Moonpool (Subnautica)

The Moonpool is a Seabase module. It is constructed with the Habitat Builder and its main function is the docking and undocking of the Seamoth and the PRAWN Suit.

A power source is needed to be able to dock vehicles. The vehicles will also be charged from the base's Energy if in Freedom Mode, Survival Mode, or Hardcore Mode, at a cost of 200 Energy to completely fill a depleted Power Cell. The vehicle's Power Cells will be recharged at a much faster rate than if one were to use a Power Cell Charger.

The Moonpool also allows the player to access their base via two ladders on either end.

The Vehicle Modification Station can only be constructed in the Moonpool. It allows the player to customize their docked vehicle.

To build the Moonpool it requires 2 Fragments, these can be found in Wrecks

Raw Materials
A Moonpool requires 4 Titanium Ingots, 4 Lubricants and 1 Advanced Wiring Kit to construct. The following list details all the raw materials needed to build 1 Moonpool from scratch. Refine 40 Titanium into 4 Titanium Ingots. Refine 12 Creepvine Seed Clusters into 4 Lubricant. Refine 2 Table Coral Samples, 1 Quartz and 1 Silver Ore into 1 Computer Chip. Refine 2 Gold Ore and 1 Computer Chip into 1 Advanced Wiring Kit. Then follow the recipe given above.
 * 40 Titanium
 * 12 Creepvine Seed Cluster
 * 2 Brown Table Coral Sample
 * 2 Gold Ore
 * 1 Quartz
 * 1 Silver Ore

Trivia

 * The fragments for the Moonpool are all found below 200 meters, past the Seamoth's crush depth, making it one of the more difficult to acquire blueprints as the Seamoth cannot be upgraded without the Moonpool. There are two solutions to this problem; the first is to go the the Grand Reef wreck and park your Seamoth above the wreck, then Seaglide the remaining distance. The other solution is to acquire the Cyclops blueprint (as all fragments can be found above 200 meters) and use the Cyclops, as its Crush Depth is much deeper.
