My Cyclops will not stay submerged by itself. I have to keep hitting the "C" key while travelling along to keep it a certain depth. She keeps trying to surface. If I leave the command post, it will slowly rise back up to the surface. Is this normal? Also she sinks in the rear end and doesn't stay level until it gets back to the surface.

    I think its a bug caused by having a seamoth onboard. Also your cyclops can only dive as deep as the seamoth docked within allows (personally i think this is a mistake... if the pressure is that severe then the cyclops should just prevent you from releasing the seamoth).

    Sounds like a floater may be attached

    This. Sounds like you picked up a Floater or two.

    There are no floaters as I've left the sub and swam all around it. I just don't understand why it wants to stand on it's tail. I will try leaving the Seamoth out of her and see what she does.

    Only answer I can offer then is try spawning in another one with the console

    I don't know if this is related but if your in a cyclops and your inventory can only hold X items and you try to spawn X+Y, given that Y > 0, items that your extra items get stuck in the ship which prevents you from moving, except for a little turning.

    Sometimes things get stuck in weird areas. Try using a repulsion cannon on the rear prop, and the two little dongles on the bottom to see if there's a floater lodged in it. Also check inside or just use freecam to see if there's a floater stuck in something.

    Can you go anywhere you want with your Cyclops (well, except for it trying to surface?) I once had an issue where it was caged in floating above the Mushroom Forest in a cube roughly 100m size. I couldn't leave but there wasn't anything I might have run into.

    The solution was an "ENTRESET" in the debug console. Maybe it can help you, too.

    Not true. I know you get the warnings about depth, but the Seamoth doesn't take any damage.
    IIRC this has been fixed in the experimental branch.

    As soon as I leave the driving console area, the Cyclops will immediately sink in the rear and rise to the surface. I got tired of fooling around and leaving it at the surface so I just started a new game and spawned a new cyclops. It works FINE. Must be a glitch in the original saved game?

    Same problem here. I've just build the Cyclops, board it, I've lowered it to my base an after I left it, it went up to the surface. Does not matter if Seamoth is attached or not. I've looked for 20 minutes for any floaters, did not find any. No solution yet!

    Hehe, I know this well. You might just jump out and inspect cyclops. I bet you've got some floaters sticking at the outer shell.

    Edit: Ups ... didn't see all the answers before. A forum bug?!?

    I finally found mine, by jumping out and looking in... It's in the top of the submersible bay. HALP.

    Edit: I managed to spam-repulse it through the side of the sub. During this time, I managed to get the entire front half out of the water.

    I was puttering around and a couple floating rocks spawned in front of my Cyclops, I rammed them ( I was going top speed and the appeared right in front and above).
    I stopped to see what the hell and the rocks de-spawned causing the floaters to well.. float. A few stuck to the ship.

    I cleared the surface ones and my Cyclops still floated. After a while searching I found one inside one of the "wings".
    It was hell getting it out, having to move back and forward to clip through the hull to see and try to grab it blind from every other angle...

    My cyclops was doing the same struggling to maintain depth always shooting to the surface. Took a look outside and near the center top sensor array, lo and behold 3 floaters were attached. Don't know why I didn't see then before anyway removed them and now sub functions normally.

    Tons. That's the only real reason to even HAVE the cyclops right now - it lets you move a ridiculous amount of raw material from point to point. Was more useful when you could solar-power it, but still beats making loooooong runs back to the surface to get more titanium.

    Otherwise, the seamoth is faster, and has a deeper (slightly) dive limit, and uses waaaaay less power.
