Warning: cavitation (excessive noise)

GlassDeviant

How am I getting cavitation in a submarine that hasn't moved more than 100 meters in the past 14 hours?

You have your speed set to full, the engine is running at like 8000 rpms lol

It appears you generate noise based on your speed setting--even when sitting still. I assume it plays that cavitation message based upon your speed--again, regardless if you are moving or not.

While we're on the subject, can we lobby to reduce the noise or replace the 'engine thrum' sound effect of the Cyclops? I get that it's a big monster sub, and a future update will introduce "silent running mode" (which I assume reduces noise in a trade-off for even slower movement speed...) My point is, while I like the Cyclops for travelling, I just cant stand the bizarre noise the drive engine makes. The wispy sound of the Seamoth is relaxing, and the thrust engines on the Exosuit is fun yet demanding, but the Cyclops' engine noise is both nauseating and too darn loud!



Can we replace it with something more appropriate, or at least reduce the overall sound level? Like how the Battery Charger charge effect was made quieter some time ago.

Agreed, it sounds like the valve lifters an old cantankerous diesel-electric sub that's overdue for an oil change (no, I don't really know what that would sound like, but I imagine it would sound similar!).
