I was two minutes from the surface when my oxygen alarm went red and the reef went silent. I could see the base lights like a promise out of reach, and I had no idea which recipe I’d forgotten. That panic is why I wrote this guide—so you don’t learn the hard way.
I’ve spent hours rummaging wrecks and reading threads on Steam and Reddit for Unknown Worlds Entertainment’s clues, and I’ll walk you through every recipe so you can make confident choices fast. You’ll get short, useful notes before each category, and the full tables below when you need the facts.
All Subnautica 2 Equipment Recipes
I’ve been out of oxygen more than once near a thermal vent—equipment choices decide whether you live or swim home slower.
Equipment increases your time and reach underwater. Use the tables to decide what to craft first: standard upgrades like the Rebreather and fins are cheap, while Ultra High Capacity Air Tanks require more hunting. The following table lists every equippable item and its recipe so you can plan runs like a technician, not a gambler.
| Name | Recipe |
|---|---|
| Rebreather | 2x Fiber Mesh 1x System Chip |
| Improved Fins | 1x Basic Fins 1x Fiber mesh 2x Conduit Crystal |
| Basic Fins | 2x Rubber 2x Fiber |
| Standard Air Tank | 2x Titanium 1x Rubber 2x Silver |
| High Capacity Air Tank | 1x Standard Air Tank 1x Plasteel Ingot |
| Ultra High Capacity Air Tank | 1x High Capacity Air Tank 3x Troilite 3x Atacamite |
How do I craft a High Capacity Air Tank?
Start with a Standard Air Tank (2x Titanium, 1x Rubber, 2x Silver), then use a Plasteel Ingot. If you don’t have a Processor, Steam community threads and Discord channels often point to good spawn zones for Lithium and Titanium.
All Subnautica 2 Tools Recipes
One careless swing at a mineral vein can mean a long swim home; tools save time and stops you from making the same mistake twice.
Tools are the workhorses of exploration: the Survival Multitool and Scanner are basic, the Repair Tool and Sonic Resonator are situational. Build what fits your next run and carry backups when you can.
| Name | Recipe |
|---|---|
| Survival Multitool | 3x Titanium |
| Flashlight | 2x Titanium 1x Quartz 1x Basic Battery |
| Scanner | 2x Titanium 2x Quartz 1x Basic Battery |
| Habitat Builder | 2x Titanium 1x Glass 1x Basic Battery 1x Copper Wire |
| Repair Tool | 1x Titanium Ingot 1x Wiring Kit 1x Basic Battery 1x Sulfur |
| Sonic Resonator | 1x Basic Battery 2x Titanium Ingot 2x Lead 1x Wiring Kit |
| Wakemaker | 1x Silver 1x Wiring Kit 1x Grease 1x Basic Battery |
| Air Bladder | 2x Titanium 1x Rubber |
All Subnautica 2 Basic Material Recipes
When I started, I treated raw materials like junk; later I learned which ones become doors or batteries and stopped wasting dives.
Basic Materials are the building blocks. Pay attention to where you farm Fibrous Pulp, Lucifer Rotsac or Metal Salvage—each run should afford at least one repeatable recipe.
| Name | Recipe |
|---|---|
| Mild Acid | 2x Acidic Raion Pouch 1x Copper |
| Salvaged Titanium | 1x Metal Salvage |
| Glass | 2x Quartz |
| Enameled Glass | 2x Titanium 1x Glass 1x Basic Battery 1x Copper Wire |
| Fiber | 2x Fibrous Pulp |
| Fiber Mesh | 2x Fiber 1x Strong Acid |
| Rubber | 2x Lucifer Rotsac |
| Grease | 1x Lucifer Rotsac |
Where can I find Conduit Crystal in Subnautica 2?
Conduit Crystal spawns in rocky caves and certain wreck sites—players often report reliable nodes on Steam discussion threads and in a few Reddit maps. Treat it like a rare node: mark it with a beacon and clear other goals before farming.
All Subnautica 2 Electronics Recipes
I’ve stopped mid-craft because I was missing a Wiring Kit; electronics are the little teeth that drive everything else.
Electronics chain into tools, power, and building components. If you use the Processor early, it saves time; otherwise check the Processor table below to see what to convert first.
| Name | Recipe |
|---|---|
| Basic Battery | 2x Copper 1x Acidic Raion Pouch |
| Advanced Battery | 1x Conduit Crystal 1x Strong Acid 1x Silver Ingot |
| Copper Wire | 2x Copper |
| Power Cell | 2x Battery 1x Strong Acid 1x Salt |
| Entangled Power Cell | 1x Conduit Crystal 1x Strong Acid 1x Gold Ingot 1x Troilite |
| Wiring Kit | 1x Silver 1x Copper Wire |
| Advanced Wiring Kit | 1x Wiring Kit 1x Gold 1x Sulfur |
| System Chip | 1x Wiring Kit 2x Quartz |
| Dedicated Core | 1x Advanced Wiring Kit 2x Quartz 1x Strong Acid |
All Subnautica 2 Food and Water Recipes
I once cooked the wrong fish and wasted two supplies; some recipes heal, some buff—know the difference before you set out.
Food and water are survival; certain combos give extra benefits. Use this table to plan what to bring for long trips or to restore health quick between fights.
| Name | Recipe |
|---|---|
| Sugar of Saturn (x2) | 1x Lead 1x Salt |
| Halfmoon Jerky (x2) | 2x Halfmoon 1x Salt |
| Threemoon Temaki (x3) | 1x Halfmoon 1x Harvestmoon 1x Bluemoon 1x Fibrous Pulp |
| Hoverthorn Souvlaki (x3) | 3x Hoverthorn 1x Salt |
| Cherimoya Chutney (x2) | 2x Cherimoya Rotsac 1x Sugar of Saturn |
| Pavlova | 1x Deepwing Egg Clump 1x Sugar of Saturn 1x Cherimoya Rotsac |
| Cooked Halfmoon | 1x Halfmoon |
| Oily Salad | 2x Fibrous Pulp |
| Cooked Harvetmoon | 1x Bluemoon |

| Nutrient Block | 1x Biofuel Block 1x Salt |
| Coral Mash | 3x Coral Shavings 1x Sugar of Saturn |
| Isotonic Water | 1x Flash Slug 1x Salt |
| Water | 1x Water Slug |
All Subnautica 2 Consumables Recipes
There’s a moment in every encounter where a distraction flare or first aid kit changes the math of survival.
Consumables are quick fixes. Carry a few basic and enhanced kits if you plan aggressive exploration, and craft flares for the big teeth.
| Name | Recipe |
|---|---|
| Basic First Aid Kit | 1x Fiber |
| Enhanced First Aid Kit | 1x Fiber 1x Medical Gel Sac |
| Distraction Flare (x3) | 1x Titanium 1x Quartz |
All Subnautica 2 Processor Recipes
I set up my Processor and my build speed doubled; converting raw ores to ingots is underrated.
The Processor lets you create ingots and several items that aren’t craftable by hand. If you plan to build a Moonpool or Power Storage, prioritize it—especially if you play on Steam and track updates from the developer, Unknown Worlds Entertainment.
| Name | Recipe |
|---|---|
| Titanium Ingot | 3x Titanium |
| Copper Ingot | 3x Copper |
| Silver Ingot | 3x Silver |
| Gold Ingot | 3x Gold |
| Germanium | 2x Silver or 2x Lead |
| Plasteel Ingot | 2x Titanium 1x Lithium |
| Mangalloy Ingot | 1x Titanium Ingot 1x Atacamite 1x Troilite |
| Strontium | 2x Celestine |
| Strong Acid | 2x Necrolei Cyst or 1x Sulfer 1x Gold |
| Biofuel Block | 5x Fibrous Pulp or 3x Pent or 2x Crab Feces |
| Glass | 2x Salt |
| Water | 3x Fibrous Pulp |
| Grease | 2x Halfmoon |
| First Aid | 1x Medical Gel Sac |
| Mild Acid | 2x Acidic Raion Pouch |
How do I use the Processor effectively?
Build it early if you want Plasteel, Titanium Ingots, or Mangalloy without endless mining. Use community tools and Excel or Google Sheets to track recipes and stock levels—players on Discord sometimes share compact spreadsheets that save hours.
All Subnautica 2 Building Recipes
I learned to plan my base like a small factory; one missing component can stop an entire wing from going up.
Habitat Builder recipes are below. If you want a Moonpool, Tailing Barrel, or Power Storage, check the ingredient list and chain your Processor work accordingly. Treat your build runs like logistics runs: gather a stack of ingots and wire before you place foundations.

Think of this guide like a compact field manual and a map stitched from seashells—use it while you gather materials, check Steam posts for spawn tips, and compare notes on Discord or Reddit. If you could change one recipe to make base life easier, which would it be?
