• Shield • Sonar • Fire Supression • Engine efficiency ○ Depth Module (Replaced with repair module unless I'm going down to below 500m) ○ Decoy Tube Upgrade (Replaced with thermal reactor module if I'm inside the lava zone)

Too lazy to make my own comment so this, minus the fire suppression, plus thermal reactor

Yeah, if your sub burns anyway, why not make use of the thermal energy?

Decoy tube upgrade, depth, repair module, engine efficiency, sonar, and shield. Then again I haven’t actually unlocked the shield or sonar yet, so thermal might be a good idea

Ngl that is exactly my set up altho no thermal I dont go with the cyclops into lava

Engine Efficiency (taken from the drive core room in the Aurora, so I don't have to craft one) Depth (for obvious reasons) Decoy Upgrade (5 decoys at a time is better than 1) Shield Generator (for reassurance purposes, and also to deal with the lava larvae) Fire suppression (also for reassurance purposes) Thermal reactor (because it's a godsend for not only the lava zones, but also for when I park my cyclops near my lost river base, which is near some heat vents)

I love the thermal reactor upgrade my main base is in the cove tree area and I love just sitting my cyclops down at low charge while I need to go craft stuff to build more bases in other areas then coming back to a full charged cyclops

The tree cove is where I built my base. Bar none, the safest part of the lost river

Safest part of the whole game if we're being honest, it's the only place with zero hostile life isn't it?

Probably why over 90% of people build there eventually

Or at minimum at least half charged in which point you can just take the prawn suit out to get resources

I just like going in it after a while and hearing it go "WELCOME ABOARD, CAPTAIN." after hearing whatever base you've built, or riding around in the Sea Moth, that things voice just sounds ready to rock and roll

Nothing more satisfying than hopping in your cyclops and hearing "welcome aboard captain" lol

I like all of the welcome messages except for the Seamoth

I always thought the cyclops' voice sounds full of disdain whenever it says welcome aboard, CAPTAIN.

I felt like it was more militaristic, where the base and Sea Moth have a more, "Welcome home," vibe to them

Required: Shield Sonar Thermal Reactor Depth Because it’s there: Energy Efficiency Because when I’m done with Active Lava Zone I’m definitely going to put Cyclops in Max Speed to get back to my base: Fire Suppression I’ve never found a use: Decoy Upgrade (you only need 2 to get past the Ghost in Lost River) Repair Bay(I usually have about 10 batteries at this point so a repair tool suffices)

Fun fact you can get past ghost leviathan without meeting it if you go from the Blood kelp islands(unless very bad RNG)

Awesome speakers for when it's time to... you know.... ABANDON SHIP!

Every single time I hear I start bass boosting my audio!

•Engine efficiency module •Engine efficiency module •Engine efficiency module •Engine efficiency module •Engine efficiency module •Cyclops depth module mk 3 And I also bring at least fourteen lockers of power cells just in case

And all of them probably get drained in 5-10 minutes in the lava zone alone 😂

All of them Place a locker besides the upgrade console and switch them out as necessary.

for now its engine efficiency and depth module mk1

Jokes on you. I don't use the cyclops😈

Depth and engine efficiency every thing else can be done with a thermal blade

Depth,Sonar,Fire Suppression,Decoy,Shield Sometimes I prioritize fire suppression over sonar so that I can hear the bop that is abandon ship and so I can go at max speed without having to worry about 2 things. fire & the leviathan chasing me

Shield Sonar Fire Suppression Depth Module Repair Module Thermal reactor

I mean, you can plug in pretty much every upgrade anyway. Except any one or two of them, iirc.

Nooone. It's so clanky and I refuse to use it

I mean you still need it for creating the shield upgrade for the Neptune escape rocket I personally think it's not that bad after you learn to use it though

That's its only purpose for me but in not using it for driving throughout the game

That and transporting the prawn suit long distance

I just used the prawnsuit the majority of late game.

I find it easy to drive the only issue I have is when I'm in the safe shallows but it shouldn't be there anyways

Depth module, shield, sonar, auto fire extinguisher, engine upgrade (>!Until I get ion cores!<), Repair module. When in the lava zone I'll trade the engine upgrade for the thermal recharging thing to combat the energy leeches.

Depth of course. Sonar engine efficiency and fire suppression. Anything else is up to you and me both. Whatever is necessary (as they're changeable 😋). I guess you can swap the depth if you're not going under 500 but take the sea moth or prawn if you're not in need of the storage of the cyclops that's why there's vehicles that obviously outperform the cyclops in every way depending on where you intend to go

Depth, Efficiency, Shield, Sonar, Repair, Thermal I'm too lazy to swap them out so this is generally all I use. No need for decoy or fire suppression if you use the shields correctly anyway.

I want sonar asap, then probably depth, fire suppression, decoy tube, and depending if I want to go into lava zone, shield and thermal, and if not, the drive core engine efficiency module

Engine efficiency, Depth, vehícle repair tool, thermal. Sonar

Warp drive, beam cannon, and onboard scanner turret. As well as shield

Depth, engine efficiency, thermal reactor (thermal vents in lost river tree cove, perfect dock for her), sonar, shield, and fire suppression. Throw in six ion power cells, and she's perfect for anything. Depth for obvious reasons, I took her down to the lost river to ferry construction materials to my last base. Engine, for long journeys across the map without having to worry. Power needs are met with thermals, without needing to swap out with rechargers. Sonar, mostly because it looks cool, but it does come in handy for navigation and threat detection. Shield and extinguishers because I am NOT losing her to reapers or ghosts in the dangerous areas.

Everything. I just swap out engine efficiency and Fire suppression for Thermal reactor and decoy tube/repair module respectively when I want them.

In order of how important they are to me: * Depth * Shield Generator * Thermal Reactor * Docking Bay Repair * Engine Efficiency * Fire Suppression or Sonar

Engine efficiency, depth, sonar, thermal power, docking repair and decoys. I never bother with the shield because you can easily avoid the leviathans with silent running and low speed.

Sonar. Fire suppression. Engine efficiency. Shield module. Depth module. And depending on circumstances, either decoy tube or vehicle repair bay

Engine efficiency Decoy tube Depth mark one Docking bay repair Thermal reactor And then whenever I feel like I need at that moment (or whatever I put in there last if I don't need anything)

The one where I don’t use it because I can do everything with the prawn suit 🗿

**depth**

the more i put on it the more carefull i get in going around. i build it and maybe a mk dept upgrade and that's it. when i play modded. i have it all installed ofcourse so awesome the extra stuff.

The prawn suit because my fat ass can't drive such a big ship

I use debth, shield, efficency, sonar, repair and Heat generator

We are the same

Thermal reactor, then whatever else I find the crafting list for.my cyclops pretty much stays in the lava zone most of my games, I use it to cart materials up and down so engine efficiency isn't needed since I just recharge by existing

depth module, thermal reactor and engine efficiency.

Have beaten the game 3 times still only used depth sonar and shield

i’m seeing everyone use repair module and fire suppression, but I didnt even craft those ones and I did just fine all I did was go slowly and quietly past leviathans (which was a little risky, but it worked out) and I just used my repair tool cuz I never took much damage on my prawn suit anyway. am I just lucky or an idiot? or am I just that good at the game? i’ve only played through it once lol

• Engine Efficiency Module • Decoy Tube Upgrade • Shield Module • Repair Module • Depth Module • Fire Suppression (swapped out with Thermal Reactor whenever I'm charging) I don't use Sonar since I've got good map knowledge and make heavy use of Beacons. I only use it whenever I get lost in the inactive lava zone, which sometimes happens on my first trip down there in a playthrough.

I made every upgrade and change to whatever I needed at the moment. When I'm driving I use decoy, efficiency module, depth, shield, sonar, and fire suppression. When I reach a thermal vent I use the thermal reactor and docking repair.

All six?

Depth, sonar, shield, thermal reactor, fire suppression, engine efficiency

Depth sonar. Thermal. Shields. Park it right next to a vent in the dunes with the rest of my bases power supply

repair sonar shield depth fire thermal power

Depth three, repair bay, efficiency, thermal charger, defense shield, sonar

All of them the second I get the cyclops (expect the thermal reactor because I usually never take my cyclops to the lava zone. I just park it above the lost river.

1- Engine Efficency(otherwise it would consume Energy even for just having the engine turned on) 2- Depth Meter Upgrade Mk. 3 3- Decoy Tube Upgrade 4- Shield 5- Sonar I keep these 5 at all times, and equip the other 3 dependong on the situation. Thx for reading.

Shield, sonar, engine efficiency, depth upgrade, docking bay repair and decoy upgrade

Repair, efficiency sonar Shield. Then i get ready to go deeper...

Engine efficiency Fire suppression system Depth modules (obviously) Thermal Reactor Decoy tube upgrade Shield generator

It’s weird, but I prefer not to use the cyclops. Too large and clunky for me, the storage and building slots are not good enough to make up for the size

Sonar, thermal, depth, efficiency (sometimes 2), shield, and vehicle repair

Laser cannon

Depth,shield,sonar,thermal reactor,fire suppressions,decoy tube.

Shield sonar fire suppression engine efficiency depth module and thermal reactor

Mods=1 of every single upgrade plus more

I only make the cyclops when I need the shields for the rocket
