If you are looking to power up your underwater operations, finding the Thermal Plant is a top priority. While this structure serves as a highly viable source of energy for your base, reaching it requires venturing into much more hazardous territory than the starting zones.
How To Unlock The Thermal Plant In Subnautica 2
Unlocking new technology in the sequel follows a specific progression path. To gain access to the Thermal Plant blueprint, you cannot simply craft it from materials; instead, you must rely on your scanner tool to find specific data points left behind in the world.
The process for unlocking this power source is straightforward but carries significant risk:
- Locate Thermal Plant fragments scattered throughout the environment.
- Use your scanner to successfully scan at least two fragments.
- Once the scanning requirement is met, the blueprint will be added to your crafting menu.
Finding Fragments in Dangerous Waters
The good news for survivors is that finding these components isn't a long, drawn-out scavenger hunt. A couple of the necessary fragments are located right next to each other, making the discovery process relatively quick once you find the right spot.
However, there is a catch. The location where these fragments reside is not for the faint of heart. You will likely encounter aggressive fauna and high-pressure environments while searching for the Thermal Plant components. Prepare your gear and stay vigilant, as the reward of consistent base power is worth the danger of the hunt.
