Subnautica Guide: Diamond

Getting started with Subnautica can be overwhelming, especially without a map to guide you through the vast underwater world. However, using the PDA waypoint customization and artificial landmarks can help certain points stand out, making navigation easier. Instead of setting beacons, players can plant exterior growbeds with bioluminescent creepvine or manufacture additional beacons to create new waypoints.

The game's unique wayfinding system uses a compass-bearing and depth indicator that superimposes your current location on the screen. This approach provides an immersive experience, allowing you to discover things on your own without relying on a map. Unfortunately, this limited visual range can sometimes make orientation challenging, especially when underwater.

Subnautica's game world is fixed, meaning there are no procedurally generated worlds or randomized locations. Some useful guides can be found in the Subnautica guide database on Steam to help you get started and overcome obstacles.

In this guide, we will provide tips and tricks for navigating the world of Subnautica and finding valuable resources such as diamonds. By following these steps, you'll be able to explore the ocean floor and uncover its secrets.

Step 1: Get Familiar with Your Environment

Before starting your journey, make sure you have a good understanding of your surroundings. Take some time to explore your Drop Pod and collect any Metal Salvage or other items nearby. You can return to your Seatruck when you're ready to continue.

Step 2: Find the First Fragment

Head through the hole in front of you and look directly ahead. You'll see a fragment that you can scan inside. Cut open the sealed door with your Laser Cutter and proceed across the hallway to the adjacent room.

Step 3: Locate the Mercury II Wreck

If you're having trouble finding the Mercury II wreck, visit the How To Find the Mercury II Wreck page for more information. You'll find a hole at the bottom and back of the wreck that's perfect for parking your Seatruck.

Step 4: Reach Delta Station Dock

From Delta Station Dock, head two clicks right of South to continue your journey. If you're having trouble finding the dock, visit the Finding Delta Base page for more information.

By following these steps and using the tips provided in this guide, you'll be well on your way to navigating the world of Subnautica and finding valuable resources like diamonds. Good luck, and watch out for Leviathans!
