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

  1. Confirm your base has power before starting a recipe.
  2. Interact with the input side of the Processor.
  3. Choose the recipe and load the required materials.
  4. Wait for the processing timer to finish; ingots can take from 30 seconds to several minutes.
  5. Move to the output side and collect the finished item.

What It Unlocks

  • Titanium Ingot
  • Copper Ingot
  • Silver Ingot
  • Gold Ingot
  • Strong Acid
  • Advanced material chains

Common Mistakes

  • Opening only the input side and thinking the result vanished.
  • Leaving before the timer finishes.
  • Starting recipes while the base power is too low.
