I surfaced over an orange coral dome and my scanner stuttered against a torn hull. You feel that tug—opportunity mixed with a little panic. The Processor is a locked vault that keeps Titanium Ingots out of reach until you bring the right tools.
I’ve spent hours mapping wrecks and fiddling with Habitat Builder menus so you don’t have to guess which path actually saves time. You’ll get the exact steps, what to watch for, and why the Processor changes how you play. Read this the way you would a shop manual: small sections, clear steps, no filler.
On a workbench, a single device can multiply what you can build — How to Make Titanium Ingots in Subnautica 2: Step-by-Step Crafting Guide
Where do you find the Processor blueprint in Subnautica 2?
Short answer: scan the Processor inside the Cicada shipwreck southwest of your Lifepod. Walk me through it and you’ll be standing over the wreck in under five minutes if you keep your bearings.
- From the Lifepod, head southwest until you see a large orange coral dome. That’s your landmark.
- Move east and look for a steep drop-off; drop down and follow the slope to the ocean floor.
- You’ll find a broken habitat that registers as the Cicada shipwreck. Swim inside carefully—there are tight corridors and odd critters nearby.
- Equip your Scanner and hold the scan button when you’re close to the Processor module. The blueprint will be added to your database.
Pro tip: there’s another Processor in an abandoned habitat near the Alien Ruins to the far east. It offers the same scan, but it’s riskier because aggressive fauna patrols that area early on.
A simple control panel can redefine a base — Building and Using the Processor
Once you have the blueprint, the Processor appears in your Habitat Builder under Interior Facilities. You’ll need a small room with a hatch to place it. If you haven’t built a base yet, the Lifepod area is the fastest place to set up a one-room shell.
Crafting the Processor requires:
- 2 Titanium
- 1 Mild Acid
- 1 Copper Wire
Copper Wire is made from raw Copper; Mild Acid is made from acidic pouches plus Copper. Titanium is abundant on the seafloor—pick it up as you swim.
Power the room. The Processor drinks energy while running, so attach a couple of solar panels or a small reactor. When it’s active, left-click its control panel to open the crafting catalogue.
How many Titanium is needed for one Titanium Ingot?
One Titanium Ingot is made from 3 pieces of raw Titanium. The Processor also takes 30 seconds of processing time per ingot, and you can queue multiple ingots at once if you’ve gathered enough raw material.
The Processor is an alchemist’s furnace: feed it raw Titanium and it issues usable ingots for structure and tools. Unlike the Fabricator, the Processor handles multiple queued recipes, so batch your work and don’t babysit the console.

Raw Titanium is fine for basic gear, but many mid-game items demand ingots. Plan your harvest runs around what you want to build.
- Tadpole Dock — 2 Titanium Ingots, 1 Silver Ingot, 2 Copper Wire
- Vehicle Fabricator — 2 Titanium Ingots, 1 Copper Wire, 2 Glass
- Bioreactor — 2 Titanium Ingots, 2 Copper Ingots
- Sonic Resonator — 2 Titanium Ingots, 1 Basic Battery, 2 Lead, 1 Wiring Kit
- Repair Tool — 1 Titanium Ingot, 1 Wiring Kit, 1 Basic Battery, 1 Sulfur
You’ll often need Copper and Silver ingots as well. If you use Steam or the Unknown Worlds forums for tips, search community threads for efficient silver routes and copper-rich zones to speed up your runs.
You’ve got the map, the recipe, and a clear reason to build a Processor — will you set up a production line or keep salvaging raw Titanium one rock at a time?
