Resource management emerges as one of the most essential skills in Subnautica 2's Survival Mode. To streamline this, building a well-placed Metal Farm is highly recommended. This contraption allows you to passively gather different resources automatically, which is far more efficient than manually hunting ores across various biomes. However, you must first unlock the Metal Farm blueprint. This guide provides detailed instructions on how to unlock and build a Metal Farm in Subnautica 2.
Where to Find the Metal Farm Blueprint
Before constructing a Metal Farm, you need to unlock its blueprint. Navigate to the Karakorum Metal Farm, a large Axum metal farming facility located southeast of the Karakorum Power Plant. This area contains vital resources for progression, including Troilite, Atacamite, and Axum Bacterial Cultures. The location houses many Metal Farm structures that you can scan to unlock the blueprint. Note that the area features a large multi-layered basin centered around a glowing green pool, with numerous Axum metal farms built around it. The Metal Farm sub-zone is about 2,100 meters east of the Lifepod, or 850 meters from the Alien Ruins marker. Ensure your submersible is upgraded before making the trip.
How to Craft a Metal Farm
After unlocking the blueprint, craft the Metal Farm using the Habitat Builder. It appears in the Cultivation tab and costs 1x Mangalloy Alloy and 1x Axum Bacterial Culture. Here's how to gather both materials:
Axum Bacterial Culture
Obtain Axum Bacterial Culture from round, organic growths near the glowing green pool in the Karakorum Metal Farm area.
Mangalloy Alloy
Manufacture Mangalloy Alloy using the Processor. It requires 1x Titanium Ingot, 1x Atacamite, and 1x Troilite. Each Titanium Ingot needs 3x Titanium. Atacamite is acquired from obsidian black deposits near the Alien Base, while Troilite is found around the glowing pool.
Once you have the required materials, construct the Metal Farm on a solid surface using the Habitat Builder. After placement, the Metal Farm will start extracting materials from the water. This is one of the most time-efficient investments you can make; set one up near your base to passively generate ores in Subnautica 2.
