[Subnautica] Do not fire your propulsion Cannon at your cyclops if you have lockers on the interior walls...!

I know I’m playing this very late. Anyway I was pretty deep in a certain cave (1,200 ft) with a leviathan and I was taking care of some stowaways on the hull of the sub. Thinking it’d be more fun to use the cannon instead of the knife, I blasted away. A couple seconds later I watched in horror as all my lockers clip through the cyclops and sink to the bottom.

The leviathan would attack on every pass and the lockers would either get blasted away even farther apart or respawn entirely. In the end, they all despawned… I was working on building a base with a platform shield over top so I could collect everything again, but it all went poof.

Luckily, I saved within the last 30 minutes… But if I hadn’t have, I would have lost all the resources (about 40+ lockers full) and I probably would have just quit the game lol.

This same thing happened to me on my most recent playthrough, same area, same thought lol. So glad I saved but my spouse and I were both just screaming in horror at the whole situation and how rapidly everything can spiral out of control when something like that happens. Glad you saved too!

Heh, there’s still soooo many physics bugs in Subnautica, which is honestly a bit baffling considering how long it’s been out. Still a fantastic game though, no doubt about that

One of the funniest ones that happened to me was when I ran my cyclops aground in the shallows and I tried to deploy out of my prawn to push it but the hatch was right next to the seafloor so I immediately clipped through the ground while in my prawn and fell through the entire game world. Good times

I’m glad you saved. Keeping note for when I finally get the rest of the fragments 😭

Don’t forget to save regularly! Because it was a glitch that happened to me yesterday which caused me to start saving every 30 minutes or so.

So yesterday I was building a base from the surface down to a couple stalkers (to farm teeth). It was really simple; and observation room connected to a T with a door, and vertical connectors going to the surface to an I corridor with a solar panel for air.

Well, I was curious and started to build out of the water, was 3 pieces high, and the game just froze after I placed a room at the top. I play on switch, so I just put it to sleep without saving when I’m done sometimes. So I had lost hours of progress and farming stuff.

So be sure to save often!

Aaaaaa that’s terrible!! Haha I was just thinking of building out of the water today, glad I didn’t 😭 it’s so immersive I always forget to save.
