Vehicles

Read at own risk This article contains unmarked spoilers. Players new to the game would want to avoid or be cautious toward this article.

Vehicles are machines for exploration and transportation available to the player after acquiring their respective fragments and blueprints.

Vehicles are crafted using the Mobile Vehicle Bay, with the exception of the Snowfox which has its own dedicated crafting station.

Trivia

• The original vehicle plans for Subnautica saw the player have access to two small subs, two medium-sized subs, and one or two large subs. Concept art can be found for these other submarines. Ultimately, the Cyclops, prioritized for its "civilian" look, took up so much time that more subs that didn't truly add new gameplay were considered a bad investment of resources and were scrapped.
• Although the Seamoth is unobtainable in Subnautica: Below Zero, it can still be spawned in with console commands (spawn seamoth). All of it's upgrade modules can also be spawned in with console commands as well. However it can't be docked in Moonpools and will appear as a very bright white with the name "Placeholder".
