MODULE 02 // RECORDVERIFIED
ENTITY // Nickel
Can't Find Nickel in Subnautica
Go to the Lost River and search the green river floor, walls, and branches for small Nickel Ore nodes. Large deposits need a drill-capable vehicle.
MODULE 03 // RECORDVERIFIED
ENTITY // Kyanite
Can't Find Kyanite in Subnautica
Search the Inactive Lava Zone and Active Lava Zone. Bring a Prawn Suit Drill Arm for the large deposits, though individual crystals can appear in the Lava Castle.
MODULE 04 // RECORDVERIFIED
ENTITY // Ruby
Can't Find Ruby in Subnautica
Search the Grand Reef, Deep Sparse Reef, and Lost River seabeds, especially around thermal vents. Ruby is not an early Safe Shallows resource.
MODULE 05 // RECORDVERIFIED
ENTITY // Gel Sack
Can't Find Gel Sacks in Subnautica
Check the underwater slopes of Mountain Island or the base of the giant Mushroom Tree in Northwestern Mushroom Forest. Pick up a sack, or use your knife to collect spores for a growbed.
MODULE 06 // RECORDVERIFIED
ENTITY // Lithium
Can't Find Lithium in Subnautica
Search Shale Outcrops and loose Lithium in the Deep Sparse Reef, especially around the area near Officer Keen's lifepod. Later biomes also contain large Lithium deposits.
MODULE 07 // RECORDVERIFIED
ENTITY // Crystalline Sulfur
Can't Find Crystalline Sulfur in Subnautica
Search the Lost River under the green brine, then the Inactive Lava Zone, Lava Castle, and Lava Lakes. Do not search shallow caves for Crystalline Sulfur; that is where Cave Sulfur belongs.
MODULE 08 // RECORDVERIFIED
ENTITY // Deep Shroom
Can't Find Deep Shrooms in Subnautica
Search the Blood Kelp Zones and their caves first. Deep Shrooms also grow in the Lost River and Sea Treader's Tunnel Caves; knife one to collect spores for a planter.
MODULE 09 // RECORDVERIFIED
ENTITY // Quartz
Can't Find Quartz in Subnautica
Search the Safe Shallows and Kelp Forest, including their caves, for Quartz on the seabed. The official resource page also lists it across later biomes and large deposits.
MODULE 10 // RECORDVERIFIED
ENTITY // Power Cell
Can't Find Power Cells in Subnautica
Craft a Power Cell at the Fabricator after you have crafted a Battery. Each Power Cell uses two Batteries and is mainly used to power vehicles; it is not found as a loose ore node.
MODULE 11 // RECORDVERIFIED
ENTITY // Copper
Can't Find Copper in Subnautica
Break Limestone Outcrops in the Safe Shallows, Kelp Forest, and nearby caves. Copper can also appear in large deposits later, but the early route is repeated Limestone Outcrop searches.
MODULE 12 // RECORDVERIFIED
ENTITY // Table Coral
Can't Find Table Coral in Subnautica
Look for the disk-shaped Table Coral attached to walls in the Safe Shallows, then cut it with the Survival Knife to receive a Table Coral Sample for the Computer Chip.
MODULE 13 // RECORDVERIFIED
ENTITY // Titanium Ingot
Can't Find Titanium Ingots in Subnautica
Collect ten Titanium, then craft one Titanium Ingot in the Fabricator. There is no separate wreck or biome where finished Titanium Ingots spawn, and an ingot cannot be converted back into individual Titanium pieces.
MODULE 14 // RECORDVERIFIED
ENTITY // Plasteel Ingot
Can't Find Plasteel Ingots in Subnautica
Complete the Seamoth, Prawn Suit, or Cyclops blueprint, then craft one Plasteel Ingot at the Fabricator with one Titanium Ingot and two Lithium. Do not search for a finished Plasteel deposit.
MODULE 15 // RECORDVERIFIED
ENTITY // Computer Chip
Can't Find Computer Chips in Subnautica
Craft one Computer Chip at the Fabricator with two Table Coral Samples, one Gold, and one Copper Wire. Cut attached Table Coral with a Survival Knife; do not search wrecks for a finished chip.
MODULE 16 // RECORDVERIFIED
ENTITY // Copper Wire
Can't Find Copper Wire in Subnautica
Craft one Copper Wire at the Fabricator with two Copper Ore. Search Limestone Outcrops for the ore, then process it before attempting Computer Chip, Compass, or other electronics recipes.
MODULE 17 // RECORDVERIFIED
ENTITY // Glass
Can't Find Glass in Subnautica
Craft one Glass at the Fabricator with two Quartz. Search caves and the seabed for Quartz, then use the finished Glass for base modules, vehicles, and Enameled Glass.
MODULE 18 // RECORDVERIFIED
ENTITY // Battery
Can't Find Batteries in Subnautica
Craft one Battery at the Fabricator with two Acid Mushrooms and one Copper Ore. The Battery Charger is optional later; it is not required to make the first battery or power early tools.
MODULE 19 // RECORDVERIFIED
ENTITY // Creepvine Seed Cluster
Can't Find Creepvine Seed Clusters in Subnautica
Search the Kelp Forest for tall Creepvines with glowing yellow seed clusters and pick the clusters by hand. Do not cut the stalk if you need seeds; cutting it gives Creepvine Samples instead.
MODULE 20 // RECORDVERIFIED
ENTITY // Silicone Rubber
Can't Find Silicone Rubber in Subnautica
Pick one Creepvine Seed Cluster in the Kelp Forest, then craft two Silicone Rubber at the Fabricator. A knife-cut Creepvine Sample is the wrong plant drop for this recipe.
MODULE 21 // RECORDVERIFIED
ENTITY // Lubricant
Can't Find Lubricant in Subnautica
Pick one Creepvine Seed Cluster from a Kelp Forest Creepvine and craft one Lubricant at the Fabricator. The finished Lubricant is not found in a wreck or on the seabed.
MODULE 22 // RECORDVERIFIED
ENTITY // Stalker Teeth
Can't Find Stalker Teeth in Subnautica
Take Metal Salvage to a Stalker in the Kelp Forest and let it pick the scrap up. Stalker Teeth can drop during that interaction; killing the Stalker does not produce them.
MODULE 23 // RECORDVERIFIED
ENTITY // Cave Sulfur
Can't Find Cave Sulfur in Subnautica
Search Sulfur Plants in Safe Shallows Caves or Kelp Forest Caves. Lure the Crashfish out, evade its explosion, then return to the plant and collect the Cave Sulfur.
MODULE 24 // RECORDVERIFIED
ENTITY // Aerogel
Can't Find Aerogel in Subnautica
Craft Aerogel at the Fabricator with one Gel Sack and one Ruby. Find the ingredients separately; there is no ordinary Aerogel deposit to pick up from the seabed.
MODULE 25 // RECORDVERIFIED
ENTITY // Salt Deposit
Can't Find Salt in Subnautica
Look for the small white cube-shaped Salt Deposits on the seabed in the Kelp Forest and Grassy Plateaus. Later sources include the Mountain Island, Crash Zone, Mushroom Forest, and Bulb Zone; a powered Water Filtration Machine can also produce salt as a byproduct.
MODULE 26 // RECORDVERIFIED
ENTITY // Enameled Glass
Can't Find Enameled Glass in Subnautica
Craft Enameled Glass at the Fabricator with Glass and a Stalker Tooth. Picking up a Stalker Tooth unlocks the recipe; acquiring the Cyclops or Observatory blueprint can also unlock it.
MODULE 27 // RECORDVERIFIED
ENTITY // Silver Ore
Can't Find Silver in Subnautica
Break Sandstone Outcrops in the Kelp Forest, Grassy Plateaus, and nearby cave routes. You can also harvest Silver Ore from Barnacles; it is not normally a loose seabed pickup in the early game.
MODULE 28 // RECORDVERIFIED
ENTITY // Gold
Can't Find Gold in Subnautica
Break Sandstone Outcrops and Shale Outcrops in the Kelp Forest, Grassy Plateaus, and other listed biomes. For later bulk gathering, look for Large Gold Deposits in the Jellyshroom Caves and Lost River.
MODULE 29 // RECORDVERIFIED
ENTITY // Lead
Can't Find Lead in Subnautica
Break Sandstone Outcrops in the Kelp Forest, Grassy Plateaus, Safe Shallows Caves, and other listed biomes. Later, Large Lead Deposits can provide more, but the early answer is repeated Sandstone searches.
MODULE 30 // RECORDVERIFIED
ENTITY // Titanium
Can't Find Titanium in Subnautica
Break Limestone Outcrops in the Safe Shallows, Kelp Forest, and nearby caves, or pick up Metal Salvage and recycle it at the Fabricator for four Titanium. Scanning a duplicate fragment can also award Titanium.
MODULE 31 // RECORDVERIFIED
ENTITY // Creepvine Sample
Can't Find Creepvine Samples in Subnautica
Take a Survival Knife to the tall Creepvine plants in the Kelp Forest and cut the stalk. The resulting Creepvine Sample is the material needed for Fiber Mesh; seed clusters are a different pickup.
MODULE 32 // RECORDVERIFIED
ENTITY // Fiber Mesh
Can't Find Fiber Mesh in Subnautica
Cut Creepvine with a Survival Knife to collect two Creepvine Samples, then craft one Fiber Mesh at the Fabricator. Do not search the seabed for a finished Fiber Mesh item.
