How to Use Processor in Subnautica 2
Quick Answer
Use the Processor by interacting with its input side, choosing a recipe, loading the required materials, waiting for the timer, then collecting the finished item from the output side.
Requirements
- Built Processor
- Powered base
- Raw recipe materials
- Inventory space for output
Exact Location
- The Processor has separate interaction points. GamerGuides describes recipe selection and material loading on the left/input side, with finished output collected separately.
Step-by-Step Route
- Confirm your base has power before starting a recipe.
- Interact with the input side of the Processor.
- Choose the recipe and load the required materials.
- Wait for the processing timer to finish; ingots can take from 30 seconds to several minutes.
- Move to the output side and collect the finished item.
What It Unlocks
- Titanium Ingot

- Advanced material chains
Common Mistakes
- Opening only the input side and thinking the result vanished.
