prawn suit use?

[cswheele]

i have a hard time finding a use for something that goes no deeper than my cyclops. once i get to the lava zones which im sure will be part of the story later im going to need to go deeper that 1500m

The PRAWN is useful once you get the drill arm so you can mine large mineral deposits. You'll need it to explore the active lava zone as well.

It is also good for finding things like wrecks and fragments in deep areas that are too narrow or tight for your cyclops to move through.

The propolsion arm is waaaaay too much fun. Being able to throw boxes at sand sharks on the grassy plains is.
Though as Huh? said, the biggest use is getting those big deposits with th drill arm.

With the Mk3 upgrade, the PRAWN can goto depths of 1700m.

ok now i understand... this actually helps. i havent really spent time with the prawn, i have one for all of my bases. but now i can find some use if it goes to 1700.

Currently there is only one area in the game (except for the void that surrounds the map) that is Deeper than 1500m. It is a large sand pit inside the active lava zone. The Cyclops can be stationed just above the pit but the PRAWN Suit with Mk3 Upgrade is required to explore the base of the pit.

Currently there is nothing inside the pit but this area will hold a major story location later in development. It remains to be seen whether the PRAWN suit will actually be required to fully explore this location.

There is also a resource in the Inactive/Active Lava Zones that can only be harvested using the PRAWN Suit drill upgrade so that is another reason to bring it down there.

would make sense if it were required to explore. also ive seen some concept art for other subs. any idea if those will be worked on. because a couple of the large concepts look incredible. and would serve for more endgame type build. give u something to really strive for.
