Finding Marguerit Maida's Greenhouse in Subnautica Below Zero is a pivotal milestone for players seeking to progress the storyline and collect unique agricultural scannables. Unlike underwater bases, this structure is perched atop a massive iceberg, making navigation slightly trickier than standard oceanic dives. Preparing adequately with proper gear and navigational coordinates will make your trek across the frozen surface much smoother.
Prerequisites for Finding the Greenhouse
Before attempting to locate the Greenhouse, players must first trigger specific story triggers involving Marguerit Maida. You will need to meet her at her base in the Lilypad Islands and disable the Alterra satellite tower as instructed. Once these tasks are completed, Marguerit will send a radio message directing you toward her greenhouse location.
Navigating to the Iceberg Location
The Greenhouse is situated on an iceberg located roughly 1,000 meters southeast of the Drop Pod in the East Arctic biome. Searching for a distinct ice formation with a natural bridge-like arch will help narrow down the area. Ascending the snow-covered paths on foot or using a Snowfox will eventually bring you directly to the facility entry point.
What to Scan and Harvest Inside
Inside the facility, players will discover a wealth of rare flora and scannable structural fragments. Valuable crops such as Horseradish, Chinese Potato, and Spicy Fruit plants can be harvested to bolster your home base farming setup. Scanning the architectural components also unlocks decorative base building items for your own underwater habitat.
Tips for Safe Arctic Exploration
Cold weather presents a constant threat while exploring surface icebergs in Planet 4546B. Bringing thermos flasks filled with warm beverages or eating Fever Pepper crops will help manage your body temperature. Equipping a Cold Suit before embarking ensures maximum protection against freezing winds during the journey.
