Subnautica 2 Resources Map
Plan crafting runs around the world map instead of swimming in circles. Use resource markers, biome depth, nearby landmarks, and route risk to decide what to gather before you leave base.
How to use the map for resources
Start with the item you need, then compare where it appears with your oxygen, tools, vehicle range, and the safest return route. This page does not maintain copied map data; it helps you use the live map more deliberately.
1
Check oxygen before distance
A nearby marker can still be risky if it sits below your current safe depth or forces a long return swim.
2
Match the resource to your tools
Confirm whether the material is a simple pickup, a harvestable plant, a scannable clue, or a node that needs upgraded gear.
3
Use vehicle range as the route limit
Plan around the Tadpole or your current movement options so a resource run does not become a rescue problem.
4
Anchor the route to landmarks
Compare markers with biomes, wrecks, thermal areas, plains, and other recognizable map features before diving.
5
Plan the return before the pickup
A good route groups several materials together while leaving enough oxygen, storage, and daylight for a safe return.
Common resource searches
Resource routes worth planning first
These are the resource intents that usually deserve a map check before you commit to a dive.
Rare nodes
For materials like silver, gold, and deeper upgrade ingredients, compare marker depth with your current gear.
Plants and growth materials
Harvestable resources are easier to miss mid-run, so check nearby biome clusters before leaving storage behind.
Upgrade materials
When a tool or vehicle upgrade stalls, use resource routes with fragment and biome checks instead of chasing one marker at a time.
Base building supplies
Before building, compare flat terrain with nearby construction materials so the base location saves time later.
Subnautica 2 resource map FAQ
Where is the Subnautica 2 resource map?
Open the world map from this page, then use resource-style markers and nearby biome context to plan a safer gathering route.
What crafting materials should I search for first?
Start with early oxygen, scanner, storage, repair, and base-building materials, then move toward rarer upgrade resources once your tools and vehicle range improve.
Can resource locations change during Early Access?
Yes. Subnautica 2 is still in Early Access, and future updates can adjust resources, biomes, tools, vehicles, and route safety.
How do I use the map without spoiling everything?
Search for the specific material you need, avoid browsing late-game categories, and use biome or depth filters only when you are ready to travel there.
