Subnautica 2 Resource Guide

Find every resource in Subnautica 2 fast. Search by name, filter by biome or depth, and see exactly where to go and what you can build with it. No more aimless diving. Know what's down there before you leave your base.

The sequel takes place on an entirely new alien moon with fresh biomes and creatures that don't appear in the original games. Running on Unreal Engine 5, the environments are more detailed than ever. Which also means more materials to track. Whether you're gathering for a vehicle upgrade, a base expansion, or the new DNA modification system, this guide will tell you exactly where to look.

Resource Guide FAQ

How the Subnautica 2 resource guide works.

What is this Subnautica 2 resource guide?

A searchable database of every resource and material in Subnautica 2. Look up any item to find its spawn locations, the biomes and depths where it appears, and what recipes it's used in.

Can I search resources by biome?

Yes. You'll be able to filter by biome to see everything available in a specific area, so you can plan what to collect before heading out on a dive.

Does this show what each resource is used for?

Yes. Every resource entry will link to the recipes and blueprints it's a component of, so you can decide what's worth prioritizing during your run.

Can I filter by depth?

Yes. Resources will be filterable by depth range so you can see what's accessible with your current equipment and vehicles.

When will the resource data be available?

Full resource data with locations, depths, and biomes will be added shortly after Subnautica 2's early access launch in May 2026.
