One idea is to get the Grav Trap running early, and just dropping it underneath the life pod. The Grav Trap never uses electricity, so it will automatically catch fish for you. Free food and water
@@holybleachbottle8318 Once you get the Scanner room operational, you'll find it is power-hungry. The nice part is you can put a Hatch on one side and a pair of Solar Panels on top. You can then use the Scanner room for basic storage and construction. The two Solar Panels will cover the Scanner Room's power demands when the sun is up, so you can find stuff nearby. Adding extra Solar Panels to store power for night-time scanning is a good idea. Each Solar Panel will need 2 Quartz, 2 Titanium, and 1 Copper
@@mir6165yeah it’s really rough and grindy to start. Hard to push ahead when I feel like I’m constantly going up for air and looking for stuff with no guidance.
@@DadGotGamezheres a tip: read EVERYTHING, usualy theres an assesment thing at the bottom of a creature entry. this will tell you if the item or an item the creature produces under specific conditions is useful for something
@@mir6165 thanks. Yeah I mean I’m plugging along making water and getting tools together, but grinding for resources isn’t so great thus far. I’m slowly figuring things out though.
I'm a total noob, just started this game, but discovered that a fire extinguisher can be used to move thru the water quickly. Just look down and use, you will rocket to the surface!
The floating airpump with pipes is one of my favorite items. I always place them outside of caves. That way I don't have to swim all the way back to the surface or pod.
I played about 30-45 minutes while watching the first bit of this video on repeat. I had batteries, knife, flippers, repair tool, scanner, O2 tank, two lockers and more coming. But I forgot to save 🤦♂️ and started a new game
I tried this game once and the complete freedom made me drop it. After some weeks I decided to give it a second try and I really thank your video and your amazing work for helping me to enjoy such a good game.
Thanks for the tips. I thought it worth mentioning especially if you don't have the battery charger.. Not only does the Power cell recharge. If you have a flat battery, take it out of the item, MAKE SURE ITS THE ONLY BATTERY YOU ARE CARRYING..! Then get 1 piece of titanium to construct a scanner tool.. the fabricator will then use the flat battery to construct it, charging the battery in the process.. Unload the battery from the scanner and chuck the scanner in a bin or overboard.. Costs 1 piece of titanium. :)
Also, if you need magnetide and lithium and you dont have the seamoth to dive deep, just swim or use the seaglider to get to the alien base thingy. Keep walking past it until you reach a trail that leads up. At the top you’ll find an entrance to a cave PACKED with diamond, magnetide, lithium, and gold. Keep exploring and going deep, I swear it never runs out of materials. On a side note, if you are swimming all the way over there, make sure to stay at the surface cuz it’s mad scary.
I've played the beginning a few times already but never longer than like 10h. Started again today and it's the first time I found the damn cave full with gold! I felt so stupid 😅 But I didn't see any lithium and diamonds...need them now for the laser cutter thingy. Maybe I should go back and check out the island again!
2 tips when you unlock it build the cyclops, despite it being costly to build and use it is a massive help in resource gathering. the other tip is make the important beacons/icons yellow, they are far more visible then something like red or blue.
I feel like red yellow and orange are all very visible. I use yellow for beacons, red for my vehicles, and orange for signals from story mode progress.
Still watching this with 20 hours in the game because I barely have progress and I am too afraid to go anywhere but the Aurora,Islands,Grassy Plateau,Safe Shallows and Kelp Forests I tried searching for the Mushroom Forests near the Blood Kelp Zone but stumbled near the Dunes,got the message and luckily noped out of there without seeing any Reapers Not proud of it but atleast I looted every resource in said areas and can manage
I’m new to the game, but I don’t think u should go to the aurora. No spoilers but you shouldn’t go to the front or rear of the aurora. It’s not really safe, I know from personal experience.
@@holybleachbottle8318 yep, there’s one at the very tip of the aurora (past where you’d need to go to enter the ship) and one or two right behind the engines of the ship too
Great guide! Looking forward to your later guides (hopefully) that explore the deeper parts of the water.. I’m almost 30hrs in and I’ve just dared to venture around 900m depth mark, this games atmosphere is so amazing and somewhat terrifying!
OMG! Thank you! I've been playing for a few days, but after watching this I was able to get farther in a couple of hours than I ever did the first go-round.
Your voice is so comforting and reassuring, I need you to make guides for every scary game 😅 Thank you very much for these guides, they're highly appreciated 😊
No joke 3 mins and i already learned shit thats actually useful. Found so many useless "tip" videos that just state the most obvious thanks for the video man
@Holy bleach bottle I'm kind of new at the game but if you get stuck looking for reefbacks, I would just swim along the surface of the water at least 200-500m from the lifepod, and occasionally dip below to see what's down there. It's usually after traveling like that for a while that I find an area with a lot of open space, not many creatures or plants and a few reefbacks.
I just started playing after I got the game for my nephew. I liked it so much I bought it for myself as well, and this is the best guide yet! The only thing missing is that you should at least mention food and water, even though you have it turned off in your game.
@@MetalGamer666 hey man I know it’s late but BZ is fun it’s less scary than the original a lot more of it takes place on land but if you don’t mind that I’d say pick it up. It’s not bad I prefer the first.
@@GranddaddyGamer what tips do you have abt getting drinking water early game. Ik that bladder fish give water but it’s hard to find ‘‘em and they aren’t very efficient sources.

Simple yet effective. I subscribulated. I carry extra tanks for when my seamoth is at max depth. Also, I can confirm wreck diving is dangerous. Been there, done that. Former navy diver. Also, a good tip is to find like a hole in the shallows to drop inventory into early in the game when you don't have lockers or a base. Just keep visiting the spot when you need resources.
Personally I avoid walkthroughs like these to enjoy the whole experience, but I can say this is a pretty damn good guide if you don’t wanna discover thing’s yourself.
This is one of those games to ya when I was little I’d say it’s a “big kid game” and now that I’m older… I still stand by that. This is a very confusing game for me 😂
Thanks for the help I started playing yesterday and put in some hours and was not scanning all the wrecks. The battery/power cell trick is a plus thanks. I also got to build the seaglid
Fun fact: you can stop the sunbeam from arriving for as long as you want, just don’t pick up your radio, I did this on accident on my first play through
Sorry im late but Subnautica runs off coordinates. When you start the game, your lifepod is jettisoned to a random place in the shallows. Zero point is point 0,0 on the map, and its useful to use as sort of a compass to get where you wanna go. You can’t use your lifepod as a starting place every time since its spawn is random, but zero point never moves.
Good straight forward advice! Went to give you a like and a sub because I liked your presentation but found I was already subbed from some other game you had helped me with in the past! So just a like this time. Sorry Bud!
This has been very helpful thank u i was going bonkers on survival mode on how to get blueprint learned how to survive tho alone😅 but it was driving me nuts i wasnt getting any blueprints so thank u thank u thank u
Want to hear a horrible thing? I didn’t know about metal salvage until like 12 hours of play time. Had no clue that you could get titanium from them. Feelsbadman
Just about to start my next minimalist Hardcore swim-only run. No Seaglide, Seamoth, Prawn Suit, and a Cyclops only to fabricate. Minimalist meaning only- one basic tubular compartment (2-x titanium), a hatch (2-x titanium, and 1-x quartz), a solar panel (2-x quartz, 2-x titanium, and 1-x copper), a thermal generator (5-x titanium, 2-x magnetite, and 1-x Aerogel), a bioreactor (3-x titanium, 1-x wiring kit, and 1-x lubricant), Fins (2-x silicon rubber), Standard O2 tank (3-x titanium), Rebreather (1-x wiring kit, and 1-x fiber mesh), Radiation suit (2-x fiber mesh, and 2-x lead), Reinforced diving suit (1-x synthetic fibers, 2-x diamonds, and 2-x titanium), a standard tool set (survival knife, flashlight, repair tool, scanner, habitat tool, and laser cutter), a Mobile Vehicle Bay to build the Cyclops and Rocket base (1-x titanium ingot, 1-x lubricant, and 1-x Power cell), and 2-x creature decoys (3-x titanium and 1-x wiring kit) one for the Inactive lava zone and the other for the Lava lakes (the risk of being OHK'd by the Sea Dragons is too great to not have them and there is no way I am going all that way to be immediately snapped out of existence). All fabrication will be done from the starting Lifepod, I will be navigating purely from sight and the PDA waypoints (no compass), and I won't be recharging any batteries. The idea being, I will start out from Lifepod 5, sprint swim to each location, build the basic habitat and power source suited to the area it is in to keep my O2 topped up, do what I need to do, take down the basic habitat (and power source), and move on to the next location. Food, water, fuel (for the bioreactor), and all crafting materials will be scavenged as I go. To date I have successfully completed several swim-only runs, with each one being more restrictive than the last. If, or rather when, I am successful with this one, I will then attempt a run minus the Fins, Standard O2 tank, Rebreather, Radiation suit (I will be packing all the First Aid kits I can carry), Reinforced diving suit (again I will be packing all the First Aid kits I can carry), and the Creature decoys. Tbh I am not even sure if this will be possible as I have spent minimal time in game without the Radiation and Reinforced diving suits, but I will give it a go. What's the worst that can happen?
Scrap that. I have just had the urge to do all of the above, but minus the thermal generator and bioreactor, replacing them with a series of Power transmitters (1-x gold, and 1-x titanium) from a single solar panel, which will need to stay in place capturing the sun's rays once I hit the bulb zone, and the Rebreather (negating the need to fabricate a High capacity O2 tank). I am also going to attempt to go without the Radiation suit and Reinforced diving suits (no point holding it off). In theory, if I survive that I could do without the Fins, and Standard O2 tank, but I've got to leave something for my next run.
For anyone insane enough to give this a go, here's a checklist I drew up. Subnautica minimalist Hardcore swim-only run checklist. [ ] - Basic tubular compartment (2-x titanium) [ ] - Hatch (2-x titanium, & 1-x quartz) [ ] - Solar panel (2-x titanium, 2-x quartz, & 1-x copper) [ ] - Thermal generator (5-x titanium, 2-x magnetite, & 1-x Aerogel) [ ] - Fins (2-x silicon rubber) [ ] - Standard O2 tank (3-x titanium) [ ] - Survival knife (1-x titanium, & 1-x silicone rubber) [ ] - Flashlight (1-x battery, & 1-x glass) [ ] - Scanner (1-x titanium, & 1-x battery) [ ] - Repair tool (1-x titanium, 1-x silicon rubber, & 1-x cave sulphur) [ ] - Habitat tool (1-x battery, 1-x wiring kit, & 1-x computer chip) [ ] - Laser cutter (1-x titanium, 1-x battery, 1-x cave sulphur, and 2-x diamonds) [ ] - Mobile Vehicle bay (1-x titanium ingot, 1-x lubricant, & 1-x power cell) * to craft the Cyclops & Rocket base [ ] - Power transmitters (1-x titanium, & 1-x gold for each one) [ ] - Creature decoys (3-x titanium, and 1-x wiring kit for two) [ ] - First Aid kits (1-x fibre mesh for each one) Note. I have not tried it yet, but I fear there may be too many sheer drops to make using only Power transmitters from the Solar panel a viable option, hence the inclusion of the Thermal generator. If you can do without it, more power to you. Well less actually, but you get what I mean. Step #01 Fabricate the Fins, Standard O2 tank, Survival knife, Repair tool, and 47-x First Aid kits. Step #02 Repair the Aurora, carrying only the Repair tool, Fins, and the maximum 47-x First Aid kits to swim at maximum speed by sticking to the surface. Step #03 Find and fabricate everything else. Step #04 Complete the run. Easier said than done. Good luck, and remember no matter what happens there is always the view.
Well it is 100% do-able. In order to be able to have enough space to fabricate 47-x First Aid kits you do need to also fabricate at least 2-x Storage boxes, but you probably won't need that many as I managed to repair the Aurora with just 20. I went right after it exploded, by which time I had the 47 in my inventory, and it was surprisingly a lot easier than I thought it would be, with the only real obstacle being traversing the crates to get to the Loading Bay (the 1454 door) as visibility was right down on the count of the constant radiation damage and low light levels in that part of the ship, so I ended up having to wing it over by continually running and jumping near the lowest small crates. I then pegged it to the Drive Core, made all the repairs, almost drowning in the process, and legged it out of there swimming away from the Aurora until I was taking no more radiation damage. I can see the main risk during this run will not be the Sea Dragons, it will be my impatience, as having a low and rapidly depleting O2 level makes drowning a massive risk once you hit the 100M mark if you are not prepared to take many baby steps to get to where you need to go, meaning progress is very slow and laborious (fabricating 47-x First Aid kits using only the Lifepod fabricator and First Aid station is an absolute ball-ache btw). I ended up drowning near Lifepod 6 looking for parts to scan for the Cutting Tool a mere 5M from the surface stupidly pushing my time under water to the absolute limit. Lesson learned? Probably not tbf, but I will give it another go when I get home from work later on today. One thing is for sure, the grind is going to hit hard with this run, but you know what they say, no pain no gain.
I'm a bit far on this game was kinda freaked out of diving games but killed a few monsters here and there ......, but stopped playing for about a year and now Im scared to venture out to far from my life pods lmao
Im not a begginer,but i havent played in a long time,im also really scared of this game and on my best game i reached having a seamoth,i dont remember alot so this helps
when the sunbeam was supposed to appear i was very far away from the island and i heard an explosion and when i came up there was fire in the sky i am going to try to find out where that island is soon to check what is on it Edit: found a infected fish and pda told me not to eat it so i will infact eat it Edit 2: i ate it

The floating airpump with pipes is one of my favorite items. I always place them outside of caves. That way I don't have to swim all the way back to the surface or pod.
for a begginer i also suggest making an air bladder or two for a bit of extra air and a way to get to the surface really fast
I played over a year ago and skipped the air bladder, but damn what a useful tool to have early on... really enjoying my second go at the game...

The game deleted my save from long ago now I’m trying to learn again after I had literally everything
My lifepod’s literally BESIDE the coral tube near the 0 point, guess im lucky :)
Lucky. That's my favorite place to spawn. Mines right by the kelp forests and I have 3 stalkers right by my stuff lol
Fun fact: you can stop the sunbeam from arriving for as long as you want, just don’t pick up your radio, I did this on accident on my first play through
Question, what is “zero point” I have no idea what you were talking about but it was very interesting mind you I’m playing on Nintendo switch not PC
Sorry im late but Subnautica runs off coordinates. When you start the game, your lifepod is jettisoned to a random place in the shallows. Zero point is point 0,0 on the map, and its useful to use as sort of a compass to get where you wanna go. You can’t use your lifepod as a starting place every time since its spawn is random, but zero point never moves.
Extremely helpful!❤🎉
I believe they updated the batteries so if U craft a power cell & a tool that uses a battery, it needs to start out charged.
Thank you for the videos. This really helped.
If you didnt name your zero point beacon "Nemo point."
You're doing it wrong!
Lol
Hello! Thank you for explanation it is very helpful because i just started the game. You earned sub from me!
Keep up good work and stay safe
Thank you so much
Thanks. Just got this on the summer sale on steam and needed a little help as there seems to be no tutorial in game.
Good straight forward advice! Went to give you a like and a sub because I liked your presentation but found I was already subbed from some other game you had helped me with in the past! So just a like this time. Sorry Bud!
I dont like night so I waited what felt like a half an hour until it was day and I could start the video again
This has been very helpful thank u i was going bonkers on survival mode on how to get blueprint learned how to survive tho alone😅 but it was driving me nuts i wasnt getting any blueprints so thank u thank u thank u
What about food and water? I realized I can just pick some of the small fish by hand, but where do I get drinking water?
Nice video very helpfull keep up the work
Want to hear a horrible thing? I didn’t know about metal salvage until like 12 hours of play time. Had no clue that you could get titanium from them. Feelsbadman
Lol I felt bad my self... I figured it 9 hours in
I think we can all agree this is a horror game. Especially once you get to the lost river and lava zones
Thanks man ive just started Subnautica and this video is really helpfull
Very informative and I have learned a lot. Great video
Grav trap with the shallows
Just go for it
Just about to start my next minimalist Hardcore swim-only run. No Seaglide, Seamoth, Prawn Suit, and a Cyclops only to fabricate. Minimalist meaning only- one basic tubular compartment (2-x titanium), a hatch (2-x titanium, and 1-x quartz), a solar panel (2-x quartz, 2-x titanium, and 1-x copper), a thermal generator (5-x titanium, 2-x magnetite, and 1-x Aerogel), a bioreactor (3-x titanium, 1-x wiring kit, and 1-x lubricant), Fins (2-x silicon rubber), Standard O2 tank (3-x titanium), Rebreather (1-x wiring kit, and 1-x fiber mesh), Radiation suit (2-x fiber mesh, and 2-x lead), Reinforced diving suit (1-x synthetic fibers, 2-x diamonds, and 2-x titanium), a standard tool set (survival knife, flashlight, repair tool, scanner, habitat tool, and laser cutter), a Mobile Vehicle Bay to build the Cyclops and Rocket base (1-x titanium ingot, 1-x lubricant, and 1-x Power cell), and 2-x creature decoys (3-x titanium and 1-x wiring kit) one for the Inactive lava zone and the other for the Lava lakes (the risk of being OHK'd by the Sea Dragons is too great to not have them and there is no way I am going all that way to be immediately snapped out of existence). All fabrication will be done from the starting Lifepod, I will be navigating purely from sight and the PDA waypoints (no compass), and I won't be recharging any batteries. The idea being, I will start out from Lifepod 5, sprint swim to each location, build the basic habitat and power source suited to the area it is in to keep my O2 topped up, do what I need to do, take down the basic habitat (and power source), and move on to the next location. Food, water, fuel (for the bioreactor), and all crafting materials will be scavenged as I go. To date I have successfully completed several swim-only runs, with each one being more restrictive than the last. If, or rather when, I am successful with this one, I will then attempt a run minus the Fins, Standard O2 tank, Rebreather, Radiation suit (I will be packing all the First Aid kits I can carry), Reinforced diving suit (again I will be packing all the First Aid kits I can carry), and the Creature decoys. Tbh I am not even sure if this will be possible as I have spent minimal time in game without the Radiation and Reinforced diving suits, but I will give it a go. What's the worst that can happen?
Scrap that. I have just had the urge to do all of the above, but minus the thermal generator and bioreactor, replacing them with a series of Power transmitters (1-x gold, and 1-x titanium) from a single solar panel, which will need to stay in place capturing the sun's rays once I hit the bulb zone, and the Rebreather (negating the need to fabricate a High capacity O2 tank). I am also going to attempt to go without the Radiation suit and Reinforced diving suits (no point holding it off). In theory, if I survive that I could do without the Fins, and Standard O2 tank, but I've got to leave something for my next run.
For anyone insane enough to give this a go, here's a checklist I drew up.
Subnautica minimalist Hardcore swim-only run checklist.
[ ] - Basic tubular compartment (2-x titanium)
[ ] - Hatch (2-x titanium, & 1-x quartz)
[ ] - Solar panel (2-x titanium, 2-x quartz, & 1-x copper)
[ ] - Thermal generator (5-x titanium, 2-x magnetite, & 1-x Aerogel)
[ ] - Fins (2-x silicon rubber)
[ ] - Standard O2 tank (3-x titanium)
[ ] - Survival knife (1-x titanium, & 1-x silicone rubber)
[ ] - Flashlight (1-x battery, & 1-x glass)
[ ] - Scanner (1-x titanium, & 1-x battery)
[ ] - Repair tool (1-x titanium, 1-x silicon rubber, & 1-x cave sulphur)
[ ] - Habitat tool (1-x battery, 1-x wiring kit, & 1-x computer chip)
[ ] - Laser cutter (1-x titanium, 1-x battery, 1-x cave sulphur, and 2-x diamonds)
[ ] - Mobile Vehicle bay (1-x titanium ingot, 1-x lubricant, & 1-x power cell) * to craft the Cyclops & Rocket base
[ ] - Power transmitters (1-x titanium, & 1-x gold for each one)
[ ] - Creature decoys (3-x titanium, and 1-x wiring kit for two)
[ ] - First Aid kits (1-x fibre mesh for each one)
Note. I have not tried it yet, but I fear there may be too many sheer drops to make using only Power transmitters from the Solar panel a viable option, hence the inclusion of the Thermal generator. If you can do without it, more power to you. Well less actually, but you get what I mean.
Step #01
Fabricate the Fins, Standard O2 tank, Survival knife, Repair tool, and 47-x First Aid kits.
Step #02
Repair the Aurora, carrying only the Repair tool, Fins, and the maximum 47-x First Aid kits to swim at maximum speed by sticking to the surface.
Step #03
Find and fabricate everything else.
Step #04
Complete the run. Easier said than done.
Good luck, and remember no matter what happens there is always the view.
Well it is 100% do-able. In order to be able to have enough space to fabricate 47-x First Aid kits you do need to also fabricate at least 2-x Storage boxes, but you probably won't need that many as I managed to repair the Aurora with just 20. I went right after it exploded, by which time I had the 47 in my inventory, and it was surprisingly a lot easier than I thought it would be, with the only real obstacle being traversing the crates to get to the Loading Bay (the 1454 door) as visibility was right down on the count of the constant radiation damage and low light levels in that part of the ship, so I ended up having to wing it over by continually running and jumping near the lowest small crates. I then pegged it to the Drive Core, made all the repairs, almost drowning in the process, and legged it out of there swimming away from the Aurora until I was taking no more radiation damage. I can see the main risk during this run will not be the Sea Dragons, it will be my impatience, as having a low and rapidly depleting O2 level makes drowning a massive risk once you hit the 100M mark if you are not prepared to take many baby steps to get to where you need to go, meaning progress is very slow and laborious (fabricating 47-x First Aid kits using only the Lifepod fabricator and First Aid station is an absolute ball-ache btw). I ended up drowning near Lifepod 6 looking for parts to scan for the Cutting Tool a mere 5M from the surface stupidly pushing my time under water to the absolute limit. Lesson learned? Probably not tbf, but I will give it another go when I get home from work later on today. One thing is for sure, the grind is going to hit hard with this run, but you know what they say, no pain no gain.
I'm a bit far on this game was kinda freaked out of diving games but killed a few monsters here and there ......, but stopped playing for about a year and now Im scared to venture out to far from my life pods lmao
Im not a begginer,but i havent played in a long time,im also really scared of this game and on my best game i reached having a seamoth,i dont remember alot so this helps
This helped a lot, i plauy this game and i bugged my story because i got the seamoth late, the cyclops early and the prawn suit very early
Thank you this really helped!
when the sunbeam was supposed to appear i was very far away from the island and i heard an explosion and when i came up there was fire in the sky i am going to try to find out where that island is soon to check what is on it
Edit: found a infected fish and pda told me not to eat it so i will infact eat it
Edit 2: i ate it
Thanks, i know this is a older game butit looks so interesting
It’s a great game tbh
I just started playing this today, thank you! This guide is awesome🥰
I use the under water lockers for the eggs 1 can hold 4 eggs I find way to much titanium
