Lithium (Subnautica)

Deposit=

Lithium is a raw material found in many Biomes. Lithium can be found in single form both above and below water, as well as in shale outcrops.

It can also be found as a large resource deposit, they are especially plentiful in the Lost River, Mountains, and the Mountain Island's caves. They can sometimes also be found in the Mushroom Forest.

Its main use is to create the high strength Lithium/Titanium alloy known as plasteel.

Trivia

 * In real life Lithium is very low on the Mohs Scale of hardness only scoring a 0.6 which would barely hold, especially at great depths.
 * Lithium is also known to react intensely with water, forming lithium hydroxide and highly flammable hydrogen, effectively dissolving the lithium.
 * Scientifically speaking, the lithium could have formed an oxide layer to protect it from water.
