The cruising speed is very fast, so with well-placed nav-beacons you can zip around at surface-level and then just dive straight. Driving it properly is a challenge in its own right, but with a little practice and the sonar-upgrade it should become really easy. Maybe I should have put a spare in the Time Capsule. Originally posted by redeyedraven: The Cyclops is a powerful asset at your disposal. Unfortunately, after pretty much beating the game without ever building the Cyclops, I had to build one anyway just to fabricate the shield generator for the Neptune.

I slipped right between all the Lava Larvae and walked under the Sea Dragon's nose. So I could just make two trips for my two vehicles, and it also made the Lost River generally easier to explore.Īs for the lava zones, the Thermal Reactor and Jump Jets made traversing them by Prawn alone much easier than trying to lumber around in the Cyclops. If youre saying it 'exploded' because its sideways, theres plenty of other things that can cause a sideways Cyclops. The second was tricky, but I found that three well-placed Exterior Growbeds full of Brain Coral were enough to get me from the Tree Cove to the top of the Blood Kelp Trench via Seaglide, and I had a base there already. Most of the running back was just for stuff I'd forgotten, which wasn't the fault of having no Cyclops. I typically had to make a second trip for the seeds, but could have done without that.

I cleared my inventory and carried starter supplies to get new bases built, then built them out using mostly local materials. I was streaming at the time so will be uploading the clip. Carrying the stuff for a new base, bringing vehicles to the Tree Cove (I like to build a base there), and carrying the Prawn into the lava zones.Įliminating the first was mildly challenging. Want to know something even weirder I was about to get off the planet via the rocket and when I realized I could put something in the time capsule, I left the rocket and the entire platform and me were thrown from the center of the map clear to the Aurora. There are three purposes for which I've driven the Cyclops around. It turned out to be easy until it was impossible. Just completed a run of Subnautica in which I never built the Cyclops.
