✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- 3,505 endorsements — this mod is clearly trusted by the Subnautica community.
- 109,843 downloads, so it's widely used and battle-tested.
- Last updated May 2023, recent enough for the current game version.
⚠️ Cons

💡 Beginner Tips
- Subnautica mods usually need QModManager installed first — grab it from Nexus and follow its setup.

- Test the mod on a new creative save before loading your main survival world to see how it feels.
