Locations of the tadpole fragments

The Tadpole is the first vehicle you can build in Subnautica 2. Before you can get started, you must first follow a few steps. The first of these is, to find three tadpole fragments. Only then can the vehicle actually be built.

The good news: All three fragments are not very far from the escape capsule and can be scanned one after the other. All you need is one Scanner.

All of the fragments are located on the edge of a huge gorge. Don’t worry: you don’t have to dive too deep to find the parts. The respective distance information is used The starting point is always the rescue capsule.

All steps necessary to produce the vehicle

Anyone who thinks that most of the work has now been done is wrong. You can’t simply create the vehicle with a construction tool. First you need a base and in the base a large room in which you can Diving dock builds. Finally, the vehicle fabricator must be attached to the diving dock. The Vehicle manufacturer costs to produce

  • 2x titanium bars (6x titanium),
  • 1x copper bar (3x copper),
  • 2x glass (4x quartz).
The vehicle fabricator requires more space than it seems.

Gives him more space than necessary. When a vehicle is manufactured, it is projected into the water of the diving dock and could suffer immediate damage if the tank is too small. After that you can the vehicle Make it yourself, for which you have to use the following materials:

  • 2x titanium bars (6x titanium)
  • 1x glass (2x quartz)
  • 1x system chip (1x cable set, 2x quartz)
  • 1x Energy Cell (2x Simple Battery, 1x Strong Acid, 1x Salt)

You have now completed everything necessary to build the tadpole. However, we strongly recommend that you also have one Tadpole dock to build. The tadpole needs electricity to function properly.
