How to Get Processor in Subnautica 2
Quick Answer
To get the Processor, craft a Scanner, travel to a known scan site such as Old Habitat north of the Lifepod, scan the broken Processor, then build it inside a powered base with the Habitat Builder.
Requirements
- Scanner
- Habitat Builder route started
- Oxygen safety
- Old Habitat or wreck scan route
- Base power plan
Exact Location
- Start with Old Habitat north of the Lifepod. Treat southwest wreck reports as a backup route if the Old Habitat scan is blocked or changed.
Step-by-Step Route
- Craft the Scanner before leaving the Lifepod area.
- Head to Old Habitat and look for a broken Processor inside the damaged structure.
- Scan the object until the Processor blueprint unlocks.
- Return to your base and confirm the Processor appears in the Habitat Builder menu.
- Gather Titanium, Mild Acid, and Copper Wire, then place the Processor in a powered room.
Crafting Recipe
- Processor build materials are currently listed as Titanium, Mild Acid, and Copper Wire.
- Check the in-game count because sources disagree between 2x and 3x Titanium.
