Players get the blueprint for silicone rubber as soon as they enter the drop pod in Subnautica: Below Zero. To craft it; however, they will need some Creepvine Seed Cluster.

Creepvine Seed Cluster can be obtained quite easily in the Arctic Kelp Forest Biome. This is fairly close to the drop pod. It can also be acquired from Sea Monkeys that provide resources to players.

Creepvine Seed Cluster glows underwater. This bioluminescent raw material is easy to spot and easy to harvest. Just exit the drop pod, swim to the left, and dive down around 200 meters to find the Biome and the material.

Creepvine Seed Cluster can be harvested by simply interacting with it. There is no need for a special tool to gather it. Once obtained, head to the Fabricator and use the Creepvine Seed Cluster to craft silicone rubber.

After silicone rubber is obtained in Subnautica: Below Zero, there are a ton of things that require it to be created. In the Fabricator, it is needed for:

• Survival Knife
• Air Bladder
• Repair Tool
• Fins
• Power Cell
• Ion Power Cell
• Rebreather
• Mineral Detector
• Spy Pengling
• Tether Tool

In the Habitat Builder, it is required to craft the Bulkhead. In the Modification Station, silicone rubber is required to upgrade the Fins to Ultra Glide Fins. This just shows how important it is in Subnautica: Below Zero.
