About Subnautica:

Subnautica is an open world, underwater exploration and adventure game currently under construction at Unknown Worlds. The game is in advanced stage of Early Access development, with substantial content available for play. Performance/frame-rates, stability, and polish are not yet up to the standards of a finished game.

Dive Into a Vast Underwater World

You have crash-landed on alien ocean world, and the only way to go is down. Subnautica's oceans range from sun drenched shallow coral reefs to treacherous deep-sea trenches, lava fields, and bio-luminescent underwater rivers. Manage your oxygen supply as you explore kelp forests, plateaus, reefs, and winding cave systems. The water teems with life: Some of it helpful, much of it harmful.

Scavenge, Craft, and Survive

After crash landing in your Life Pod, the clock is ticking to find water, food, and to develop the equipment you need to explore. Collect resources from the ocean around you. Craft knives, lights, diving gear, and personal water craft. Venture deeper and further form to find rarer resources, allowing you to craft more advanced items.

Construct Underwater Habitats

Build bases on the sea floor. Choose layouts and components, and manage hull-integrity as depth and pressure increase. Use your base to store resources, park vehicles, and replenish oxygen supplies as you explore the vast ocean.

Unravel the Mystery

What happened to this planet? Signs abound that something is not right. What caused you to crash? What is infecting the sea life? Who built the mysterious structures scattered around the ocean? Can you find a way to make it off the planet alive?

Disrupt the Food Chain

The ocean teems with life: Use the ecosystem to help you. Lure and distract a threatening creature with a fresh fish, or simply swim as fast as you can to avoid gnashing jaws of roaming predators.

Handle the Pressure

Build a Pressure Re-Active Waterproof Nanosuit, or PRAWN Suit, and explore extreme depth and heat. Modify the suit with mining drills, torpedo launchers, propulsion cannons, grappling hooks and more.

Fear the Night

As the sun goes down, the predators come out. The ocean is unforgiving of those caught unprepared in the darkness. Areas that are safe to explore during the day become treacherous at night, but also reveal a beauty that those who hide from the darkness will never see.

Dive Below the Ocean Floor

Cave systems wind below the sea bed, from dark claustrophobic passages to caverns lit by bio-luminescent life and burning-hot lava flows. Explore the world below the ocean floor, but watch your oxygen levels, and take care to avoid the threats lurking in the darkness.

A stalker followed me home and I named him Charles. Also, I'm getting Subnautica tommorrow.

[xxxkavish]

Who is here for the play at home 2021?

Subnautica is free

[BozoEngland]

I think the best tip for beginners is to grab every Bladder Fish you can find. You can eat then or make water from them. I set my first base up near a patch where they constantly seemed to spawn and it really did make my aquatic life much much easier!

[SaneNoMore]

My tip: when looting all the goodies around the Aurora, don’t go directly behind the engines. Bad, bad things happen.

[NameHierEinfuegen]

One tip that might come in handy when you reach the point where you need to build power cells: Use empty batteries to craft those power cells. They will come out of the fabricator with 100% charge anyway.

[ninjaslash_]

I love the progression in this game you start out being able to dive for a couple seconds then half a minute and so on going deeper into the ocean and to farther places

[apathyguy]

Early in the game fire extinguishers are cheap and easy to get. Getting chased? Just point it at the fish attacking you and you will be propelled away from them very quickly. Easy way to get away from the blast zone of those damn crash fish. They also push you to the surface far faster than the air bladder.

[wkscomputers]

When you use your battery to recharge something, you are left with a dead battery. This can be used to craft something and it will still be full power. Very useful

[nikitaplotnikov]

I'm so scared of this game... I can't even get out at night I just sit and wait it out lmao

[RaiderAvian]

You forgot to SAVE before risking somehting or use as a from of check point or point you could turn back from incase you die.
Believe me, SAVE files are much beter than respawns.

[mattg]

One thing that took a while before it occurred to me was if you craft a second air tank, you can equip it while underwater. Gives you more time before having to surface or go back to a some other air source. May save you when deep in a cave and you get the 30 seconds left warning. At this point I have two of the upgraded tanks, which is great. Oh, and remember that the tank you are not wearing does not refill with air when you surface, you need to swap it out and wear it so the O2 level will fill again.

[elmateo]

One thing I wish I'd realized sooner: The gel sacs are plants, you can grow them in outdoor grow beds. You can also harvest the red blood pod things and plant them to grow more blood pod vines.
Also, build a base as soon as you get the base builder. You don't need any of the actual rooms, you can just build the + shaped tunnel with a hatch. Then put a bunch of storage lockers in it. This will let you keep all the resources you harvest, as you will need them later.

[novocode]

Three beginner tips from me. First, get a base going in the red grass biome, specifically over some caves that you'll find later in the story. The location is fairly good with the second tip for collecting necessary resources. Second tip, find a scanner room and build 1+. A scanner room plus the HUD chip will allow you to find all of the resources you need, really easily. And don't be afraid to build more than one. Just might need to space them out some. Last tip, red grass biome is good for salt, use the salt to make bleach and the water from that bleach. It is WAY better than the other water you find from fish. It isn't the BEST water overall, but with a good supply of salt, it will help with early game.

[jackmeriustacktheritrix]

I forget what it's called exactly, but once you can build the modification station the survival knife heat blade upgrade is invaluable, it allows you to instantly cook edible fish when you cut them with it, this saves you from having to carry cured food on long journeys as you can simply kill and cook nearby fish when you get hungry. I still recommend carrying one piece of non spoiling food though, just in case you're exploring somewhere without a nearby food source available.

[Spectre]

Although your propulsion gun sucks power like crazy, you can pick up brain coral and move it to where you need oxygen, like in a big wreck.

[mambodin]

Just put the live fish in the storage and cook them when you need it. The fishes won't die in the storage! HA!

[hirosasaki]

actually i knew about the island becasue my game bugged and shot me into outer space and i saw it, yeah, kinda cool

[aarenmitts]

I like how casually you are just swimming around the stalkers. When I started I saw one of them I ran like a bitch

[auto.]

If you’re having trouble finding the islands, a pro tip is to stand on your life pod and use the PDA while looking at the horizon. The normal clouds will be normal, but the obscuring island fog will glow, a dead giveaway that something is hidden.
I’m not certain if this is a bug or if the developers intended it to be this way, but I guarantee you it works because they haven’t removed it after all these years, so it’s probably intentional, but it’s not well known.

[toddestabrook]

In the future, not spoiling the game when giving beginner tips would be the way to go.
