Can't Find Magnetite in Subnautica

Magnetite is easy to miss because it is deeper than the early resource loop. Use the biome and depth clues before searching every rock.

LAST CHECK

ANSWER LOCK // QUICK RESPONSE

Search the Jellyshroom Caves and other deeper cave systems, not the Safe Shallows. Magnetite appears as small floor nodes and larger deposits in later areas.
