Cut Content (Subnautica)

This page serves to chronicle any significant content that has been removed from Subnautica.

Order is in alphabet.

Accumulator

The Accumulator was a machine meant to store power for Seabases. It is unknown why it was cut. 

Amino Acid

Amino Acid is an unimplemented raw material. It is used to create Graphene.

Botanical Analysis Machine

The Botanical Analysis Machine was a machine meant to study Flora, it was cut when the Scanner was a much better way to study flora.

Current Generator

The Current Generator is a deployable crafted using the Fabricator. The Current Generator takes up four slots in the player's Inventory, that means the player can carry 12 of them if the inventory is cleared first. The Current Generator uses no power and can be left on all the time.

Once the device is deployed and activated, it will produce a column-shaped hydro-current from an emitter on its front. This stream can push small and large objects alike, including Lifepod 5 and the Reefback. However the Seamoth and Cyclops are not affected by the Current Generator.

The Current Generator has been scrapped and is no longer available in the game.

  Many Current Generators are effective against Stalkers in Kelp Forest

Fragment Analyzer

The Fragment Analyzer was a Placeable Item that was used to decode Fragments into Blueprints. Only one fragment was needed to research a blueprint however the Fragment Analyzer could research four fragments at a time. The progress of analysis was displayed when the player looked at the Fragment Analyzer. At one point a Fragment Analyzer was pre-installed inside the Lifepod. The functionality of the Fragment Analyzer was given to the Scanner and the fragment system was reworked.

Graphene

Graphene is a Material and is crafted with the Fabricator. It has been temporarily removed from the game and to obtain it one must use Debug Console Commands.

The Graphene is about 200 times stronger than steel by weight, conducts heat and electricity with great efficiency and is nearly transparent. It is also a great water filter.

Ion Lithium Battery

The Lithium Ion Battery  is an upgrade to the Battery and is crafted at the Modification Station. The Lithium Ion Battery holds twice as much energy as the battery. It was cut when the battery charger was a good way to save energy. It can be spawned by using command "ITEM LITHIUMIONBATTERY". The Lithium Ion Battery has been remade and is now called the Ion Battery, instead the crafting recipie has an Ion Crystal instead of Lithium.

Nanowires

Nanowires are a nano-scale Electronic item that is intended for quantum devices and sensors. They have been temporarily removed from the game.

Observatory

The early Observatory was a small primitive glass box that could be constructed with the Mobile Vehicle Bay. Unlike the newer Observatory it was not a Seabase module and was instead freestanding. It had two entrances and was primarily used to observe Fauna and the environment. The only way to move it was to use Floaters.

Old Bioreactor

The old Bioreactor was built outside of a base and could only be powered using Tree Mushroom Samples and Creepvine Samples.

• 

Old Nuclear Reactor

The old Nuclear Generator was built outside of the Seabase and had to be supplied with raw Uranium to function.

Power Generator

The Power Generator was a Placeable Item that generated Power for seabases using Power Cells. The Power Generator had a capacity of six power cells at any time. It was very similar to the generator on the Cyclops.

Specimen Analyzer

The Specimen Analyzer was a machine meant to study Eggs. It was removed when the Alien Containment and Scanner were added.
