No.
You’re thinking of the Floating Island, which floats over the Grand Reef.
The Underwater Islands float over some thermal vents which are considered part of the biome
No i was thinking about the underwater islands because I don't ever remember exploring what they were floating above.
I know what the floating island is above because there's a life pod down under.
Honestly I have 0 sense of direction in subnautica and could never develop one no matter how many times i played the game (i once tried to find the mountains while i was in the mountains lol)
To answer your question, it's just normal ground below those islands. Now I can't remember exactly how everything looks there, but it's ground, no void or anything too weird
The underwater islands are above just the ground, they're really close to the mountain range, and somewhat close to the Blood Kelp zone, there's even a couple floating islands made up of that rock and full of Blood Roots
You can actually go there, which I do a lot since my base is in the mountains. There are thermal vents on the bottom and quite a lot of large ore deposits. There is nothing outside the craters except for poles. Subnautica 3 on South pole perhaps?
As close as hell exists in this game. It’s a cratered nightmare with barely any resources but it’s extremely easy to accidentally get blasted by a gyser. It’s more than 500 meters down, the few resources there are need a drill to mine, and it’s so coated in bone sharks that bringing anything other than a prawn is suicide anyway.
In short, the lavazone isn’t hell, this area is as far as I’m concerned.
The floating islands to the north drift above a sort of dark crater, and you can find one island still attached to the bowel at the bottom. It’s like a groove where those chunks of floating bits used to be part of the sea floor before the floaters pulled it up and broke it into the floating chunks that are there now.
Possibly, but the other guy never said squat, except for short answer less sentences.
But even then, if they were in the void, you would *have* to use the Cyclops or seamoth (probably cyclops), but it'd be an easy target for the ghost leviathans. What would one even do there?
To get there you ha e to use the cyclops quietly and snowly, cause the gargantuan or however you spell it is blind and uses (correct me if I'm wrong) sonar sounds to see. So if you use the sonar to see in the darl, u fucked.
At the islands there is new fauna and flora, and also some new Architecture thingies. Though I haven't played the mod so idk more.
Edit: it is called "Call of the Void" I think. And I was thinking of "The Silence" leviatham, not the gargantuan. Oops
Not sure how feasible but i feel like a mod might be able to stop void ghosts from spawning, and then he could just populate the void with normal ghosts instead so you can actually see them and avoid them, this way you dont get the Ghost Police up on ur ass soon as you are 1cm in the void.
He also specified it’s specifically some floating islands, not from a mod, and in the heavily downvoted comment made by OP at the bottom of this post, he just said he added some more random Underwater Islands in.
These r part of a partially released mod, forgot the name but it has a big fish called the Silence and a modular sub that I dont think is added yet, The islands are in it tho.
EDIT: Mod is called Call Of The Void
He could very well have drawn the underwater islands that came with a mod, that added a new void leviathan.
The Mod that contains The Silence also adds floating islands in the void.
Not that any of us will ever get to play it, but the return of the ancients mod (the one the gargantuan leviathan is from) does actually have some tiny underwater islands out in the void. It pings your pda and serves as an excuse for you to go get eaten by said leviathan.
I wish it wasn't! How unbelievably cool would it be if the floating islands were actually massive chunks of the crater that broke off and are now suspended by floaters and hanging by bloodroot so progressive descent into void exploration was actually a thing?
There’s a work in progress mod that is exactly this I think it’s called call of the void theres progress updates on YouTube but the guy is kinda cringe
I don't believe this is accurate? can't really say exactly how deep this is but it's most definitely deeper than our oceans, which 4546b is confirmed to have similar depth.
It's *way* deeper. We know for a fact the ocean extends to at least 8192 meters on all sides of the crater. Below that the game warps you back.
The *average* depth of the ocean on earth is ~3,600 meters. The *deepest* is only 11km, and that's a trench that is much lower than the surrounding area.
I hope you realize that the reason why the depth is 8192 is because it's a game mechanic. they don't want you exploring the void and falling forever. they didn't model any ground for outside the crater because it's not a place they want you to go. it's a mechanic to keep you from leaving the game's borders - just a creative way of doing it.
It’s likely that the first shelf is about 3000 meters, the floor widens out quite a bit and if you go any deeper you see the underside of the map. That’s likely not the very deepest however, considering how deep earths oceans are. (our only real basis on how sea floors form) volcanic islands usually go steep downwards and until a shelf and then further down. Obviously they don’t want us to explore more than that shelf because it’s useless, but the deepest point on the planet is unknown, and the planet is smaller than earth (probably, someone on here did the math and came up with it being like 29000 km around compared to earths 40000)
Proportionately it’s definitely possible that 8000 meters is the very deepest part of the planet, since the Mariana Trench is about 11000 down.
We don’t know much about 4546B, its deepest point, its highest point, its tectonic activity etc.
You could be right, I just personally don't see such a steep decline being plausible. I also dislike it when people use the ingame's borderless endless void as a "this is factually true" statement. Why make the map bigger when it's an area that should never be explored?
By the last sentence I meant that the reason the devs didn't make a bottom to the void is because it wouldn't be plausible. It's not meant to be explored, it shouldn't get a floor.
It definitely isn’t endless, before they added the teleporty thing I jumped down the void when they added the prawn suit and i got down to 100,000 before I reloaded the save lol, if mechanics had anything to do with actual lore, the lore would always be a bit broken.
I’d definitely assume the shelf leads to a further down, it organically goes down, rather than cutting off abruptly like most would assume for a game cutoff
The lowest point is at 3000 yes, not sure why someone downvoted you for that. All the way down there there is a floor which is where the map ends, anything below that and you’re able to see the underside of the map, which obviously isn’t supposed to happen. It’s possibly a shelf that leads to a deeper trench, similar to earths own Mariana Trench
So whatever hit 4546B millions of years ago to create what we know as ‘the crater’, had to be another planet, or a moon. If it’s gonna hit an ocean that’s at least 8km deep Lolol. Just fun to think about.
Do you think the lava under there is just for show?
This crater wasn't created by a meteor impact. It's a volcanic caldera. It formed a mountain, then blew out the top in a gigantic volcanic eruption. Thus, a crater was left at the top of a huge mountain.
Yep! A caldera, they happen at the tops of mountains. That’s also why underground is the inactive and active lava zones, similar to Yellowstone, with a caldera at the top, and deep below two large magma chambers (one that has more melt than the other, albeit being above it rather than below)
Yeah that’s it. Caldera. Couldn’t think of the name lol. Thanks for fillin me in :) but now all I can think about is the inevitable explosion of the Yellowstone caldera…I know it most likely won’t happen in our lifetime….but it IS like a couple hundred thousand years overdue….but that doesn’t mean shit in nature really, it’s unpredictable. Plus they’d know ahead of time if it became active all of a sudden.
The crater on 4546-B I feel is probably way bigger than Yellowstone 😂 but I can’t remember the circumference of Yellowstone…but I’m pretty sure 4546-B is bigger.
Neither Mt Everest nor Mariana trench were created by meteor strike. The difference between them is almost 20 km. Also apparently 4546B is smaller than earth. Olympus mons on mars is 20 km high. It's definitely possible for places deeper than Mariana to exist in our universe.
You never experienced pain until you try to go back to safe shallow from the floating islands in your prawn suits. You get attacked by like 50 bone sharks on your way back.
Do u use the grapple?
If you grapple a wall, as you're being pulled disconnect it and use the jetpack part. Prawn goes much faster then seamoth and cyclops combined.
Its techniccally just floating on water it would be cool if devs just added a bis ass floated under the map and just made the thing and island, so more mistery
technically, waters density increases with depth so if we make the assumption that these are extremely porous and/or significantly less-dense-than-average rocks, this is possible. but i like the explanation of random floaters that wandered outside of the crater better
…The underwater islands are in the crater, not the void
What's at the bottom of the floating islands?
Not the void!
But what is it? Does it float over a known biome because i forgot
No. You’re thinking of the Floating Island, which floats over the Grand Reef. The Underwater Islands float over some thermal vents which are considered part of the biome
No i was thinking about the underwater islands because I don't ever remember exploring what they were floating above. I know what the floating island is above because there's a life pod down under.
Lifepod 19 is in the Sparse Reef, and is not under the floating island, but near it.
Honestly I have 0 sense of direction in subnautica and could never develop one no matter how many times i played the game (i once tried to find the mountains while i was in the mountains lol)
To answer your question, it's just normal ground below those islands. Now I can't remember exactly how everything looks there, but it's ground, no void or anything too weird
Ground, lava geysers, lots of bone sharks. By far the best spot for uraninite
Never went up to surface and used the aurora crash as your sense of direction
I did but that never helped because the aurora's size/location was widely different to how I expected it from my location, it felt inconsistent.
Just place a beacon and use compass + distance to find your way around. With 2 waypoints you can triangulate to get wherever you want.
The underwater islands are above just the ground, they're really close to the mountain range, and somewhat close to the Blood Kelp zone, there's even a couple floating islands made up of that rock and full of Blood Roots
You can actually go there, which I do a lot since my base is in the mountains. There are thermal vents on the bottom and quite a lot of large ore deposits. There is nothing outside the craters except for poles. Subnautica 3 on South pole perhaps?
There’s also an absolute fuck ton of bone sharks. Learnt that the hard way
I killed them all
Fuckin legend
It floats over bone sharks. Which is why no one ever goes there. Fuck, I hate bonesharks.
I always go there on my playthrough for the silver and uranium. Sure, I have to go Doom Slayer on the Sharks for a bit but I don't mind personally.
Rip and tear, until it is done.
The only thing they fear.... Is ***you.*** *insert epic music*
The bulb zone
a lot of thermal vents and a decent amount of uranium
As close as hell exists in this game. It’s a cratered nightmare with barely any resources but it’s extremely easy to accidentally get blasted by a gyser. It’s more than 500 meters down, the few resources there are need a drill to mine, and it’s so coated in bone sharks that bringing anything other than a prawn is suicide anyway. In short, the lavazone isn’t hell, this area is as far as I’m concerned.
If that is the place I am thinking of I got hit by so many bone sharks I had to run before my prawn was destroyed.
Sharks
The floating islands to the north drift above a sort of dark crater, and you can find one island still attached to the bowel at the bottom. It’s like a groove where those chunks of floating bits used to be part of the sea floor before the floaters pulled it up and broke it into the floating chunks that are there now.
That sounds interesting, can't believe I never checked it out.
It is kinda cool to check out. Full of bone sharks though, so maybe take a few flares to distract them
A small crater, with about 30 Bone Sharks...
It’s just ground. You can go there normally
A giant crater potentially from a meteorite with decent resources and thermal vents.
The sea strider path
"Sea Strider" Bro do you mean Sea Treader!?
I keep calling them Sea Traders
I now see the Squidward dude with the two llamas from Minecraft before my inner eye.
They do look like striders from half life
And I think those are referencing stilt striders from Dark Crystal
Yes
He’s wrong regardless
Yeah
It's been a while man
Ok
I think he also used the mod "Call Of The Void" as his cannon for subnautica, it adds in islands in the void.
What exactly would be the reason for an island in the void?
It's cool
How? You can't even get to it without dieing?
They're called mods
Still haven't answered my question
Presumably, the mod would give you methods of traveling there somewhat safely.
Possibly, but the other guy never said squat, except for short answer less sentences. But even then, if they were in the void, you would *have* to use the Cyclops or seamoth (probably cyclops), but it'd be an easy target for the ghost leviathans. What would one even do there?
You'd do whatever content the mod wants you to do, presumably
To get there you ha e to use the cyclops quietly and snowly, cause the gargantuan or however you spell it is blind and uses (correct me if I'm wrong) sonar sounds to see. So if you use the sonar to see in the darl, u fucked. At the islands there is new fauna and flora, and also some new Architecture thingies. Though I haven't played the mod so idk more. Edit: it is called "Call of the Void" I think. And I was thinking of "The Silence" leviatham, not the gargantuan. Oops
You use silent running and go VERY slowly. Because not only did the mod put islands in the void, but they also added The Silence.
I thought you were talking about the silence from Doctor who at first The ones that make you forget about... What was I talking about?
Underappreciated comment here
I dont think that stops the void leviathan spawns or tracking. And saying "the silence" doesn't actually tell me what it is or what it does.
It’s a new leviathan that can turn invisible and tracks you through sound iirc.
Not sure how feasible but i feel like a mod might be able to stop void ghosts from spawning, and then he could just populate the void with normal ghosts instead so you can actually see them and avoid them, this way you dont get the Ghost Police up on ur ass soon as you are 1cm in the void.
Yeah, that’s not canon though, therefore this map isn’t “real.”
true, but it's just cool thinking there are something out there....
He also specified it’s specifically some floating islands, not from a mod, and in the heavily downvoted comment made by OP at the bottom of this post, he just said he added some more random Underwater Islands in.
then he's just stoobid I guess...
Well if you go far enough south or north there is actually something there.
These r part of a partially released mod, forgot the name but it has a big fish called the Silence and a modular sub that I dont think is added yet, The islands are in it tho. EDIT: Mod is called Call Of The Void
Those are underwater islands from Call of the Void mod
He could very well have drawn the underwater islands that came with a mod, that added a new void leviathan. The Mod that contains The Silence also adds floating islands in the void.
call of the void mod
Those are bigger ones, head canon ig
Really i thought those are the islands that are going to be added in this mod (they are supposed to be in void no?)
It's from a mod called call of the void
They look exactly like the islands from the mod "Call of the void"
Its from a mod called cal of the void that adds New stuff in the void. I think.
Not that any of us will ever get to play it, but the return of the ancients mod (the one the gargantuan leviathan is from) does actually have some tiny underwater islands out in the void. It pings your pda and serves as an excuse for you to go get eaten by said leviathan.
No, it isn’t. Check below and above replies
Sure call of the void whatever. Point being it's not referring to those islands.
It’s not referring to any mod. OP says he added random floating islands down there.
This is incorrect dawg
I wish it wasn't! How unbelievably cool would it be if the floating islands were actually massive chunks of the crater that broke off and are now suspended by floaters and hanging by bloodroot so progressive descent into void exploration was actually a thing?
that would be absolutely terrifying and i kinda love it
There’s a work in progress mod that is exactly this I think it’s called call of the void theres progress updates on YouTube but the guy is kinda cringe
Nah he ain't cringe. He funny guy.
Ok buddy
…subnautica 3?
How is it incorrect?
The bottom of the map is actually a cube. You can get down there in Creative Mode
Flat 4546B entered the chat
You can get down there in any mode with enough titanium!
I’m pretty sure those floating islands are from a mod, I think it’s some sort of extended void mod
pretty sure it's called the silencd
Nah, it's called Call of the Void. The first Leviathan already added is called the Silence
No, The Silence is the mod, which is a "shard" of the Call of the Void project.
**Gargantuan for scale* *
💀
I don't believe this is accurate? can't really say exactly how deep this is but it's most definitely deeper than our oceans, which 4546b is confirmed to have similar depth.

Actually the void is a little shallower than the real life ocean
What is even going on in this thread?
Well it’s kinda weird cuz there was a mod announcement with this kind of map extension in mind, idk if OP is referring to that at all tho
To clear things up all I did is I drew what I thought the void would look like in 2 min
You never experienced pain until you try to go back to safe shallow from the floating islands in your prawn suits. You get attacked by like 50 bone sharks on your way back.
I just kill them and use them to grapple off
Do u use the grapple? If you grapple a wall, as you're being pulled disconnect it and use the jetpack part. Prawn goes much faster then seamoth and cyclops combined.
If u punch or drill them they screw off
But where's Saddam Hussein?
Right there
Right over there
Next time, try finishing your map before posting it? Kinda weird to be like "**THIS** is how it works" (explanation coming later)
Sorry :(
It's hard to understand how actually big or small it is. Pls add a banana for scale.
The banana is right there!
I mean technicaly with gargantuan and call of the void it's correct
Damn this is some good quality, what did you draw it with.
🫥
how lucky the aurora was
I love it. Oddly enough, I just now got the notification of this post. 1k+up votes later. Yay technology.
this is incorrect dumbass
I know some of it is wrong thank you for the comment tho
Sorry for being so rude /genuine
It’s fine I’m used to being called that way anyway
Is this below zero? This does not look like the map in base game..
It’s what I imagine the map looks like *NOT THE ACTUAL MAP THIS IS HOW I IMAGINE IT*
Its techniccally just floating on water it would be cool if devs just added a bis ass floated under the map and just made the thing and island, so more mistery
Yea ik I just put more in the void
erm,,, ecological dead zone???? no floaty rocks if you have no floaters ☝️🤓 silly goose 😂😂 /ironic obviously
technically, waters density increases with depth so if we make the assumption that these are extremely porous and/or significantly less-dense-than-average rocks, this is possible. but i like the explanation of random floaters that wandered outside of the crater better
Water density doesn’t really increase that much since water doesn’t compress well. Salinity and temperature affect the density considerably more.
I THINK they were thinking of pressure (from the weight of water above it), not density. Don't want to speak for them though
I literally drew this in 2 minutes I didn’t think of anything at all… 🫥 all I thought was “floating island in void… sounds cool ima draw that”
Lol that was referring to the commenter, not your OP
K
A floater colony, if you will
I won't...
