You can make vehicles to aid you through your adventures but overall just be ready to explore and get a fresh pair of underwhere because this game can be really scary. so know that you will have to go deeper eventually. But most of the time the deeper you go the better the loot. TIP: if you get stuck finding a fragment to something some fragments are more common in certain locations. these are good for you to find you can explore them and find some valuable fragents and datboxes in them. Wrecks sometimes you may find areas with large metal debris littering the ocean floor. this oftentimes helped me make progress throughout the game. TIP: the way i played was a lot of fun, Each day i would make a plan of action of what direction and where i would explore. Some blueprints can immediatly be unlocked by finding a databox. Then scanning enough fragments to unlock a bluprint which you can then craft. In subnautica the way you progress is by first making a scanner ( PRIORITIZE A SCANNER!!! ) once you get a drill arm you canĭrill these for lots of that type of resourse, you dont have to do this but it does speed things up. some plants will give a usefull item when you use your knife on them. Just picked up off the ground, walls, and celings. some resourses can be picked from plants or N, picking resourses off the ground and off plants. TIP: there are three types of outcrops which all house different resourses. On the celing once you left click these 3 times the rock breaks and leaves a resourse you can pick these are rocks that are just everywhere on the ground walls i will mark the optional ones with an O and the needed ones with a N. Some you will need to do some are optional. To gather resources there are 4 ways to gather different resourse types You may wonder well how do i refill my oxgen well good question just swim to the surface once you pop your head above the water your oxgen will refill over time. Of course more max oxygen the longer you can stay underwater If you make an ultra high capacity tank your oxgen goes up to 180 max If you make a high capacity o2 tank then your oxygen goes up to 135 max If you make a standard o2 tank then your oxygen goes up to 75 max You can tell your depth by the number at the top center of the screen. and if your under 200 meters this oxygen depleats by 9 every 3 seconds however if you are below 100 meters this number is 6 oxygen depleated every 3 seconds. when you are under water your oxygen depleats every 3 seconds oxygen goes down by 3. pay attention to this one.Īnd the large green one is Oxygen. how thirsty your character is keep a good eye on this one. When you hop into the game you will notice 4 circular bars in the bottom left of the screen S makes the character move in the direction of the back of his head. D makes the character move in the direction of his right ear. A makes the character move in the direction of his left ear. W makes the character move in the direction the characters face is facing. so spacebar makes the character move in the direction the top of the character's head is facing. When swimming its simple just imagine that your character's head turns to look anywhere the you make it look.



(the pda is what subnautica calls the inventory.) also when you find abandoned PDAs they go into this tab so you can play them and listen to them. in the data logs when you scan something the data goes here so that you can read and learn about the thing you just scanned. so you can go into the voice logs to replay the conversation. so for example if you got up to get a snack but while you where gone you missed a conversation. basically when dialoge happens it shows up in here. in the beacon managment tab you can show / hide these markers along with being able to change their color. when you get far away from the beacon you can always see a marker telling where your base is.

for example if you build your base and leave a beacon so you remember where it is. a beacon is a visible indicator on the hud that appears when you get far away from the location it comes from. in this tab you can customize beacon colors. in this tab you can scroll through to see all the blueprints you have unlocked. to assign an item to the hotbar hover your mouse over it in the inventory then press any key from 1 to 5. The first tab is the main inventory where you equip clothes hold items and equip stuff. in the inventory there are five tabs at the top the first tab ( i'm listing them off from left to right) Ok inside the inventory things can get a bit confusing but as long as you follow along you'll do just fine. Escape to pause and Tab to open inventory. left click to pick things up/interact with things. W A S D to move around Spacebar to jump and mouse to look around, left shift to run.
