In brief

Atacamite is a rare ore in Subnautica 2 essential for crafting Mangalloy ingots, which are needed to repair the power plant turbine. Find out where to locate it in the Alien Ruins and how to harvest it efficiently with the right tools.

In Subnautica 2, Atacamite is a rare ore essential for crafting Mangalloy ingots (manganese iron ingots), which are needed to repair the damaged turbine in the alien power plant. Let's see how to harvest Atacamite.

What is Atacamite?

Atacamite is an ore that you can find in the depths of Subnautica 2. Known for its dark color and spiky shapes, Atacamite can only be harvested with a sonic resonator or a feedback resonator.

Where can you find Atacamite?

Atacamite is mainly collected in the Alien Ruins region. For a better harvest, start from the Alien Ruins, swim toward 110 degrees to a distance of 250 m from your base, and dive deep beneath the sea.

Note

Make sure you have installed the Depth Module on the Seatruck, so that you can move deep down toward the ocean floor.

What to do with Atacamite?

Atacamite is mainly used to make Mangalloy ingots (manganese iron ingots), which are needed to repair the turbine. This will require:

  • 10 units of Atacamite
  • 1x Titanium Ingot
  • 1x Troilite Ore

In addition to being used to make ingots, Atacamite is needed to build metal cultures, which boost resource harvesting.

Frequently asked questions

Where exactly can you find Atacamite in Subnautica 2?
Atacamite is mainly found in the Alien Ruins region. For better harvesting, start from the Alien Ruins, swim toward 110 degrees for 250 m from your base, then dive deep. Don't forget to install the Depth Module on your Seatruck to access the ocean floor.
Which tool should I use to harvest Atacamite?
You need to use a sonic resonator or a feedback resonator to harvest Atacamite. These specialized tools are essential since the ore cannot be extracted otherwise.
What exactly is Atacamite used for?
Atacamite is mainly used to craft Mangalloy ingots (10 units + 1 titanium ingot + 1 troilite ore), which are needed to repair the damaged turbine. It's also used to build metal cultures that improve resource harvesting.
How much Atacamite is needed to repair the turbine?
You need 10 units of Atacamite to create a Mangalloy ingot, which is then used to repair the alien power plant's turbine.

Key takeaways

  • Atacamite can only be harvested with a sonic resonator or a feedback resonator.
  • The Alien Ruins are the main Atacamite deposit to explore in depth.
  • 10 units of Atacamite are needed to create a Mangalloy ingot along with titanium and troilite.
  • Atacamite is also used to build metal cultures to optimize resource harvesting.
