UNLOCK // PDA CASE FILE
Can't Unlock the Moonpool in Subnautica
The Moonpool is a two-fragment base module. If it is missing from the Habitat Builder, the problem is usually an incomplete scan set rather than a story gate.
LAST CHECK
ANSWER LOCK // QUICK RESPONSE
Scan two Moonpool fragments in wrecks or the Mushroom Forest. After the blueprint completes, build the Moonpool below water with the Habitat Builder; a powered base is needed to charge docked vehicles.
SIGNAL CONFIRMEDBLUEPRINT DIAGNOSTIC // WHY IT ISN'T UNLOCKING
The Moonpool has its own two-fragment scan set. Finding the right biome is not enough if the scan was interrupted or the fragment belongs to another base module.
