Route planning

Distance is not the whole route

The first sulfur pickup is shallow enough for an early run, but bulk farming routes get hotter and deeper. Use the Navigator from your current coordinates instead of following a generic compass direction.

Before you dive

Check depth, tools, and confidence

Heat tolerance, oxygen margin, and a marked return path matter more than raw distance. Treat heat notes as guidance until the row has current-build evidence.

Best for players searching "subnautica 2 sulfur location" who need a safer route through heat zones.

FAQ

Where do I find Sulfur in Subnautica 2?

The easiest early Sulfur route is the Open Seabed Pillar / Coral Crab Rock Pillar candidate, about 200m southeast of the Lifepod and roughly 25m deep. Pick up small pieces by hand for early progress; use Sonic Resonator when you are ready to break larger deposits.

How do I read these coordinates in-game?

Pause the game and copy the raw XYZ values shown in the lower-right HUD. Public map data indicates raw X is east/west, raw Y is north/south, and raw Z is depth. The homepage Navigator converts those raw values relative to the Lifepod before calculating from-here distance and bearing.

A Sulfur node moved between EA builds — what now?

Each row shows the EA build/date currently attached to that coordinate candidate. If you find a moved or missing node in a newer build, click "Report" on the row — the form pre-fills the POI ID, page URL, and current coordinates so you only have to add the corrected XYZ and (ideally) a screenshot.
