Getting titanium ingots in Subnautica 2 is the first time the game expects you to set off without guidance to find an essential new crafting blueprint. It won’t be the last. While it might seem like you’re expected to find your way in the dark, the blueprint you need for the processor that turns titanium into ingots is closer than you might expect.
Below, we explain how to get titanium ingots in Subnautica 2 and where to find the processor blueprint.
[Ed. note: Before you dive in, be sure to open the character menu and enable all landmark signals. This will make it easier to spot the locations mentioned in this guide.]
How to get a processor in Subnautica 2
You need a processor to craft titanium ingots, and there’s only a small handful of places to find the processor blueprint. The first is near Wander’s Blackbox, where you likely found the sonic resonator blueprint as well, and it’s inside a large hunk of the Cicada shipwreck. Travel east from the coral dome above Wander’s Blackbox, and you’ll see the seafloor suddenly drop away. To your left (about 265 meters southwest of the Lifepod, for reference) is an abandoned base you can use to replenish your oxygen and pick up more lore. The wreckage is just across from the base.
Head inside, and you’ll find several useful things to scan, including a blueprint for a high-capacity air tank. At the back of the room is a processor. Scan it to unlock the blueprint.
There’s also a second processor you can scan much further away, in the abandoned habitat near the Alien Ruins. This is very far to the east of the Lifepod, past the Tadpole Pens and a dangerous stretch of deep ocean, and it’s highly unlikely that you’d end up here before getting the sonic resonator. However, if you decided to ignore objectives, swim off into the sunrise, and find yourself here, there’s a processor waiting for you.
How to get titanium ingots in Subnautica 2
Building a processor requires:
- 1 copper wire
- 1 mild acid
- 2 titanium
It also takes 10 energy per second, so you’ll need several solar panels on your base to power it.
With your processor built and powered, approach the left side of it, interact with the panel, and choose the recipe for titanium ingots. One ingot requires three pieces of titanium. Wait about 30 seconds for the machine to fabricate the ingot, and then retrieve it from the right side of the processor.
Now you’re free to craft your sonic resonator, better air tanks, and — with copper ingots as well — a bioreactor. The bioreactor powers your base using things like fiber pulp and small fish, making it easy to keep the lights on even when the sun goes down. Just make sure to keep a stock of titanium on hand in a chest or storage locker for crafting additional ingots. It’s easy to run out quickly when you’re building a base and trying to stockpile ingots for other blueprints.
If you’re starting out in Subnautica 2, we have a plethora of guides to help you navigate the deep blue sea. Our Subnautica 2 beginner’s guide will set you off in the right direction and our base building tips will assist in planning out your sprawling base. Don’t forget to stock up on food and water, too. (And if you want to get fancy with your food, you’ll want salt!)
If you need help finding materials, we explain how to get the sonic resonator, which you’ll want to mine tons of materials. We have guides on where to find these resources, like lead, sulfur, copper, quartz, and gold.
