The developers behind Subnautica 2 have recently unveiled new gameplay footage, putting a strong emphasis on the significantly improved mechanics for building and customizing underwater bases.

In their latest development diary, the creators showcased how players will construct their deep-sea habitats. A standout feature is the introduction of a new procedural building system. This innovative approach means players are no longer restricted to predetermined shapes, offering unprecedented freedom to design unique and varied architectural elements, including custom-shaped windows and other intricate details.
