What to know

  • Scanning two separate fragments unlocks the complete blueprint.

  • Both fragments rest near the old habitat located north of the starting lifepod.

  • The scanner tool is necessary to acquire the design.

  • Placing the crafted turbine in water currents provides unlimited base power.


Securing a reliable power source is a major milestone for underwater survival in Subnautica 2. The hydroelectric turbine offers a consistent energy supply by harnessing natural ocean currents. Unlocking this technology requires a short expedition to scan specific wreckage fragments scattered on the ocean floor.

Requirement Detail
Total fragments needed Two pieces
General direction North of the lifepod
Distance Approximately 350 to 400 meters
Required tool Scanner
Primary function Generates base electricity from water flow

The fragments for this machinery are situated around the old BFJ Habitat, which lies to the north of the main starting lifepod. This area is characterized by deep trenches. You must dive into the deeper sections of this biome to spot the abandoned technology resting on the seabed and adjacent hills.
