Where to Find Ruby in Subnautica
Rubies are mainly found on the seabed instead of harvesting nodes. They’re also very rampant near thermal vents. Subnautica has no shortage of this raw material, but stumbling upon them can be tricky early on in the game.
Here are the biomes where you can find Rubies:
- Blood Kelp Zone
- Bulb Zone
- Crash Zone Mesas
- Deep Sparse Reef
- Dunes
- Grand Reef
- Inactive Lava Zone
- Lost River
- Bone Fields
- Corridor
- Ghost Canyon
- Ghost Forest
- Tree Cove
- Junction
- Mountains Corridor
- Mountains Caves
- Sea Treader’s Tunnel Caves
- Underwater Islands Caves
A Ruby’s appearance is very noteworthy. There are four red spikes sticking out of the white mineral beneath. This flashy appearance makes the raw material fairly easy to spot.
