How do I refuel/recharge the Seamoth?

[alicia7tommy]

I'm super new to this game and I can't seem to find a way to recharge the seamoth.

dock it on a moonpool or cyclops or replace the powercell on its butt

u can also recharge the power cell in a charger made especially for them

For both of these, the powercells are easy to make, follow the blueprint instructions on the PDA, you need two cooper, four acid mushrooms and one creepvine seed to make a power cell.

Convert the copper and acid mushrooms into batteries by the replicator and the same with the seeds into silicone rubber, and then convert the two batteries along with one silicone rubber into a power cell.

If you want: Double the copper and acid mushrooms only for a second powercell as you still have one piece of rubber left.

That is the easy way to go about replacing power cells.

you need to find moonpool fragments around some large wrecks and scan then to get the pda to complete a blueprint, i think you need 3 scans of three fragments. when you have it, the resource cost isn't too great but you'd likely be search around for titanium, lead, creepvine seed and the like to make it.

A moonpool by itself without power won't recharge that power cell so make sure to stick on some solar panels if you are near the surface on it and wait for them to fill the power meter up (Solar panels don't work at night).

The power cell recharger is a bit more tricky because of the resources you will need to make one rather than finding the blueprints for them, for someone starting out it might be easier building a few power cells and leave them in locker for use at another time and those empty powercells can replace the good ones in the locker, the reason will become clear later on.

if you know where you can find resources (check the subnautica wiki and player made maps to help you find your location and it can be very helpful to finding the biome and search for those resources), you can build those power cell rechargers and any dead ones you have left over can be recharged at the docks thatopen up looking for empty power cells.

when it comes around to the cyclops later on those spare power cells would be handy to have until you can find another means to replace them. I would suggest you keep those rechargers at a base with constant power generation because if you do it by cyclops, it will drain the power cells it already carries, it isn't really worth the effort.

Don't do what i did and think a battery will do, needs to be a power cell. Got stranded in the underground river cave and had to swim all the way back to my base to make a powercell.
