Vehicles are machines for exploration and transportation available to the player after acquiring their fragments. Vehicles are divided into deployables, which are crafted using the Fabricator and are carried by the player, and vessels, which are crafted using the Mobile Vehicle Bay and are piloted.

Future Plans
- One of the ideas listed for possible implementation after release is a jetpack.[1]
- While not technically a vehicle, another potentially planned mode of transportation is teleportation technology.[2]
Trivia
- The original vehicle plans for Subnautica saw the player have access to two small subs, two medium-sized subs, and one or two large subs. Concept art can be found for these other submarines. Ultimately, the Cyclops, prioritized for its "civilian" look, took up so much time that more subs that didn't truly add new gameplay were considered a bad investment of resources and were scrapped.[3]
