Harvesting Nodes

This seems new This article contains information that is updated for the latest Experimental Version of Subnautica. Players using stable mode may find this information inaccurate.

Harvesting Nodes are mineral deposits that can be broken up by the player to reveal the materials inside. Each Harvesting Node drops a different set of Raw Materials. All Harvesting Nodes use the same textures but vary slightly in size.

While Harvesting Nodes can be broken by the players hands, many tools have bash animations to break them. Breaking a node with the knife will decrement the knife's durability. Harvesting Nodes, despite their static nature, can be picked up and launched by the Propulsion Cannon. They will break on impact.
