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 fragments. Vehicles are divided into deployables, which are crafted using the Fabricator and are carried by the player, and vessels, which are crafted using the Mobile Vehicle Bay and are piloted.

Craftable Vehicles

Vehicle	Description	Top Speed(m/s)	Perks/Upgrades
Seaglide	Converts torque into thrust underwater via propeller.	9.5	Terrain map Flashlight
Seamoth*	One-person submersible.	Forward - 12.7 Backward - 5 Lateral - 11.5 Vertical - 11	Storage Seamoth Sonar Seamoth Perimeter Defense System Torpedo System Hull Reinforcement Engine Efficiency Module Seamoth Solar Charger
Prawn Suit	Epic exosuit designed for navigating alien environments on foot.	Forward - 6 Backward - 2.5 Lateral - 4 Thrust - 6 Thrust (upgraded) - 12	Storage Prawn Suit Thermal Reactor Prawn Suit Jump Jet Upgrade Prawn Suit Drill Arm Prawn Suit Propulsion Cannon Prawn Suit Grappling Arm Prawn Suit Torpedo Arm
Cyclops*	Vast industrial-use submarine.	Ahead Slow - 5.4 Ahead Standard - 8.2 Ahead Flank - 10.5	Storage Mobile base Cyclops Hull Module MK1 Cyclops Hull Module MK2 Cyclops Engine Efficiency Module Cyclops Shield Generator Cyclops Sonar Upgrade Cyclops Docking Bay Repair Module
Rocket	One-person planetary travel.	-	Finishing the game

* A save file in which the Seamoth and the Cyclops have been acquired is displayed with the respective vehicles' icons.

Future Plans

One of the ideas listed for possible implementation after release is a jetpack.^[1]
While not technically a vehicle, another potentially planned mode of transportation is teleportation technology.^[2]

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.^[3]
