PDA



The PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), also sometimes called the Survival PDA, is a multipurpose device that the player keeps with them at all times.

 * View their log messages PDA Log Icon.png
 * View their Databank PDA Encyclopedia Icon.png
 * View all received Time Capsules PDA TimeCapsule Icon.png

The PDA's AI keeps the player informed of their health status and will alert the player when the player has 30 or 10 O2 points remaining, or if the player is getting close to dehydration or malnutrition. It also gives useful information to the player when they enter new areas or find new materials.

Abandoned PDAs can be found inside and around Degasi Seabases, the Aurora, Destroyed Lifepods, and some Wrecks. These can be collected to download their log messages.

Trivia

 * In an old developer doc, the Minimap was a planned feature. It would track the player and terrain. This was removed long before the playable version of Subnautica was released.
