Picture Frame (Subnautica)

The Picture Frame is an in-development item that can be placed inside the Cyclops or inside a Seabase module. It allows the player to view a slideshow of pictures. Picture Frames can be constructed with the Habitat Builder.

The player is able to take pictures of the environment with their PDA. The pictures can then be displayed by the Picture Frame. The Picture Frame can display a single picture or be set to display a slideshow.

Custom Images

While the Picture Frame is intended to display screenshots it is also possible to import custom photos. Screenshot images are stored at:

(Steam game folder)\SteamApps\common\Subnautica\SNAppData\SavedGames\slot(xxxx)\screenshots

for Mac version the location is under the steam game folder at:

/steamapps/common/Subnautica/Subnautica.app/Contents/SNAppData/SavedGames/slot(xxxx)/screenshots

Note: Subnatica.app is the application package (this may be a bug and has been reported)

To import a custom photo to the Picture Frame simply move an image into the screenshots folder. For the photo to fit in the Picture Frame properly it must be 800x600 resolution.
