zero
You should've tried going to the lava zone from the back of the Aurora because as far as i can remember there used to be a big drop from the Aurora to the lava zone but it might've been not in this Alpha version of the map idk.
You mean the “hell hole?” From what I remember it was located near the front.
Trust me i already checked, unfortunately i was not able to find any trace of the lava zone. It was in a bit of a later version if i recall
@@JuniPinPan It was added in I think around March, when the aurora was first implemented. Around that time they started working on Lava Zone assets and they needed a testing ground, and they ended up also adding the hell hole.
I like how the thumbnail has a sandworm on it but aci doesn’t talk about that or the entity gallery
I wanted to find something that makes people think of the alpha for the thumbnail, i think the sand worm does that
The entity gallery doesn't work with this, sadly.
There is ruins in the Grand Reef aswell but less difined. It's more like a foundation than buildings
Tell us how you/she did it please!!!
5:20 i was somehow able to predict aci saying that it was like the farlands before he even said it, and this is the first time watching the video
I feel sad bout that lonely plant in the twisty bridge area man, Lonely lil plant ;v;
If she could get it so we can dig into the sand and build/form our own tunnels and islands, that would be awesome! I do miss the tunnel at the end of the Aurora, down passed the reaper which leads to the lost river
Honestly, this just reminds me of my first time playing below zero and the whole times i was like "omg LOOK!!! Its *insert cut content here* FULLY REALIZED" Especially with rock punchers.
Your intro scared the hell out of me. That crescendo man! XD
At 9:35 i swear i saw the garg
Good god this brings back memories. Old Subnautica was built differently… literally
Even having some fun in below zero cause my save file corrupted and restored a beta testers version from 2015 and I get to see all the stuff they took out during beta
10:35

With the walls the far lands was straight away what I thought
A "Seinfeld Map" in "Subnautica." Move along, nothing to see here.
Wow this is pretty awesome also i would love to see the original map in bz
huh?

I made a video on the SN 3 announcement :)
You said something about the old Reaper textures. Am I the only one who haven't seen them yet?
I miss the giant black spikes that covered the ground around the early grand reef.
never relized that there was a legit way of getting into the jelly caves, I have always used that small offshoot tunnel
I'd like blue cave crawlers it's my favorite color maybe they can make it so we can chose the color on them
is better for the twisty bridges to be a safe starting biome, good choice for the devs
bro the alpha map had the subnautica version of the farlands
Ya it would be interesting to see subnatica in subnatica bolow zero also I don’t know ho to spell
Do the original map in below zero…
…You Won’t.
So your a pngtuber now.. (sort of).. So you have chosen death.
WHEN TF DID U GET TO 200k
I stopped watching you for like 7 days and you’re at 200k already
Today actually :)
What command did you us for the aurora please?
Damn some of this stuff brings back memories, while I've never played the game myself, I have followed it's development back in the day ever since NS2HD released the first gameplay teaser on his channel back in October 2014.
Awesome video, think you can do the same to Below zero?
Was the side entrance of the reactor room already on the aurora in the alpha map?
Why did the alien ruins make me want to play stranded deep? 😭
I have another idea for a artist draw subnautica creatures video. Maybe you could have them make concepts for creatures to live on the islands.
There was never a wreak on the main mushroom in Subnautica
If I were to give a recommendation, I would suggest making a VOD channel for your Twitch streams as some people (particularly me) may not have time to tune in live on Twitch.
I’ve been watching you for quite a while by now hope you keep making subnautica vids!
Just a suggestion in case you still want to delve into old subnautica like this, why not try return to the cliffs biome?
at one point I remember there being a hole under the aurora and I cant remember what was in it. you should see if that exists
This was added in the Crash site update for the game, around march 2015, so no, its not there.
back then you had to find the radiation suit ._.
Aci! Please make the video on the Subnautica map in Below Zero, this video was really cool and I’d love to see the next one 💜
The shallow near the aurora is the creepvine plants
Bro u are furry?
No
Who all remembers Aci's original name?
Below Zero early access also had stuff that was cut like the methane caves, I never saw it because I kept away until it released to avoid spoilers. Would be cool to see that stuff too.
The ancient mod should create the old sea worm thingy that popped from the ground and make it a creature or make the ice worm swim
Didn't the island not make a noise or something
1:15 Hey Aci! These were actually meant to be a jumping challenge that the devs later took out because it didn't really work out well.
What do you mean by a jumping challenge?
@@crimblr The player was assumedly meant to climb up that structure and platform across it.
I've been thinking that those walls are like the farlands in Minecraft and then you said it lol
I remember the parts of this map lmao, been playing subnautica since it was pre released in steam
I really like your trainer can you please do some more Subnautica below zero
man remember when the terraformer was a thing?
I always wanted to see how the map changed from early versions but i could never do the steam trick to roll back the game to older versions.
Nice vids keep it up I’ve been watching for 3 years
Igp has a video on how to get your game to the original version make a video on it
He made a video on it in the past.
I remember the spike biome behind the ship
Is this mod public yet?
At exactly 7:58... wtf is a titanic texture doing there. Worth exploring further.
Titanic texture? Where'd you see that
@@floorpanel8749 at the time stamp. See all the portholes?
the reapers old habitat looked like the safe shallows but deeper that was before the aurora crashed i think
Now I want to see subnautica below zero with the base subnautica map
@10:50 it's in the regular game
Cheese 🧀
Yay i am 3 also realy cool video
Oh god. Impossible
