Cyclops teleport bug
Generally this game has been very stable, so, when my Cyclops teleported a few hundred metres away with me being thrown around inside I thought this was part of the game when I got too close to an alien installation for too long or something.

However, the 3rd time this happened I was teleported 10km above the planet watching my cyclops fall away below me. Eventually I was reset/killed and ended up back in my base, I took my sea moth to track my sub and prawn but they were still 2km away when I reached the void and killed by ghost leviathans.

Since the 1st teleport I have somehow occasionally ended up standing on top of the cyclops under various scenarios, I've seen posts about a PDA bug, and taken fall damage etc. but nothing about teleporting.

Ran a verify of game files okay and system is not new but well ahead of recommended specs
i7-4770k, 32GB ram, 2x GTX1070 in SLI with game running on NVMe SSD

Kind of a game breaker really if I can't rely on the cyclops

Same kind of problem here :
- First time i was inside my base and was sudenly sent outside. Can't remember was i was doing exactly.
- Today i was inside my Cyclops maybe 250m deep, reading the PDA when sudenly i was in the water with my Cyclops slowly spining a few tens of meters away

System W10 pro brand new install running on I5 8600K, 16G ram, GTX1060 6G, 500G SSD

Second time now that i end like the OP, standing outside on top of the Cyclops
First time was while reading PDA second time i was not doing anything special, just standing there thinking ;)
Once "outside" my O2 is not depleting and i am not able to swim but i can walk and the sound is the "walk on metal floor" one, if i walk further i fall from the Cyclops still not able to swim until i hit the sea floor, then i can swim back to Cyclops

I've been able to get back into my Cyclops with the console ('warpme') but this issue has gotten worse and more frequent.

Can't tell what triggers it since it hasn't just been using the PDA or accessing lockers.

There's also a weird duplication bug happening at the same time, I've gotten doubles of my tools and once upgrades for my scanner room. Can't say if that's a result of bringing up the debug console but the above command is the only one I know.

I guess I'm 2/3 of the way through the game and my impression is that I need a working Cyclops to finish it (?)

Since I've fallen in love with Subnautica I really don't want to continue with such an immersion-breaking bug, but the info I've found on it has been inconclusive and sadly it seems to have been around for years.
Really hoping there's a fix somewhere.

Okay, so I'm aware of the "walking on top of the cyclops" bug and it's been more than just using the PDA which has happened to me with increasing frequency too although this might just be a matter of progressing in the game to a point where you're using the cyclops more often. It is disappointing this immersion-breaking bug has been around so long so I hope it gets some attention.

I was wondering though whether anyone else has been teleported whilst inside the cyclops.

Anyway, all I can advise is: save. often.

Just had this bug happen. My first attempt at a full play trough, about 35 - 40 hours put into this so far and really enjoying the story. Hardcore mode, so only one life and no saving.

One moment standing in my Cyclops, the next being catapulted into space. When distance reached 4 km, I figured I would try to relog. That helped sorta, stared falling down again, but landed about 2.5 km from the Cyclops. Started swimming towards it, and then had my first encounter whit what I assume was a ghost reaper. Game over.

I'm ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ furious right now !
