This page serves to chronicle any significant content that has been removed from Subnautica.

Fragment Analyzer
The Fragment Analyzer was a Placeable Item that was used to decode Fragments into Blueprints. Only one fragment was needed to research a blueprint however the Fragment Analyzer could research four fragments at a time. The progress of analysis was displayed when the player looked at the Fragment Analyzer. At one point a Fragment Analyzer was pre-installed inside the Lifepod. The functionality of the Fragment Analyzer was given to the Scanner and the fragment system was reworked.

Observatory
The early Observatory was a small primitive glass box that could be constructed with the Mobile Vehicle Bay. Unlike the newer Observatory it was not a Seabase module and was instead freestanding. It had two entrances and was primarily used to observe Fauna and the environment. The only way to move it was to use Floaters.

Power Generator
The Power Generator was a Placeable Item that generated Power for seabases using Power Cells. The Power Generator had a capacity of six power cells at any time. It was very similar to the generator on the Cyclops.

Old Nuclear Reactor
The old Nuclear Generator was built outside of the Seabase and had to be supplied with raw Uranium to function.

Old Bioreactor
The old Bioreactor was built outside of a base and could only be powered using Tree Mushroom Samples and Creepvine Samples.

Specimen Analyzer
The Specimen Analyzer was a machine meant to study Eggs. It was removed when the Alien Containment and Scanner were added.

Botanical Analysis Machine
The Botanical Analysis Machine was a machine meant to study Flora, it was cut when the Scanner was a much better way to study flora.

Ion Lithium Battery
The Lithium Ion Battery  is an upgrade to the Battery and is crafted at the Modification Station. The Lithium Ion Battery holds twice as much energy as the battery. It was cut when the battery charger was a good way to save energy. It can be spawned by using command "ITEM LITHIUMIONBATTERY". The Lithium Ion Battery has been remade and is now called the Ion Battery, instead the crafting recipie has an Ion Crystal instead of Lithium.

Accumulator
The Accumulator was a machine meant to store power for Seabases. It is unknown why it was cut.
