Tired of farming for different minerals and resources in Subnautica 2? Then you'll need the Metal Farm.

The Metal Farm is a game-changer for those who hate farming for different materials. It cuts out the stress of having to dive deep and dodge monsters to be able to get the resources you need. However, it's not that easy to obtain, and you'll need some rare materials.

Here's how to get the Metal Farm and what to do with it.

How to Unlock Metal Farm

The Metal Farm is around 2,100 meters east of the Lifepod. If you've unlocked the Alien Ruins, it's 850 meters away from that region. To reach it, it's best to have unlocked and built the Tadpole vehicle.

Once you're in the right area, you'll spot a large glowing pool, surrounded by different structures. Scan these structures to unlock the Metal Farms blueprint. Be careful - the area is guarded by Epicurean fish and a Leviathan.

How to Build the Metal Farm

You can craft the Metal Farm in the Habitat Builder. The blueprints can be accessed via the Cultivation Lab.

The Metal Farm can be built with 1 Mangalloy Ingot and 1 Axum Bacterial Culture. The latter material can be found in the same area you got the blueprints, so keep an eye out while you scan.

The Mangalloy Ingot can be manufactured in the Processor with 1 Titanium Ingot, 1 Attacamite, and 1 Troilite.

How to Use the Metal Farm

The Metal Farm is used to duplicate mineral deposits. It uses power to duplicate a material, so you'll need to use it near your base, where power is being used. Each Metal Farm uses 220 energy.

After placing a material on the Metal Farm, a countdown will appear in front of the device. This is how long you'll have to wait to get your duplicate deposit. Rare materials take more time than common ones.

Once the deposit is ready, use your Sonic Resonator to shoot the node to receive the minerals.
