Subnautica 2 Seamoth (Tadpole) Unlock and 5 Upgrade Modules Guide

Detailed guide: Starting from the Lifepod, find the three Seamoth blueprint fragments by direction, and obtain Engine Efficiency, Depth Module, Collision Shield, Solar Charger, and Sonar Module, while collecting all Prawn Suit blueprints. Includes crafting and installation instructions.

  • Guide topic: Equipment unlock

Prerequisites

  • Scanner
  • Repair Tool
  • Seamoth (requires crafting first)
  • Depth Module (to dive deeper)

Identification and Corrections

  • In the input, 'Tadpole' refers to Seamoth; 'Well' should be Moonpool; 'Modification Center' should be Vehicle Upgrade Console.
  • 'Scout Swing Chassis' is likely a speech recognition error; actually refers to Seamoth upgrade modules or Prawn Suit parts. Here we keep the original text but suggest referencing in-game names.
  • Directions and distances are based on the Lifepod starting point.
