21 resource nodes in Subnautica 2: ore deposits, flora and biological harvest points. Mine, pick or cut for food, fiber and crafting materials.
21 of 21 nodes
Resonator-mineable mineral nodes: titanium, copper, gold, lithium and rarer ores.
Plants, kelp, anemones, blight blooms - harvestable for fiber, fruit, or fluid.
Resonatable nodes that don't fit a primary category.
Subnautica 2 ships 21 resource nodes in its May 14, 2026 Early Access build, split across ore deposits, flora and biological harvest points. Every node has a fixed drop table: a list of items, the amount that drops, and the chance per roll. The combined expected yield across the full roster is around 61 items per sweep if you broke every node once.

Every node in the grid above falls into one of three categories. Each plays a different role in the crafting loop.
Mineral nodes scattered through the seafloor. Each one drops a fixed amount of a single resource when broken, no rolling.
Plants, kelp, blooms and growths. Some are hand-pickable for food and fiber, others need a tool to break loose.
Tissue and material harvested from dead leviathans or large creature carcasses. High-value, low-supply.
The full loop, from node to inventory. Same survival rhythm as Subnautica 1, with one new layer: co-op crews share base storage automatically.
Each node has a fixed drop table: a list of items, the amount that drops, and the chance per roll. Most ore deposits drop one ore type at 100% chance with a small stack count. Flora and biological nodes can roll multiple items at different chances per break.
Tap any card in the grid above for the exact drop table, expected yield and which tool the node responds to.
Most resources auto-snap into your inventory the moment they drop, as long as you're within the node's pickup radius (usually 2 to 3 metres). Larger biological drops fall to the seabed and have to be grabbed by hand, which matters when you're harvesting under combat.
Co-op parties share inventory via base storage: anyone breaking a node fills the same pool the whole crew draws from.
