Steps to Gather Each Ingredient

1. Wiring Kit
– Resources Needed: 2 Silver Ore
– How to Craft:
– Use a Fabricator to convert 2 Silver Ore into a Wiring Kit.
– Where to Find Silver Ore:
– Explore areas like the Twisty Bridges and scan for Argentite Outcrops.
– Mine these outcrops to obtain Silver Ore. To refine it into Silver, simply use a Fabricator.

2. Computer Chip
– Resources Needed: 1 Gold Ore, 2 Table Coral Samples, and 1 Copper Wire
– How to Craft:
– Gold: Search the ocean floor near wrecks or underwater mountains for Gold Ore.
– Table Coral Samples: Located in shallow waters, typically around coral reefs. Look for red-colored coral formations.
– Copper Wire: Crafted from 2 Copper Ores, which you can mine from underwater rocks or scavenge from wrecks.
– Once you have gathered all the necessary resources, use a Fabricator to create a Computer Chip.

3. Battery
– Resources Needed: 2 Ribbon Plant Samples and 1 Copper Ore
– How to Craft:
– Ribbon Plant: Found in shallow habitats, particularly in kelp forests. These plants have a distinct ribbon-like appearance.
– Copper Ore: Same source as for Copper Wire; look for underwater rocks.
– With those resources in hand, combine them in a Fabricator to create a Battery.

Using the Habitat Builder

Once you’ve crafted the Habitat Builder, you can begin constructing and customizing your underwater habitat:

– Construction: The Habitat Builder allows you to create seabases, which are crucial for survival.
– Components: Use it to build various modules such as compartments, fabricators, life support systems, and more, significantly enhancing your underwater exploration and living conditions.

Additional Notes for Subnautica: Below Zero

In the sequel, Subnautica: Below Zero, the first step is to find a Habitat Builder fragment, typically located in specific locations such as Delta Station. Once you find enough fragments, you can craft the tool. In the original Subnautica, the recipe is usually available immediately in your Fabricator.

Now you’re equipped with all the information you need to successfully gather the components and craft your Habitat Builder. Happy building!
