Multipurpose Room (Below Zero)

Overview

The Multipurpose Room is a Seabase Module in Subnautica: Below Zero. It provides significantly more interior space for movement compared to the I Compartment or X Compartment, though it is smaller than the Large Room.

Specifications

Construction & Placement

The Multipurpose Room is constructed using the Habitat Builder. It can be placed on top of a Foundation or attached directly to another Seabase module.

• Horizontal Connection: When connected horizontally to another module, a small corridor segment is automatically generated.
• Vertical Stacking: Multipurpose Rooms can be stacked vertically. Players must build ladders inside to access multiple floors.
• Expansion: Side panels allow expansion with other modules. However, side panels at 45-degree angles to the construction direction cannot be expanded from.
• Glass Dome: A Multipurpose Room Glass Dome can be placed on top, but this prevents further vertical stacking.

Hull Integrity Mechanics

Every Multipurpose Room added reduces total Hull Integrity by -1.25 (the game interface may display -1.3 due to rounding).

• The first piece of a seabase starts with +10 Integrity.
• If built as the first piece at surface depth, the net integrity is approximately 1.8 (+10 - 1.25).

Panel Limitations

• Ladders: Can be placed on all five floor and ceiling boxes if an adjacent Seabase module exists for connection.
• Windows & Reinforcements: Can be placed on all eight side panels.
  • Note: North, South, East, and West sides provide double the Hull Integrity bonus from reinforcements compared to the 45-degree sides. This may be a bug.
• Alien Containment Expansion Hatches: Can be placed on all eight side panels.
• Connection Restrictions: Cannot be connected to the Large Room using a Ladder.

Crafting

The blueprint is unlocked by scanning Multipurpose Rooms found at Outpost Zero or Delta Station. It is crafted exclusively with the Habitat Builder.
