Unable to create the Prawn Suit

[A Dreamt Monochrome]

As the title says, I'm unable to craft the P.R.A.W.N Suit.

I've gathered all the materials listed for the blueprint, and the option in the Mobile Vehicle Bay's menu is highlighted, but when I click it, nothing happens. I've already tried looking around to see if anyone else has encountered this issue, but I couldn't find any answers.

Though one thing I did note was that the materials required have been changed at some point. Before, you needed 2x Aluminum Oxide Crystals, 2x Plasteel Ingots, 2x Uranium, and 2x Lubricant, but now you need Aerogel in place of Uranium.

I've tried to use both materials, I've saved and restarted the game, I've even tried moving the Vehicle Bay over deeper areas thinking that may be related to the issue somehow, but I was still unsuccessful in creating it, and I'm assuming that this is a bug. I'm playing the stable version.

If someone could confirm whether this is a bug or not, or maybe suggest a solution for this problem if they've run into it, that'd be appreciated. Thanks.

only thing i couldnt find was ther spore seeds, very little info on the net about the locations of it, looked in most of the suggested places but never found it, after 2-3 hours just searching for it i conceeded it to be bugged on my map and spawned in 6 pieces, the rest of the items needed were available and i got them in the legit way, once i had all the items i was able to make the PRAWN, so the mobile vehicle bay list as of the precursor update is correct, if you have all the listed stuff and it wont let you make it, then it sounds like you have a bug

Yeah, a bug is all I can chalk it up to be unless you have to have all of the arm components' blueprints before you can make it. I don't think that would be necessary though. Either way, this outcome is pretty disappointing, as I'd been looking forward to using the suit for a while now, and I really would not prefer to start a new game just because of an unagreeable bug. :L

yeah, thats a bug.

drop the stuff in a hole and then just spawn a prawn in.

I found that you have to make a new mobile vehicle bay. It's dumb I have 3 of them now, one for 2 seamoths, 1 prawn and 1 cyclops lol.

Funny, I was considering trying that. xD Didn't think that'd work though, so I just took Iráñëth's suggestion and spawned my prawn in. Thank you though! I'll have to keep this in mind for any future playthroughs, or if anyone I know runs into the same problem.

I found 3 of them at the aurora crash site closer towards the back end in the rocks. I used the knife to just gather the seeds and I put them in a grow bed outside my base so I don't have to go hunting for them anymore. Just have to make sure I replant them when I start running low.

3 of them behind the ship? Oh boys...I noticed since I 'repaired' the reactor for the Aurora, there's been an increase in Reaper Leviathons (not sure if repairing it is linked, but I do know I only saw '1' Leviathon near the rear. Now...there's like 3 or more in that area alone).

What do you mean by dropping it in the hole, mind giving me a clue because its a bit vague for me.

He means throw the stuff away and spawn the suit from the console.

I've got this problem with the Cyclops (i've been playing for about a year, with approx 1,000hrs of play).

I can confirm, my MVB just refused to make my PRAWN suit, but building a new bay solved the issue. Bit of a bummer, but at least the bug doesn't ripple you completely.

Hi, I can confirm that this also an issue up until the September upgrade and the solution is still the same make anew MVB

I can confirm the "create a new Vehicle bay" theory.
Have had my save since EA and nothing happened when I pushed the Prawn button.
Created a new Vehicle bay, deployed and voila, all good :D
