The Alterra Corporation may be known for their monopoly of the weapons trade during The Expansion, but what they desire more
than profit is control. Control of the weapons markets, control of their devoted employees, control of the very environments in which they operate.
Ever on the lookout for an opportunity, Alterra executives devised a secret mission: the scientific crew of the Aurora were to tame and weaponize the native creatures of 4546B. These innocent beasts were to be transformed into formidable weapons, ready to march into battle as foot soldiers of the highest bidder.
However, fate had different plans. The Aurora met a tragic demise, thwarting the realization of this ambitious goal. In the explosive aftermath, strewn across the forsaken planet, cloning equipment lies broken, the mission unfufilled.
Ever enterprising, you see not waste but untapped potential. While these creatures may be useless as weapons to you, they hold the promise of companionship and hope in troubled times.
Welcome to Subnautica Pets BZ!
This new update brings new features and fixes and is a stepping stone towards a final release that aligns the mod to its Subnautica sibling.
In this release:
- A whole new mechanism for spawning and managing pets! Use the Pet Fabricator to spawn your chosen pet, and the Pet Console to manage, rename and, if you're really callous, kill the beasties keeping your bases warm while you're away.
- Framework and assets in place to add the new "Adventure Mode", as featured in the Subnautica Pets 2 mod. Coming to BZ soon!
- 6 new custom pets to choose from!
The existing mod features still remain:
- Choose from one of five snugglesome pets:
- Snowstalker Baby.
- Pengling Adult.
- Pengling Baby.
- Trivalve (Blue and Gold).
- Pinnicarid
- Enable the "Bonus Pets" feature in Mod Options, and you can choose from these NEW custom pets:
- Cat
- Dog
- Rabbit
- Snow Fox
- Walrus
- Seal
- Spawn in any indoor location, above ground or underwater.
- Watch the little critters scurry around your base, walking, jumping and sleeping.
- Approach your pet to interact and watch its reaction. Left-click a pet to play a random animation.
- Pet names and locations are saved when you save your game, so they'll always be there to welcome you back at base!
IMPORTANT: This mod uses BepInEx and Nautilus. You must install these to use this mod! Please install the latest versions of "Tobey's BepInEx Pack for Subnautica Below Zero" and "Nautilus BZ". Without them, this mod WILL NOT WORK!
Please delete any old versions of the mod before installing this one!
You can now use Vortex to install and manage the mod. You'll need the latest Vortex version, and the "Subnautica Below Zero Support" extension. Manual installation steps are shown in the video below.
How it works:
This new version does things differently to before. There are NO menu options required. At the beginning of the game/when you load for the first time, you'll see some new Base Parts unlocked. You can craft these for one titanium each:
- Pet Fabricator - this works like a normal fabricator/workbench, but allows you to create pets for one just one piece of titanium!
- Pet Console - this allows you to manage Pets within any given base. Note that the mod establishes an area where base parts are close together, and considers the pets within that area. If you build another base miles away, a Pet Console in that new base will show only pets within the new base complex.
Rename a pet by clicking it in the list, entering a name in the text field and click "Rename". You can kill a pet (you monster!) or all pets (evil!) by clicking the relevant button and clicking it again within the countdown.
Warning:
- A Subnautica Pet is for life, not just for Christmas!
- Pets are clumsy and may get stuck. Right-click a pet to “beckon” them, and immediately move backwards. The Pet will move to your position.
