Working out how to investigate the Tadpole Pens in Subnautica 2 is the game’s first proper puzzle, as you venture into the area’s Hot Caves to recover the door code that’ll let you inside. NOA doesn’t seem to send you to the Tadpole Pens until you’ve found the other black boxes, at least that’s how…
