OVERVIEW

Understanding Starter Seabase

An early habitat offering storage, power, air and Fabricator access near familiar terrain.

This is an original reference for the first Subnautica. Your current depth rating, oxygen, available tools and navigation route determine when an objective is practical. Follow actual in-game PDA and Fabricator information for any values that vary by version.

PRACTICAL APPROACH

How to use this information

Keep it compact, place near routes to several useful biomes and supply a renewable power method.

COMMON MISTAKES

What to avoid

A giant base without sustainable power or reinforcement can be harder to use than a small one.
