How to Secure the Growbed Blueprint in Subnautica 2
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
A comprehensive guide on how to find, scan, and build growbeds in Subnautica 2 to establish a sustainable base garden for infinite food, water, and medicine.
Survival crafting games live and die by base building efficiency, and Subnautica 2 makes a strong case for taking up agriculture early. Setting up an underwater garden gives players a renewable source of food, water, and vital medical supplies right from their home base, cutting down on those frantic, low oxygen resource runs. According to a recent guide by Marloes Valentina Stella over at Polygon, securing this utility requires a bit of deep sea exploration and the right gear before you can start cultivating your own marine flora.
To unlock the growbed blueprint, players need to venture out to the Alien Ruins, located roughly 1,300 meters east of the Lifepod. You will first need to investigate the Tadpole Pens to trigger the proper signal, and you should definitely pack a tadpole submarine along with a scanner and multitool for the trip. Once you arrive at the ruins, you simply need to locate and scan two existing growbeds. One sits on the roof near a cluster of lucifer rotsacs, while the second rests on the ground on the western side of the structure.
Once the blueprint is yours, building your own garden is straightforward using the habitat builder under the cultivation menu, requiring just one titanium per square meter. The best part about setting up an underwater farm is the automation aspect. Fully grown plants can be harvested with a multitool, and they will regrow automatically over the course of an in-game day without needing to plant a new seed. For a full breakdown of farmable plants and seed requirements, you can check out the original guide on Polygon.
