How To Get Celestine in Subnautica 2

You can find Celestine deposits underwater at a depth of approximately 250-300 meters. One of the locations for this ore is the Alien Ruins, located around 1400 meters to the east of the Life Pod.
Once you are near this location, dive down into the nearby trenches, and you will spot some silver-grayish crystals. Break these using the Charged Blast from the Sonic Resonator to collect them.
Note: Don’t swim outside your vehicle for too long, as you might encounter dangerous predators lurking in the area. If you do not feel confident, maneuver your ship as close to the ores as possible, so you get to spend the least amount of time outside.

How To Use Celestine in Subnautica 2

The first instance of Celestine’s use will likely be for one of two things: Strontium or a Modification Station. Strontium is an important resource that is used in making many important items for progression. Moreover, the Modification Station lets you create upgrades for your vehicles. So, Celestine becomes a crucial part of making progress.
However, even outside of these items, several items need Celestine. They are:
| Item | Station | Celestine Needed |
|---|---|---|
| Axum Pot | Habitat Builder | 1 |
| Axum Street Lamp | Habitat Builder | 2 |
| Axum Wall Lamp | Habitat Builder | 1 |
| Modification Station | Habitat Builder | 2 |
| Strontium | Processor | 2 |
| Tadpole Depth Module Mk. 1 | Modification Station | 3 |
The first three are not the most useful items, being mostly decorative in nature. However, the latter three items are undoubtedly the more useful of the bunch. Therefore, you should consider saving Celestine for these three items, and only crafting the pots and lamps later on.
