  "textContent": "Crafting in Subnautica 2 spans hundreds of recipes split across the Fabricator, Processor, Habitat Builder, and Vehicle Fabricator. Knowing exact ingredient costs before you dive saves trips back to base and prevents wasted oxygen on the wrong resource node.\n\n🧪\n\nMost recipes require scanning fragments first. Build the Scanner early (2x Titanium, 2x Quartz, 1x Basic Battery) and prioritize colony wreckage to unlock blueprints.\n\nImage credit: __Unknown Worlds Entertainment (via YouTube/@(ItsShatter)__\n\n* * *\n\n### Basic materials\n\nThese intermediate components feed almost every other recipe. Fiber Mesh, Rubber, and Glass are the bottlenecks for most early progression.\n\nItem| Ingredients\n---|---\nMild Acid| 2x Acidic Raion Pouch, 1x Copper\nSalvaged Titanium| 1x Metal Salvage\nGlass| 2x Quartz\nEnameled Glass| 1x Glass, 1x Creature Enamel\nFiber| 2x Fibrous Pulp\nFiber Mesh| 2x Fiber, 1x Strong Acid\nRubber| 2x Lucifer Rotsac\nGrease| 1x Lucifer Rotsac\n\n* * *\n\n### Tools\n\nTools gate progression more than any other category. The Survival Multitool is the prerequisite for harvesting plant-based resources, and the Sonic Resonator is required to crack large mineral nodes, including Troilite.\n\nTool| Ingredients\n---|---\nSurvival Multitool| 3x Titanium\nFlashlight| 2x Titanium, 1x Quartz, 1x Basic Battery\nScanner| 2x Titanium, 2x Quartz, 1x Basic Battery\nHabitat Builder| 2x Titanium, 1x Glass, 1x Basic Battery, 1x Copper Wire\nRepair Tool| 1x Titanium Ingot, 1x Wiring Kit, 1x Basic Battery, 1x Sulfur\nSonic Resonator| 1x Basic Battery, 2x Titanium Ingot, 2x Lead, 1x Wiring Kit\nWakemaker| 1x Silver, 1x Wiring Kit, 1x Grease, 1x Basic Battery\nAir Bladder| 2x Titanium, 1x Rubber\nThe Sonic Resonator is required to crack large mineral nodes | Image credit: __Unknown Worlds Entertainment (via YouTube/@(ZaFrostPet)__\n\n* * *\n\n### Equipment and oxygen tanks\n\nAir tanks chain into each other, so don't recycle older versions until the upgrade is built. The Ultra High Capacity Air Tank consumes a complete High Capacity Air Tank plus deep-zone minerals.\n\nEquipment| Ingredients\n---|---\nRebreather| 2x Fiber Mesh, 1x System Chip\nBasic Fins| 2x Rubber, 2x Fiber\nImproved Fins| 1x Basic Fins, 1x Fiber Mesh, 2x Conduit Crystal\nStandard Air Tank| 2x Titanium, 1x Rubber, 2x Silver\nHigh Capacity Air Tank| 1x Standard Air Tank, 1x Plasteel Ingot\nUltra High Capacity Air Tank| 1x High Capacity Air Tank, 3x Troilite, 3x Atacamite\n\n* * *\n\n### Electronics\n\nWiring Kits and System Chips appear in nearly every advanced recipe.
