The Safe Shallows is more or less in the center of the map and the crater where the game takes place extends out to almost 2km in all directions. These are all fairly safe to explore but you will eventually want to find a way to travel faster and deeper underwater. The biomes around the Safe Shallows are the Kelp Forest and Grassy Plateaus. For now you’ll need to keep your distance until you’re able to craft a Radiation Suit. If you get too close to it you’ll start taking radiation damage. Your lifepod will spawn somewhere in the Safe Shallows but the exact location will be different every time. If you’re looking for the sequel check out the Subnautica: Below Zero walkthrough here. They may hold the key to getting off this planet. Mysterious structures can be seen dotted around the crater. You have all the building blocks, you just need to choose the layout and components.Īs you explore more you’ll discover something is not quite right on the planet. Once you’ve crafted a habitat builder you’ll be able to start constructing your own base. Eventually you’ll build more advanced stations so you can craft more complex items and even underwater vehicles. The lifepod is equipped with a fabricator that will let you craft most of the basic items, as long as you have the raw materials. You’ll explore vast underwater landscapes as you search for supplies and a way to get off the planet. After your ship, the Aurora, crash lands on the planet you’ll find yourself stranded on an ocean world with only a small lifepod.
