Both the Prawn Suit Mk 1 Depth Module and the Sea Truck Mk 2 Depth Module need Synthetic Fibers to be crafted at the Vehicle Upgrade Console. If suits don't interest you, but you'd like to u pgrade your Depth Modules, Spiral Plants are still a necessity. There also isn't a huge demand for Synthetic Fiber in Subnautica: Below Zero, but the things it does go into are some of the most useful items in the game.įor those looking to change into the Stillsuit for recycled water or the Reinforced Divesuit and Reinforced Gloves, Synthetic Fiber made from Spiral Plants is a must. It is a somewhat expensive craftable that can be tricky to get your hands on the required items. You will also need to have a ruby to go with each plant clipping to make the material. Making Synthetic Fiber isn't just the Spiral Plant and a fabricator, though. Lemon balm is compatible with almost all. Good companion plants and what not to plant next to lemon balm. There is only one true use for Spiral Plants in the game - making Synthetic Fiber. It prefers to grow in the middle height of the spiral. Spiral Plants can be found down at depths below 300m, so should your plan be to stick inside your Sea Truck as much as possible, grabbing the Mk 2 Depth Module is ideal. That means a minimum of a Mk 1 Depth Module is needed when taking the Sea Truck, but it's better to have the Mk 2 Depth Module. The plants dwell within the water normally below 200m. Now you can use just a Seaglide or your own swimming power to get to the Spiral Plants, but a Sea Truck is recommended to make it faster and easier. Each Spiral Plant can take 2 hits from a knife and yield 2 samples for you to take with you, but only if you have it ready to go. It is needed to harvest any samples from the plants in question. If you don't have a knife on your hot bar, in your inventory, or just hanging around in a storage module somewhere, MAKE ONE.

Still, having the knowledge of the bare minimum as well as the extras to make this job easier is not something to forgo.Įveryone should have a knife when they set off to get some Spiral Plants. There isn't a lot that most folks won't have at their disposal by the time they begin hunting for this resource. Lucky bamboo plants are hearty, but they can become infected if you dont clean the shears.

No sense in knowing where they are if they are impossible to get to or to harvest. 1.Disinfect pruning shears before you start trimming the plant. Before you set off for the elusive plants you seek, gear up properly.
