Cyclops controls? [SOLVED]

[SeeJay]

Hi all.

Just build me a Cyclops and have a question regarding the controls.
(At work now so I can't check key bindings).

I know that 'C' and 'Space' controls up/down, but I haven't figured out how to pitch up/down.
Is there a way to use the mouse as you do with the Seamoth?
Or is this vessel always in horizontal alignment?

You can't pitch the Cyclops up/down. A and D rotate the Cyclops counterclockwise / clockwise. Think of it as a tank.

W and S move it forward/backwards in the direction it is facing.

You can use the hull cameras to look around independently while the Cyclops is moving - this is useful for navigating and finding resources.

You could FORCE it to pitch up/down by catching one end of it on/under a rock and ascending/descending, but it will always right itself slowly. (Note there is a bug where the player can get 'ejected' from the Cyclops as it rights itself. Suggest building a chair to sit in if this starts happening to you)

No pitch he says. HA!

"Wanted to drive"? Never. I don't want to drive the cyclops because for me that's never a joyful experience. I build one if I have to (which thankfully is rare) but I have much more fun with the seamoth and prawn.

If they had added hotkeys to control it (toggling engine speed, silent running, cameras etc) and used a non-serif font for the compass I might have a better opinion of it.
