📋 About This Mod
Build this crate with Habitat Builder anywhere outside and under the water. Blueprint unlocked when you unlock Air Bladder (when you pick up Bladderfish). Storage size is configured in config.json in mod folder. ItemID: "FloatingCargoCrate".
Update (1. 1. 0): Now you can attach beacons to crates. You need to be close enough to the crate with beacon in your hands (see screenshots). You can rename these beacons and pick them up just like regular beacons.
Also, crate has two additional features: 1) its mass is changing based on how much items in the crate and 2) crate slightly and randomly moves in vertical direction. You can turn these features off in config.json.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid endorsement-to-download ratio (329 endorsements out of 9,425 downloads) shows players actually like it.
- The ability to move storage with the Propulsion Cannon is a unique convenience not in the base game.
- Simple concept that fits seamlessly into Subnautica's building mechanics.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in September 2020 — might not work with the latest game patches.
- Only adds one item, so it's a minor quality-of-life tweak rather than a content overhaul.
For Subnautica builders who want a large, movable storage option without messing with base clutter. Skip if you're looking for major content additions or if you're on a newer game version where compatibility is uncertain.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Habitat Builder and Propulsion Cannon blueprints unlocked before trying to use this mod.
- Since the mod is from 2020, check the Subnautica modding community for any compatibility patches if you're on a recent version.
- Use the Propulsion Cannon to reposition the crate if it blocks a doorway or corridor.
