-Welcome to the ''Subnautica ''[[Getting Started|Getting Started Guide]].
-==How to get access to the latest build==
-Subnautica is currently in an early access phase. To get access to the latest build (patched almost every workday) follow the procedure listed here: [http://steamcommunity.com/app/264710/discussions/0/626329186988367319/ Steam Subnautica Game Guides: Dev Updates & Progress]

-A great video for new adventurers by MycroftCanadaNS<ref>http://forums.unknownworlds.com/discussion/136240/build-10837-how-to-get-started-survive#latest</ref>, showing you the basics of survival in ''Subnautica''.[[File:Subnautica 10837 How To Get Started & Survive!|thumb|left|500 px]]
-==Getting started Guide==
-If you start playing the Survival mode of ''Subnautica'', the main goal after being spawned into the world is to get [[:Category:Food|Food]] and [[:Category:Food|H2O]] (Water).
-<span style="font-size:13.63636302948px;">After you spawn you'll sit at a level of </span><span>50% Food and 65%</span><span style="font-size:13.63636302948px;"> H2O - so it's time to hurry up and get the supplies rolling.</span>
-Your best bet is to get yourself some [[fins]] to increase Swimming Speed and a [[knife]] for defense and harvesting some [[:Category:Life Forms|Life forms]] such as coral. You will need [[materials]] from them, for example [[Coral Chunk|coral chunks]] , to craft what you need, especially [[Filtered Water|filtered]] or [[Disinfected Water|disinfected water]].
-The game begins in a [[:Category:Biomes|Biome]] called [[Safe Shallows]], and it is shallow and safe indeed. It still provides you with all the things you need at this point so don't stray off too far.
-===What you need===
-From the first time you dive you should be on the lookout for a few [[Materials]] to get access to necessary items and supplies. Here's two short lists for your focus:
-Priority List in Order
-*<span style="font-size:14px;">1x </span>[[Tank]]
-*[[:Category:Food|Food]], especially [[Cooked Peeper]] or [[Cooked Garryfish]]
-*1x [[Knife]]
-*[[:Category:Food|H2O]], like [[Filtered Water|filtered]]<span style="font-size:13.63636302948px;"> </span><span style="font-size:13.63636302948px;">or </span>[[Disinfected Water|disinfected water]]
-: <span style="font-size:14px;">To get these items here's what you should watch out for:</span>
-<span style="font-size:14px;">Required [[Materials]] Priority List in Order</span>
-*<span style="font-size:13.63636302948px;">1-2 </span>[[Scrap Metal]]
-*[[Salt]] (the more the better - up to 10)
-*<span style="font-size:14px;">[[Peeper]]s, [[Garryfish]]  or other [[:Category:Food|Food]] fish (about 3-4 for starters)</span>
-*<span style="font-size:13.63636302948px;">5x [[Quartz]] </span>
-*[[Coral Chunk]]s<span style="font-size:14px;"> (</span><span style="font-size:13.63636302948px;">a couple)</span>
-==='''How to get the basic supplies'''===
-===The Escape Pod===
-The [[Escape Pod]] is where the player spawns and where they will respawn if they happen to die. The escape pod will serve as a shelter for much of the early game. Important components in the escape pod are the [[Fabricator]] and the [[Fragment Analyzer]]. The fabricator serves as the main crafting machine in Subnautica and new recipes will be revealed when interacting with while possessing different items in your inventory. The fragment analyzer can be used to research new technologies after bring it [[Fragments]], which are rectangular grey objects scattered through different biomes. Also of importance is the storage area behind the ladder where excess items can be stored. It will contain a random few items at the beginning of the game that maybe useful. Using the fabricator will slowly drain [[Energy]] from the three [[Power Cell|Power Cells]] on the bulkhead. While the player should have advanced past the escape pod by the time these deplete, new ones can be crafted.
-=== Scrap Metal & Tanks ===
-Usually there are a couple pieces of Scrap Metal scattered about but be careful not to take it when [[Stalker]]s are near. Watch your Oxygen as you look for Scrap Metal and get yourself at least three pieces for your first Tank and potentially a Knife. Then take the Scrap Metal to the fabricator and craft [[Titanium]].
-==== ''Hint: As soon as you have the 5 Quartz and Titanium you should craft the [[Fins]] and [[Tank]].'' ====
-=== Salt ===
-Salt is very important at this point. On all your dives be on the lookout for the small white crystals most commonly found on the rocky walls of cliffs. You will need one salt for every food item you craft at this stage. So don't hesitate to get a few.
-=== Peepers (or other food fish) & Food ===
-In the list of [[:Category:Food|food]] items the [[Peeper]] or [[Garryfish]] makes for a great choice. It's easy to spot (big yellow eye) and can even be used as a lure to keep Stalkers away. But for now we want it as a food and at this it shines with +32 food points.
-The downside: It's fast. But if you crafted your first pair of fins you should be able to catch a few.
-If you cannot find or catch any Peepers do not hesitate to catch any other smaller fish around you. Almost every fish in the [[Safe Shallows]] is edible.
-Hint: When you catch any fish I would recommend taking them to the fabricator to analyze the fish and cook it. If you just eat a normal Peeper you will lose 15 water.
-=== Titanium & your Knife ===
-While you are looking for [[Scrap Metal|scrap metal]] try and see if you can spot a [[Limestone]] node. With some luck you'll find Titanium within the first couple of nodes, looking in enclosed areas like in large tubes or caves may increase chances of finding [[Titanium]].
-As soon as you get your titanium and quartz you can craft a [[knife]].
-=== Coral Chunks & Water ===
-As you now got a knife it's time to get some Coral Chunks. Look out for a Coral and hit it with the knife. After you've done that you'll need to craft [[Bleach|bleach]] with the [[Coral Chunk|coral chunks]] and [[Salt]]. Now you can craft [[Disinfected Water|disinfected water]], which adds +30 to H2O.
-If you can't make it and it's an emergency - just go after some Airsacks - they can be used to craft [[Filtered Water|filtered water]]. Not as good as our initial plan but still a solid +15 to H2O.
-===Dealing with Radiation===
-Once the [[Aurora]] explodes harmful [[Radiation]] will spread into the waters surrounding it. In experimental mode this radiation will not reach the escape pod but it will in the current stable build. The radiation will keep you from exploring large areas near the Aurora but can be circumvented by crafting a [[Radiation Suit]]. While the radiation suit requires two silicone and two titanium which can be crafted from materials found near the escape pod it also requires two [[Lead]]. Each Lead requires three [[Copper Ore]] which can be found in nearby limestone chunks but also requires a [[Silver Ore]]. Silver Ore is only native to the [[Grassy Plateaus]] and that is where the player must travel to find it. The grassy plateaus' most identifiable characteristic is its bright red seagrass. The best way to find a grassy plateaus biome is to swim away from the Aurora. Beware that the Grassy Plateaus has many dangerous creatures such as the [[Sandshark]], [[Bone Shark]], and [[Spike Plant]]. Both silver and [[Gold]] can be found in [[Sandstone]] nodes hidden between the seagrass. Both materials are important crafting ingredients and it is recommended that the player takes a good amount. Once the radiation suit is crafted the suit, radiation helmet, and radiation gloves will be acquired. All three of these items must be worn to fully protect against radiation damage. The radiation can be stopped but that is up to the player to figure out how.
-== You've made it! ==
-If you made it here you'll be able to survive your first days and nights on the alien world of ''Subnautica''. Feel free to keep this Wiki open in case you get lost or need some information - but most importantly at this point - start exploring and enjoying the game. :)
