How to Get Fibrous Pulp in Subnautica 2
Fibrous Pulp is harvested by cutting underwater plants with a Survival Multitool. The blueprint is automatically unlocked from the start. You need x3 Titanium to craft it.
Once you have the Survival Multitool, equip it and use it on any of the plants listed below. Fibrous Pulp is one of the most abundant resources that you can get in the game.
Where to Find Fibrous Pulp
| Where to Harvest Fibrous Pulp |
|---|
Whip Gorgon Found directly beneath the Lifepod and throughout the shallow starting area. Looks like thick red tufts of tentacle grass that blends in with unharvestable seagrass nearby, so look carefully. Tips glow bright purple at night. |
Cradle Shootroot Found on sandy floors and plant-filled areas. Remove the orange Lucifer Rotsac ball first, then cut the plant. The Lucifer Rotsac glows neon yellow at night, making the plant easy to spot in the dark. |
Curtain Gorgon Mushroom-like growth usually found in abundance near coral domes near the Lifepod. |
Feather Kelp Dark pink plants that usually grow on cave floors. |
Macaron Sponge Found in the Shallows and Camp One. Can also be farmed on a Growbed for a passive supply. |
Tallshroom Tall mushroom-like plant usually found on the floor of the hot caves. |
How to Farm Fibrous Pulp
The most efficient way to gather large amounts of Fibrous Pulp is to farm it in a Growbed. The best plant to choose for this is the Macaron Sponge.
| Tip! | Another good plant to cultivate is Cradle Shootroot since it will also give you Lucifer Rotsacs. |
