It would be amazing if there were other mods maybe some that allow us to be more offensive (not lethal but offensive, just like Seamoth's perimeter defense system). Seamoth has 4, Prawn has 4 +2 arms, so it seems weird that the Cyclops, that is massive compared to those two, has only 4 slots. I'd like to see the option to have 6 mods instead of 4. After all I want it to be threatened by leviathan creatures but when it breaks after two stalkers bump into it. Also making it a lot more tankier would be nice. It is slow and very fragile at the same time. I completely agree with OP that right now the Cyclops is not very practical. When it comes to the new features and what you're trying to do with them (the plans to make them more fun, as you put it). It really means a lot when devs talk about stuff like this and are open about the whole developement process. I appreciate you taking the time to write up your feedback (I've read all the feedback in this thread) and will continue to utilize that feedback to improve the experience.įirst let me say thx for responding to this post. It will take a little bit of work to hit that sweet spot, but we will hit it. The systems are very complex and require lots of work, time and testing. So as always, please have patience with us. I will continue to tweak the Cyclops until it feels good and fun. Because of feedback in these very forums we're also adding a sprinkler system to help midigate fires as well as deployable decoys which can pull agro off your cyclops. We want these systems to be fun and engaging, not make you feel like the cyclops is a chore to use. We're making the creatures respond more to stealth, we're giving the clops more health, we're making fires start less often. As a result we have been tweaking the values constantly. My intention was not to show you how crappy the cyclops has become, it was to spawn threads like this one that will tell me what people like/don't like about the systems. This type of feedback is exactly why we posted it to experimental to be playable. So here's the most important thing to keep in mind: We are in the middle of working on it. I simply want to make it more interesting. I don't want to nerf it, I don't want to make it ANY less viable than it used to be. My intention with these features is not to make the Cyclops worse. What we came up with was a way to answer these problems fire/flooding to add drama and 'fear factor' and stealth to mitigate attacks. We don't have guns, so creating danger in a way that doesn't involve bolting turrets to the Cyclops hull was a huge challenge. A giant floating invincible fortress simply doesn't make sense to the core theme of the game - this is a survival game a game about staying alive in the face of overwhelming odds and danger. Hey Dumoney! I'm the dev that's been adding all these new features, and largely responsible for the implementation being the way it is.įirst let me say it was a big challenge to make the Cyclops more interesting. Downvote me if you will, but Im not the only one that feels this way.

Only minor benefit Ive seen so far is the energy shield, but thats not enough to make up for all the negatives this update added to the Cyclops. Its made the Cyclops EXTREMELY unattractive to me and honestly not even worth all the resource hunting and tediousness to have with no upside. Overall, I see little benefit to this update from a design standpoint.

If you try leaving the Cyclops to repair it, you put yourself at a huge risk, especially in areas with the most dangerous creatures like the Lost River or Lava zone.

If you try speeding away in it, something else will just come after you.

You dont have that luxury in the Cyclops. If the Sea Moth got damaged for example, you can speed away and repair it real quick. I cna see this being a major issue in dangerous areas.

Finally, the internal damage forces the player to leave the driver seat to go repair the Cyclops adds a lot of tedium. A minor annoyance but an annoyance anyway. This forces the player to take it painfully slow in an already slow moving vehicle in fear of not having everything gang up on the Cyclops and having it destroyed. Sure a large creature like the Reaper or Dragon should have the power to damage and/or destroy it, but have it as fragile as the Sea Moth is unreasonable. Im not saying it should be invincible like it was. Adding the ability for anything to destroy it. Now, that list of costs went up exponentially. That was at the cost of speed, agility, and power consumption. Before, the only benefit was that it was a mobile base and it was invulnerable to everything but pressure. I think they made the Cyclops worse in every way with little to no benefit. I want some insight into what people think of this because every comment criticizing it is getting downvoted to hell.
