How can I destroy my Cyclops?

[1Erik1]

Well rather recently I have had the same bug with my dear Cyclops as I had with the Seamoth multiple times before:

When coming close to or even using the vehicle the fps drops down to 2 fps,which is horrible.

The only "solution" I found to this problem was to simply destroy my previous vehicle and spawn a new one via console to "refresh" it.

So my question remains:Is there a way to permanently destroy a cyclops?As I seriously do not want this lag-o-meter existing anywhere anymore.Too bad I will have to go through the trouble to recreate the cyclops and move resources around in this laggy piece of crap,but not being able to destroy it for good would be a real bummer.

If there is no other solution I'll probably just go to the end of the map and let it sink there for eternity and beyond.

Is a Reaper able to destroy it by any chance?

As far as i know it can't be destroyed. Sinking it will not. Reaper also will not. Letting it sink sounds like a gamble it might get worse?!

[1Erik1]

Something that has sunken 10000 meter or whatever depth the end of the map has will most certainly not be rendered anymore ever again.

[ExoSkull]

try to bring it to 300 metres depth, that start driving it against a wall, to let it sink. i think it works

maybe a sea dragon in the lava zone

If you take the Pressure Compensator out and sink the Cyclops past crush depth then it will be destroyed. The trick is where to do it. Most biomes won't allow you to do this easily so you might have to look a bit. A Blood Kelp region would be good. So would the Dunes, the Sea Treader's Path, the Sparse Reef, the Grand Reef, and possibly the Koosh Zone.

dose this work in sandbox mode also?

[Zemecon]

I don't see why not.

There are also console commands you can use if you are not against that sort of thing.

go to edge of the map and ram it against a wall (or let ghost leviathans attack it). Leave ths ship and it will sink to void - never see light of day

[dreamrider]

Remove any fire suppression.
Run at Flank Speed until a fire starts.
Leave the Cyclops via Seamoth or PRAWN.

Eventually the Cyclops will burn and explode.
There will be an icon marking the wreckage, however.

in the future i would recommend performing a cell cache purrge before destroying vehicles.
