#Subnautica cyclops go down upgrade

The Shield is a very important Cyclops upgrade for this reason.)Ībilities: Leave these off, always. Shutting down the Engine does indeed drop your noise output to zero, but if a Leviathan is already charging you, it won’t save you. (This is copy/pasted/edited from an older comment I made that is only about power consumption. Hopefully these tips save a few people's subs. There are too many threads of people having their cyclops significantly damaged that could have been easily avoided with a single button press. If you get hit, turn off the engine, let it go away, go repair. There's probably a lot more stuff that I haven't written down, but the most important one here is definitely Engine Off. If something doesn't appear on the radar, it can't damage you, and you can ignore it.

Get ready to go fix a breach if you choose not to shield. Turn off your engine to prevent further attacks after it hits, or use the shield if you really want to. If it's red, the creature has noticed you and is on its way to attack. Speaking of the radar, the blip color means something. The shield is almost worthless, breaches are fast to fix but if you have plenty of energy or are in the ALZ with a Thermal Upgrade, you can save the time of going out to fix a breach by popping the shield if the blip turns red on the radar. Turn Silent Running on if you can see the Leviathan class creature on your radar, and if they get too close, shut down the engine, turn off Silent Running (your engine is off, no noise, it'll just waste your power) and wait for it to go away before restarting the engine. I only use Silent Running in the ALZ with the Thermal Upgrade, and even then you don't need it 3/4 of the time. Silent Running mode is a massive waste of power. It's incredibly simple to turn off your engine after an attack, watch the scary monster swim away, then repair the single breach you got from that single hit you took.Īlso, the smaller enemies like Crabsquid or Ampeels don't do nearly enough damage to even bring the Overshield (top 20 percent of HP, the regenerating bit) down unless there are multiple around your ship, in which case simply shut down your engine if a breach occurs, then go weld. in end game.Something that almost no one on here seems to know (with all those posts about their Cyclopses getting blown up and that) is that simply turning off your engine makes the Cyclops emit zero noise. also 2 ion power cells you can drain till zero and just keep em, you can use empty ones in rocket craft. some biomes dont have em, but there is plenty. or keep kyanite power module in cyclops and park it near heat areas now and then to recharge, does not need to be in lava zone. later on just farm infinite amount of ion cubes and go super power cell on cyclops. and there you go you have fresh 100% cell, keep 2 emprty power cells for double cycloops shield craft, 1 in rocket, one as cyclops module. have spare powercells, and those rubber thingy to craft cells from batteries stocked up on cyclops, once you drain batteries store em in container, if u have 2 or more pairs just make power cell from 2 empty batteries. Never build stuff on cyclops that use power, if you need build for few secs when you use, dismantle right afer, if you were in lava zone use cyclops diagnostic screen to see if u have larvas attached.
