Subnautica 2 Shallows Biome

Small shallow-water biome for starter movement and low-risk gathering.

Biome Notes

Shallows is the safest real-biome slug in the current set, but it should still be treated as a research boundary rather than a painted map zone. Its point sample is small and shallow, which makes it best for starter movement, basic resource checks and learning how the site labels approximate evidence. It is a starting confidence zone, not a complete safety promise.
