How to pick up mobile vehicle bay?
I built and deployed it, but have no vehicle blueprints. I'm worried it will float away if I leave it, how to pick it up?

Go underneath it, look at the base of it and left click. There should be a prompt saying "Pick-up MVB"

Like any other item you left click but in a specific spot. If you swim around the vehicle bay you will notice "Pick up" and "Climb". It takes a bit of mouse pointing/navigating to find the right spot. Search and you will find it. Good luck

All I get is climb, no matter where I point to it. I'm on experimental version, maybe it's bugged. Will it drift away?

Like many things in life, it all depends on where you stick it...your pointer, in this case.

Hold down space bar to keep yourself on the surface making it easier to get closer.

Just as I say that I finally get the prompt, I have to be at the back pointing cursor to the platform where I would stand, and it comes and goes because of the bobbing in the water.

Its not an experimental bug, I just moved mine to a new base location this morning.

Just keep looking, you'll get the correct angle, but the blue hand prompt should change to allow you to pick it up.

I just tried it and you can still pick it up. If it was a bug it would have to be reproduced on another computer which I was unable to. Here are a few tips

A. Climb the mobile vehicle bay
B. Point the mouse down at the bottom of the bay while you are standing on it
C. Left Click once you have the "Pick Up"
D. Voila you picked it up

That was the easiest click spot to pick the bay up. Other times if you are floating in the water you have the point the mouse at an exact certain spot.

For me to pick it up I had to stand atop the control panel and look down to where I would normally stand if I chose the climb option :o

climb on top of it then click the base.

i use my cyclops to move mine while deployed, it requires a little effort to snag it and pull it along.

oddly enough i had a dead peeper on the top of my cyclops near the rear section and it was forcing my cyclops downwards until i removed it. the MVB however doesn't do that.
