Kelp Forest

The Kelp Forest is one of the most common biome types in Subnautica. It is recognized as one of the most productive and dynamic ecosystems on the planet. Kelp Forests are also known as the home of Stalkers.

The Kelp Forest features a high density of Creepvines, and possesses a distinct green tint to the water. It is located at medium depths, and is home to mainly passive life forms, with the exceptions of Stalkers, Bleeders and Drooping Stingers. The terrain is composed of mossy ground and a sandy bottom, sometimes showing entrances to small cavern systems.

Most of the raw materials found here are at medium-level depths, with many harvesting nodes such as Limestone and Sandstone. The Creepvine Seed clusters not only provide light and a beautiful night time scenery, but are also crucial ingredients for making lubricant and silicone rubber.

There are currently six Kelp Forests on the map, some of which contain wrecks or destroyed lifepods.
