Prawn Suit won't jump

[Matemo]

My Prawn suit is below the thermal base and when I try to jump out it stalls out and only lifts a couple feet. I can't get it out. I took all the upgrades off and went through the base which got me to the surface but The suit didn't dissappear so I don't think I can make a new one... and now I seem to be our of Ion Cubes... and the only ones left you need the Prawn to get. Ideas?

Maybe bring a grapple hook to it to help get it out.

I had the same issue with it refusing to jump. I quit the game, reloaded and it was fine again. It's just a bug.

I reloaded multiple times to no avail. I think I (may) have just enough Ion Cubes to be able to complete the game, but man it's a lot of swimming through terrifying ♥♥♥♥.

That's rough mate, can't you get what you need to build another one?

ok that means it fell in between the floors. a prawn cant jump on dry ground. yes you can make a new one if you have the assets.strip it and turn its beacon off. i still have 1 stuck in a wall in the aquarium. R.i.p. Thor!

Same thing happened to me and it glitched out you will have to spawn a new one with the console sorry man press f1 or f3 (forgot which) enable console and spawn prawn, spawn exosuit is the command

[Matemo]

This caused me to get a few extra hours out of the game backtracking from the Lost River through ILZ and the blood kelp forest to move stuff around, but right at the end they thoughtfully provided me with the last 2 Cubes I needed. Now I just need to find a trillion credits.

Grapple does not work when it thinks you're on land. It won't even pull the Prawn a couple feet.

I think you have two choices. 1. make a new exosuit. 2. abandon it
This last one may not work but you may be able to get it inside a moonpool

9 months later, this issue is not fixed. Got the same problem in the same location, except it's not just the prawn suit, my character can't swim either. So Im completely stuck with no way to get to the facility and activate the teleport. Very annoying, I'd rather avoid dying over this just to not even be sure to reset that bug. It's a game killer

Use the console command "warpme"

Did you report it? I didn't.

Posting for posterity. I have the same issue with my prawn suit and got it stuck in Jellyshroom Cave. At first, I just modded it with drill arms and mined stuff in the cave with the intention of leaving in there.

But then I discovered that you can do a physics "elevator" glitch on the Prawn suit which I used to rescue it from the depths. and its real simple to do.

First I moved it under the area I wanted it to go up into then rotated it so it to face the direction I want it to go when it had enough height. Then exited the prawn. My prawn would do that sitting animation (cause it thought it was on land). Now swim around behind the prawn suit and into the small curve of its lower back. this should wedge you under its upper backpack. Now simply hold spacebar and the character will effortlessly lift the entire prawn suit straight up. depending on where you swim into the back affects how fast you can lift it vertically. do it too low (under the pelvis) and it'll rise far too slowly. While lifting you can spin around and see your progress. once you get enough height face the back and swim into it to slowly push it away from the pit it was in.

This on its own won't fix the actual issues with the prawn's glitched state. but you could use this to push it into an area that would fix it's state.

so im not sure about this but maybe there is a glitch happening and i have seen it before but like the glitch thinks you are on land when you are underwater i have only seen it in the lava zones
