ENTITY // Spiral Plant
Can't Find Spiral Plant in Below Zero
Look in Ventgardens and the Deep Purple Vents. Use your knife on the plant to collect Spiral Plant Clippings, then grow one in an Interior Growbed or Plant Pot.

ENTITY // Spiral Plant
Look in Ventgardens and the Deep Purple Vents. Use your knife on the plant to collect Spiral Plant Clippings, then grow one in an Interior Growbed or Plant Pot.
ENTITY // Silver
Break Galena Outcrops in the Twisty Bridges, Lilypad Islands, and other early-to-mid biomes. Silver is a possible drop, so keep opening multiple outcrops.
ENTITY // Magnetite
Search the Deep Lilypads Cave for Magnetite nodes and deposits. Bring a vehicle and enough oxygen because the route is deeper than the starting biomes.
ENTITY // Kyanite
Search the Crystal Caves and Fabricator Caverns for Kyanite. Bring the Seatruck depth capacity and power reserve needed to leave safely.
ENTITY // Diamond
For an early handful, search the smaller Thermal Spires Caves near the lava geysers. For larger quantities later, check Koppa Mining Site and Tree Spires deposits.
ENTITY // Lead
Break Galena Outcrops in the Twisty Bridges first; Lilypad Islands and other mid-game biomes provide more routes. Lead can also come from Sea Monkeys.
ENTITY // Copper
Break Limestone Outcrops in the Shallow Twisty Bridges and other early Sector Zero biomes. Copper can also come from Sea Monkeys; large deposits are a later bulk source.
ENTITY // Creepvine Seed Cluster
Search the Arctic Kelp Forest for yellow-leafed Creepvines with pink glowing seed clusters, then pick the clusters by hand. Sea Monkeys can also offer them, but the forest route is the direct early solution.
ENTITY // Copper Wire
Craft one Copper Wire at the Fabricator with two Copper Ore. The blueprint is available after entering the Drop Pod, so you do not need to search a wreck for the finished wire.
ENTITY // Glass
Craft one Glass at the Fabricator with two Quartz. The recipe is available after entering the Drop Pod; search the early seabed and caves for Quartz rather than looking for a finished Glass pickup.
ENTITY // Battery
Craft one Battery at the Fabricator with two Ribbon Plants and one Copper Ore. Ribbon Plants come from the shallow Twisty Bridges caves; Acid Mushrooms are the original game's ingredient, not Below Zero's.
ENTITY // Ribbon Plant
Search the caves of Shallow Twisty Bridges for Ribbon Plants. They are harvestable flora used for Batteries, and Sea Monkeys can also provide them.
ENTITY // Uraninite Crystal
Search the Crystal Caves, Deep Lilypads Cave, Deep Purple Vents, and Tree Spires. Uraninite Crystals are seabed resources used to craft Reactor Rods.
ENTITY // Ion Cube
Check the Arctic Spires Cache and architect facilities such as Outpost Zero and Sanctuary Zero, then search the seabed in Deep Purple Vents, Deep Twisty Bridges, and Tree Spires.
ENTITY // Table Coral
Search the walls of Twisty Bridges and Twisty Bridges Caves first; Table Coral also grows in the Lily Pad Islands. Cut the disk-shaped coral with a Survival Knife or Thermoblade to get a Table Coral Sample.
ENTITY // Snow Stalker Fur
Use a Spy Pengling to interact with Snow Stalkers, or search the caves around Glacial Basin, Arctic Spires, and Blue Ice Caves. The fur is used for Cold Suit pieces.
ENTITY // Gold
Break Calaverite Outcrops and Rocks in routes such as Arctic Kelp Caves, Twisty Bridges Caves, and Thermal Spires. For larger quantities later, check the Koppa Mining Site or Deep Lilypads Cave; Sea Monkeys can also provide resources.
ENTITY // Lithium
Search the seabed in Purple Vents first, then use Thermal Spires, East Arctic, Tree Spires, and the deeper Crystal Caves routes as your Seatruck range improves. Sea Monkeys can also offer Lithium.
ENTITY // Plasteel Ingot
Craft one Plasteel Ingot at the Fabricator with one Titanium Ingot and two Lithium. The recipe appears after unlocking the Large Room, Seatruck, or a listed Seatruck module blueprint; you do not find finished Plasteel as a loose resource.
ENTITY // Enameled Glass
Unlock the Seatruck blueprint, then craft Enameled Glass at the Fabricator with one Glass, one Lead, and one Diamond. Do not search for a finished item or use the original game's Stalker Tooth recipe.
ENTITY // Ruby
Search the seabed in Crystal Caves, Deep Lilypads Cave, East Arctic, Lily Pads Crevice, Tree Spires, and Koppa Mining Site. Koppa Mining Site also has a Large Ruby Deposit for bulk gathering.
ENTITY // Polyaniline
Pick up a Flowering Spore in the Deep Lilypads Cave to unlock the Polyaniline blueprint, then craft it at the Fabricator with one Gold and one Hydrochloric Acid. It is not a loose mineral pickup.
ENTITY // Hydrochloric Acid
Pick up a Flowering Spore in the Deep Lilypads Cave to unlock the blueprint, then craft Hydrochloric Acid at the Fabricator with three Young Cotton Anemones and one Salt Deposit.
ENTITY // Young Cotton Anemone
Search the Deep Lilypads Cave for clusters of Young Cotton Anemone and pick the flowers by hand. Collect three when your goal is one Hydrochloric Acid.
ENTITY // Salt Deposit
Search the seabed in Twisty Bridges, Purple Vents, Deep Purple Vents, Arctic Kelp Caves, and Sparse Arctic. Salt can also come from Sea Monkeys or a Water Filtration Machine.
ENTITY // Synthetic Fibers
Unlock the blueprint by picking up the item at the Phi Excavation Site, opening the bow-wreck supply crate in Mercury II, harvesting a Spiral Plant, unlocking Seatruck Depth Upgrade MK2, or unlocking the Reinforced Dive Suit. Then craft Synthetic Fibers at the Fabricator with one Ruby and one Spiral Plant Clipping.
