Search and site terms

Use the glossary when the search phrase is broader than the guide title.

This page explains the words players search for, the labels used across the site, and the trust cues that appear on guide pages. Open it when the question is about meaning, not yet about one exact route.

Use this page before guessing what a term means

Open the Glossary when a term such as Early Access, route, patch sensitivity, build cue, or shared progress sounds familiar but still is not specific enough to choose the right page. If the topic is already clear, move straight into Guides, Database, or Tools.

Subnautica 2.0

Usually a broad search phrase, not a precise feature name. On this site it is routed into release-status, news, or guide lookup depending on what the player actually needs.

Early Access

Use this when the question is whether the game is available now, how current official wording reads, or whether patch-sensitive advice may have drifted.

Wiki-style lookup

This means a reader already knows the topic and wants the right shelf, not a generic article feed. On this site that usually means the Database hub.

Patch sensitivity

A trust cue on guide pages that tells readers how likely a page is to drift after map, balance, recipe, or co-op changes.

Core terms

These are the words that shape most guide and tool decisions.

Term Meaning here Best next page
Route A repeatable path with entry landmarks, a clear target, and an obvious turn-back point. Map or safe biome guides
Blocker The single problem stopping progress right now, such as oxygen, Copper, a bad base spot, or messy co-op roles. Guides Hub
Build cue A guide-page label that says what kind of live build context the page is written against. Version History
Platform cue A guide-page label that tells readers whether the wording is currently framed around PC or co-op behavior. Version History
Shared progress Co-op decisions about hosts, materials, build order, and session-end handoff so the save actually moves forward. Shared progress
Patch triage The order for checking which pages are most likely to be stale after a game update. Patch triage
Material priority Choosing the next useful batch by payoff, not by habit or by the longest shopping list. Material priority
First base window The point where a base shortens trips and stabilizes systems instead of only adding clutter. First base location

Search wording

Use these handoffs when the search is still vague.

Good next clicks

Move from broad terms into the right room

  • Guides Hub if the blocker is known but the page order is not.
  • Database if the term already names the topic.
  • Tools if the current session needs a checklist or planner.
  • News if the player suspects a patch changed the old answer.

Support pages

These pages explain why the site uses certain labels

  • Version History explains site build changes and support expansion.
  • About explains the editorial direction.
  • Editorial Policy explains corrections, source order, and maintenance logic.
  • Community explains public reports and contribution paths.

Glossary help

What this glossary should do before the search gets vague.

The glossary is there to translate loose search phrases into the right room. It should help readers move from the word they typed to the guide page that actually solves the problem.

Quick answer
  • Use it when the search term is broader than the guide title.
  • Use the linked room once the term turns into a real blocker.
  • Prefer the shortest useful next click.
Common mistakes
  • Staying in the glossary after the topic is already clear.
  • Treating synonyms as separate problems when they really point to the same page.
  • Using a glossary entry instead of the actual guide or database shelf.
Next move
  • Open Database for shelf-style lookup.
  • Open Guides Hub for the full route desk.
  • Open Early Access when the phrase is really about status or release wording.
