What A Metal Farm Should Do
A metal farm should solve a real problem: repeated trips for basic and mid-tier materials. It does not need to be a fancy exploit. It needs a safe route, clear storage, and a reason to repeat it.
Start with Titanium, Lead, Silver, and related early materials before chasing rare resources.
Build The Loop
Pick a route near base, place storage for raw materials, then run short gathering loops. Keep processed materials separate so you do not accidentally convert everything into ingots or advanced parts.
When To Upgrade The Farm
Once vehicle routes open, expand the farm to include deeper materials. Keep rare resources in labeled storage and avoid spending them until the upgrade chain is clear.
How To Use This Page
Use this page when a location, base system, code, or exploration route is blocking progress. These pages should clarify what belongs to Subnautica 2, what belongs to older games, and what preparation the route needs.
Use current in-game landmarks and official updates; legacy franchise wikis are useful only for older-game clarification.
Before You Act On This Guide
- Confirm the location belongs to Subnautica 2, not an older Subnautica game.
- Bring supplies for the return route, not only the destination.
- Separate scouting from farming or code hunting.
- Mark useful landmarks before entering a long structure or objective loop.
Stop following a guide if its location names, vehicles, or codes clearly belong to another Subnautica title.
