Subnautica walkthrough day 178/19/2023 ![]() ![]() Note that you don’t start out with all technologies immediately. Progression in Subnautica can informally be divided into the following technology tiers. You’ll need protection against heat to enter these areas. Some areas of the game are extremely hot, and the temperature of the water can reach near-boiling. You will need protection against radiation in order to enter these areas. ![]() Some areas of the game are polluted with radiation. Finding better vehicles or improving vehicle crush depths with vehicle mods is required to progress further. ![]() Although the player can free-dive at any depth (to our knowledge), all vehicles have limited “crush depths,” beneath which, they will take periodic damage. The deeper you descend into the ocean, the greater the pressure is. The player’s personal oxygen supply gates how long you can free-drive away from an oxygen source. ![]() Other oxygen resources commonly include player constructed bases, vehicles, or pipe systems. While away from base, the basic free-diving game loop involves descending below the surface, exploring, gathering resources, and then returning to the surface (or another oxygen resources), then diving again. There are multiple tiers of oxygen tank available. Oxygen length can be improved by equipping oxygen tanks. When you’re free diving, the more oxygen you can carry, the deeper and longer you can dive. You can choose to bring these resources with you to extend your trip, and you can eventually create more bases or mobile bases to extend your range even further. Food and water gate how long you can be away from base. The basic game loop involves departing base, finding resources, bringing them back to base, crafting/upgrading, eating/drinking, and then departing base again. Since you can initially only cook food and create water in base, Hunger and Thirst are effective constraints on how long you can explore without returning. To survive, the player needs to eat and drink. Progression in Subnautica proceeds along certain dimensions – how long a limited resource lasts, and how much or how long you can withstand a limiting aspect of the hostile environment. Others might be hidden inside a room that requires a special tool to reach (such as the plasma cutter or repair tool). For example, some technologies might be discoverable only below a certain depth in the game, such as 100m or 200m, to which the player cannot descend without another technology. While there is no explicit “research” in the game, your ability to acquire technologies is locked behind player capabilities. This progression loop in Subnautica is very satisfying. Its primary reward loop is finding resources and blueprints crafting them into tools and vehicles, and then using your newly improved character and tools to discover new areas and even more powerful tools. The Basics of Progressionīefore diving into the crafting system, it’s helpful to have a mental model of how progression works in Subnautica - the way in which the player becomes more effective. We are not generally considering the mere fact that a technology or tool exists in the game to be a spoiler (especially when that tech is shown in trailer videos), though how or where to find that technology may be a spoiler. This guide will generally avoid spoilers. We’ll try to explain what is helpful to know without ruining the beautiful sense of discovery that Subnautica evokes. We love Subnautica but sometimes found it frustrating to have to travel to an area multiple times, only because we learned (through out-of-game information) that a critical resource existed in an area that we had missed the first time (and did not know to look for). Welcome to the definitive guide to Subnautica! In this guide we hope to lay out the key information you’ll need to know to progress through the game efficiently. ![]()
