In brief

The Recycler in Subnautica 2 is essential equipment for reducing your oxygen consumption. Discover the four locations of the blueprint fragments scattered around your survival pod, as well as the materials needed to craft it once the blueprint is unlocked.

In Subnautica 2, the recycler has the main purpose of reducing oxygen consumption. In this article, we'll list the different locations where you can retrieve the blueprints to unlock the crafting of the recycler. Note that you only need to scan one of them to obtain the complete blueprint, no need to scan all four.

The recycler blueprint locations

Fragment 1

  • Location: About 320 meters south-southeast of your survival pod.
  • Tip: While heading to this area, you'll pass near the Visitor Center. Look for a rock formation with several pillars, the fragment is located among the debris and crates surrounding it.

Fragment 2

  • Location: About 300 meters south-southwest of your survival pod.
  • Tip: This fragment is located in a well-camouflaged Bunker. Once inside, you'll be able to scan the recycler fragment there.

Fragment 3

  • Location: About 300 meters north-northwest of your survival pod.
  • Tip: The fragment is located in a spaceship that fell into the water. To access it, you need the sonic resonator, essential for destroying the spider webs blocking the entrance.

Fragment 4

  • Location: About 430 meters northeast of your survival pod.
  • Tip: The fragment can be found in a gigantic wreck. To enter the cargo hold, you need to swim underneath, but you'll also need the repair tool to open the door.

Materials needed for construction

Once the blueprint is unlocked, you'll need the following materials to build the recycler:

  • 2x Fiber Mesh: This material can be crafted from aquatic plants.
  • 1x Circuit Board: You can find it in various containers or craft it from electronic components.
