Titanium is one of the most important resources in the game, and as such is also one of the easiest to collect. There are dozens of different resources in Subnautica, many of which can only be found in certain Harvesting Nodes. Once you have crafted your scanner, begin collecting more titanium for a standard O 2 tank and survival knife. The scanner can be used to scan fragments, which will allow the player to unlock new blueprints, and to scan Flora, Fauna and Coral. Once you have collected the appropriate resources, use the fabricator to craft a battery, and then a scanner. While exploring keep an eye on your Oxygen meter, if it runs out you will have mere seconds to reach the surface before the screen fades to black and you die. Collect at least one of each resource, along with several Acid Mushrooms, which are used to craft batteries.

These can contain Copper Ore or Titanium, both of which are vital resources early onto the game. Begin your search by looking for Limestone Outcrops, they can be found on the floor and walls of several biomes, including the Safe Shallows. The easiest one to craft is the scanner, which requires one titanium and one battery.

At this point, it is important to begin collecting resources to build your basic equipment. There are two hatches on the lifepod, one on the top and one on the bottom, choose one of the hatches and use it to exit the lifepod. These can both eventually be repaired using the Repair Tool. Finally, you will see the Damaged Radio and damaged secondary systems. It is also used to craft several tools, the most vital ones being the Scanner, Repair Tool, Standard Oв‚‚ Tank Fins and the Survival Knife. Also inside the lifepod is the Fabricator, which is used to craft natural resources into other materials, including food and water sources. It is recommended to take a first aid kit so you have a way to heal if you are attacked by fauna. Also inside the lifepod is a Medical Kit Fabricator, which will automatically provide First Aid Kits for the player to use when they get injured. Along with these, there will be 2 Flares, which can be used to light up dark areas until a more reliable light source is found. These will serve as your food and water source until you can create your own. Inside the lifepod, there is a storage chest with a red top, inside the chest, you will find two Nutrient Blocks and 2 Filtered Waters. After the fire has been put out you will boot up your PDA, a tablet that will act as a databank, inventory, beacon and screenshot manager, as well as act as your virtual assistant for the duration of the playthrough, giving game hints and anecdotes. Aim the fire extinguisher at the base of the fires and use it to put the fires out until you can no longer see their bright red and orange glow. A fire has started in the lifepod, move towards the Fire Extinguisher on the ground, (see Key Bindings for game controls), and pick it up. This is when the player will gain control of Ryley. Following the cinematic sequence, the player will wake up, and after a short struggle to get out of the chair, will stand up.

It lands in the Safe Shallows, the first biome the player will enter. Following the ship's catastrophic hull failure and subsequent crash landing, he must find a way to escape from the water planet known as Planet 4546B, and discover the cause for the Aurora's crash.ДЄfter the Aurora's hull failure, Ryley enters Lifepod 5 and ejects the lifepod. You play as Ryley Robinson, the Non-Essential Systems Maintenance Chief aboard the Aurora, a spacecraft sent to the Ariadne Arm by the Alterra Corporation to build a phasegate.
