Quick answer
Where to start looking for Lithium
Lithium candidates spread across deeper or more dangerous terrain, so use the route with the lowest practical depth first, not simply the nearest horizontal point.

Subnautica 2 Lithium locations route planner Li
High-energy batteries and plasteel; gates several blueprints. Use this page as a route planner: compare the closest tracked Lithium candidates by distance from the Lifepod, target depth, confidence, and EA build before committing to a run.
Lithium rows are treated as route-planning candidates until fresh current-build evidence promotes them.

Best Lithium route from Lifepod
Start with The Great Jaw. From the Lifepod it is about 350m S , target depth -105m (Descend 102m), confidence C4.
Estimated from public distance/bearing and screenshot depth. Bring Sonic Resonator and leave room for knockback.
3 visible candidates for this resource; 1 currently tagged C4/C5. The closest row is The Great Jaw Approach at 323m, but the best route favors stronger evidence over raw distance.
Route planning
Distance is not the whole route
If you are under-equipped, compare Coral Gardens against deeper trench candidates and avoid turning the run into a long deep-cave detour.
Before you dive
Check depth, tools, and confidence
Lithium routes can overlap with larger creature zones. Keep the page spoiler-light by using confidence, depth, and distance instead of revealing every nearby threat.
Best for players who need advanced crafting materials but still want a controlled, low-spoiler route.

FAQ
Where do I find Lithium in Subnautica 2?
Lithium candidates are sorted by horizontal distance from the Lifepod with depth listed separately. Because deeper-cave routes can shift during Early Access, use the confidence label and report link to help promote confirmed rows and retire stale ones.
How do I read these coordinates in-game?
Pause the game and copy the raw XYZ values shown in the lower-right HUD. Public map data indicates raw X is east/west, raw Y is north/south, and raw Z is depth. The homepage Navigator converts those raw values relative to the Lifepod before calculating from-here distance and bearing.
A Lithium node moved between EA builds — what now?
Each row shows the EA build/date currently attached to that coordinate candidate. If you find a moved or missing node in a newer build, click "Report" on the row — the form pre-fills the POI ID, page URL, and current coordinates so you only have to add the corrected XYZ and (ideally) a screenshot.
