Outpost Zero

Research Base Zero is the primary Seabase used by the ground research crew of the Vesper. It serves as the home of Robin Goodall and her team, and as such, it is where the old story begins.

Appearance
Research Base Zero is a large installation composed of two Large Rooms, three Multipurpose Rooms, and a large deck composed of metal mesh platforms and stairs. The deck includes an open-air Prawn Suit service station. At the time of the game, the base is half-buried in snow and the deck is partly crumpled, though the interior is undamaged.

Robin Goodall's Room
Robin Goodall's room is a basic Multipurpose Room with a bed and some decorations. It features an aquarium with some fish from Subnautica, as well as plant pots growing land plants such as a Ming Plant, a Bulbo Tree, and a Grub Basket. Robin's room also contains various pictures, including one of a Trivalve, Robin with several Pengwings and Penglings, and one of a Titan Holefish. Finally, the room contains a cabinet with a pair of dive suits and a PDA by the bed.

In Experimental, this room is now divided into two smaller sleeping quarters, plus a small common room.

Break Room
Through a bulkhead out of Robin's room lies the Break Room. It is a Large Room with several tables, chairs, and a few benches. It also features a bar area with a Coffee Vending Machine and a Vending Machine. The room also has a Water Filtration Machine by the bar and several placeholder posters. Finally, the room has two windows and six total exits.

Serik's Room
Serik Jevov's room is similar to Robin's in that it is a Multipurpose Room with a bed in it. However, it is more barren compared to her room. It has one poster: one of a kitty in a glass helmet with the caption "Keep Calm" and one picture contains several Below Zero characters, including Serik Jevov and Robin Goodall. The room also features a cabinet with only one divesuit - one is missing - and a Locker full of what appear to be vehicle upgrade modules. On the bed lies a PDA.

Post-Frostbite, this room is inaccessible.

Laboratory
The Laboratory is a Large Room that features a great many scientific instruments. The west side of the room has many empty shelves and Counters, as well as an Aquarium of Subnautica fish. Towards the center of the room is a Specimen Analyzer, which was cut content from Subnautica. The room also has a large Bioreactor, many sample containers, a Modification Station, and some Lab Equipment, as well as one window.

Cargo Room
The Cargo Room is a small Multipurpose Room filled with crates and shelves. The room is mostly empty of anything notable, save for a PDA on one of the crates.

In Experimental, this room has been removed.

Greenhouse
The Greenhouse is a Large Room filled with plants and botanical equipment. It has a Large Room Glass Dome. The room has four Lantern Trees growing in Indoor Growbeds, one in each quadrant of the room, and many Wall Planters, Plant Shelves, and Plant Pots growing Marblemelon Plants. It also features a Counter on which there is a miniature version of the Indoor Growbed, and a Locker containing a Marblemelon and a Lantern Fruit.

In Experimental, this room is a Multipurpose Room with a Multipurpose Room Glass Dome, and the Lantern Trees now bear fruit.

Story (Pre-Frostbite)
The story begins inside Research Base Zero with Robin waking up to the sound of Sam Goodall calling her. Upon answering Sam tells Robin there is a meteor shower in bound and that she needs to evacuate. After that, Serik Jevov goes missing. Robin Goodall goes searching for him at Alien Research Site Zero, and upon returning, she is faced with an avalanche as a result of the meteor shower. The base is overtaken by snow and is no longer accessible for the remainder of the game.

Story (Post-Frostbite)
Unknown. As of Frostbite, Robin Ayou is an unauthorized stranger on Planet 4546B, and never visits the base in the story. Research Base Zero still exists and is easily reachable without hacks, but almost all content is non-functional and non-scannable. However, its design has changed even after being eliminated from the storyline, suggesting that it may be repurposed.
