Kelp Forest

Template:Infobox Biome The Kelp Forest is one of the most common biome types in Subnautica, featuring a high density of Creepvines. They are recognized as one of the most productive and dynamic ecosystems on the planet. Kelp Forests are also known as the home of the Stalkers.

The Kelp Forest possesses a distinct green hue in the water. It is located at medium depths and is home to mainly passive life forms, with the exception of Stalkers and Bleeders. The terrain is composed of mossy ground and a sandy seabed, sometimes showing entrances to cavern systems.

Most of the raw materials found here are at medium-level depths, with many harvesting nodes such as Limestone and Sandstone. The Creepvine Seed Clusters not only provide light and a beautiful night time scenery, but are also crucial ingredients for making lubricants and silicone rubber which are a vital fabricating ingredient in the game.

There are currently six Kelp Forests on the map, some of which contain a Wreck or a Destroyed Escape Pod.
