Pudding Urchin
MineRawOverview
An unlikely lifeform whose entire body plan resembles and indeed, tastes like, custard. Can be "cooked" in a fabricator to maximize nutrition. Eyeball Sponge deposits yield 1 per harvest using the breaking by hand. Used as a crafting ingredient in Urchin Pudding, requiring 2 per craft at the Fabricator. This positions Pudding Urchin in the equipment progression, where crafted tools and gear expand the player's exploration range, survivability, and resource-gathering efficiency. Raw minerals like Pudding Urchin fuel the entire crafting ecosystem in Subnautica 2. Every tool, vehicle component, and base module traces its material lineage back to raw resources gathered from the ocean floor. Prioritizing Pudding Urchin collection during routine exploration builds a reserve that smooths out the resource spikes of mid-game construction projects.
