Picture Frame (Subnautica)

The Picture Frame is a decorative Miscellaneous Item that is constructed with the Habitat Builder and placed inside a Cyclops or a Seabase module. It allows the player to display pictures that they have taken with their PDA. The Picture Frame can be set to display either a single picture or a slideshow.

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

How to Use

 * 1) Set up a photo shot.
 * 2) Press  to take a picture.
 * 3) Face the Picture Frame and press . This will open the PDA to the "Photo Manager" tab.
 * 4) Select the desired photo and choose "upload." The photo will appear in the Picture Frame 's display.

Custom Images
While the Picture Frame is intended to display screenshots taken in-game, it is also possible for the player to have it display their own images.

To import a custom image, simply move the image into the game's screenshots folder. The folder's location depends on whether Subnautica is installed on Windows or Mac (see below). For the photo to fit in the Picture Frame properly, it must have a 16:9 aspect ratio (1920x1080 resolution, for example).

Once the player has imported their image, it will appear in-game in the "Photo Manager" tab of the PDA. The player can then display it on a Picture Frame the same way they would display an in-game 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 the player has.

Mac
