Video watch notes
What to pause, compare, and write down
Do not watch the video like entertainment only. Use these notes as a second-screen checklist: pause on landmarks, confirm the player action, then return to the written route.
Watchlist
Pause on Room blueprint menu and identify the landmark, depth band, or objective state before following the next step.
Use Databox room to confirm what changed; if the video only shows a close-up, rebuild the route from the previous landmark.
Treat Final blueprint check as the exit rule: finish the objective, return, and update storage or crafting before adding side goals.
Room blueprint menu
Room unlocks should be checked against what the base actually needs next.
Action: Check the room blueprint menu so you know what is missing.
Databox room
Tie each room databox to a recognizable interior or exterior checkpoint.

Final blueprint check
After the final scan, return to base and convert the unlock into usable layout space.
Action: Confirm the room unlock before pushing deeper.

Route decision lab
Decide if this route is worth running now
This section turns the video into a practical in-game decision. Use it before leaving base, after the first landmark, and again before entering a deeper or darker area.
Route purpose
Room blueprints matter when your base needs more usable layout space. Find the databox, confirm the unlock, return to base, and build only the room that solves your storage, crafting, or lab problem.
Visual checkpoint
Room unlocks should be checked against what the base actually needs next.
Map anchor
Room Blueprint Databox Route in Room databox route. Use it for use this when the base needs functional room space rather than more hallway pieces.
Abort rule

Field manual translation
Room blueprints matter when your base needs more usable layout space. Find the databox, confirm the unlock, return to base, and build only the room that solves your storage, crafting, or lab problem. Use this completion route manual as a second-screen checklist: identify the entry condition, confirm the objective with a visual proof point, then stop when the return rule is met. This keeps the article practical for Early Access patches without pretending every coordinate or state is final.

Patch-safe reading
Exact item positions can shift during Early Access. The useful part of this page is the route logic: what to prepare, what visual cue to confirm, what objective to finish, and when to turn back.

What this guide covers
Requirements
- Databox route
- Base power
- Build materials
Use this if
You want a route you can follow from video evidence without needing exact official coordinates. The screenshots and steps are written to help you recognize areas, landmarks, and decisions while playing.
Early Access can move details. Treat this as a video-based walkthrough and verify landmarks in your own build.

Use this step as a route checkpoint, not as a promise that every object spawns in one exact coordinate. Match the landmark, compare the screenshot, then continue only if the return path is still clear.
If your game build looks different, stay with the same decision: keep oxygen safe, scan or collect the current blocker, and return before pushing into the next unknown area.

Detailed notes
Rooms are workflow modules
A room should solve a base problem: crafting flow, storage volume, scanner access, biolab work, or vehicle support. More space is only useful when it improves a repeated action.
How to use this in-game
Turn this note into one action before leaving base: decide the objective, keep only the materials or tools that support it, then stop the route once the scan, pickup, or landmark is confirmed. This keeps the guide useful even when Early Access patches move small details.
Databox tracking
Record the room, databox, landmark, and route risk. That makes the guide useful even if exact Early Access positions shift.

Do not extend the route just because the room unlock succeeded. Return, build, and decide whether the new layout changes your next objective.

Practical field read
Room Blueprint Location Guide works best when you treat it as a completion route with a narrow job. Start with the loadout check: Databox route. Then follow the first action without adding side goals: Check the room blueprint menu so you know what is missing.. The page should help you recognize the scan, pickup, or checklist state that proves progress before you risk a longer dive. If the route starts producing unrelated discoveries, bank the note and return to the original objective instead of turning one guide into a full map sweep.

How to turn this into the next dive
After the first proof point, decide whether the route is solved, blocked, or worth repeating. Follow a databox route tied to a visible landmark or structure.. If it is solved, return and convert the result into crafting, storage, a map note, or the next related guide. If it is blocked, change only one variable: bring the missing tool, clear inventory, enter from a cleaner landmark, or wait for better oxygen and vehicle support. Confirm the room unlock before pushing deeper.. Avoid the two habits that make this route feel unreliable: Unlocking a room without planning where it fits.; Building more space before power and storage are solved..

Video route notes
Room Blueprint Location Guide should be followed as a completion route, not as a memory test. Start by watching the first route movement and naming the entry condition before copying the path in-game. Check the room blueprint menu so you know what is missing. Then pause again when the video reaches the first visible proof point, because that is where the guide changes from general advice into an action you can repeat. Follow a databox route tied to a visible landmark or structure. If the route starts to feel different in your build, keep the same player goal: finish the unlock cleanly and know whether a return trip is needed.

Screenshot checkpoints
Use screenshots as checkpoints instead of decoration. The first image should answer where the route begins, the second should show what confirms progress, and the third should explain what to do after the scan, pickup, puzzle state, or threat read is visible. Confirm the room unlock before pushing deeper. This is especially important in Early Access because exact positions can drift while landmarks, depth bands, room states, and player decisions stay useful. A good screenshot lets you say, "I am at the right kind of place," before you risk oxygen, storage space, or vehicle safety.
Entry frame: match the landmark before moving deeper

Stop rule and next dive
The most useful part of this page is the stop rule. Unlocking a room without planning where it fits. Building more space before power and storage are solved. When the objective is confirmed, return and convert it into progress: craft the upgrade, sort the material, save the route note, or mark the blocker as solved. If the route fails, do not repeat the same swim blindly. Change one variable at a time: enter from a clearer landmark, reduce inventory clutter, bring the missing tool, or wait until oxygen and vehicle support match the route. That turns a failed completion route into better field knowledge instead of another untracked cleanup sweep.

Forgetting which databox route produced the unlock.
FAQ
Is this guide for the current Subnautica 2 build?
This page is written for Early Access and includes a visible update date. Treat exact values as tracking notes until the current build is field-tested.
Does this page use official screenshots?
Pages combine attributed official Steam / Unknown Worlds media, local gameplay frame captures, and source-video evidence cards. New player-submitted captures should keep the route, timestamp, and build context attached.

Near starter shallows
Approx. 70-120m from pod
Confirm oxygen before leaving the first landmark. The route is much safer when you mark the return path before collecting side materials.

N/A
Creature patrol ranges and fragment placement can shift between builds, so treat exact distances as field estimates until multiple players confirm them.
