Subnautica 2 How to Craft Items — Crafting Stations & Blueprints

How to Craft Items

Crafting follows a simple 3-step loop

1. Unlock blueprint — scan fragments, pick up materials, find Data Cards
2. Gather materials — collect every ingredient
3. Craft at right station — each item tied to a specific station

How to Unlock Blueprints

Scan fragments to unlock blueprints

• Scanning Fragments — most equipment blueprints require scanning multiple fragments
• Picking Up New Materials — some blueprints unlock when you collect a new material

First Aid Kit and Fiber Mesh unlocked automatically

• Finding Recipe Data Cards — found in wrecks, instantly unlock corresponding blueprint

The Bottom Line: How to Craft Items — Crafting Stations & Blueprints is one of those crafts that looks simple on paper but becomes a bottleneck if you don’t plan ahead. I’ve been in the situation where I needed one more and had to swim back across three biomes to get it. Build extras. Store them in a locker. Future you — the one who’s 200 meters deep with a Leviathan on your tail — will be very grateful.
