Getting Started: The First 25 Days - Setting the Stage

Alright, guys, let's be real – the first 25 days in Subnautica can make or break your entire game. It's a critical period where you are basically trying to establish a foundation for long-term survival. You'll begin with the crash of the Aurora, stranded on an alien planet with limited supplies. Your main priority is to quickly secure your basic needs: food, water, and shelter. Immediately, you need to find some food source, and the easiest one is those peepers. Collect water and make sure you can stay hydrated. Focus on setting up a base, even a small one, is crucial. This gives you a safe haven and a place to store your precious resources. Don't underestimate the power of a simple base! It provides a safe haven from the dangers outside and a place to rest. You can start by building a basic habitat builder. Then you'll need a scanner, a storage container, and a fabricator. You'll want to prioritize your time for those basic items. Early on, explore the safe shallows thoroughly. There are plenty of resources for the beginner. Then, you can make an underwater breathing apparatus. This will let you explore for a much longer time. The better you manage the starting stages, the easier your journey through the next 75 days will be. You'll need to learn how to scan and craft technology. Scan fragments of items like the mobile vehicle bay, survival knife, and the habitat builder. As you begin to collect more data, you'll need to learn to be a better explorer. The game's world is teeming with resources, and each one holds its secrets. Remember the following things for those first 25 days: Establish a base. Learn to eat, drink, and breathe. Start to gather your resources. Begin to understand the crafting mechanics, and never get discouraged. Remember that, even in the darkest depths, there's always a way to survive.

Essential Early-Game Crafting

When you begin your adventure in Subnautica, you will need to start some crafting. Remember, early in the game, your inventory space is limited. So, crafting becomes a very important factor. The most essential tools you should craft immediately: the survival knife for defense and resource gathering, the fins for increased swimming speed, the oxygen tank and the underwater breathing apparatus, and the habitat builder. These will allow you to explore further and survive longer. Don't overlook the importance of the fabricator. It is your crafting central hub. You can craft everything from basic tools to advanced equipment here. Keep it stocked with the resources you need. You'll need to know which blueprints you want to find. As you explore the game's environment, you will come across various resource nodes. So, remember that to survive, you need to be prepared. So, make sure you know what to craft. Be prepared for exploration and defend yourself from threats. Learning how to craft is essential to surviving in Subnautica.

Days 26-50: Expansion and Exploration

Okay, so you've made it through the first 25 days. Congrats! Now it's time to level up your game. As you approach days 26 to 50, the focus shifts to expansion and exploration. Your first base is probably starting to feel a little cramped, right? Upgrade it, expand it! Consider adding a moonpool for your Seamoth, a vehicle upgrade console, and more storage. Resource gathering will become a key factor. You'll need more advanced resources like titanium, lead, and copper. This is when the Seamoth will become your best friend. This submersible vehicle expands your reach and allows you to explore deeper areas. But remember, the deeper you go, the more dangerous it gets! Explore wrecks and the underwater terrain and start scanning fragments of the Seamoth, the Prawn Suit, and the Cyclops. Now is the time to gather resources for advanced base components. A good base is more than just shelter; it's a strategic advantage. It can include indoor growbeds for food, water filtration machines, and power sources. You can also build water filtration machines to obtain drinkable water and a thermal power plant. Consider upgrading your Seamoth with the perimeter defense system. Make sure you avoid any creature attacks. This is your chance to really start to feel safe. Take time to research and understand new technologies and blueprints. Now, don't get reckless! The dangers of Subnautica are always lurking.

Vehicle Advancements: Seamoth and Beyond

Building vehicles is a very important part of the game. Your Seamoth is more than just a ride; it is your gateway to the deep. You must craft vehicle upgrades to improve your exploration capabilities. For instance, the Seamoth depth module is critical for exploring deeper zones. It's an investment, but it's essential. Make sure you get the sonar module. This allows you to navigate safely through the depths. Now, the Prawn Suit is your next big step. This mech suit is designed for even greater depths and can withstand more damage. Scan and craft the Prawn Suit to navigate dangerous areas. It will help you harvest resources in areas that the Seamoth can't reach. The Cyclops is the most advanced vehicle. It is a mobile base. Its large size provides a safe haven for exploration and research. Make sure you keep your vehicles in good repair. Always repair your vehicles. Remember to plan your routes to avoid dangerous predators. The vehicles are essential to your survival and exploration.

You will need to maintain your power systems and always have backup plans. Build a nuclear reactor. As you dive deeper, base management will become more critical. It is essential to ensure that your base has enough power. Consider a thermal reactor for constant energy and a bio reactor for emergencies. The better you become, the more you will understand what you need to do to survive. Your goal is to reach the Lava Zone. This is where you will find the final base. It is recommended to use the Cyclops to go to that area. The main challenge will be the dangerous creatures. Use the Prawn Suit to traverse this area. Be prepared to face any threat.
