How to survive in the underwater world: 7 tips and tricks

If you are a new Subnautica player or have problems in the game, the following 7 tips and tricks will help you:

• Oxygen is important in Subnautica and scarce, especially at the beginning of the game. Therefore, you should not venture too far into the depths at the beginning. Look out for bubbles and purple brain corals. In addition to the bases and new suit updates, these give you a small buffer of oxygen.
• If you don't find fresh drinking water, just catch a bubble fish and eat it raw. The fish give you a little boost in drinking water. Alternatively, you can convert the bubble fish into a bottle of filtered water using the fabricator in the rescue capsule.
• Keep caught fish in your inventory as long as possible. Cooked specimens spoil very quickly, while salted and fresh ones do not and allow a permanent food supply.
• To begin with, you should use the fabricator in your escape pod to make a scanner. For this you need titanium and a battery (this can be made from two acid mushrooms and a piece of copper ore). With the scanner you can scan fragments, animals, plants and many other objects in the world. You will be rewarded with a lot of important information and elements to advance in the game.
• Pay attention to PDAs in the game world. These provide you with important information about the story and guide you in the right direction. The PDAs serve to continue the story and should therefore not be ignored.
• To begin with, don't build a large base, but smaller outposts near your escape pod or other structures. This means that you can store numerous materials and always have a place of retreat available in difficult situations.
• You need stalking teeth for enamelled glass in order to produce numerous building structures and companions such as the submarine Zyklop. Guide a stalker to metal scrap and this will then consume the scrap. After that, he is likely to drop one of his stalking teeth.
