Subnautica

Do you like the game but find it hard to play because of UI/UX frustrations? Start here!

### This is minimalist pack of mods that improve Subnautica's usability without adding ANY new features - perfect for a first-time playthrough!

***

# Why?

I'm a stickler for enjoying games "as the developers intended", especially when playing through it for the first time. But when I first played Subnautica, I was constantly frustrated by usability issues that ruined the core gameplay. I got SO ANNOYED, but I could tell there was a good game hiding behind those issues, so instead of quitting, I turned to mods. But every single "Vanilla Plus" collection out there added new features! So I went hunting & found mods that ONLY improved usability, and now I'm having a blast under the sea!

I made this minimalist collection to help others - if this helped you too, let me know!

***

# Includes

- Snap-To-Grid when building *(can also hold Left Ctrl / Left Alt for fine control)*
- Unpin recipes more easily *(just Right-Click)*
- See container fullness just by looking at em
- Improved readability for scanner blips, & show/hide with a key *(press L)*
- Search blueprints, & see more on screen at once
- Swap batteries more easily *(Shift+R / Ctrl+R when holding a tool)*
- Faster game launch & loading time
- Look around while piloting, without rotating vehicle *(hold down Left-Alt)*
- More quick slots *(optional, in case you find that controversial)*
- Plus the libraries/etc that these mods require *(BepInEx, Configuration Manager, Nautilus)*

Note: Many of these are also **configurable**, either via a "Mods" tab in the Options menu, or via a hidden configuration menu *(press F5 to see it, click away to hide it)*

***

# Compatibility

- Collection made for vanilla Subnautica in 2024 (no legacy build, no QMods, no SMLHelper)
- Every mod was researched to make sure there were no scary issues (save corruption / item loss / etc.)
- Every mod was extensively tested to confirm it works on Windows PC with mouse & keyboard

*I found many mods that failed these checks - only ones that passed were included in this pack.*

***

# Usability fixes I'm still looking for

- Bulk-transfer items across inventories (to avoid carpal tunnel from clicking every item individually)
- Clarify why I can't build things when it looks like they fit (either add more visual clarity, or fix those weird random dead zones)

*If you find mods that do these without adding other features, please leave a comment so I can include them!*

Usability Improvements ONLY

ONLY mods that improve usability, meaning UI/UX improvements and NO NEW FEATURES. Perfect for a first-time playthrough!
