Sonic Resonator
HarvestMaterialOverview
Industrial phased-array sound amplifier used in mining and other applications. Used as a crafting ingredient in Feedback Resonator, requiring 1 per craft at the Modification Station. This positions Sonic Resonator in the equipment progression, where crafted tools and gear expand the player's exploration range, survivability, and resource-gathering efficiency. The material tier is where Subnautica 2's crafting becomes strategic rather than opportunistic. Sonic Resonator cannot be stumbled upon during exploration — it must be deliberately produced from prerequisites, making inventory planning and base organization directly impact your progression speed.
