Is there a list of which creatures can damage the Cyclops somewhere?

[Hillbilly_Dave]

If not, can we make one?

[Zemecon]

From the wiki:
1) Bone Shark
2) Crabsquid
3) Ghost Leviathan (Can this even be verified yet?)
4) Lava Lizard
5) Reaper Leviathan
6) River Prowler
7) Sea Dragon Leviathan

From Klegran himself:

So the River Prowler is in there. And Warpers aren't, apparently. Klegran includes the Sea Emperor while the wiki includes the Sea Dragon instead so I can't say which of them will attack the Cyclops and which one won't. And, thanks to this thread it has been verified that AmpEels can damage the Cyclops even though they won't attack it - they investigate it and occasionally attempt to interact with it but no aggressive behaviour.

[Hillbilly_Dave]

The emporer won't attack it for 2 reasons. 1, it's friendly, and 2, you'll never get the cyclops into the emperor's tank. I don't think you could even get the cyclops to the final facility because the passageways down to the active lava zone are so small but even if you could, the cyclops isn't going to be able to get inside that final facility.

If the hull was an eggshell it would not be able to stand the pressure. The pressure does weaken the hull, but that is not what we are seeing here. The bone sharks do damage regardless of depth.

But the problem with the list is it isn't really accurate. The Cyclops takes collision damage from everything, so while creatures like sand sharks and stalkers aren't supposed to damage it, driving into one will cause damage. This was shone when players tested spawning amp eels near the submersible and while they wouldn't attack it, just rubbing against the hull caused a lot of damage.

The collision detection is bugged and needs to be tweaked. I'm sure UWE is aware of this and are working on it.

The hull isn't an eggshell, but you're acting like it's 10 feet thick... It's still a very thin hull, subs use very thin hulls because they don't go ramming into things. They're even very specifically shaped to help equalize pressure. Something the size of a boneshark(they aren't small, they're larger than the player), with armor plating, could easily punch holes into the Cyclops.

Sandsharks and stalkers won't damage your Cyclops either as far as I'm aware, I've literally rammed into them at flank speed on accident and it did no damage. If you have a video that demonstrates otherwise, feel free to post it.

Ampeels specifically were an oversight with their area effect electrical damage. They do not damage the Cyclops by rubbing on it, it has nothing to do with the collision. They damage it by being in close proximity for a period of time using their electrical damage. This was addressed in experimental and your Cyclops is now invulnerable to all damage while the player is not inside. Feel free to test it out yourself. Ampeels should still damage the Cyclops with electrical damage if the player is inside and stays in very close proximity to them. This is intended behavior.

The collision is pretty decent as far as I've seen. Though the hitboxes don't line up perfectly with the sub graphically, I haven't had any real problems with it.

Just for referrence, the Cyclops can reach a depth of 1500 meters, at that depth the pressure is 2201.54 pounds per square inch.

So being rammed by a bone shark is apparently the equivalent of getting hit with over twenty two hundred pounds, which is insane. That's like a baby seal knocking over a rhino.

if you are going to use math and science to validate an argument, at least get the logic right. The force applied by the bone shark is on top of the water pressure. Just because a bone shark is touching the hull doesn't make the pressure magically go away.

How did I miss this? People are always mentioning this...

Feel free to test it, in fact post a video. Sandsharks are NOT small fish either. Holefish are small fish. Sandsharks are large sharks, they are in fact larger than the player. If you were swimming in the ocean in real life and you saw a shark LARGER THAN YOU, would you say it's a "small fish"?

What about the River Prowler (or Spine Eel)? can it damage cyclops? I want to enter the lost river with cyclops carrying the P.R.A.W.N suit but I am scared for the Cyclops

[Atlas MK II]

The only thing that can harm the Cyclops in the Lost River is the juvenile Ghost Leviathan, which is fairly easy to sneak past.

Thanks Also is anything else except then a ghost leviathan can harm the Prawn suit in thr lost river?

[Hernok]

There is no need for list... all agresive creatures can damage the cyclops...

Crabsquids are also able to damage the Cyclops, from what I remember. And just about every aggressive creature can damage the P.R.A.W.N. suit.

Crabsquids are not in the lost river

You shoud worry only about leviathan class creatures. Everything else does so little damage, it's instantly covered by autorepair system. And everything attacking cyclops loses aggro when engine is muffled or turned off (except leviathans that spawn in the void)

In some parts of the Lost River they are.

they"guard" only one entrance afaik, the one next to where orange passcard is used

[FuriousD]

The cyclops radar tells you when potential threats are near. It's the aggressive leviathons, crab squid, and the electric eels. They show up as red/yellow markers on the 3d radar if you look bottom right i think.
