In Subnautica 2, lithium is a crucial resource for crafting improved air tanks, allowing you to explore deeper waters. This guide will help you find lithium deposits efficiently.
Where to Find Lithium
Lithium is typically found in the following biomes:
- Kelp Forest Caves: Look for white crystalline nodes on cave walls and floors.
- Grassy Plateaus: Check around rock formations and near thermal vents.
- Deep Grand Reef: Deeper areas with green brine pools often contain lithium.
Mining Tips
- Use the Seaglide for faster travel between known nodes.
- Equip a Knife to harvest lithium from small clusters or a Drill for large deposits.
- Lithium appears as metallic grey rocks with a distinct sheen. Scan familiar areas regularly, as resources respawn over time.
Crafting with Lithium
Lithium is primarily used to craft the High Capacity O2 Tank, which increases oxygen storage from 75 to 135 units. Combine it with titanium and glass at a Fabricator.
“Without lithium, your air tank upgrades remain out of reach. Prioritize gathering it early in the game.”
Stay efficient, explore smart, and upgrade your gear to survive the depths.
