You've just splashed down in Subnautica 2 and your first order of business after finding the Habitat Builder is to begin constructing your undersea base. But where should you build it? There's mystery and danger in every direction, so you might need some help zeroing in on the best Subnautica 2 base locations.
Ideally, you'll want to be close to harvestable resources like titanium and quartz—you're gonna need plenty of both to build your base, after all—but also useful materials like copper, silver, and lead. Powering your base is also a concern, because solar power will only keep the lights and oxygen on during the day, so being close to a strong ocean current to generate electricity with a turbine is important.
Starter area base location 1: Under the lifepod
For your first base, I recommend doing what I and pretty much everyone else at PC Gamer did: build right under or next to your lifepod. While you're scrimping to stretch your meagre resources, the pod will serve as an extra room with storage and a fabricator, and since it's above the surface of the water, it'll supply you with endless oxygen. It's also got NoA, your AI, and a respawn point: why spend the resources to rebuild those immediately if you don't need to?
