this person is experienceing a quick drain that seemed unusual. With my expereince, those people are not on the boards trying to figure it out like this. The only saving grace here is that Subnautica is single player so nobody care if you actually cheat. MANY players in EA multiplayer games learn that the hard way even tho it's just common sense. There is a difference between hunting for bugs to report them and abusing a bug. If you can't understand that getting more energy from an energy reserve is not some kind of bug and keep defending it then you deserve getting called a cheater. Of course many people can't stand said truth. they are passivce aggressive and pretend they just don't understand why people get upset. Whther or not you are right, when the first thing you say to somebody is hostile, you are going to get hostility in return. The way i had to explain it to my child is like this as usual, s/he said something intended to provoke. s/he didn't say that the devs found it too op and changed it, this is intended. That poster called it cheating, and that is an aggressive stance. in no way did anyone cheat when they used that. the devs found it to be a bit too op so they changed it. when the ability to charge was there, it was used. The Ion Power Cell is a modified, higher capacity capable of holding 5 times more than the regular Power Cell.Originally posted by Eagle_of_Fire:Post like these demonstrating a utter lack of common sense make me cringe so hard. In Creative Mode, vehicles do not consume Energy from Power Cells: the only power requirement is that they have at least one Cell inserted. The Seamoth Solar Charger, Cyclops Thermal Reactor Module, and Prawn Suit Thermal Reactor can also be used to recharge the Power Cells of the respective vehicle under the proper conditions.Īny vehicle that requires Power Cells will spawn with a full set already inserted and 100% charged. Power Cells in the Seamoth or Prawn Suit can be charged by docking at a Moonpool or a Cyclops. Power Cells can be recharged at a Seabase using a Power Cell Charger. The Cyclops will also drain energy when running any power-draining equipment built inside it, and while charging a vehicle in its docking bay. If they are depleted or removed, the vehicle will cease to function and will also cease generating Oxygen.

Vehicles require Power Cells to run and will drain their Energy with use. The Power Cell is primarily used to power vehicles.Ī Power Cell stores 200 energy. Power Cells can only be crafted after the player has crafted a Battery. The Power Cell is an electronics item that can be crafted in the Fabricator.
