![]() So all in all, the only reason to even build a Cyclops is to make that Shield upgrade for the rocket. It seems to lack too severely in being fun to use.Ĭyclops: 3 Plasteel, 3 Enameled Glass, 3 Lead, Lubricant, Lead. but again, in time it will take you to pilot that sub through the tunnels, a PRAWN can make two or more trips back and forth. The only thing that Cyclops is better at (aside from farming) is bulk storage. Sure, you will need a Moon Pool to mod your Prawn.Īll in all, almost everything Cyclops can do, Prawn suit can do better, and there are a few things only Prawn can do. The acquisition cost of upgrades favors the Cyclops somewhat - Shields come from a databox, and HR/JJ come from Vehicle Mod station, which too comes from a databox. And you can make it even better at both once you get Hull Reinforcement and Jump Jets. Prawn is much better at evading what it can't tank. Decoys work better, but you have to keep crafting them. ![]() Shields are nice, but very, very temporary. Putting it into silent running mode exacerbates existing problems of being slow and power-costly. Sure, Cyclops boasts whopping 1500 hull points against Prawn's 600 - but this is offset by Cyclops being a huge target that attracts a lot of unwanted attention. Said compensator doesn't require unlocking a vehicle mod station, but it still requires Rubies, which means the quality of materials required for Cyclops and Prawn becomes more or less equal. Running it at flanks speed hits you in the face with two problems: huge energy consumption and aggroing everything larger than a peeper.įitting Cyclops into the caves for extended runs (where its onboard farms would be useful) is a massive pain.Įnergy consumption can be mitigated if you loot an efficiency module from Aurora, but otherwise that module requires access to Blood Kelp biome for Blood Oil and Deep Mushrooms.įinally, Prawn starts at crush depth 900, while Cyclops only reaches it with Pressure compensator MK1. Mid-to-late game, once you get Jump Jets and Grapple Arm, it rivals Seamoth.Ĭyclops is understandably bulky, slow and hard to maneuver. Prawn is accepatably nimble, even in default configuration. For Prawn, you need Rubies and Gel Sacks - but those seem to be less rare than before, so you might be able to find some without going deep. The only potential problem is Lithium, which requires going to gun island or Mushroom Forest. Here, Cyclops comes out on top, since it only needs early game materials (but quite a few of them). Prawn: 2 Plasteel, 2 Aerogel, Enameled Glass, 2 Diamond, 2 Lead. You will need to hunt wrecks for various arms, but default arms are pretty useful.Ĭyclops: 3 Plasteel, 3 Enameled Glass, 3 Lead, Lubricant, Advanced Wiring Kit. ![]() Total of 9 different fragments.įor Prawn, you need total of 4 fragments, all of which can be acquired in Aurora's Prawn bay. It's more the matter of cost effectiveness.įor Cyclops you need three separate blueprints to unlock it, fragments of which are scattered all over the map (there seem to be a few in Mushroom Forest and near the gun island, but that may change).

You can also build more storage on it if you need more space to put things, because when don't you need more? Never have enough quarts. You can also grow your own food/water (as in they give you water, not they need to be planted in the water) plants that give both on it so you don't need to use as much storage space for them. It's amazing for longer runs away from your home base since you can just stash raw food and extra water inside, and cook the food up whenever you need it. I'm pretty new to the game, but I don't see why the cyclops could possibly be bad enough that it's a waste of parts. Plus it starts with a decent amount of onboard storage for you to stash extra power cells for both it and your docked vehicle, not to mention materials. The fact that you can build a fabricator, mod station, radio, and bed into a cyclops is great, on top of the fact that it works as a mobile dock for your smaller vehicles, and allows you to repair them while you move to boot. ![]() Originally posted by Netatsake:I don't understand why people dislike the cyclops aside from how difficult it is to control and how often it gets attacked. ![]()
