Here are some tips regarding the Cyclops: 1. You can dock both the Prawn and the Seamoth in the Cyclops, but, in my opinion, the Prawn is the better choice here. 2. The Cyclops is running on 6 powercells, located on both sides of the engine. Everything you build on the Cyclops uses its energy, meaning a powercell charger is useless. You're literally using powercells to charge other powercells. The translation is 1:1, so you neither gain or lose energy, it's just pointless. Also, it's charging your docked vehicle. 3. You might have noticed some fire extinguishers hanging on the walls of the Cyclops. I wonder what you would need them for... 4. You can still move the Sub while looking through the cameras. I'm not sure if you're gonna use this feature much, but it's good to know either way. 5. The hologram right besides the steering wheel shows nearby bigger predators. Yellow means they noticed you, red means they want to attack you. Deploying a creature decoy will show up as a yellow orb while creatures are displayed as triangles. I hope this helps you get more familiar with the Cyclops. Love the series so far, looking forward to the next episode!
Captain Butch, I suggest to name the cyclops "nobody"... like in the Odysee (the greek thing). Also "nobody" is afraid of the reaper. "Nobody" is afraid of the Deep
Power cell chargers in a cyclops used to give infinite power with an engine efficiency module, but that was patched a while ago, so it's now useless to put one in as it draws from the power supply to charge it. Put them in a base to charge them up.
Not necessarily once you get thermal charge and can charge a set if needed. But agree its more often better to charge at a base and keep a set in storage
A few spoiler free tips for you Captain Butch. On the floating island with the Degasi habitats, you can find 4 different edible plants which can be cultivated inside your base, you can also find the voxel shrub which looks great when planted in wall planters. you can also cultivate creep vines in outside growbeds and its late game cousin by planting its glowing 'fruits'. For the cyclops here are a few tips: Get plant pots in the room where you have the bed, and plant Bulbo trees in each one, place wall lockers and the fabricator on the lower level next to the ladder to the cockpit, they will stick to the sloped walls down there. And lastly DONT charge power cells or batteries in the cyclops, you are basically transferring power from the cyclops power cells at a loss.
you should name it something like "The NopeBoat". Because "nope" is gonna be the general reaction you're gonna have to the places you're taking it. Great video again! We loveee us some progress, cant wait for the next video!
The Cyclops is genuinely one of the most fun vehicles i've ever had in any videogame. Mobile base, has a docking station, can be a self-sufficient home. It's perfect
Your first Subnautica video popped up on my homepage kind of out of nowhere, although I did recently start a new playthrough with a friend using Nitrox for multiplayer. I will admit, I came for the mind-bending horror, but I stayed for a few reasons, the first of which is the quality of your content. Everyone is trying to make fast, highly edited, and quickly engaging content nowadays, cramming so much into people's short attention spans, and because of that, it's been a while since I've seen a survival game playthrough video that's more than maybe 10 minutes long. Your style takes me back to 2015 CZcams, where people didn't worry so much about how well the video would do and just played, and I've sat through every second of your 5+ hours of exploring the oceans and enjoyed it immensely. Second, Subnautica has existed for quite a while, and I'm no stranger to it anymore. It's really intriguing to watch how you work your way through the game for the first time, and it makes me wish I could experience it that way again. And last, but certainly not least, it's fascinating to watch how you've adapted to a terrible fear of yours over the course of the series. Watching the first episode and your reaction to the environment, I didn't know how far this series would go, but you've pushed through every challenge with a surprising determination. All in all, I love what you're doing, and I'll leave you with one tip of my own: keep listening to your comments section. There's the odd person making ominous references to later in the game with the hope of freaking you out, but the majority are really knowledgeable people with great tips and advice to make your life easier, while dodging spoilers. See you in the next one!
@@ButchX3 It's the least I can do when you put your sanity on the line for content 😆 (And if it's ever too much for you, please take a break if you need it. Your mental state is worth more to us than content, take it easy)
Here are a few extra tips for the cyclops (aside from the ones I already read) - It doesn't take collision damage - It can't get attacked while you're not in it - It has an external shield that can absorb minor damage and that regenerates, past 80% the hull will start to have breaches - It makes noise depending on how fast you move, which can get you noticed. Silent mode will suppress that noise greatly, but it costs a bunch of energy.
My fiancé and I decided the cyclops was too much to lug around in our playthrough so we literally grappled our way through the whole game with the prawn suit 😂 it’s so cool to see you using and loving the cyclops bc I had no clue you could use it as a second base!
This game is so intoxicating :D I don't think its appeal can be explained in a single sentence, it's really a whole thing. The perfect mix of fear, terror, peacefulness, wonder, awe, excitment, satisfaction, freedom and guidance. All of that in the most immersive way i have ever experienced. You just do whatever you want! This is akin to alchemy, absolute genius game design imo.
most plants that you can scan or show a name when you hover over them can be slashed with a knife to obtain seeds. Seeds with a blue background in the inventory are water plants, green background means land plant.
15:34 seeing you casually traverse deeper and deeper, not really getting scared anymore, felt so good, even just watching. Loving seeing your progress. Small moment, I know, but its the little things that count.
Ahoy Captain Butch! Thank you for sharing your journey with us 🙂I suggest the following name for your brand new Cyclops: *SS Tiger* 🐯. Proud of your progress and looking forward to the next episode!
Watching you get the Cyclops and discover that it's basically a mobile base that you can build things inside made grin from ear to ear. The Cyclops + Prawn is the perfect pairing, BUT - the Prawn, on its own, is actually a very fast vehicle once you have the jump jet upgrade and the grappling hook. The grappling hook takes some practice to get good with, but once you get the hang of it, it's awesome to 'spiderman' around inside large cave systems.
Hey Butch, I haven't finish the episode but I wanted to say that as far as the Bioreactor, the best fuel for it is Reginald fish! They last a significant amount of time and you can keep a bunch in the aquariums in case you need some in an emergency!
Cpt. Butch, love this playthrough of subnautica as it's one of my favorite games and it's super interesting to see a new perspective of the game, also you might wanna turn off the engine when you leave the cyclops to save power
Damn dude. You are a great narrator and writer. The bit about the eggs and waves and thinking about Subnautica while going off to sleep was great. Well done.
Aside from the entertainment I derive from your terror, this is premium level content! I have enjoyed watching you get more comfortable with the open waters of this game, keep it up!!
@ButchX3 i know its an "old" series, but i just love how you're doing EVERYTHING wrong with the cyclops.. just like i did the first time i played the game.. :D 1. leave engine/lights on when not using cyclops, so the battery is flat when you're actually going to use it 2. Put powercell chargers inside the cyclops, thinking you got infinite power.. completely missing the fact that all it will do is drain power from the powercells in the engine and put it in the charger.. No free energy.. sorry.. 3. Put all types of crafting and energy-using devices in the cyclops, making the battery drain even quicker than it allready is. 4. Build several lockers, completely ignoring the FACT that the entire first floor is covered in allready built in lockers. In short.. you're lucky if you end up having a sub that will have power for a short trip to the mushroom forest.. going back might be an issue tho.. Oh and.. again, i realize this series is most likely allready played to the end.. but a "tiiiny" thing i'm surprised noone have told you about: When you use your sonar.. and now with the cyclops, when you run your engine and/or use the horn.. All these sound-generating devices will signal everything in the ocean and tell everything exactly where you are and where to go if they want a snack.. Sonar gives a small "ping".. which is soundwaves.. which predators tend to be sensitive towards. sub engines create cavitation (google it), which make sound.. and horns.. well.. lots of sound.. Everything tells all the nasties "HERE I AM COME EAT ME".. Also, some of the baddies in the game are sensitive towards powered machines/engines.. so when you come runing with your seamoth or cyclops it really annoys them.. and what do baddies do when something annoys them? Yep you guessed it.. "CHOMP!!" Hence why you have the option to kill the engine/lights, turning yourself from an annoying electrical machine to an innocent floating piece of debris that noone cares about. So yeah.. i'm kinda surprised noone have told you about that yet.. :D
I think that watching your happiness from progressing and seeing something like the Cyclops for the first time is the closest I will ever get to feeling that feeling again, myself. This video really made me so happy, and I can't wait for you to go on your next adventure. Congrats!
He was so excited that he didn't even realize that a sand shark was charging him you can for a split second see it face in the sea moth as he enters it 16:53
Putting a power cell charger in the cyclops is so funny to me, you're using the cyclops power to charge powercells that you're putting into the cyclops
2:44 I know exactly what you mean! In the beginning, I was so scared to leave the safe shallows, I wouldn't play unless my friend was there for moral support. Then with time, I started missing the water. If I didn't play for like two days, I'll have this inexplicable urge to get back into the waters again. It really pulls you in!
Watching this video, watching the base's power tick down during the intro whilst the bioreactor is inactive and *then seeing him take out the water from the filtration machine, knowing full well just how much power-drain that is?* Priceless. Absolutely priceless.
Things you should have for your cyclops: 1. A bed ✅ 2. Lots of wall lockers, remember you can build on the lower deck there’s just not a lot of room. 3. Grow bed or pots with edible plants from the island. 4. Med kit fabricator - trust me you’ll need this. 5. Modification station, remember you’ll need it for upgrading modules and you don’t necessarily want to run all the way back to your base just to upgrade a depth module. 6. Fabricator. ✅ 7. Battery charger. ✅ 8. Decorations!
You've come so far, and now it is really showing. Great job on making a cyclops. They depths will becon you even more now, and you will heed its call, not out of force, but desire. Also my name for the cyclops is "Depth Strider"
Rather small though. I use those to store any equipment used while swimming (suits, propulsion cannon, stasis rifle, laser cutter, medkits, flashlight, helmets, seaglide, whatever else) so I have lots of inventory space for managing and fabricating things inside the Cyclops. Then I just take those things out of the lockers again when I go for a swim. Inside the cockpit I build a fabricator and wall lockers for food, water and salt; but that's just my way of doing things.
Hey Butch! I know you mentioned in a previous episode that Jacksepticeye is one of your biggest inspirations. I'd just like to say that, as someone who's been a fan of Jack for 10+ years, this series is giving me the same feeling i got when i first watched him play Subnautica! Such a great series, can't wait to see it continue!
Captain Butch, you can safely hit the mushrooms planted in your growbeds. You can also plant all harvestable plants (including creepvine seed clusters, blood oil and everything else) - so that you have access to them at all times. You can also plant a lot of stuff that has no practical use but looks nice. Indoor growbeds for farming are also extremely usefull. A fully upgraded prawn suit is in fact - with a little bit of practice - faster than the seamoth. 17:32 That was Atlas, not Hercules.
remember butch, everything in the cyclops uses its power supply, so a powercell charger will just charge the power cells from the ofher power cells, the same applies to a battery charger and a docked vehicle, so you will need to charge the cyclops power cells in your base. And turn the engine off, it wastes energy. And go back to the floating island, you can actually eat samples from the flora, so an infinite food supply, because you can plant it in your cyclops.
i built a fishtank in my Cyclops too. it went well, it was full of fish, until I got abit too exited by the repulsion cannon and kind of accidentally yeeted the fishtank into the 4th dimension lmao
Don't knock chicken and waffles until you try it. Sweet and salty pairs well with each other. Tried it for the first time this year and I'm hooked!😋 16:30
The first time building and exploring the Cyclopes is an unmatched experience for me. So many new cool features and tools are given to the player far beyond what I expected to be given. Tears of the Kingdom will have nothing on this!
Big Phil. No question about it. That or Nautilus. But I must say, Captain Butch, it is a pure delight seeing you overcome the fear, I noticed it in the beginning when you set off in the Seamoth into the kelp forest, talking normally and not be nervous about what was ahead of you. I have two recommendations for ya, now that you have an exterior growthbed, is to take those glowing creepvine seedclusters, the yellow glowing fruits of the tall seagrass and plant those in the growthbed. When they grow, they provide a lightsource on the outside of your base. Second, you can replace your divesuit with a reinforced divesuit as you no longer need a radiation suit. I believe you unlocked it in a previous episode. It is much more durable to both damage AND heat. If you ever get your hands on the blueprints for a Thermal Plant, build a few around the thermo vents, I believe there are two of them in the shallows. They provide your base with a constant supply of energy, far superior to solarpanels and the bioreactor. That was three recommendations… hope they are useful.
Your comment about the fact that the Rock has actually made people believe he can act had me dying. I just found your channel a few days ago and I am enjoying your Subnautica reactions so far. Not because I enjoy seeing you being tortured but because I have Thalassophobia as well and had pretty much the same experience as you and it's a comfort seeing that I wasn't the only one that was terrorized by this game. My fears had me wanting to turn the game off and stop playing at times but my curiosity had me wanting to continue. The bed was definitely a game changer though.
I would love for you to name either the cyclops or the prawn suit TheRiverMonster! - Also may you be glad to know I went to the back the Aurora today in my own survival world without my seamoth, and mainly just my seaglide and scanner to pick up blueprints/scan for titanium with the reaper getting *really* close at times (I had a bunch of medkits on me, but I never got bit once by the big fella)! I had a scanner room close to the Aurora too for saving inv and for scanning fragments/other materials nearby… but it’s nice, fun, and quite exhilarating at times at least :D
There is a reeeeally cool mod you can find on Nexus Mods which adds a docking port base piece for the Cyclops. It lets you dock your Cyclops to the base and climb down a ladder inside.
oh man I remember when I first built the cyclops, I don't think any game has ever given me such a feeling of accomplishment, happiness and awe as seeing how huge it was and discovering everything I could do with it. I genuinely felt like a kid on Christmas.
The thing with installing a powercell charger is that you're using the Cyclops' power to charge those cells, it's a net zero, you're just transferring energy. Also, the Cyclops charges your docked vehicles too. Every time you use the fabricator, you'll be spending the cyclops' power too. Which isn't to say it's a mistake to turn the Cyclops into a "mobile base", not at all, it's what it's meant for; you just have to be mindful and not set out on long trips with 20% power left. It's better to just pack extra charged power cells if you're worried about range, or craft modules that'll charge it with solar. Personally I always pack habitat building materials so I can scrounge up a tube with a hatch, power, a fabricator, a power cell charger and one or two lockers anywhere I go.
Hey Butch, needed to let you know the power cell chargers and battery chargers use the energy from the cyclops, so you would be wasting your time charging up power cells for the cyclops using the energy from the cyclops.
18:08 Knowing that the game can be fussy about the depth of the water where you build the Cyclops, I was grinning like an idiot when you were giving the big buildup to hitting the button. You did not disappoint :) Genuine laugh-out-loud content there - thank you!
ive been really enjoying this series so far but the way you got so excited for the cyclops in this episode was so endearing im going to have to watch all your other content after ive finished this.
I'm glad your enjoying the amazing game that is Subnautica You should call your Cyclops "The Bullet" Because you really are shooting through your Thalassophobia playing this game And because the red stripe is gonna make it fast
BUTCH! If you go to any of the islands, there is going to be a tree called "Bulbo tree" Its like a huge carrot. It is edible and can be planted. You can literally replace your fish with trees. Its very easy to do. And the island that has 3 degasi bases on it, has another tree. Its a "lantern tree". If you consume that, trust me you will never need fish again.
I've watched countless videos and playthroughs of subnautica since it first came out in early access, but none of them are as enjoyable or as entertaining to watch as your series has been, you've made so much progress and I'm so happy to be here! Kepp up the incredible work!
Captain Butch, FYI, there is already storage in the Cyclops. When you enter from the bottom, the entire wall is storage built into the ship. I also submit "The Kraken" as a sub name.
Chicken & waffles...so delightful! Get some nice fried chicken and even make a waffle chicken sandwich. The combo of sweet with savory/salty is just so nice. It's like having bacon with maple syrup on it. If you've never had it, I recommend a try.
Captain butch, I understand you are very happy with your new submarine, but I wanted to let you know, power cell chargers won’t work in the cyclops because it draws its power from the other power cells. Love what you do and it’s inspiring to see you come so far, captain.
Another great episode! You know what a new vehicle means? New depths to explore. Can't wait to see you go deeper, the depths are calling to you. P.S. put a fruit tree in your cyclops, it'll help with long journeys. You'll be taking a lot of those soon.
great video as always butch! congrats on makign the cyclops!!! its literally my best friend bc its so useful and its the only way i dont piss my pants in the deep down dark deep L on the mushroom death though i also have some really important tips for using the cyclops i suggest reading, unless you wish to figure everything out by trial and error then i guess skip this - you dont want the powercell charger in the cyclops, it will just zap energy from your currently used powercells and youll go in loops ending up with less charge than you started with, what you want to do is build a whole bunch of extra powercells and then recharge them whenevr u come back from your adventures - everytime you park the cyclops for a while, youll want to turn the engine off just to save that extra energy, the cyclops in general does a lot of power consumption so thats the main thing you want to prepare for - silent running mode is literally your best friend, it is basically a "you cant see me" button, but again, uses up a lot of energy - when you dock vehicles in the cyclops, they get recharged by draining some of the cyclops energy so beware of that - you cannot go below your docked vehicles depth limit or it *will* explode. e.g. seamoth depth limit is 300, but the cyclops goes to 400. the seamoth will get damaged and explode - strongly suggest getting some planters in the cyclops so you have food and water on the go - try not to set the engine on fire :)
Butch butch butch..... Chicken and waffles is a match made in heaven, you get the sweetness from the waffle with it's slight softness and syrup and the saltiness and crunch from the chicken it's divine
I need to point out something about the power cell charger inside a cyclops. Basically you are charging your power cells with power cells. So there is no value out of it in the end since it nullifies your power gain. Battery charger still draws power but at least you get more charges (recommended to build that instead).
Hey, don't mind about the mushrooms, i died like that in my first ever run, they are acid, so you just have to keep a distance to the mist they release when you cut. Loving the content, rooting for you! Oh, if you can, go back to the big tree. I don't want to spoil, so just try to look at the roots, if you can. You can google if you don't feel confident. Congratulations for the cyclops too! That's literally too huge to call a milestone
Definitely make an interior grow bed with seeds from the floating island (in one of the degasi bases at the top of a mountain there is a tree with seeds on it thats good to take with you, you've already been there but didn't realise you plant the orange seeds growing from it to grow more)
The reason there are no waves is because the lack of land masses means the energy from any currents or movement on the surface simply dissipates into the surrounding water instead of getting concentrated the way it would near a shoreline.
Anything that consumes power like the the power cell charger and fabricators will still take power from the cyclops when making something. Basically charging a power cell drains a power cell in the engine the same percentage. You can definitely still have them there and use them a lot later in the game with a certain upgrade
Butch: We use Power cell to charge Powercell small Hint for the Captain: on both sides of the Engine there are 3 Powercells, so you need 6 fully charged cells for 100%
Fun fact: deconstructing base piece, no matter what it is, returns 100% of all materials used to create it, so it is entirely possible to simple deconstruct and reconstruct pieces like your radio to move them from your base to your Cyclops~
Don’t knock chicken and waffles until you try it. Obviously waffles are a sweet breakfast food, but fried chicken goes really well with the sweet syrup, and replaces sausage or bacon as your meat. It takes a lot of preparation, but it’s a unique flavor, so if you’re craving it, there’s nothing you can replace it with
Butch! Honestly, you Really need a couple remote bases! Nothing as big as your main one, just a couple multi rooms with a fabricator storage and a bed. That way you dont have to drive back for dark all the time! The giant Mushroom Tree where you got gel sacs is a great example. Lithium, some fish, few predators. And you can put a room up high for solar power!
I LOVE THIS EPISODE! I couldn’t wait for you to get the cyclops and here it is! I cannot wait for you to get the upgrades for this thing! I can’t wait to see you again Captain Butch! May the cyclops serve you well. Possible name for cyclops: Stormsurge
hey man, I just watched your Sons of the Forest video(absolutely LOVED IT, you should play again and try the new updates) and you said that you were not even at 500 subs then. In 2 months and now you're at over 12 thousand? Conrats man. You're growing fast and deserve it. Love the content and your videos are always the best!

Don’t put a power cell charger in the cyclops 💀💀💀
Hello!, loving this videos so far, i have a tip: make an air bladder, it would save you to many occasions !
The colour of the cyclops reminds me of a shrimp, so why not call it shrimpy? And the irony from it being the biggest vehicle in the game is plus
"The Rock has convinced people he can act" killed me
Big Phil seems like the obvious choice for the cyclops name

Captain Butch, you might want to have a think about where the power for that power cell charger inside the cyclops is coming from...
…….. oh.
@@ButchX3 We all been there... psyhics sucks!
@@ButchX3 if you get a thermal charger for your vehicles then it doesn't matter as much what you put inside your cyclops.
@@casual_time_machine6536 Yeah but then you don't need the power cell charger anymore anyway.
Funny enough that did use to work on older builds but they fixed it.
There is an intentional death to mushrooms in the speedrun of this game, so I actually have seen people die to mushrooms a lot.
Here are some tips regarding the Cyclops:
1. You can dock both the Prawn and the Seamoth in the Cyclops, but, in my opinion, the Prawn is the better choice here.
2. The Cyclops is running on 6 powercells, located on both sides of the engine. Everything you build on the Cyclops uses its energy, meaning a powercell charger is useless. You're literally using powercells to charge other powercells. The translation is 1:1, so you neither gain or lose energy, it's just pointless. Also, it's charging your docked vehicle.
3. You might have noticed some fire extinguishers hanging on the walls of the Cyclops. I wonder what you would need them for...
4. You can still move the Sub while looking through the cameras. I'm not sure if you're gonna use this feature much, but it's good to know either way.
5. The hologram right besides the steering wheel shows nearby bigger predators. Yellow means they noticed you, red means they want to attack you. Deploying a creature decoy will show up as a yellow orb while creatures are displayed as triangles.
I hope this helps you get more familiar with the Cyclops.
Love the series so far, looking forward to the next episode!
Oh I was just about to comment that... well done. You could explain the lure system in 5, but it's fine, he'll get there eventually, like all of us.
Does building solar panels on the cyclopse still work to charge it?
Amazing tips hope he sees your comment
@@SteveMesker To my knowledge you can't build solar panels on the Cyclops. I think that got removed even before 1.0 came out.
It doesn't show stalkers or sandsharks... They have to be bigger than that..
Remember to turn of the engine of the cyclope when your not using it so it doesn't sap the power cell power

A few spoiler free tips for you Captain Butch. On the floating island with the Degasi habitats, you can find 4 different edible plants which can be cultivated inside your base, you can also find the voxel shrub which looks great when planted in wall planters. you can also cultivate creep vines in outside growbeds and its late game cousin by planting its glowing 'fruits'. For the cyclops here are a few tips: Get plant pots in the room where you have the bed, and plant Bulbo trees in each one, place wall lockers and the fabricator on the lower level next to the ladder to the cockpit, they will stick to the sloped walls down there. And lastly DONT charge power cells or batteries in the cyclops, you are basically transferring power from the cyclops power cells at a loss.
Commenting so hopefully he sees this 🙏
you should name it something like "The NopeBoat". Because "nope" is gonna be the general reaction you're gonna have to the places you're taking it.

Butch a small piece of advice is too build indoor grow beds in the cyclops so you don’t have to go outside to get food

wait till he gets the alien containment; he will experience a whole new world.
Gotta love Butch's face when he got in the Prawn Suit and the Cyclops opened its cyclussy so he could slip right in. King moment
What
The name of the cyclops should be "Big Daddy", because you're going to be running back into his safe arms for a hug and a sleep.
The Cyclops is genuinely one of the most fun vehicles i've ever had in any videogame. Mobile base, has a docking station, can be a self-sufficient home. It's perfect
Call it "Conqueror". The act of conquering your fear as well as the depths and the challenges the game has to offer. And the reapers.
This is the best so far
HMS Conquerer is also the only nuclear submarine to sink an enemy ship. (The US has sunk a several by accidentally hitting them)
Your first Subnautica video popped up on my homepage kind of out of nowhere, although I did recently start a new playthrough with a friend using Nitrox for multiplayer. I will admit, I came for the mind-bending horror, but I stayed for a few reasons, the first of which is the quality of your content.

Your style takes me back to 2015 CZcams, where people didn't worry so much about how well the video would do and just played, and I've sat through every second of your 5+ hours of exploring the oceans and enjoyed it immensely.
Second, Subnautica has existed for quite a while, and I'm no stranger to it anymore. It's really intriguing to watch how you work your way through the game for the first time, and it makes me wish I could experience it that way again.
And last, but certainly not least, it's fascinating to watch how you've adapted to a terrible fear of yours over the course of the series. Watching the first episode and your reaction to the environment, I didn't know how far this series would go, but you've pushed through every challenge with a surprising determination.
All in all, I love what you're doing, and I'll leave you with one tip of my own: keep listening to your comments section. There's the odd person making ominous references to later in the game with the hope of freaking you out, but the majority are really knowledgeable people with great tips and advice to make your life easier, while dodging spoilers. See you in the next one!
I really do appreciate you taking the time to watch the video, and leave such a detailed comment. It really does mean alot 💙
@@ButchX3 It's the least I can do when you put your sanity on the line for content 😆
(And if it's ever too much for you, please take a break if you need it. Your mental state is worth more to us than content, take it easy)
Here are a few extra tips for the cyclops (aside from the ones I already read)
- It doesn't take collision damage
- It can't get attacked while you're not in it
- It has an external shield that can absorb minor damage and that regenerates, past 80% the hull will start to have breaches
- It makes noise depending on how fast you move, which can get you noticed. Silent mode will suppress that noise greatly, but it costs a bunch of energy.
My fiancé and I decided the cyclops was too much to lug around in our playthrough so we literally grappled our way through the whole game with the prawn suit 😂 it’s so cool to see you using and loving the cyclops bc I had no clue you could use it as a second base!
I mean, it's big enough.
This game is so intoxicating :D I don't think its appeal can be explained in a single sentence, it's really a whole thing. The perfect mix of fear, terror, peacefulness, wonder, awe, excitment, satisfaction, freedom and guidance. All of that in the most immersive way i have ever experienced. You just do whatever you want! This is akin to alchemy, absolute genius game design imo.
You pretty much named the cyclops yourself, Call it “The Sea Tiger” King Of The Ocean☝🏼
most plants that you can scan or show a name when you hover over them can be slashed with a knife to obtain seeds. Seeds with a blue background in the inventory are water plants, green background means land plant.
15:34 seeing you casually traverse deeper and deeper, not really getting scared anymore, felt so good, even just watching. Loving seeing your progress. Small moment, I know, but its the little things that count.
Thank you so much mate! Glad you’re enjoying the videos 🙏
First reactions to subnautica is what i live for, you are satisfying my hunger for these reactions by more than a mile
Your whole purpose for living is to watch subnautica reactions? Man that's tough.

Ahoy Captain Butch! Thank you for sharing your journey with us 🙂I suggest the following name for your brand new Cyclops: *SS Tiger* 🐯. Proud of your progress and looking forward to the next episode!
Watching you get the Cyclops and discover that it's basically a mobile base that you can build things inside made grin from ear to ear. The Cyclops + Prawn is the perfect pairing, BUT - the Prawn, on its own, is actually a very fast vehicle once you have the jump jet upgrade and the grappling hook. The grappling hook takes some practice to get good with, but once you get the hang of it, it's awesome to 'spiderman' around inside large cave systems.
-Killed by a mushroom
-Flash-banged by a water filtration machine
I think Captain Butch is getting too cocky again
Hey Butch, I haven't finish the episode but I wanted to say that as far as the Bioreactor, the best fuel for it is Reginald fish! They last a significant amount of time and you can keep a bunch in the aquariums in case you need some in an emergency!
Captain Butch: Scared of water
also Captain Butch: Places tons of aquariums in his base
Thanks for the great content Captain Butch! Excited to see you grow as a platform for happiness :)
I really do appreciate it Yeetus! Cant thank you enough for the membership. I also think you may have the best username on the whole of CZcams 😅
As a throwback to a beautiful phenomenon there can obviously only be one name: Boaty McBoatface
Cpt. Butch, love this playthrough of subnautica as it's one of my favorite games and it's super interesting to see a new perspective of the game, also you might wanna turn off the engine when you leave the cyclops to save power
Damn dude. You are a great narrator and writer. The bit about the eggs and waves and thinking about Subnautica while going off to sleep was great. Well done.
Aside from the entertainment I derive from your terror, this is premium level content! I have enjoyed watching you get more comfortable with the open waters of this game, keep it up!!
@ButchX3
i know its an "old" series, but i just love how you're doing EVERYTHING wrong with the cyclops.. just like i did the first time i played the game.. :D
1. leave engine/lights on when not using cyclops, so the battery is flat when you're actually going to use it
2. Put powercell chargers inside the cyclops, thinking you got infinite power.. completely missing the fact that all it will do is drain power from the powercells in the engine and put it in the charger.. No free energy.. sorry..
3. Put all types of crafting and energy-using devices in the cyclops, making the battery drain even quicker than it allready is.
4. Build several lockers, completely ignoring the FACT that the entire first floor is covered in allready built in lockers.
In short.. you're lucky if you end up having a sub that will have power for a short trip to the mushroom forest.. going back might be an issue tho..
Oh and.. again, i realize this series is most likely allready played to the end.. but a "tiiiny" thing i'm surprised noone have told you about:
When you use your sonar.. and now with the cyclops, when you run your engine and/or use the horn.. All these sound-generating devices will signal everything in the ocean and tell everything exactly where you are and where to go if they want a snack.. Sonar gives a small "ping".. which is soundwaves.. which predators tend to be sensitive towards. sub engines create cavitation (google it), which make sound.. and horns.. well.. lots of sound..
Everything tells all the nasties "HERE I AM COME EAT ME"..
Also, some of the baddies in the game are sensitive towards powered machines/engines.. so when you come runing with your seamoth or cyclops it really annoys them.. and what do baddies do when something annoys them? Yep you guessed it.. "CHOMP!!"
Hence why you have the option to kill the engine/lights, turning yourself from an annoying electrical machine to an innocent floating piece of debris that noone cares about.
So yeah.. i'm kinda surprised noone have told you about that yet.. :D
I loved this comment and I didn’t think it through while using the sonar.. now I am freaking out 😂😂😂
I think that watching your happiness from progressing and seeing something like the Cyclops for the first time is the closest I will ever get to feeling that feeling again, myself. This video really made me so happy, and I can't wait for you to go on your next adventure. Congrats!
He was so excited that he didn't even realize that a sand shark was charging him you can for a split second see it face in the sea moth as he enters it 16:53
Putting a power cell charger in the cyclops is so funny to me, you're using the cyclops power to charge powercells that you're putting into the cyclops
2:44 I know exactly what you mean! In the beginning, I was so scared to leave the safe shallows, I wouldn't play unless my friend was there for moral support. Then with time, I started missing the water. If I didn't play for like two days, I'll have this inexplicable urge to get back into the waters again. It really pulls you in!
Before you get over excited and put all your eggs in one Cyclops, just consider it has a health bar.. Captain.
21:09 Name the cyclops megan short for megalophobia the fear of large objects
Iv watched a lot of subnautica play throughs and yours is definitely one of the best. I’m looking forward to future videos
Watching this video, watching the base's power tick down during the intro whilst the bioreactor is inactive and *then seeing him take out the water from the filtration machine, knowing full well just how much power-drain that is?*
Priceless. Absolutely priceless.
Things you should have for your cyclops:
1. A bed ✅
2. Lots of wall lockers, remember you can build on the lower deck there’s just not a lot of room.
3. Grow bed or pots with edible plants from the island.
4. Med kit fabricator - trust me you’ll need this.
5. Modification station, remember you’ll need it for upgrading modules and you don’t necessarily want to run all the way back to your base just to upgrade a depth module.
6. Fabricator. ✅
7. Battery charger. ✅
8. Decorations!
You've come so far, and now it is really showing. Great job on making a cyclops. They depths will becon you even more now, and you will heed its call, not out of force, but desire.
Also my name for the cyclops is "Depth Strider"
Just to let you know you have like lockers already in the Cyclops. They are at the bottom embedded into the wall
Rather small though. I use those to store any equipment used while swimming (suits, propulsion cannon, stasis rifle, laser cutter, medkits, flashlight, helmets, seaglide, whatever else) so I have lots of inventory space for managing and fabricating things inside the Cyclops. Then I just take those things out of the lockers again when I go for a swim.
Inside the cockpit I build a fabricator and wall lockers for food, water and salt; but that's just my way of doing things.
Captain Butch if you use the fabricator, the modification station or the power cell Charger it Will drain energy from youre Cyclops
Hey Butch! I know you mentioned in a previous episode that Jacksepticeye is one of your biggest inspirations. I'd just like to say that, as someone who's been a fan of Jack for 10+ years, this series is giving me the same feeling i got when i first watched him play Subnautica! Such a great series, can't wait to see it continue!
Captain Butch, you can safely hit the mushrooms planted in your growbeds. You can also plant all harvestable plants (including creepvine seed clusters, blood oil and everything else) - so that you have access to them at all times. You can also plant a lot of stuff that has no practical use but looks nice. Indoor growbeds for farming are also extremely usefull.
A fully upgraded prawn suit is in fact - with a little bit of practice - faster than the seamoth.
17:32 That was Atlas, not Hercules.
remember butch, everything in the cyclops uses its power supply, so a powercell charger will just charge the power cells from the ofher power cells, the same applies to a battery charger and a docked vehicle, so you will need to charge the cyclops power cells in your base. And turn the engine off, it wastes energy. And go back to the floating island, you can actually eat samples from the flora, so an infinite food supply, because you can plant it in your cyclops.
i built a fishtank in my Cyclops too. it went well, it was full of fish, until I got abit too exited by the repulsion cannon and kind of accidentally yeeted the fishtank into the 4th dimension lmao
Don't knock chicken and waffles until you try it. Sweet and salty pairs well with each other. Tried it for the first time this year and I'm hooked!😋 16:30
The first time building and exploring the Cyclopes is an unmatched experience for me. So many new cool features and tools are given to the player far beyond what I expected to be given. Tears of the Kingdom will have nothing on this!
Cyclops Name: Dirty Nugget! You're welcome Captain
Big Phil. No question about it. That or Nautilus.
But I must say, Captain Butch, it is a pure delight seeing you overcome the fear, I noticed it in the beginning when you set off in the Seamoth into the kelp forest, talking normally and not be nervous about what was ahead of you.
I have two recommendations for ya, now that you have an exterior growthbed, is to take those glowing creepvine seedclusters, the yellow glowing fruits of the tall seagrass and plant those in the growthbed. When they grow, they provide a lightsource on the outside of your base.
Second, you can replace your divesuit with a reinforced divesuit as you no longer need a radiation suit. I believe you unlocked it in a previous episode. It is much more durable to both damage AND heat. If you ever get your hands on the blueprints for a Thermal Plant, build a few around the thermo vents, I believe there are two of them in the shallows. They provide your base with a constant supply of energy, far superior to solarpanels and the bioreactor. That was three recommendations… hope they are useful.
22:54 Now I want you to name the cyclops “The Reefback.”
Yknow, for the memories 😊
Your comment about the fact that the Rock has actually made people believe he can act had me dying. I just found your channel a few days ago and I am enjoying your Subnautica reactions so far. Not because I enjoy seeing you being tortured but because I have Thalassophobia as well and had pretty much the same experience as you and it's a comfort seeing that I wasn't the only one that was terrorized by this game. My fears had me wanting to turn the game off and stop playing at times but my curiosity had me wanting to continue. The bed was definitely a game changer though.
I would love for you to name either the cyclops or the prawn suit TheRiverMonster!
-
Also may you be glad to know I went to the back the Aurora today in my own survival world without my seamoth, and mainly just my seaglide and scanner to pick up blueprints/scan for titanium with the reaper getting *really* close at times (I had a bunch of medkits on me, but I never got bit once by the big fella)! I had a scanner room close to the Aurora too for saving inv and for scanning fragments/other materials nearby… but it’s nice, fun, and quite exhilarating at times at least :D
There is a reeeeally cool mod you can find on Nexus Mods which adds a docking port base piece for the Cyclops. It lets you dock your Cyclops to the base and climb down a ladder inside.
Your content is so good🔥🔥Deserves so much more recognition
This was the episode I was waiting for. Making the cyclops for the first time was such an amazing moment for me in this game.
oh man I remember when I first built the cyclops, I don't think any game has ever given me such a feeling of accomplishment, happiness and awe as seeing how huge it was and discovering everything I could do with it. I genuinely felt like a kid on Christmas.
The thing with installing a powercell charger is that you're using the Cyclops' power to charge those cells, it's a net zero, you're just transferring energy. Also, the Cyclops charges your docked vehicles too. Every time you use the fabricator, you'll be spending the cyclops' power too. Which isn't to say it's a mistake to turn the Cyclops into a "mobile base", not at all, it's what it's meant for; you just have to be mindful and not set out on long trips with 20% power left.
It's better to just pack extra charged power cells if you're worried about range, or craft modules that'll charge it with solar. Personally I always pack habitat building materials so I can scrounge up a tube with a hatch, power, a fabricator, a power cell charger and one or two lockers anywhere I go.
Hi butch ik the first here I was here since u had 300 subs it’s been a great ride but it’s still going.
Hey Butch, needed to let you know the power cell chargers and battery chargers use the energy from the cyclops, so you would be wasting your time charging up power cells for the cyclops using the energy from the cyclops.
18:08 Knowing that the game can be fussy about the depth of the water where you build the Cyclops, I was grinning like an idiot when you were giving the big buildup to hitting the button. You did not disappoint :) Genuine laugh-out-loud content there - thank you!
I just want to say that you are the best youtuber ive seen soo far this year and i think youre gonna do good and reach far.
ive been really enjoying this series so far but the way you got so excited for the cyclops in this episode was so endearing im going to have to watch all your other content after ive finished this.
The look on your face when you were told that you couldn’t build the cyclops there, after all of that build-up and hype. Perfect
I'm glad your enjoying the amazing game that is Subnautica
You should call your Cyclops "The Bullet" Because you really are shooting through your Thalassophobia playing this game
And because the red stripe is gonna make it fast
BUTCH! If you go to any of the islands, there is going to be a tree called "Bulbo tree" Its like a huge carrot. It is edible and can be planted. You can literally replace your fish with trees. Its very easy to do. And the island that has 3 degasi bases on it, has another tree. Its a "lantern tree". If you consume that, trust me you will never need fish again.
I've watched countless videos and playthroughs of subnautica since it first came out in early access, but none of them are as enjoyable or as entertaining to watch as your series has been, you've made so much progress and I'm so happy to be here! Kepp up the incredible work!
Wow dude, I appreciate this so much 🥹
Captain Butch, FYI, there is already storage in the Cyclops. When you enter from the bottom, the entire wall is storage built into the ship. I also submit "The Kraken" as a sub name.
You never forget your first Cyclops. Mine was called The Eclipse, and she was magnificent.
It's always funny when someone builds a powercell recharger in a cyclops,
"I used the powercells to charge the powercells"
Chicken & waffles...so delightful! Get some nice fried chicken and even make a waffle chicken sandwich. The combo of sweet with savory/salty is just so nice. It's like having bacon with maple syrup on it. If you've never had it, I recommend a try.
Captain butch, I understand you are very happy with your new submarine, but I wanted to let you know, power cell chargers won’t work in the cyclops because it draws its power from the other power cells. Love what you do and it’s inspiring to see you come so far, captain.
Another great episode! You know what a new vehicle means? New depths to explore. Can't wait to see you go deeper, the depths are calling to you.
P.S. put a fruit tree in your cyclops, it'll help with long journeys. You'll be taking a lot of those soon.
Lmfao really love this episode. Was just a good lil wholesome and funny one. With all the "Cannot build here" 3 times. 😂😂
great video as always butch! congrats on makign the cyclops!!! its literally my best friend bc its so useful and its the only way i dont piss my pants in the deep down dark deep
L on the mushroom death though
i also have some really important tips for using the cyclops i suggest reading, unless you wish to figure everything out by trial and error then i guess skip this
- you dont want the powercell charger in the cyclops, it will just zap energy from your currently used powercells and youll go in loops ending up with less charge than you started with, what you want to do is build a whole bunch of extra powercells and then recharge them whenevr u come back from your adventures
- everytime you park the cyclops for a while, youll want to turn the engine off just to save that extra energy, the cyclops in general does a lot of power consumption so thats the main thing you want to prepare for
- silent running mode is literally your best friend, it is basically a "you cant see me" button, but again, uses up a lot of energy
- when you dock vehicles in the cyclops, they get recharged by draining some of the cyclops energy so beware of that
- you cannot go below your docked vehicles depth limit or it *will* explode. e.g. seamoth depth limit is 300, but the cyclops goes to 400. the seamoth will get damaged and explode
- strongly suggest getting some planters in the cyclops so you have food and water on the go
- try not to set the engine on fire :)
But if you do set it on fire you’ll get to hear some of the best music in the game. So… maybe just to see
Butch butch butch..... Chicken and waffles is a match made in heaven, you get the sweetness from the waffle with it's slight softness and syrup and the saltiness and crunch from the chicken it's divine
I need to point out something about the power cell charger inside a cyclops.
Basically you are charging your power cells with power cells.
So there is no value out of it in the end since it nullifies your power gain.
Battery charger still draws power but at least you get more charges (recommended to build that instead).
Hey, don't mind about the mushrooms, i died like that in my first ever run, they are acid, so you just have to keep a distance to the mist they release when you cut. Loving the content, rooting for you! Oh, if you can, go back to the big tree. I don't want to spoil, so just try to look at the roots, if you can. You can google if you don't feel confident. Congratulations for the cyclops too! That's literally too huge to call a milestone
Definitely make an interior grow bed with seeds from the floating island (in one of the degasi bases at the top of a mountain there is a tree with seeds on it thats good to take with you, you've already been there but didn't realise you plant the orange seeds growing from it to grow more)
The reason there are no waves is because the lack of land masses means the energy from any currents or movement on the surface simply dissipates into the surrounding water instead of getting concentrated the way it would near a shoreline.
Anything that consumes power like the the power cell charger and fabricators will still take power from the cyclops when making something. Basically charging a power cell drains a power cell in the engine the same percentage. You can definitely still have them there and use them a lot later in the game with a certain upgrade
Making great progress, keep it up and we’ll be here for it!
18:43 i had a feeling that was going to happen 🤣
You should put the power cell charger on your base because it actually drains your cyclops power when you use it
Butch: We use Power cell to charge Powercell
small Hint for the Captain: on both sides of the Engine there are 3 Powercells, so you need 6 fully charged cells for 100%
I like the idea of naming the cyclops the "Deep Sh-t" because thats what youre gonna be getting in later on in the game.
Fun fact: deconstructing base piece, no matter what it is, returns 100% of all materials used to create it, so it is entirely possible to simple deconstruct and reconstruct pieces like your radio to move them from your base to your Cyclops~
Don’t knock chicken and waffles until you try it. Obviously waffles are a sweet breakfast food, but fried chicken goes really well with the sweet syrup, and replaces sausage or bacon as your meat. It takes a lot of preparation, but it’s a unique flavor, so if you’re craving it, there’s nothing you can replace it with
Captain Butch, The reefbacks are the nicest creatures in subnautica u can even scan them to read how they live but remember it can't kill you
Butch! Honestly, you Really need a couple remote bases!
Nothing as big as your main one, just a couple multi rooms with a fabricator storage and a bed. That way you dont have to drive back for dark all the time!
The giant Mushroom Tree where you got gel sacs is a great example. Lithium, some fish, few predators. And you can put a room up high for solar power!
I LOVE THIS EPISODE! I couldn’t wait for you to get the cyclops and here it is! I cannot wait for you to get the upgrades for this thing! I can’t wait to see you again Captain Butch! May the cyclops serve you well.
Possible name for cyclops: Stormsurge
Great video m8! It's good that you're facing your fears, and I really enjoy watching you play the game. Subnautica is one of my favorites after all.
Captain Butch has thalassophobia, yet unintentionally gets the best shot of a Reefback in Subnautica history.
hey man, I just watched your Sons of the Forest video(absolutely LOVED IT, you should play again and try the new updates) and you said that you were not even at 500 subs then. In 2 months and now you're at over 12 thousand? Conrats man. You're growing fast and deserve it. Love the content and your videos are always the best!
