Hello it's Ricardo and welcome back to subnautica the underwater survival game
on an alien world you've crashed you've got nothing well you've got a life pod
and you've got a fire extinguisher and a medikit but we're gonna build a scanner
the scanner is the quintessential tool within the game that you can scan
artifacts scan other items collect data create blueprints and then build those
items yourself with your fabricator okay so the scanner is what you need to have
now to build a scanner you need batteries
now batteries you're gonna need copper and you're going need acid mushrooms
that are like floating around you can't miss him once you've got two batteries
and you got some copper you can head on up to the fabricator and start to
fabricate a scanner but in the meantime while you're doing that you've got
certain survival things that you have to take care of I mean you gotta eat you
got to hydrate you know just cause you're swimming around in water doesn't
mean that you're not going to get thirsty and this game pays careful
attention to that now to get the materials you're looking at these lime
outcrops or sandstone outcrops that are lying around and they all furnish you
then with the material if you're lucky enough you get some silver and gold but
we're in the market for some copper and some titanium and we've been lucky so
far now the whole aspect of this game being
underwater the water does feature heavily in it and I think it's fantastic
I'm currently swimming around right with no flippers on so just basically as you
start the game so my movements are a little bit cumbersome soon as you get
flippers and the like you can start moving around quicker or so if you get
yourself an oxygen tank you can stay underwater a bit longer as well and all
these items are readily available and craftable from the fabricator once you
pick up some materials for example this bladder fish is great this will allow me
to create filtered water or food I say it's plenty of this food
swimming about I've also picked up some quartz
again copper ore which I'm gonna need for these batteries as well but
worthwhile going on a write binge to start off with to see exactly what
materials you can pick up now here's the thing keep an eye on your oxygen level
you can drown and that's just gonna spoil your day right but here we are
we're back on the old escape pod we can make a few things with that bladder fish
an air bladder for example to make things float or personal buoyancy aid we
can make food we can make a standard oxygen tank that makes us stay down a
bit quicker we can make pipes fire extinguishers and a lot so I've gone for
an oxygen tank straight off the bat so I'll be able to stay underwater a bit
longer for sustenance as well you can have water and you can have food with
titanium you can convert all the message metal storage and the Deidre's that has
come out from the ship into titanium which is always worth looking at and of
course the battery and the battery is copper and acid mushrooms you can see a
picture of the acid mushrooms there and you will have seen him in the video as I
was floating around outside collecting these things once I've got that I can
create a battery once I've created two batteries which is what I need I can
then get the option to go down to the man and create that scanner now a lot of
things were on batteries torches and the like but there's my tools and there it
is there's the scanner click so batteries and titanium will get
you that scanner thank you very much you are now armed with your first weapon
on the quest of survival that scanner the next one being the repair tool but
that would be featured another video flashlights survival knives and the like
but for that you have to collect more materials
okay I've been Ricardo and that has been a quick look at the scanner don't forget
to scan yourself and then start scanning everything and anything you come in
contact with to build that databank up thanks for watching check back soon for
more videos on subnautica as I progressed through the game thanks for
watching
