What to Do After Getting the Mobile Vehicle Bay in Subnautica

The Mobile Vehicle Bay turns vehicle blueprints into a real progression choice. Use it to decide which vehicle and depth route your current materials can support.

LAST CHECK

ANSWER LOCK // QUICK RESPONSE

Use the Mobile Vehicle Bay to build the Seamoth if its blueprint is complete; otherwise finish the Seamoth scans and gather the vehicle materials. Keep a Repair Tool, spare power, and a marked return route before taking the new vehicle deeper.

If the Seamoth is ready, use it for targeted wreck and resource runs. If it is not, return to the early wreck routes and complete the missing scans before widening the expedition radius.

03 // EXACT ANSWERExact answerFULL SPOILER
ACCESS LOCKED // OPEN TO REVEAL

Build the Seamoth when its three-fragment blueprint is complete, then use short, marked runs to gather upgrade materials and prepare for deeper biomes. The Cyclops and Prawn Suit are later choices, not mandatory immediate steps.

COMMON REASONS YOU ARE STUCK

  • Building the vehicle before checking its depth limit
  • Searching for a new vehicle when the Seamoth blueprint is incomplete
  • Taking an unupgraded vehicle into a deeper biome
  • Leaving without spare power or a return marker
