Subnautica 2 Tadpole Guide

The Tadpole blueprint, Vehicle Fabricator, depth modules, chassis upgrades and docking notes are organized into one route from recipe to full vehicle planning.

Tadpole is the core vehicle topic: players usually want the recipe, upgrades and depth module requirements.
The Tadpole blueprint has its own recipe page; this guide connects Vehicle Fabricator, depth modules and chassis upgrades.
Tadpole pens and code questions are not confirmed in the local data yet, so no code is listed until it can be verified.
