Early run
Copper, Silver, Lead
Use nearby Copper to sanity-check bearings, then compare Silver and Lead candidates around wreck or mixed-resource routes. Check depth before following a distant coordinate.
Resource locations
Subnautica 2 resource locations map
Find Gold, Sulfur, Lead, Lithium, Silver, and Copper candidates without opening a full spoiler map. Start with the material you need, then compare distance from the Lifepod, target depth, route notes, confidence, and EA build before you leave base.
Fast route choice
If you know your current XYZ, use the Navigator first. If not, pick a resource card below and start from the closest high-confidence row. C3 rows are useful route candidates; C4/C5 rows should be prioritized when the current build matches.
By resource
Gold
Used in advanced electronics and several mid-game upgrades.
2 candidate locations
Silver
Needed for wiring kits and the early air-tank upgrade.
2 candidate locations
Copper
Mass-produced for basic batteries, wiring, and structural parts.
2 candidate locations
Lead
Required for radiation shielding and reinforced hull parts.
2 candidate locations
Lithium
High-energy batteries and plasteel; gates several blueprints.
3 candidate locations
Sulfur
Found around heat vents; required for first aid and acid-tier crafting.
3 candidate locations
Suggested resource order
Hotter routes
Gold and Sulfur
Gold and Sulfur candidates often need more route caution. Sort by distance, then read depth, notes, and confidence before committing to a heat-zone dive.
Deeper planning
Lithium
Lithium is better planned as a route choice, not a single coordinate. Pick the candidate that fits your oxygen, depth, and risk tolerance in the current EA build.
How to use this resource map
- Open the resource page for the material you need.
- Start with C4/C5 rows when available; C3 rows are useful candidates, not permanent truth.
- Compare horizontal distance, target depth, and notes before you leave base.
- Use the homepage Navigator if you already know your raw in-game XYZ.
- Report moved or missing nodes so the row can be rechecked against the current build.
