There are a lot of things that you can do when you first start "Subnautica," and it can be overwhelming trying to do everything all at once.
Knowing where to start and what to do first is not all that easy to figure out, especially for newcomers to the game. Fortunately, there are some things that you can keep in mind that will help you get a handle on things quicker.
This guide gives some tips and tricks that beginners should keep in mind in order to start "Subnautica" the best way they can with the limited knowledge they have. Additionally, this guide helps players out by giving a direction or objective to work towards at the early stages.
Recycle Dead Batteries
While "Subnautica" has a battery charger available, it's not going to be available for you until a little bit later in the game. This means that as long as you are using your technology, you'll run out of battery power sooner or later, according to The Gamer.
You should keep the empty batteries for now and use them whenever a battery is needed to craft something else. Even if it is empty, it will still be accepted as a valid ingredient, and the product will still be as if you used a fully charged battery.
Focus on Vehicle Building
The ocean in "Subnautica" is a lot bigger than it looks and you will be spending a lot of time traveling the depths throughout your playthroughs. It should be noted that your character does not swim as fast as you'd hoped they would.
This means that if you want to explore more of the seas, you need to take advantage of the Seaglide, which is one of the best items to boost your swimming speed. This helps you explore more and collect more valuable resources.
Prepare for Long Travels
Whenever you are planning to venture out into the depths, you should make a habit of packing as much as you can to be prepared for whatever may come your way.
Traveling light could be a death sentence as you may not be able to address certain issues along the way.
It is recommended to always carry at least one health pack and bottled water to keep yourself alive through your travels. You should also eat before you go to avoid spoiling any food you may bring, Game Rant said.
Always Collect Basic Materials
You will almost always be in need of basic materials in "Subnautica," so gathering whenever you can is recommended. These include small fish, bladderfish, metal salvage, and creepvine seeds.
You can then use the variety of items you have to craft food, water, and basic tools that will help you in the early game. Your Survival Knife can also be used to harvest different resources, such as creepvine samples and coral tubes.
Discover New Biomes Slowly
Try not to rush to discover the different kinds of biomes that are available in "Subnautica," as some areas can be more dangerous depending on how prepared you are. You can also create a compass to help you navigate the world.
You also have access to beacons that can help you mark important locations that are rich with resources as well as your home base, according to Airtel.
