Crafting Tool

Crafting Planner

Choose what you want to make, then check the ingredient chain and route pages before spending rare materials.

Use this to plan the material chain, route links, and rare ingredients before converting stock.

How To Use The Crafting Planner

Start with the item you actually want to build, not the first ingredient you are missing. The planner is useful because many Subnautica 2 materials sit inside chains: one processed material can require another route, and a rare resource can be better saved for a later module.

Pick the recipe, open each linked material, then decide whether you are ready for a short gather, a planned vehicle trip, or a scouting run. If a material page warns that the route is advanced, do not turn the craft into a one-way swim.

Before Spending Rare Materials

  • Check whether the final craft unlocks a route you need now.
  • Keep raw stock flexible until the last step of the craft.
  • Re-check recipes after Early Access patches or hotfixes.
  • Use storage labels for raw materials, processed materials, and upgrade reserves.
