I'm happy that the thing at least is harder to wreck, but it seems like the trade-off is making it harder to manage power-wise - the Seamoth and Prawn at least have the moonpool to get a full charge from without a matching dock system for the Cyclops, it feels like the Lost River in particular is going to be either hard or at the very least frustrating to get through. I get that, but as it stands it feels the placeholder functionality was more usable than what we've got so far.

Also have the Seamoth with the Solar Recharger mod if I really need it. Also have 10 spare Powercells on board so I should be good for a while. But I've been using Silent Running all the time just to avoid trouble. I haven't had any problems with the Cyclops meself so far. I've only been down to the DGR and the start of the LR once, so it's not familiar territory to me.) But from what others have said, the Cyclops is very survivable now (while the PRAWN and swimming is another story). (I just finished the Aurora and will likely proceed with making a PRAWN and then with the story to the energy pulse source on Volcano Isle. That would require actually testing and I'm a ways away from that in my own game. Now they get to fleshing it out and we all get to test it so UWE can tune it.Īpparently, getting into place in the ILZ and even the ALZ doesn't demand that much of the Cyclops in the current Experimental, as wildlife aggression and collision damage have been toned down. UWE created it graphically and put it in the game with placeholder functionality. Well, this is the major functional and gameplay design phase for the Cyclops, as can be evident by the number of changes. Is it just me, or has every initial change the devs made to the cyclops (initial damage/health specs, initial silent running functions, etc) just made the thing less appealing to play?

So you're basically saying that the things we desperately need to get through the Lost River and Lava Zones are basically unusable unless you have Ion Power Cells? Or that if you don't already have a base down there, you can't recoup what the lava larva steal? There's also the shield and the sonar that can consume a lot of charge. That's plenty for the frame of the game area. The return trip had the Cyclops Engine Efficiency Module.

When the Cyclops engine starts up, the Power Cable detaches and retracts automatically.Īs it is the equivalent of a Powercell Charger, the Base-attached Power Receptacle should have a blueprint with the same ingredients as the Powercell Charger (Advanced Wiring Kit, Ruby x2, Titanium x2).Consumed 252 charge in about 5000m there and back.

When connected, the base will provide power to the Cyclops to recharge its 6 Powercells at a level equivalent to a Powercell Charger.

When the Cyclops engine is off, the player can go to the front of the Cyclops, grab the Power Cable, and pull it like an air Pipe and connect it to a Base-attached Power Receptacle.

Add to the Cyclops external front a Power Cable, similar to the existing Pipe.Add a Base-attached Power Receptacle, similar to the existing Base-attached Air Pump.Would mean that parked on the surface, wouldn't have to worry about low power use, but outside of that, things would be the same.Īnother possibility, though with a greater gameplay and programming impact, would be to add an external power option for the Cyclops. Effectively the same but with less admin overhead. What I would like would be a Cyclops mod for Solar Charging equivalent to that of the Seamoth's. In the first part of it, I was using the Seamoth Solar Charger to recharge Powercells, which must have added at least 4 more Powercells worth of charge. Just went on a long loop with the Cyclops and used up over 8 spare Powercells. Solar Power has been suggested before, but I'd like to add my vote to the idea.
