Why Depth Modules Matter

The ocean in Subnautica 2 is massive and deep. Without depth upgrades, your Seamoth and Prawn Suit will be crushed — and so will your diving suit at extreme depths.

Seamoth Depth Upgrades

Seamoth upgrades are installed in the vehicle upgrade console (built inside Vehicle Bay):

Getting Plasteel Ingots

Plasteel = 2× Titanium Ingot + 2× Lithium. Lithium is found in the Underwater Islands and Mountains biomes at 200–350m.

Getting Kyanite

Kyanite is a blue-purple crystal found only in the Inactive Lava Zone (700m+). You'll need a Depth Mk.2 upgrade to reach it — plan accordingly.
