How to unlock and use every power source in Subnautica 2

After the preface of Subnautica 2Just like the first game, you'll land on an unfamiliar world with nothing but your Lifepod. It will take you a bit to get used to your environment, but after that, you'll start needing a good place for all your items and buildings because the Lifepod can only hold so much.

It takes you to build a base in the water, where you can build all the new structures you unlock. However, most of these structures require power to function. There are a total of three ways to get powers that you gradually unlock as you progress, and here's how each one works.

How to unlock and use solar panels

Solar panels are the initial energy sources you unlock as soon as you get the Habitat Builder in Subnautica 2. You can find it in the Exterior Features section. This is the easiest power source to use as it can be attached directly to any part of your base, and automatically faces the sun once it is placed.

It takes one titanium and two quartz to make a solar panel, each providing energy at eight o'clock in the morning. but, As the sun sets, this power output drops to oneMaking this a not-so-great option for endgame power usage. During the early game, however, you can have a bunch of these to offset the reduction in power output.

How to unlock and use hydroelectric turbines

The hydroelectric turbine is the second power source you'll unlock as the story progresses, and it's already much better than solar panels in many aspects. You have to put these turbines into active flow, which can happen Known as white wind that flows in certain directions through water.

Fortunately, the current came from a cave very close to the lifepod, Making it the perfect location for a starter base. A hydroelectric turbine produces 12 power when it is powered, and you need to use power transmitters to transport this power to your base. One transmitter is sufficient to transmit the power of several turbines As you wish, it is kept within 100 meters range.

You can unlock the hydroelectric turbine by scanning these two locations during the early game:

location	picture	Instructions from Lifepod	Description
1		358 meters at the top measurement at a depth of 30 meters by 30 meters	You'll find this turbine next to a giant crate The top of one of the rock formations Near Camp One. It is very easy to find once you are in place.
2		186 m in a southerly direction at a depth of 90 m	As you head south from the lifepod, drop down as the water deepens You'll find it near some debris.

Once you unlock the turbine, you can craft a craft using three each of silver, bronze, and titanium.

How to unlock and use Thermal Plant

The last power source you unlock in Subnautica 2 is the Thermal Plant, and it can Generate up to 16 energy if you place it correctly. In a normal biome, these biomes do not produce any electricity. However, if you place them in the desert east of the lifepod or in the hot areas in the Axum biome, they are best for power output.

You will get the highest power output from these When placed near a geyser, lava erupts. You can easily unlock this power source by entering an underground cave in the desert in the following ways:

location	picture	Instructions from Lifepod	Description
1		540 meters by 105 at a depth of 143 meters on the top scale	At the mentioned location, you will find three holes that lead you to an underground cave. Follow this path until you reach The hot peak heads underground and in an easterly direction. Here, you'll see a hole in the blue area, which will lead you to an oxygen plant Then the first thermal plant scan.
2			In the same cave, find a way down this peak to the northeast and Swim all the way down To find the second thermal plant scan.

A thermal plant takes three each of titanium, copper and gold You also need power transmitters for this.
