#subnautica Cyclops was surprisingly easy to build once I found all the blueprints. With there being separate hull, engine & bridge blueprints, I thought I'd have to build the hull then go inside to fit it out, but it's still a 1 step build

Ok, I can still add a lot of stuff, kit it out like a portable base, but that's optional

Other advantage of getting to this game 5 years late - there's so many guides. Mostly been avoiding them 'cos it's my first go (and on survival), but I've now got all the vehicles to upgrade & start investigating alien sites

Still need the big fishtank though.

@patterfloof Yeah that would have been a nice mechanic. Build an empty hull then have to go inside and fit it out with engine and bridge.

But no, I think the reason there's 3 different parts is just to force you to collect fragments from different places rather than all 9 the same in one spot.

@leonerd I've not really experienced what the Cyclops can offer, but it's probably also a good progression-gate, so players can't get the endgame mobile base too early. The materials aren't in especially deep or dangerous areas.
