Subnautica 2 Blueprints

Fabricator is the primary crafting station, available from the start in your lifepod. It produces tools, equipment, first aid kits, and most survival items. The Fabricator handles the widest range of recipes and is the first station players interact with.

Habitat Builder constructs base modules, rooms, corridors, and structural components. Building a base requires the Habitat Builder tool and sufficient resources — each module has its own material requirements listed on its blueprint page.

Processor handles food preparation and biological processing. Raw fish and harvested plants are converted into cooked meals, cured food for long-term storage, and processed organic materials used in other crafting recipes.

Modification Station upgrades existing tools and equipment. Rather than crafting new items, it enhances what you already have — extending battery life, improving tool efficiency, or adding new capabilities to existing gear.

Vehicle Crafter produces vehicles and vehicle modules. This station is essential for deep exploration, as vehicles provide the speed, storage, and depth ratings needed to reach the most remote biomes.

Scanning is the primary unlock method. Use the Scanner tool on technology fragments found in wrecks, ruins, and scattered across the ocean floor. Some blueprints require scanning multiple fragments before they are fully unlocked — the fragment count is listed on each blueprint's detail page.

Default blueprints are available from the start of the game. These include basic survival tools, the Habitat Builder, and essential crafting recipes that players need immediately.

Pickup blueprints are unlocked by collecting specific items. When you pick up certain resources or materials for the first time, related crafting recipes are automatically added to your blueprint library.
