How to Scan and Unlock Blueprints

While certain recipes can be unlocked just by gathering the necessary crafting materials, you'll have to physically scan most things in Subnautica 2 before you can make them yourself.

Most of the stuff you can scan will be at old colony facilities, especially the places that NOA will send you during the main story. Generally, if you're going after a Black Box, you'll pass by some fancy new furniture or technology along the way.

Most items need to be scanned multiple times in order to unlock their respective blueprints. You can check the progress of any items you've scanned by opening the menu and navigating to the Blueprints tab.
