Large Resource Deposits (Subnautica): Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 15:04, 10 March 2025

This article is about {{#explode:Large Resource Deposits (Subnautica)|(}} in Subnautica. [[{{#explode:Large Resource Deposits (Subnautica)|(}} (Below Zero)|Click here]] for information on this subject in Below Zero.

Large Resource Deposits are large quantities of a single Raw Material found in Subnautica. Unlike stone outcrops, the materials cannot be harvested by hand; instead they must be broken down using the Prawn Suit Drill Arm.

Types of Deposits

Material	Quantity	Biome(s)
Copper Ore	8 - 16	Blood Kelp Caves Blood Kelp Zone Grand Reef Inactive Lava Zone Corridor Inactive Lava Zone Lost River Junction Mushroom Forest
Gold	9 - 18	Blood Kelp Caves Blood Kelp Zone Bone Fields Caves Bulb Zone Inactive Lava Zone Jellyshroom Cave Lost River Bones Fields Tree Cove Junction Underwater Islands
Kyanite	6 - 12 (Short) 11 - 22 (Tall)	Inactive Lava Zone Lava Lakes
Lead	8 - 16	Blood Kelp Zone Crash Zone Deep Grand Reef Inactive Lava Zone Corridor Inactive Lava Zone Lost River Ghost Forest Junction Mountain Island Mountains Sparse Reef
Lithium	8 - 16	Bone Fields Caves Bulb Zone Deep Sparse Reef Jellyshroom Cave Lost River Bone Fields Tree Cove Mushroom Forest Caves Mushroom Forest Sea Treader's Tunnel Caves Sparse Reef
Magnetite	7 - 14	Jellyshroom Cave
Nickel Ore	8 - 16	Inactive Lava Zone Lost River Bone Fields Ghost Canyon Ghost Forest Junction
Quartz	7 - 14	Crag Field Dunes Deep Sparse Reef Grand Reef Inactive Lava Zone Lost River Junction Mountains Corridor Mountains Caves Sparse Reef
Salt Deposit	7 - 14	Crag Field Crash Zone Mesas Dunes Grassy Plateaus Mountains Caves Mountains Mushroom Forest
Silver Ore	9 - 18	Crag Field Dunes Caves Dunes Inactive Lava Zone Jellyshroom Cave Lost River Bone Fields Ghost Forest Junction Mountains Underwater Islands

Trivia

There is a 0.000000471431432% chance for a large Kyanite deposit to yield 22 Kyanite pieces.
There are four Large Resource Deposit models that currently do not appear in Subnautica: the large Diamond, Ruby, Crystalline Sulfur and Mercury deposits.^[1]^[2]
- However, the Large Ruby Deposit and the Large Diamond Deposit were repurposed for Subnautica: Below Zero.
There used to be Large Resource Deposits of Diamonds generated on the map, before raw resources got new models.
Over the course of the development of Subnautica, the models for Large Resourse Deposits have often changed.
Large Silver Deposits have been found in the Jellyshroom Cave, but it is unknown if this is intentional or a bug.
