+# Cut Content (Below Zero)+ +This page serves to chronicle any significant content that was cut from the final version of *Subnautica: Below Zero*.+ +## Biomes+ +### Deep Arctic+ ++ +- **Type:** Aquatic+- **Depth range:** 330 - 700 meters+ +The **Deep Arctic** was the entrance to the **Methane Ice Caves** Biome, and was surrounded entirely by the **Arctic** biome. It was going to be the original home for the cut **Ice Dragon** Leviathan. Not much was known about the biome before it was cut. The Deep Arctic was removed in build 15728 after the 2019 summer developer retreat, and everything below 500 meters in the biome (including the Methane Ice Caves) was completely filled in with terrain.+ +**Resources:**+- Nickel Ore+- Ruby+- Glow Whale+- Rock Puncher+ +### Fissure+ ++ +- **Type:** Caves+- **Depth range:** 320 - 480 meters+ +The **Fissure** was a small unfinished transitional biome that connected the **Purple Vents** with the old **Crystal Caves**. Not much was known about the biome before it was removed. The Biome and the original Crystal Caves were removed in build 15728 after the 2019 summer developer retreat.+ +This biome's purpose was later filled in by the **Deep Purple Vents**.+ +**Resources:**+- Lithium+- Quartz+- Blighter+ ++*A view of the fissure with fog turned off.*+ +### Frozen River+ ++ +- **Type:** Above ground+- **Depth range:** Above sea level+ +The **Frozen River**, as the name suggests, was a narrow chasm which a frozen river ran through. Prior to the **Frostbite update**, the river was a part of the original story's intro, where the player would cross through the biome as meteors rained from above. The biome is still in the game, but can only be accessed by using the jump boost of a **Prawn Suit** or by building your way up to it.+ +**Flora:**+- Blue Scrub Bush+- Frost Vase Plant+- Frozen River Plant 01+ ++*Overview, day*+ ++*Overview, night*+ ++*Frozen river - by Pavel Goloviy*+ ++*Early sketch of the frozen river - by Pavel Goloviy*+ ++*Frozen river paintover process - by Pavel Goloviy*+ ++*Above water concept - by Pavel Goloviy*+ ++*Frozen River Waterfall - by Pavel Goloviy*+ ++*"Canyon Plant" - by Pavel Goloviy*+ +### Hoverzone 3+ ++ +- **Type:** Above ground+- **Depth range:** Above sea level+- **Biome ID:** hoverzone3+ +**Hoverzone 3** was an unfinished surface biome that served as the way back to the **Architect Gate Base** (which at the time was known as the Architect Shield Base) during the game's final act. It had no fauna and was connected to the **Fabricator Caverns** via a big deep hole. The biome was one of the three original "Hover" biomes, the other two being the **Glacial Basin** (`hoverarea`) and the **Arctic Spires** (`hoverzone2`). In early access version 8 and 8.1 the entrance to the area was blocked off by a wall of crystals to stop the player from progressing further than the developers intended. It was then cut as the story no longer required that the player be kept from accessing the **Architect Gate Base** (formally known as the Architect Shield Base). The area was removed from the world as of build 32522 and the crystal wall has been replaced by a short tunnel leading to a dead end. Before the area was removed a **Shadow Leviathan** and a few crystals could be found at the entrance to the area.+ +### Ice Sheet+ ++ +- **Type:** Above ground+- **Depth range:** Above sea level+ +The **Ice Sheet** was an unfinished surface biome that used to be a one-way route leading to the **Arctic Kelp Forest** from the **Arctic Spires**. The area where the biome used to reside has been filled with terrain, however, the biome ID is still in the game.+ +### Leviathan Trench+ +The **Leviathan Trench** was a biome listed on the developer Favro during early development. It was eventually cut for unknown reasons.+ +### Methane Ice Caves+ ++ +- **Type:** Caves+- **Depth range:** 480 - 890 meters+- **Point of Interest:** Marguerit Maida's Base (old), Methane Ice Caves Cache+ +The **Methane Ice Caves** would have been the deepest biome in the game at 883m deep. Before it was cut, it contained the earliest iteration of **Marguerit Maida's Base** (Coordinates: 1064 -595 -657), at the time a placeholder copy of Research Base Cappa, at a depth of 590m. The player meets Marguerit for the second time there. Though the biome ID is still in the game, the area was cut for unknown reasons. The Methane Ice Caves was one of the first biomes teased with concept art. The Biome was removed in build 15728 after the 2019 summer developer retreat.+ +**Fauna:**+- Spinefish+ ++*The base in the Methane Ice Caves*+ +### Rocket Area Shelf+ +The **Rocket Area Shelf** was the pre-release location of the Exchanger Rocket. As evidenced by the leftover biome ID, it was located near a cave in the Ice Sheet called the Rocket Cave. For progression reasons, the area was cut a month before release and replaced with **Delta Island**.+ +## Characters+ +### kn1ghTski65+ +**kn1ghTski65** was a character that sold a passenger shuttle to **Robin**. He only appeared in the **Frostbite update**.+ +### Maxim Plenty+ +**Maxim Plenty** was a character serving as the Director of the 4546B Vesper Mission. In the story prior to the Frostbite update, he briefly interrogates Robin on the unusual biometrics recorded from her biosample that she sent up in the Exchanger Rocket. In the Deep Dive iteration of the story, Maxim interrogates Serik Jevov, ordering him to deactivate the planetary shield, and proceeds to put Sam under arrest.+ +### Serik Jevov+ +**Serik "Jeff" Jevov** was the main antagonist of the story prior to the Frostbite update. Jevov served as a contractor working for Alterra, alongside Robin. During the game’s original introduction, he awakens Al-An and escapes into an Alterra Shuttle only to survive crash-landing in the Glacial Basin. At some point in the story, Jevov would contact Robin on an unmonitored channel informing that he could provide her information regarding her conflict with Al-An residing in her head shortly before cutting off. Sometime after acquiring Jevov’s PDA, the Vesper finds him in the next sector, and alongside Robin is ordered to return to the Vesper as soon as a ship was made available. Shortly after Robin sends the Enzyme 42 sample in the Exchanger Rocket up to the Vesper Station, Jevov activates the planetary shield, intentionally destroying the rocket in the process. It is then revealed that he had released Khaara onto the station and threatened its members on board to relocate the Vesper to the nearest star system to receive a cure from his colleagues, in order to capture Al-An for himself.+ +The voice actor for Serik Jevov was Alexander Mercury.+ +Prior to the **Deep Dive update**, he was originally named **Jo Jeffreys**.+ +## Coral+ +### Tree Spires Coral+ ++ +The **Tree Spires Coral** was a coral species that was never implemented into *Subnautica: Below Zero*. Its name would suggest that it was meant to appear in the **Tree Spires**, but the Tree Spires Coral was never added there. The reason this coral species was cut is unknown.+ +## Dialogues+ +### EA1 - EA5+ +#### Act I+ ++ +> "NB ALL TEXT AND VOICE IS WORK IN PROGRESS AND NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF FINAL QUALITY*+>+> EMPEROR (DREAM SEQUENCE): We are different.
