There are several advanced materials in the world of Subnautica: Below Zero that only becomes available to you after you’ve acquired a specific resource. The blueprint for the material appears in your database once the resource is picked up but the trouble is players don’t know where that resource is. <\/p>\n

This is the case for Aerogel, which is an essential ingredient for several high-tier upgrades in Below Zero, like a Prawn Suit arm. While it’s only crafted through the standard Fabricator, its blueprint needs to be found in an area where the sub doesn’t necessarily shine. <\/p>\n

Here’s how you can find what you need to make Aerogel in Subnautica: Below Zero<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Crafting Aerogel in Subnautica: Below Zero<\/h2>\n

The resource you need to acquire in order to receive the blueprint for Aerogel is the Gel Sack. A dome-shaped plant with pink sacs on it, the Gel Sack is classified as both flora and food in Below Zero. It can be planted in an out-of-base garden, which is great for players that will require a lot of it. <\/p>\n

To find your first Gel Sack, we recommend heading down to the deep part of the Twisty Bridges or the Lilypad Islands. You won’t really be able to acquire a Gel Sack within your first few hours but once you have a high-capacity oxygen tank or a SeaTruck, then you’ll be able to get to the resource no problem.<\/p>\n

Once you have one, the blueprint for Aerogel will appear in your database and you can craft one at a Fabricator. You’ll need one Gel Sack for each time you craft Aerogel, so make sure to stock up while you’re near a ton of the plant. You’ll also need one ruby, which is relatively easy to find once you begin exploring Subnautica: Below Zero. <\/p>\n
