The worst place where my cyclops ran out of battery was at the west edge of the map and i was looking for large silver hunks and i was not paying attention but my batteries ran out and my prawn suit that was docked in my cyclops only had 11% battery left and there was 3 reaper leviathans just hanging out ready to hug me as soon as i left my cyclops so yeah i died and just decided to make another cyclops and prawn suit from scratch and i eventually went to go get all the silver i collected off of the old cyclops later on this time with charged batteries. Where is the worst place you have ran out of battery power in subnautica? Feel free to comment below. Thanks!

Uh...I meant to do that...
''Bwahahaha, looks whos laughing now! cant get me in here
That is the day i learned the hard way that Crashfishes can one-shot yer 'moth and you with it if yer inside
All to the same Reaper.
Basically, for the Precursor update, I took a Seamoth to the GUN, just looking around, collecting magnetite, dodging Warpers, regular Mountains biome things. Then, I took the risk of going deeper and getting stuff from the nearby wreck. All of a sudden, a Reaper came out of nowhere behind me, and proceeds to chew my Seamoth, and subsequently my body.
I was so mad at this thing for killing my seamoth, that I took my drill arm-grappling arm PRAWN suit to kill the thing.
After some daring attacks and narrow escapes, I had to abandon my doomed PRAWN and flee.
But it was still alive, so my job wasn't finished.
After a few resource runs, I made another PRAWN suit with a grappling arm, drill arm, and a torpedo arm just in case the thing started to run away. Once again I confronted the beast, only to have the PRAWN thrust through the terrain after a couple grabs from the Reaper. I was unable to get it back to the surface, and I abandoned it.
I'd had more than enough of this Reaper, so I got my Cyclops, (which I renamed for this mission "The Avenger." I thought it was pretty cool) found the Reaper, and proceeded to ram it, get out and slice it with a Stasis Rifle-Knife combo, shot some Crashfish at it with the Propulsion Cannon, I even let a Stalker that had been in my Aquarium loose to distract the Reaper.
And in the end, I now have a glorious scan of the Reaper, and a picture of its dead body in my base.
That was a "fun" time.
P.R.A.W.N., Once to the Abyss (before I knew it was there)
Cyclops, Never.
< grumble..., grumble..., grumble... >
My seamoth could only go as far as 200 meters, so in the cave it was possible to go around but couldnt go much down. I got distracted and went a bit bellow 200 and when I looked at it the health was low, I tried to go up fast and smashed my moth in the walls of the cave.
there is a good thing in all this: I left a beacon I had with me in the entrance of the cave thinking I could get lost, and with later exploration I was able to find the moonpool, the Alien Containment, the charger and the nuclear reactor
Seriously, how do you even do this? There is no reason to lose any of these, you are provided ample warning, and the cyclops is ONLY threatened by deep dives. Even IF it is ever attacked, I don't forsee a point when I would ever lose one.
This game is far too easy to ever lose one of these.
Good for you
my seamoth and my prawn was grappled by reapers multiple times but never lost it to them. i'm really scared now after reading your stories...
i often visit the precursor gun wreck only with the seamoth. i know there are reaper but i avoid them in sneaking near the mountainwall (i know that they can clip but i slide the seamoth sideways to have maxium speed).
edit: and i never cross the reaper biomes in the deep. i navigate max 10m under the surface and dive to the wreck when i have to be above that.
No Seaglide? You can stack oxygen tanks, but without a Seaglide you'll be slowed down quite a bit by the extra weight. If all you're after is access to your Seamoth, then stuff your inventory full of oxygen.
Which blocked my access to the hatch.
Stranding me in open water.
With a Reaper.
Happily, the Reaper tried to eat me, and in so doing ran into my sub again, knocking it off the bottom. Got back in.
LARRY: ooh a nice cyclops
PLAYER: OMG REAPER!!!
LARRY: OMG HUMAN!!!
LARRY: *blocks cyclops hatch*
LARRY: FOOL HUMAN!!! What now? *bumps cyclops*
PLAYER: *jumps in cyclops*
LARRY: DAMMIT
Soon I was frantically running around putting out fires as the beast outside let out its ghastly screams and periodically rammed into it. One more hit and poor Megalodon would've sunk...luckily it occurred to me to power down the engine. I was able to repair the external hull breaches in time and eventually dislodge my vessel before making a very sharp retreat. That was the closest I got to losing my hardcore save!
So going through the Lost River from the Mountains entrance, there is a narrower portion, with a vertical pillar and a smaller opening leading to the same next room. Being my first time back out, I thought "was this where that Ghost was? If so, i'm taking the smaller opening to have a lesser chance of agro".
As you probably guessed, my assumption that my Cyclops was smaller than that opening was dead wrong. I got stuck a bit, then was thinking "okay, we can still make this, lets just steer into it, and then we'll get through". 15 minutes later, my Cyclops is nearly staring at the ground, and rolled partially on its side, and I can move NOWHERE.
Thankfully, I had my PRAWN in the bay. It miraculously ejected, and I made a long PRAWN walk back to my Safe Shallows base.
Needless to say being over 500m deep in a cave with only 1 and 1/3 tanks of air was not an ideal situation so I made a break for the exit and hit my air bladder. My air ran out a few meters from the surface and just before the screen went fully black I broke the surface. It was way too close for comfort.
You can run out of air and let the screen go black. You should still have ~2secs to reach the surface with a black screen. Happens to me all the time.
My worst experience was in a hardcore run, my prawn got stuck in a cave and I couldn't move it. I didn't want to use console (it was the first run after the game launched, so I wanted the achievs) and had to swim for the surface, then back to base through reaper infested waters, build a new prawn and go back to get my upgrade modules.
It took a copious amount of reversing at full speed combined with smashing my face into the sub before it finally dislodged itself from the sand, allowing me to make an (almost) clean getaway.
