My prawn suit is stuck :))))
Went underneath a bridge of coral or rock and I have no idea how to get it out and I'm getting rly ticked off at it. Any help would be very appreciated.

have you tried using a repulsion cannon on it? Alternately: maybe detonating a vortex torpedo behind it would cause it to be dragged out.

If you're able to exit the Prawn, you're better off just doing so and high-tailing it back to safety, then making a new one.

If you can't, you can spawn an aggressive creature who may be able to dislodge you: Press F3 to open one of the debug consoles, and uncheck "Disable Console" if it's checked; then, press either Enter or ~ to open the console command line; then, type "spawn boneshark 1". I haven't tested it but I figure bonesharks are large enough to do the job without being a constant threat afterward.

I don't know that this will guaranteed work, and if it doesn't you might get more stuck, which is why I recommend abanonding your current Prawn if you're able to exit it (make sure grab the upgrades and stuff in storage.)

My prawn suit was stuck also like that. I finally had to use the console command "dig" until it had enough room to dislodge from the arch. Remember to use a number after "dig", representing how large a hole. I went up to 5 before my prawn dropped down and dislodged.

Tried the repulsion cannon, it doesn't even attatch to it? If I'm wording it correctly. But I'll try the vortex torpedo.

I was in the safe shallows when I took that screenshot, so not much to hurt me there lol. I was under the impression that if I disabled the console it would mess with my achievements? It's my first time playing the game so I really don't want to start over on a new save, because my first reaction was just to either make a new one or spawn a new one in but a friend warned me that it would inhibit me from getting more achievements.

Wow that sounds like my situation exactly, it's almost like the top is just stuck inside of the arch and I can't move it whatsoever. But like my reply to the other person, wouldn't using the console inhibit me from getting the rest of my achievements?

You should double-check the wikia or something, but that wasn't my experience. I had to use the command line to get myself unstuck, then continued to get achievements after that.

If your'e really worried, though, I would recommend just cutting your losses and making a new Prawn since you're able to exit it. Spawning an aggressive entity won't guarantee anything, especially since you're out of it and it's more likely the fish will come after you instead of the Prawn.

I guess the general consensus from the wikia was that you have to restart your game or something after turning the console back off? Lol I hate not having a direct answer about this.

https://i.imgur.com/lVquBtp.jpg Prawn is released! I used the console and hopefully my achievements will still appear after this, but "Dig" command along with a number was able to get it out. I used "Dig 5". :SBpanda:

Hooray! Please do let us know if you continue to get achievements or not (most achievements are about story progress, so you should know after you hit a few important areas.)

I just made a seamoth to test it for the achievement and I got it, I'll update this when I get something that I don't have to make :)

This worked for me just now. Got stuck in my prawn suit in a cave under a kind of plant growth and tried everything to get out but couldn't move an inch. Managed to get out with console command 'dig 5'. Thanks
