If you want to craft advanced items such as Ingots, you’ll need to build a base piece called the Processor. The Processor is one of the most important base equipment items you will need in your base if you want to progress faster in Subnautica 2.
With that in mind, here’s how to build and how to unlock its blueprint and its recipe.
How to Build a Processor in Subnautica 2
Before building a Processor in Subnautica 2, the blueprint must first be unlocked. To do this, a Scanner is required, which is a tool that can be unlocked early in the game.
From the Lifepod, head 350 meters north and reach the Old Habitat area.
Enter the abandoned base through the hole beneath the small room.
Move forward to the next room. On the left side, you will find the Processor next to the two storage units attached to the wall.
Point the Scanner at the Processor and scan it to obtain its blueprint. Fortunately, only one Processor needs to be scanned to unlock the blueprint.
How to Craft Processor in Subnautica 2?
To craft a Processor in Subnautica 2, you will need the required materials for the recipe, as well as a base.
Without a base, a Processor cannot be built. A Lifepod also cannot be used as well. Note that you will need a Habitat Builder to construct your base.
