Subnautica: Farming Magnetite - how to get the raw material

To make weapons, buildings or a factory in Subnautica, you need the raw material Magnetite. This can be found in several biomes in the Subnautica world and can be farmed by diving for it. We'll show you the best places to look for magnetite.

Farming magnetite: It can be found in these Subnautica biomes

Magnetite is one of the raw materials in Subnautica and is needed to craft various items. In order to collect magnetite, you will need to travel to the biomes where a rich supply of the raw material can be found. Since magnetite is contained in the seabed, it is necessary for you to dive for it there.

1. The greatest chance to get magnetite is in the Mountain Biom, which is located in the north-eastern part of the map. Here you can find magnetite at a depth of 500 meters in the volcanic vents on the mountain ridges.
2. In addition, magnetite can also be farmed in the Jellyshroom Cave system. This biome is located beneath the Grassy Plateaus, Kelp Forest and Safe Shallows and can be accessed via the floor plates of the three biomes.
3. In the Lost River biome, you can also find magnetite sporadically. However, since the biome is located at a depth of 1,000 meters, it is difficult to access and also extremely dangerous due to the sulfur mist.

This is what magnetite is needed for in Subnautica

Have you found enough magnetite, you can use it to make buildings, vehicles and machines. For example, magnetite is needed not only to make a construction tool needed to build the thermal power plant, but also to make a vehicle modification station. This, in turn, is used in Subnautica to create various weapons such as a thrust cannon or a vortex torpedo.
