I found the cell data cache fix on the steam forums and a few different placed. It seems to fix the problem for everyone - the cause is definitely some sort of corrupted cell data, and the game has to be very badly programmed for it to force an instant hard reset of the whole computer, which it does. Just BOOM as if the power were cut, not even like crash to blue screen. It seems to be a pretty common problem too. I suppose it could also be a problem with a faulty component that is only faulty in that specific edge case but... yeah, why is this the only game thats ever hit it if so?

Is there a place in particular where the prawn grappling arm can be found? Or a way to drive my cyclops into the jellycaves?

Other reputed wrecks for grapple arms are in the grand reef, and underwater island. If it's even possible to cram your cyclops into the jellycaves I'd hate to make the attempt. Two cargo pods are standard alongside the perimeter defense and depth module on my Seamoth for a reason. Section Z fucked around with this message at 01:35 on Feb 17, 2018 |

Something like that is more likely a gpu driver bug.

I was thinking the same thing, but I dont know why the CellCache data would be triggering a gpu driver bug for people though? Cant argue with the fact that it fixed the problem though. Went from 100% crash rate to no problems at all. Its gotta be the game doing something wonky thats triggering some flaw in the hardware or software but who the hell knows what it could be.

Available here: If it's possible to un/re do the "aurora power efficiency module" affects battery/cell chargers and also reduces energy cost of update module that would be excellent. Energy cost adjustments for silent run might be nice. If it's possible to toggle the outside of the Cyclops to be buildable on again that would be a big win. If you're adjusting the water filtration, maybe nuclear rods should go up in power too? (It's still dumb they're basically 1 to 1) Is personally love a Cyclops bio reactor panel in the engine room, but that gets into modeling problems.

Section Z posted:Other reputed wrecks for grapple arms are in the grand reef, and underwater island. If I remember right I found my grapple arms mostly around a wreck south of the blood kelp trench (it's kinda-sorta south of wreck in there even.) And no, I'm pretty sure you can't get a cyclops into the jellyshroom caves without an inane amount of effort put in (which would require an equal amount of effort to get it back out.)

I found plenty of grappling arms in both the Grand Reef wrecks. But they were all deep inside, I think it took a laser cutter AND a repair tool AND a propulsion gun to move debris in order to get to them, as welling as noticing and swimming down several corridors.

One solution if your prawn gets stuck in the jelly cave is to stick a few foundations to the walls. You technically only need 2, as you can hop up then deconstruct the lower one.

Section Z posted:There used to be a realtime power display in the engine room, which was how I was able to nail down when they bugged the thermal reactor to take literally 300 minutes at peak performance to recharge ions (And then confirm when they ported it to live). I was wondering what happened to this! yeah, that was super useful and i loved being able to pop in and check battery status in the battery room.

I finished the game last weekend, and my only complain besides the bugs is the lack of endgame content (seriously, I spent the last few hours with a bugged thermal knife that would spew bubbles, in or out of water, whenever it was in my inventory and not in my hand), I really wanted to go on cool adventures with my Cyclops once I got it kitted out, but I only ended up really using it to visit the lava zones, and only once. I was hoping that I'd need it for long treks deep under the surface, where the ability to grow food and repair the prawn would be important.

No worries; I had to look up the first one because I actually didn't remember that, but it's probably do-able. And the sub power notification idea is great - looks like it's easy, so I'll be trying that soon. Edit: Yeah, it was - I'll build it into a mod soon

I was hoping that I'd need it for long treks deep under the surface, where the ability to grow food and repair the prawn would be important. Yeah my Cyclops ended up being my Prawn Suit’s chauffeur. Still feels cool to get next to a deep cavern and deploy my mech suit, though, and have my sub act as a temporary base of operations for the span of a few excursions. I really, really love this game. I think it’s pretty amazing how they made underwater traversal not disorienting or sluggish. The level of obtuseness, both in its mechanics and storytelling, strikes the perfect balance for me. They nailed the sound design. The animals and plant life are beautiful and frightening. The writing is superb, too: even what would be dry scientific bestiary entries are short and sweet. The computer lady in your head is serious when it matters, but often has lines that remind me of a more low-key GladOs from Portal. (Paraphrasing: “This biome meets at least seven of the nine criteria for instilling terror in humans”, “Prawn suit operators must undergo several weeks of training to unlearn the feelings of invincibility that occur”, etc.) There are so many gratifying moments: first getting the higher capacity oxygen tank, then the Seaglider, then the Sea Moth, then both the Cyclops and the Prawn Suit... Each step feels like such a huge movement forward, and yet I never felt overpowered, or even completely safe. It’s early but this is a Game of the Year contender already. drat.

Compared to the Reapers and Ghosts the Sea Dragons are kind of loveable goofballs, really. They just swim around yelling at stuff and occasionally stop to look at you and sometimes spit fire at you but usually just move along. I got un-scared of them within 5 minutes whereas those other types of aggro leviathans scare the willies out of me.

Still no sign of battery charger plans, or laser cutter for that matter which is REALLY cramping my style at this point I've built a moonpool, bioreactors, food farms for aforesaid, and a seamoth and I can't make a laser cutter?  (e) That tantalizing sounding scanner room, too, need more fragments for that thing. (e2) Found a time capsule which was amusing and also had an ion power cell and ion batteries, dunno when I'd get those normally but my seamoth sure ain't complaining

I've been cruising around for a couple hours in my seamoth looking for fragments (still no cyclops fragments) and I realize I still haven't found any reason to build a base. It just seemed like a lot of materials for something that I don't see the utility of. Am I a big doofus for not building a base? And is there a place I can put it that puts me close to good resources?

Once you get the scanner room it's probably a good idea to put one down.

Ya'll keep posting about time capsules that contain ion stuff meanwhile all the ones I open have loot that is just insulting. A bottle of water? Really? Atlanton posted:I've been cruising around for a couple hours in my seamoth looking for fragments (still no cyclops fragments) and I realize I still haven't found any reason to build a base. It just seemed like a lot of materials for something that I don't see the utility of. You need a base for easy storage of your materials. You need materials for obvious reasons. If you aren't storing it somewhere easily accessible then you will need to keep running across the map to make new gear you aren't carrying the reagents for. Also without a base you can't power the scanner room to make tracking down materials easier. Recharging batteries and vehicles is also only possible with a powered base, and that's much easier than constantly crafting new power cells and batteries. Finally, vehicle and gear modification cannot be done without their respective powered stations. The thing is, a base itself mostly just takes titanium. If you are only building practical stuff then the only other thing you'll need will be some sort of power source. Exotic materials mostly go into crafting new gear. Its not like setting up a main base is a huge resource drain unless you are focused on aesthetics over pure utility. As far as I know you can actually go full nomad though once you get the cyclops since its basically a massive mobile base. You should probably focus on getting it if you don't wanna settle down.

My large, submersible son is ugly, but powerful: Do not put spotlights on my son - he does not like them:  I'll tinker with the code a bit more so it's reliable. I might be able to get standard in-base equipment to stick to it, too - they get placed, but aren't attached properly.
