Picture Frame (Subnautica)

The Picture Frame is an item that can be placed inside the Cyclops or a Seabase module. It allows the player to display and view a slideshow of pictures. Picture Frames can be constructed with the Habitat Builder.

The player can take pictures of the environment with their PDA. The pictures can then be displayed by the Picture Frame. The Picture Frame can be set to display a single picture or display a slideshow.

Before the Picture Frame can be constructed, the player must scan a Picture Frame Fragment which can be located in certain Wrecks.

How to Use

 * Press to take a picture

 * Click the upload menu

Custom Images
While the Picture Frame is intended to display screenshots, it is also possible to have it display your own images.

To import a custom image, simply move an image into the screenshots folder. For the photo to fit in the Picture Frame properly, it must be 800x600 resolution. The screenshots folder location is different if you are playing on Windows or Mac.

Once you have imported your image, it will appear under in the "screenshots" of the PDA. You can then add it to a Picture Frame as you would any other screenshot.

Windows
On Windows, screenshot images are stored at:

(Steam game folder)\SteamApps\common\Subnautica\Subnautica_Data\SNAppData\SavedGames\slot(xxxx)\screenshots

or

(Steam game folder)\SteamApps\common\Subnautica\SNAppData\SavedGames\slot(xxxx)\screenshots

depending on which release you have.

Mac
On Mac, the location is under the Steam game folder at:

(Steam game folder)/steamapps/common/Subnautica/Subnautica.app/Contents/SNAppData/SavedGames/slot(xxxx)/screenshots

Note: Subnautica.app is the application package (this may be a bug and has been reported). To access the contents, right-click the app and choose "Show Package Contents."

Trivia

 * The bottom on the Picture Frame reads "Alterra". Alterra is a corporation also known from the game Natural Selection 2, which was developed by Unknown Worlds Entertainment.
