Evolution is key.

The Modification Station allows us to improve our tools in Subnautica 2 vastly, and we can take its help to explore the late-game content in the current early access build. We can use the station to improve our Tadpole submarine by finding the upgrades. We can also use it to upgrade tools like the Sonic Resonator.
The first task is to unlock the blueprint.
Modification Station blueprint location in Subnautica 2
To unlock the Modification Station, you’ll have to scan just one blueprint. You can find the blueprints at multiple locations, but I have stated the easiest one in this guide. To reach this location, you won’t need any advanced tools. However, I recommend using the Wakemaker to cover the distance more quickly.
Head 1300m from the lifepod to the east. Stick to East on the compass, and you’ll find the Alien Ruins. You’ll find the Research Outpost at about 140m depth (to the left of the large alien tower at the location). If you’ve dived too deep, just use the space bar to elevate yourself.
Head in through the entrance, and you’ll find the Engine Efficiency upgrade on your right. Next, go in through the main tunnel and turn right. You’ll find the Modification Station; complete the scan, and the blueprint will be available.
How to use Modification Station in Subnautica 2
Once you’re back to your habitat, you can now place the Modification Station using your Habitat Builder (assuming you have the resources). Open the station, and you’ll find a list of all the available modifications. All modifications have certain costs in terms of resources.
The modification will be automatically applied once you craft it using the Modification Station.
