my cyclops got "launched" 5 kilometers away from my seabase after docking the prawn suit

so, i just left the moonpool with my prawn suit to dock him on the cyclops, in the dock animation, me, the prawn suit and the cyclops got launched across the map.
i ended up 500m deep on the sea, 5 kilometres away from my base, i thought it won't be so bad to get back, just drive back to base (i had a lot of cell onboard).
well, when reaching 2 km from my base i got atacked by ghost leviathans, and they just don't leave me, 3 or 4 leaviathans swiming close to me.
i deactivated the engine but everytime i tried to activate again they show up and tear my ship apart (i don't have decoy yet).
i could just reload my save but i'm playing for about 3 hour and didn't save once (yes i'm retarded).
there is some way yo get away from them? i never cheated in this game with commands but when is a game breaking bug i guess is okay.

also, my lifepod was warped across the map too a long time ago, but i never really care for him, there is some way to reset his location? (he's about 186000 km away LOL)

build numer is: 52328 non beta.

    Wowwwww that's a pretty amazing bug. I think this is a situation where you shouldn't feel like using console commands is cheating. Your predicament is the result of an error in the software, not a normal mechanic that's inconveniencing you.

    tl;dr just console teleport, it's okay

    Thanks for including the build number. I've seen other folks who mentioned similar bugs. I wonder if you might also mention what graphics card you have. I don't know if that detail is significant. Just curious if you have AMD or NVIDIA and what model. I figured the more info the DEVS have, the easier it will be for them to track this down. I don't think this behavior happens every time for everyone and such. Thanks!

    i manage to sneak away from those bastards and get back to my base and saved.
    i tried to do the same, undocked the prawn suit, and then docked again, it happens again! but this time the screen just turned black and couldn't even see the menu.

    Just so strange. I definitely hear other people mentioning similar issues. But then there are those of of who have never seen this bug.

    I read the bug list on Trello, and there seem to be a TON of weird issues that affect only certain people. *sigh*

    I wish... I wish I was smart enough to figure out something to recommend to you. Sorry!

    okay, i made a test, when i try to dock directly below the cyclop (the correct way) it goes smooth without bugs, but when dock coming from the left of the cyclops (almost touching the door that opens when you get close with the prawn suit) the game just go crazy and the screen turns black and with some screen artifacts.
    i activated the experimental build to see if it fixed but is the same.

    build: 52694 experimental.

    update: i tried to get out of the hatch on my base and the character got stuck.
    this game is unplayble i guess, gota wait for the 1.0.

    You didn't by any chance have a torpedo arm equipped, did you?

    No, just a grappling hook.

    Sounds like an oldschool bunnyhop-esque bug, stored momentum suddenly released all at once

    Hi,

    I've been having a similar issue with the Prawn suit and Prawn suit with cyclops, causing the cyclops, or prawn to be "bumped", sometimes with me, sometimes without.

    I have video, pictures, save files and a reproducible test case but the board says "You have to be around for a little while longer before you can post links.".

    I'll check back tomorrow maybe and see if i can finish posting the links.
