Subnautica 2 Crafting Recipes

How Crafting Works in Subnautica 2

Subnautica 2 uses three main crafting stations, each unlocked at different points in the game. Understanding which station makes what — and how to unlock each one — is essential for smooth progression.

The Fabricator is your starting point. You have one from the moment you land. It handles everything from food and water to basic tools, raw material processing, and intermediate components like Wiring Kits and Computer Chips. The majority of your early game runs through the Fabricator.

The Modification Station comes later, unlocked via fragments in deeper wrecks. This is where your gear gets serious — O2 tank upgrades, Depth Modules Mk.1 through Mk.3, and advanced tools like the Sonic Resonator and Feedback Resonator that gate story progress. You cannot build a Modification Station until you have the blueprint and the right materials including Diamond and Lithium.

The Vehicle Bay is a large base module that lets you build and upgrade the Seamoth and Prawn Suit. It requires three blueprint fragments found in 200m+ wrecks. The vehicles it produces are the main way you push into the lategame — without them, depth progression stalls.
