Things to do first in Subnautica 2
Short answer: Start by opening the map, searching Silver and Copper, checking Shallows markers, then marking the first few POIs and black boxes as local progress. Do not chase deep signals until the marker detail shows biome, depth, source confidence, and route notes.
Use the page as a route decision, not a thin article
1. Open the map before reading long guides
Use /map/ as the primary task console. Search first, then inspect a physical marker instead of scanning a static article.
2. Search Silver and Copper
These early resource intents have indexable dossiers and filtered map entries with coordinates, biome, source, and confidence.
3. Pick shallow POIs only
Compare biome, depth, and source date. Skip deep or weak-confidence signals until your route is ready.
4. Mark checked signals locally
Use the found action on marker details so repeat searches do not become dead clicks.
Source-backed cards and internal map actions
Early resource loop
18 resource markers are available today. Start with index-ready resource dossiers, then return to the map for thinner entries.
Shallows route context
8 Shallows-related markers give a safer first biome target than chasing source-location-specific black boxes immediately.
Black boxes later
Black boxes are progression-rich but often source-location-specific. Inspect confidence and depth before treating them as a first-session target.

What should I do first in Subnautica 2?
Open the map, search Silver or Copper, inspect Shallows-adjacent markers, and use local found progress before chasing deeper POIs.
Should I follow black box coordinates first?
Usually no. Black box entries are useful, but many are better after you understand depth, biome, and route risk.
Is this official advice?
No. It is fan-made guidance built from public references and visible confidence labels.
