Subnautica 2 Crafting Guides

10 essential craftable items that will transform your underwater survival. Every fragment location, every material, every hidden shortcut — nothing missed.

Tadpole

★★★★☆ Early-Mid Game

Your first submarine. 200m depth, safe exploration, and the foundation for every other vehicle. Three fragments scattered across the map.

Scout Chassis

★★★☆☆ Mid Game

Fast recon vehicle for tight spaces. Agile, quick, and perfect for fragment hunting where the Tadpole can't fit.

Depth Module MK1

★★★★☆ Mid Game

Upgrade Tadpole from 200m to 300m. Unlocks entirely new biomes, wrecks, and resources. The gate to the deep ocean.

Engine Efficiency Module

★★★☆☆ Mid Game

15% less power consumption. Stacks with solar charger for virtually unlimited range during daytime.

Photovoltaic Charger

★★☆☆☆ Early Game

Free solar recharging near the surface. The easiest vehicle upgrade — park and charge while you take a break.

Sonic Resonator

★★★☆☆ Early-Mid Game

Detects hidden resources and fragments within 100m. Turns blind searching into targeted gathering.

Habitat Builder

★★★★☆ Early-Mid Game

Build underwater bases — your safe harbor, storage hub, and crafting center. Transforms you from survivor to settler.

High Capacity Air Tank

★★☆☆☆ Early Game

Double your oxygen to 90 seconds. The single most impactful early-game upgrade — reach deeper, stay longer.

Rebreather

★★★☆☆ Early-Mid Game

Reduces depth-based oxygen drain. Combined with High Capacity Tank, makes 200m+ dives survivable.

Thermal Reactor Module

★★★★☆ Mid Game

Infinite power from thermal vents. The endgame energy solution — park near lava, charge forever.
