To get the most out of it, you need to park the Cyclops directly on top of a smoker (the chimneys producing black smoke) or as close to the base of a lava geyser as you can. The safe shallows thermals is barely warm enough to generate power at the height the Cyclops can fit into. The location you're charging it at isn't the ideal location. It's meant to extend a Cyclop's operation time, not make it totally unlimited. Thing is, ion power cells have 5x the capacity, so if I'm not mistaken charging it to full is going to take 5x longer. Yes, it's going to be "slow" because it charges energy at the same rate as it does normal power cells. Though I should point out I don't use ion cells on my cyclops. Better off taking extra storage or something, in my opinion. If you're carting it around in your cyclops that's fitted with a thermal reactor, not needed.
So essentially thermal reactor on cyclops = ABSOLUTELY, thermal reactor on prawn = situational - if the prawn is operating independently for extended periods, yeah, it's good. However, if I'm taking my prawn into the jellyshroom caves to pick up some of the resources down there, I'm probably going to want a thermal reactor. The prawn thermal reactor, on the other hand, eh, I find I didn't really need it if the prawn is based out of my cyclops with the thermal reactor topping it up on docking. I stopped carrying extra batteries when I got Swim Charge Fins, but prior to that I always had a spare and equipment I could remove one from if needed.It is absolutely a game changer for me. I’m not sure there was any point in the game from when I built my first Seamoth that I wasn’t carrying at least one power cell with me at all times.
The remaining cell still had power when I got back and thermal reactor was charging up the cells while I was driving back. Prawn wasn’t deployed long enough to use much power.Īs a just-in-case measure while out drilling, I put my grav trap above Cyclops engines and pulled the fully charged power cells. I think I may have used 3 cells and part of the 4th on the way down, but I had another 4 in a wall cabinet and one in inventory.
On the way down and back up I triggered the shield a couple of times just long enough to see the glow in front and turned it back off again. I drove Cyclops to just in front of the deep pit, stopped to drill kyanite, built the thermal reactor module for Cyclops, drove back up to my Lost River base where I built both depth upgrades and thermal reactor for Prawn.
