I shipped a small fan-made guide utility for Subnautica 2 players who search for Tadpole unlock steps, fragments, upgrades, and related route notes.
Link: Subnautica 2 Tadpole guide
The site is intentionally narrow. Instead of trying to be a full interactive map, it focuses on one player task: "I want to understand the Tadpole path quickly without reading a long guide."
A few design choices:
- quick answer first, then details
- checklist-style sections for unlock / fragments / upgrades
- spoiler-safe notes for players who do not want everything revealed at once
- visible fan-made / no-affiliation wording
- no login, no payment, no official assets
The product is built as a lightweight content utility with Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, and Cloudflare Workers.
The hard part is not the tech stack. It is keeping the page useful while Subnautica 2 is still in Early Access and information can change. The page therefore avoids pretending to be an official database and keeps source/confidence wording conservative.
I am watching whether players prefer this focused utility over a longer general article or a full map tool.
If you build small SEO/content tools, I would appreciate feedback on:
- Is the Tadpole-only scope too narrow, or is that a better fit for search intent?
- Would a compact checklist beat a longer article for this type of player query?
- Is spoiler control worth keeping for a guide page like this?
This is a fan-made project and is not affiliated with Unknown Worlds, Krafton, or the Subnautica team.
