'It's a mobile base! You don't even need a base with a cyclops-oh my god, he's trying to recharge a flashlight battery without the aid of unlimited energy! He'll destroy us all!' No actually says that about it. Then people can't throw it's viable functionality under the bus fast enough.

Why are you charging batteries in your cyclops? Well, you charge your batteries in a base obviously.Īnd so many do so love to call the cyclops a Mobile Base, it can do anything a base can, haven't you heard?Įxcept when you actually try to hold it to those claims. It's just that it's capability is vastly overstated, by people who have played the game to death. So right now, at least it actually does it's job right. Then they bugged it to take literally 300 minutes (Which people defended as both 'working as intended' and 'no it's totally good gameplay). And claims 'Just build more spares then!' only further damn it, rather than defend it.Īs for heavily reduced? It's actually in a better state than much of early access. Can't drive over to a thermal vent (which will take much longer, due to the combination of lower heat, and irregular erruptions) after you've already run out of power. Once you leave, it's back to causing blackouts because you wanted to recharge your seaglide batteries. But you can't really even unlock it until you're already about to beat the game without sequence breaks, essentially. While you are down there you won't have to worry about power so it's worth building for your last 10 minute drive between the lava castle and the containment facility.

It's only useful (in an honest non exageration sense) when you are in the lava biomes.
