Can't Find Batteries in Below Zero
Below Zero changes the early Battery recipe: use Ribbon Plants and Copper Ore, not the Acid Mushrooms from the original Subnautica. This is a common cross-game search trap.
LAST CHECK
ANSWER LOCK // QUICK RESPONSE
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.

Enter the Drop Pod, collect two Ribbon Plants in Shallow Twisty Bridges, and obtain one Copper Ore from a Limestone Outcrop. Craft the Battery in the Fabricator's Electronics tab; a Battery Charger is only needed later for recharging.
COMMON REASONS YOU ARE STUCK
- Using Acid Mushrooms from the original Subnautica recipe
- Searching for a loose Battery on the seabed
- Using Ribbon Plant Seed instead of the harvestable Ribbon Plant
