You remember the map. Blueprints are in certain locations, usually around the same depth. Important fragments are almost always around lifepods.

11 hours n one day???

I only started looking things up when I got frustrated. It’s fun to drive around in my seamoth and discover new things. It’s not fun to drive around on two power cells looking for Cyclops pieces and finding nothing, only to look it up and find out they’re on this obscure part of the map you somehow haven’t found yet... then spend another 40 minutes trying to find that location...

I like the discovery there is in the game. I don’t like getting frustrated by being unable to find things I need to progress.

I cheated one time and spawned in a tablet because I didn’t have one and I was like 20 minutes from my base and I knew I’d never be able to find this place again.

I wuld say yes if you want to but I have never ever been successful in finding them from the info from Google. So I wuld say fuck Google explore the map.

It's all up to you really but in my experience I find it a bit boring after about 40 mins of searching so I usually end up looking it up after a while.

It depends if you find the searching part of the game enjoyable if you don't then in my opinion I think you should just look it up so you can get back to the parts of the game you enjoy

It’s free after building the prawn suit with the vehicle upgrade console

You should get it unlocked automatically once you build a Vehicle Upgrade Console in your moonpool. No need to find a fragment/databox.

The real issue is getting your hands on the nickel to build it.

If you still need the blueprint for the Vehicle Upgrade Console, there's a couple places you can get that. Easiest one is just to the E/NE in the nearby grassy plateau area. There's a Large wreck kind of at the north-ish end of the plateau (about 300m NE of the shallows geyser). The databox you want is deep inside, on the lowest level. There's a gap you can sneak in through if the Aurora hasn't blown up yet, but otherwise you'll need a laser cutter to get to it.

Great work!! Hoping you might have a lead on the Hover Car blueprint? I assumed the whale drops it but I’ve murdered him countless times with the Anubis potions to no avail. I was able to get him to drop the anti-whale pike (which is available to craft) by chain restraining him with the huge one and breaking his spine(x3).

Lol I ran through a new world marking every chest in game a few months ago wish I had thought to use a full sized map also

alguien sabe donde puedo encontrar a las jirafas?

You are an absolute hero. There are several blueprints I've tried for the life of me to find that I never could!

mapgenie.io/subnautica

I think the Mountains biome has the most blueprints, but its pretty dangerous

Every biomes got a few

Depends on what you want. When i want moonpool or cyclops fragments, i go to either of the mushroom forests

Different blueprints are found in different biomes, so no biome is “best.”

Best way to find more blueprints? Put down a scanner room and tell it to search for fragments, wrecks, or databoxes.

You can also find databanks scattered around near wreckage, but primarily the scanner is used to scan fragments.

Gotta take your scanner and scan fragments that are either inside of crates or lying around the sea floor.

There is a cloud that the Aurora's engines are facing, and it never disappears. Go there, explore, and you should find the observatory, exterior, indoor growbeds, and multipurpose room. If you have lifepod 17 and seamoth, there is a purple mushroom area near the pod. Go down there, there should be an abandoned base with it.

It isn't directly under the entrance, but is in that biome.

If you look in the direction the ship is facing you might find yourself intrigued by a particular formation.

Mountain island to the left of the Aurora a ways. Easier than mushroom caves early on.

There are no blueprints, you scan an already built multipurpose room. Keep following the radio signal beacons.

I’m about 13 hrs into the game and found some good stuff near the Aurora. HOWEVER I will warn you to watch out for the reaper leviathans. I had an unexpected run in with one and they frequent the area so be careful lol

Visiting the wreck of the Aurora itself might not be a bad idea. Who knows, maybe there's something useful in there for you to pick up or scan.

subnauticamap.io is a cool interactive map with wrecks marked. If you want a specific item, check the wiki for where it spawns and then use the map to easily find wrecks. Visiting the Aurora might be a good idea, but to get far you need to have a repair tool and laser cutter, and there isn't a lot of tech (other than the PRAWN and some vehicle upgrades).

There's a databox in the northern mountains or in the degasi grand reef base.

Grand Reef.

The one I go to is in the Degasi deep grand reef base, about 500m down. There is a containment unit you can scan to get the blueprint.
