Step 1
Do not treat it as starter ore
Troilite belongs to the late Alien Ruins and Power Plant route. Stabilize Tadpole travel, depth margin, repair supplies, and return path first.
Official hotfix lead
Troilite Location Route
Troilite is a late-route material tied to Axum Ingot, Metal Farm setup, and Alien Power Plant progress. Hotfix 2 officially added more Troilite resource areas in the late-game region.
Route call: reach the Alien Ruins and deep Metal Farm route first, bring Tadpole depth margin and repair supplies, and keep a seed sample before converting every Troilite into other materials.

Route plan
Step 2
Use the Metal Farm route lead
Look around the deep Metal Farm area beyond Alien Ruins. Prepare your vehicle depth limit, oxygen and return supplies before extending the trip.
Step 3
Reserve a seed sample
Keep at least one Troilite for the Metal Farm production plan instead of converting every piece into an ingot.
Step 4
Use Hotfix 2 routes
Official Hotfix 2 added more Troilite resource areas in the late-game region, so old scarcity routes should be checked against the updated build.

Why Troilite matters
Recipe
Axum Ingot planning
One Axum Ingot needs 1 Troilite, 1 Atacamite and 1 Titanium Ingot at the Processor.
High-risk bottleneck
Metal Farm setup
The Metal Farm is the practical reason Troilite matters: it can turn one scarce route item into a sustainable material plan.
Story-route context
Alien Power Plant repair
Reserve the Axum Ingot and farm-construction materials before using the remaining Troilite for optional vehicle upgrades.
Planning link
Late upgrade chain
One Entangled Power Cell or Photovoltaic Charger needs 1 Troilite. Reserve a separate piece for each craft.

Troilite FAQ
Where do I find Troilite in Subnautica 2?
Follow the late Alien Ruins to Metal Farm route. Prepare for a deep, dangerous trip and keep a Troilite sample for your production plan.
Did Hotfix 2 change Troilite?
Yes. The official Hotfix 2 note says more Troilite resource areas were added in the late-game region.
Why should I save one Troilite?
The farm construction chain consumes Troilite through Axum Ingot. Keep another sample for your production plan before spending the rest on batteries or vehicle modules.
Which crafts consume Troilite?
Axum Ingot, Entangled Power Cell and Photovoltaic Charger each use one Troilite per craft. Include the ingot consumed by a Metal Farm when budgeting a new farm.
