W makes the character move in the direction the characters face is facing. so spacebar makes the character move in the direction the top of the character's head is facing. When swimming its simple just imagine that your character's head turns to look anywhere the you make it look. (the pda is what subnautica calls the inventory.) also when you find abandoned PDAs they go into this tab so you can play them and listen to them. in the data logs when you scan something the data goes here so that you can read and learn about the thing you just scanned. so you can go into the voice logs to replay the conversation. so for example if you got up to get a snack but while you where gone you missed a conversation.

basically when dialoge happens it shows up in here. in the beacon managment tab you can show / hide these markers along with being able to change their color. when you get far away from the beacon you can always see a marker telling where your base is. for example if you build your base and leave a beacon so you remember where it is. a beacon is a visible indicator on the hud that appears when you get far away from the location it comes from. in this tab you can customize beacon colors. in this tab you can scroll through to see all the blueprints you have unlocked. to assign an item to the hotbar hover your mouse over it in the inventory then press any key from 1 to 5. The first tab is the main inventory where you equip clothes hold items and equip stuff. in the inventory there are five tabs at the top the first tab ( i'm listing them off from left to right) Ok inside the inventory things can get a bit confusing but as long as you follow along you'll do just fine. Escape to pause and Tab to open inventory. left click to pick things up/interact with things. W A S D to move around Spacebar to jump and mouse to look around, left shift to run.
