Overview
The Nutrient Block is a dense block of processed Food that was part of the remnants of the rations eaten aboard the Aurora before its demise. They provide the most food of any single food item in Subnautica.
Locations
Nutrient Blocks can only be found inside Supply Crates, a type of storage that’s found in the Crash Zone, Wrecks, and sometimes in other biomes, but mostly lying around in certain rooms in the Aurora. Two are also found inside the storage unit of Lifepod 5.
Common locations for Supply Crates containing Nutrient Blocks include:
- Wrecks
- Bulb Zone
- Dunes
- Grand Reef
- Mountains
Gameplay Tips
A useful trick is to consume a Nutrient Block when the Food Meter is near 99% (but not 100%). This will overflow the meter to up to 174%, allowing for an extra long trip before food is required again.
