What Is a Tadpole?

Tadpole	Recipe

The Tadpole is a small and agile submersible. Its compact size allows it to navigate tight caves and narrow passages with ease.

Tadpoles Can Be Customized

The Tadpole can be modded with specialized chassis modules to enhance its capabilities. There are two chassis available in the Early Access build: the Scout Ray Chassis, which grants the Tadpole increased speed, and the Haul Chassis, which adds passenger seating and expands storage space.

Subnautica 2 Vehicle Tips

How to Get Vehicles

Scan Three Tadpole Fragments

To get your first vehicle, you need to unlock and craft the Tadpole first. Begin by scanning three Tadpole Fragments to unlock both the Tadpole blueprint and the Vehicle Fabricator blueprint.

Unlock Upgrade Blueprints

To unlock related upgrades, you will need to locate the Scout Ray Chassis or Tadpole Haul Chassis and scan their vehicle fragments. These chassis upgrades can be crafted later to improve your Tadpole's maximum depth, more armor, or engine efficiency.

Build a Moonpool and Docking Station

After unlocking the necessary blueprints, build a Moonpool and attach a Vehicle Docking station to your base. The Moonpool provides the foundation needed to place vehicle-related structures, while the Docking station allows you to store and recharge your vehicles.

Safe Storage for Submersibles

Building a docking station is a convenient way to maintain your vehicles and ensure they are always ready for deeper exploration and resource-gathering trips.

Maintain Vehicles with Ease

By docking a submersible such as the Tadpole, you can restore its power, keep it protected when not in use, and access it quickly before your next expedition.

Install a Vehicle Fabricator

The Vehicle Fabricator is a crafting station used to craft underwater vehicles and their upgrades.

Craft Vehicles to Explore Further

Craft the Tadpole

Once you have gathered all the required materials and built the necessary structures, use the Vehicle Fabricator to craft the Tadpole.
