This renders it particularly useful in dealing with Lava Larvae, as any number of the creatures can be instantly detached from the hull without having to leave the vessel. When activated, the shield makes the Cyclops invulnerable to damage from any source including moving below its current Crush Depth.There is an instantaneous drain of 50 energy from the Cyclops' Power Cells on activation, and thereafter power is drained at a rate of 50 energy every 5 seconds (10 energy per second) until the system is manually deactivated or the Cyclops runs out of power.Īny creature that touches the Shield while it is active will be repelled as if struck with the Survival Knife or a similar weapon, swimming away a significant distance before being able to re-approach. When it is on, the viewing window will be covered by translucent tessellated triangles which pulse with light from time to time. I have experienced the following: -none of the depth modules stack.

The wiki does not address if other modules stack or not. The button toggles the system on and off, and it will remain in the selected state if the player stops controlling the vessel. It does say that: the storage box for seamoth / prawn stack -the solar charger for the moth stacks -the prawn depth modules and the thermal reactor DO NOT stack. When it is fitted, a button for activating the shield is added to the right-hand side of the HUD that appears when the player is controlling the Cyclops. Its Blueprint is found in a Data Box, but it can only be crafted using the integral upgrade fabricator inside a Cyclops: no other type of fabricator can make it. Inserting the module into one of the Cyclops' upgrade slots allows the vessel to generate an indestructible energy shield over its hull to defend against hostile fauna. Other sources of damage such as aggressive fauna do full damage.The Cyclops Shield Generator is an upgrade for the Cyclops.

4 Hull Reinforcements: -93.75% collision damage takenĭamage is only reduced from collision with terrain.3 Hull Reinforcements -87.5% collision damage taken.2 Hull Reinforcements -75% collision damage taken.1 Hull Reinforcement -50% collision damage taken.The formula used for the collision damage is the following: s = d / 2 ∗ 0.5 n, where s represents self damage, d represents possible outgoing damage, and n represents the number of equipped Hull Reinforcement modules.

The Prawn Suit does not take collision damage, rendering this upgrade useless for it.

This upgrade provides the Seamoth and the Prawn Suit with a system that preemptively hardens the vehicle chassis prior to collisions with terrain, eliminating damage under normal conditions. It is available in Subnautica only, not in Below Zero. The Hull Reinforcement is an upgrade module that can be crafted in the Vehicle Upgrade Console.
