Biomes

Subnautica features a wide range of Biomes to explore and coexist with. They all represent miniature ecosystems from the real world.

There is a very diverse range of Biomes, from the vibrant Kelp Forest to the sizzling depths of the enigmatic Lava Lakes. Each Biome contains its own set of Flora and Fauna to discover and resources to harvest.

Trivia
