Processor Scan Location in Subnautica 2
Quick Answer
The Processor scan object is a broken or degraded Processor, not a loose pickup. The primary scan location is Old Habitat north of the Lifepod; backup scan reports mention wreck interiors.
Requirements
- Scanner
- Old Habitat route
- Enough oxygen to inspect rooms
Exact Location
- Scan a broken Processor inside damaged habitat or wreck interiors. Old Habitat north of the Lifepod is the best first check.
Step-by-Step Route
- Equip the Scanner before entering the structure.
- Aim at the broken Processor object until the scan prompt appears.
- Complete the scan and watch for the Processor blueprint unlock.
- If the prompt does not appear, check the other side of the room and backup wreck scan routes.
- After scanning, return to base and build it with Habitat Builder.
What It Unlocks
- Processor blueprint
- Processor build recipe
- Ingot processing
Common Mistakes
- Looking for inventory fragments instead of a scannable facility object.
- Leaving after finding Old Habitat but before scanning.
- Assuming no scan prompt means the blueprint is unavailable everywhere.
