Subnautica: Below Zero - Office Chair Blueprint

Admin October 13, 2026

In Subnautica: Below Zero, to obtain the blueprint for the office chair, you need to scan the physical object at the Delta Station. Here are the specific steps:

1. Locate the Target Area: Delta Station

Delta Station is an important facility that can be explored early in the game, located in the central-northern part of the map. Players need to reach this station using thrusters or vehicles. After entering the building, pay attention to the directional signsโ€”the target room is on the left side of the station. You can use the building structure or map markers to assist in locating it. This room is an independent enclosed space equipped with a basic workbench and office furniture, with the office chair being the core scanning object.

2. Scan the Physical Object to Obtain the Blueprint

After entering the left-side room, players need to switch to the scanner tool (the default shortcut key is the right mouse button). Approach the office chair and hold down the right mouse button to initiate the scanning animation. Maintain close proximity until the progress bar is complete. Once the scan is successful, the system will display a prompt saying 'Office Chair Blueprint Unlocked', and the item will be automatically added to the player's construction menu. The scanning process does not consume any resources, but you need to be aware of the surrounding environment's safety to avoid interference from hostile creatures.

3. Blueprint Usage and Construction Restrictions

The office chair is a decorative piece of furniture. Once unlocked, it can be used in the base or vehicles. Construction requires basic materials (such as titanium, copper, etc.), and the specific recipe can be viewed in the construction menu. It should be noted: Although other room blueprints are distributed in areas like the Green Island and the Mushroom Forest Caves as mentioned in the reference information, they do not explicitly include design plans for the office chair. Therefore, Delta Station is the only confirmed source for obtaining the blueprint in the current version.

4. Additional Notes: Repeated Blueprint Scanning and Version Differences

If a player has scanned the office chair but has not unlocked the blueprint, it may be due to game version or mod compatibility issues. It is recommended to check the game's integrity or refer to the official update logs. Additionally, the scanner cannot work on damaged or non-physical objects, so ensure that the target office chair is intact and in an interactable state.

By following these steps, players can efficiently obtain the office chair blueprint and enrich their base construction options. This design reflects the game's balanced mechanism of environmental exploration and resource collection, encouraging players to delve into different areas to unlock diverse content.
