Welcome to Subnautica, a singleplayer, first-person, sci-fi survival game where you crash-land on an alien ocean planet. Your goal is to explore the depths, manage your oxygen and hunger, and craft the tools and vehicles you need to survive and eventually escape. You'll start with just your escape pod and a fabricator, but soon you'll be building bases, piloting the Cyclops, and uncovering the planet's mysteries.
This guide will help you navigate the early game, covering essential crafting like fins and knives, finding vital resources like titanium from scrap metal, and understanding how to make batteries and repair your gear with a welder. We'll walk you through the steps to get your first vehicle, the Seamoth, and even prepare you for exploring the massive Aurora wreckage.
