A Practical Crafting Reference for Subnautica
This page is a quick-reference crafting guide for Subnautica. Instead of digging through in-game menus or scrolling through a wiki, you can use this page to check what an item needs at a glance. Everything is grouped by crafting device to match how the game is actually played.
This is not an exhaustive wiki or lore dump. It’s a practical consultation page — something you can pull up while playing to answer one simple question: what do I need to make this?
How to Search This Page
On desktop: use Ctrl + F (or Cmd + F on Mac) and type the item or ingredient you’re looking for.
On mobile: open your browser menu (usually the ⋮ or ••• icon) and select Find on page. Type the item or ingredient name to jump straight to it.
Scope and Exclusions
This page is a practical crafting reference for Subnautica (original game). It focuses on craftable items and their ingredient requirements, organised by crafting device.
Why This Page Exists
Most Subnautica guides focus on where to find resources. Fewer clearly show the exact material counts required to craft each item.
This page exists for quick consultation. When you’re mid-session and ready to build a Moonpool, Seamoth, or depth module, you don’t want to dig through menus or scroll through paragraphs of lore. You want a clear list that matches what the in-game PDA shows.
All recipes listed here reflect the in-game crafting interface, including exact material quantities.
- Excludes Subnautica: Below Zero content
- Excludes raw gathered resources (ores, plants, fauna)
- Includes decorative base pieces for completeness
- Excludes blueprint unlock locations, fragment counts, and lore
