New Guides Nail Tadpole Build Steps and Depth Module Mk. I Location in Subnautica 2
Precise directions now remove guesswork for unlocking the Tadpole, then installing its first depth upgrade.
Overview
- Guides published Sunday lay out a clear path: scan three Tadpole fragments, grab the Room blueprint at the Old Habitat, then place a Moonpool with a Vehicle Fabricator to craft the sub.
- The Depth Module Mk. I datacard sits south‑southeast of the Alien Base at a 165° bearing in the Needler Nest cave by a crashed Tadpole, with coordinates listed as -200190, 450545, -29273.
- After unlocking the blueprint, players craft the Mk. I at a Modification Station using 3 Celestine, 2 Enameled Glass and 1 System Chip to raise the Tadpole’s crush depth from 250 m to 450 m.
- Modules do not stack, so installing extra copies will not extend dive limits, and the cave route requires care due to tight passages and Needler Mangoes.
- Destructoid also maps other upgrades near the Alien Ruins Research Outpost—such as Engine Efficiency, Strike Armor, Cavitation Muffler, Photovoltaic Charger and Haul Chassis—which must be found manually and open progress toward deeper mid‑game areas.
