Subnautica 2 Modification Station: How to Unlock It

In Subnautica 2, the modification station is essential for upgrading both your tools and your vehicles, particularly the Tadpole. Let's find out how to unlock this station and use it.

The modification station blueprint

To unlock the modification station, you need to scan a specific blueprint. While several are available, we'll focus on the most accessible one. Head east about 1300 meters from your survival pod, and at that distance you'll find the alien ruins. The Research Station is located at a depth of around 140 meters, to the left of a large alien tower.

Tip

If you go too deep, use the space bar to quickly return to the surface.

Once you've reached the entrance to the Ruins, head right to find the Engine Efficiency upgrade, then continue through the main tunnel and turn right to discover the modification station. All that's left is to scan it to unlock its blueprint.

Using the modification station
