Subnautica: All Crafting Recipes

Threre is a lot you can craft in Subnautica and it can get confusing.

There is a ton of stuff that you can craft in Subnautica. It can be everything from Basic Materials to Food to Electronics to Vehicles. With such a large spectrum for crafting and making new stuff, it can be extremely difficult to remember the recipes or even find them in the first place.

This Subnautica Crafting Guide will ensure that you know almost every recipe in the game. This will be your go-to place to look up how you can craft the next thing that you need for survival. We will cover everything from Bleach to a Battery, so just keep this guide open when you play the game and be assured that you will not run into any trouble on the crafting side of things.

You can also acquire these items from PC Console Commands. You can learn more about them by heading over to the link.

FYI

If you want to craft something that requires a Blueprint in Subnautica, you should make sure that you have scanned the relevant fragments to have that Blueprint.

Subnautica Fabricator Recipes

Since you will be using the Fabricator (like a crafting table) to craft most of the stuff you need, it is best to tell you how to craft a Fabricator first. To craft a Fabricator, you need to combine Titanium, Gold, and Table Coral Sample to form a Builder which will then turn into a Fabricator. After this, you can focus on using it to craft Food, tools, equipment, and machines.

All the following recipes you see will require you to use the Fabricator. You already know how to craft a Fabricator, so let’s go ahead and take a look at how to craft the items.

Remember that the Fabricator can also be used to cook Food. As long as you have a Raw Food sample with you, you can use the Fabricator to cook it. Alternatively, you can also cook the Food if you kill an animal using a Thermoblade. Using a Thermoblade will give you already cooked Food as long as you manage to harvest it off of the carcass. You will also be able to cure the Food if you have a salt deposit along with the Fabricator.

Modification Station Recipes

The Modification Station can be used to build a fair amount of stuff. It can be placed in any of your mobile bases so it is good to have that when on the move.

To craft a Modification Station, you will need a Computer Chip, Titanium, Diamond, Lead, and a Builder. You will eventually learn how to make a builder. For now, let’s take a look at what you can make with the modification station.

Habitat Builder Recipes

The Habitat Builder is an integral part of your arsenal. You can use it to build a plethora of different stuff. It is good because you can use it to build a Seamoth Modification System along with Solar Panels, making crafting quite a bit more varied and easier. To make a Habitat Builder, you will need Wiring Kit, Computer Chip, Fabricator and a Battery. Once you have built a Habitat Builder, you can go ahead and use these recipes:
