Trash Can (Subnautica)

The Trash Can is a Miscellaneous Item constructed using the Habitat Builder and is scanned from Trash Cans found among wreckages.

It can be used to dispose of unwanted items such as rotten Food and excess materials. It is treated like a form of storage, but any items placed in it are irretrievably deleted from the game world after a short time delay. This means that the player can dispose of unwanted items rather than have them take up space in storage or dropping them on the seafloor, the latter of which can cause lag.

It cannot dispose of nuclear waste; a Nuclear Waste Disposal must be used instead.

Trivia

• If a trash can is placed in such a way that it blocks the entrance to a hatch, when entering the player will be placed in walking mode while being pushed outside of the base, leading to walking underwater.
