The small fish around the lifepod will be your main source of food and water for the beginning portion of the game.īefore you adventure out too far you’ll want to make sure you have the basic survival tools. If you have Salt you can make Cured Fish that will last indefinitely in your inventory. The Bladderfish can also be used to make Water Bottles. You can then take them back to the Fabricator to turn them into cooked fish. You can find most of the basic raw materials here as well as Lithium. The Grassy Plateaus are covered in a blood red grass and dotted with small pillars. Metal Salvage can be taken back to the Fabricator and turned into 4 x Titanium. Stalkers will often drop their teeth when they try to pick up Metal Salvage. The Kelp Forest has the basic resources as well as Salt Deposits, Creepvines (for Creepvine Samples or Creepvine Seed Clusters) and Stalker Teeth. In the Safe Shallows you can find Acid Mushrooms, Quartz, Limestone Outcrops that can be broken for Copper Ore or Titanium and Sandstone Outcrops that can be broken for Gold, Lead or Silver Ore. The Safe Shallows is more or less in the center of the map and the crater where the game takes place extends out to almost 2km in all directions. These are all fairly safe to explore but you will eventually want to find a way to travel faster and deeper underwater. The biomes around the Safe Shallows are the Kelp Forest and Grassy Plateaus. For now you’ll need to keep your distance until you’re able to craft a Radiation Suit. If you get too close to it you’ll start taking radiation damage.

Your lifepod will spawn somewhere in the Safe Shallows but the exact location will be different every time. If you’re looking for the sequel check out the Subnautica: Below Zero walkthrough here. They may hold the key to getting off this planet. Mysterious structures can be seen dotted around the crater. You have all the building blocks, you just need to choose the layout and components.Īs you explore more you’ll discover something is not quite right on the planet. Once you’ve crafted a habitat builder you’ll be able to start constructing your own base.

Eventually you’ll build more advanced stations so you can craft more complex items and even underwater vehicles. The lifepod is equipped with a fabricator that will let you craft most of the basic items, as long as you have the raw materials. You’ll explore vast underwater landscapes as you search for supplies and a way to get off the planet. After your ship, the Aurora, crash lands on the planet you’ll find yourself stranded on an ocean world with only a small lifepod. Subnautica is an underwater survival game on an ancient alien planet.
