Quick answer
Make Titanium Ingots by processing Titanium once the Processor is available. PC Gamer ties Titanium Ingots into later crafting chains, including Mangalloy Ingot production, so stockpile raw Titanium before converting it. Use Metal Farm and ordinary Titanium routes to build a buffer, then process only what the next recipe needs.
Field notes for ingot timing
Raw Titanium still pays the bills
Base pieces, storage, and utility crafts keep asking for loose Titanium. If your base is still expanding, do not turn the whole locker into ingots just because the Processor can.
Process against a named recipe
An ingot is less flexible than raw metal. Make it when Mangalloy or another visible chain asks for it, not when you are simply tidying a locker.
Metal Farm changes the math
Once Metal Farm scanning is handled, raw Titanium becomes easier to replace. Before that, every ingot should feel like a small decision.
Titanium Ingot processing route
Build a raw Titanium buffer
Titanium is still the foundation material for early building and repeat crafting. Before processing, make sure base modules, lockers, and tool routes are not about to stall.
Unlock and place the Processor
Titanium Ingots are a processed material. Put the Processor near storage so you can count raw input, finished ingots, and later alloy chains without walking across the base every time.
Use Metal Farm to steady supply
PC Gamer points Metal Farm scans toward a cleaner Titanium loop. Once that route is known, converting part of the stock into ingots feels much safer.
Reserve ingots for advanced chains
PC Gamer reports Titanium Ingots as part of Mangalloy Ingot crafting, which makes them part of rare-material planning later on. Do not spend them as soon as they exist.
Separate raw and processed storage
Use one locker for loose Titanium and another for ingots. Recipe math gets messy fast once processed materials start nesting.

Titanium Ingot planning table
| Crafting role | Planning note |
|---|---|
| Processed material | Used when recipes need compressed Titanium rather than loose pieces. |
| Mangalloy input | Reported as one part of the Mangalloy Ingot chain. |
| Base pacing | Do not process so much that base expansion stalls. |
| Metal Farm route | Makes raw Titanium easier to replace once scanned and understood. |
| Locker split | Separate loose Titanium, ingots, and later alloys before counts blur. |
Keep raw Titanium for base pieces
Processed ingots are useful, but raw Titanium still feeds building, storage, and utility recipes. Process only what the next recipe actually needs.
FAQ
How do you make Titanium Ingots in Subnautica 2?
Use the Processor to convert raw Titanium into Titanium Ingots once the station is available. Keep enough loose Titanium for base and tool needs before processing.
Should you process all Titanium into ingots?
No. Keep raw Titanium for base pieces and only process what your next recipe needs. Ingots are useful, but they are less flexible than loose Titanium.
What are Titanium Ingots used for?
Current PC Gamer coverage connects Titanium Ingots to later crafting chains, including Mangalloy Ingot production.
When should you start making ingots?
Start once the Processor is ready and your raw Titanium supply is stable. Metal Farm scanning makes the conversion less risky.
