Cyclops-PRAWN stuck/launched bug solution
There's this one bug surrounding the cyclops I'm sure many have encountered. If you are to exit the cyclops in a PRAWN suit, and then re-enter soon after, you will become completely stuck and trapped inside your PRAWN suit (which is now in the cyclops). Your hunger, thirst, and oxygen won't drain. Buuuut if you wait long enough the menu will allow you to save your game again!

The only problem being that if you save and exit in this state... the cyclops will freak out and launch you and the cyclops (with the PRAWN safe inside) several kilometers into the air. If you're in the safe shallows, this sometimes lands the player on top of the Aurora, and your cyclops in the mercy of the ecological deadzone (which surprisingly is not hounded and destroyed right away so you can still save it and get away with your cyclops, PRAWN, and shreds of your sanity if you're brave enough).

But... if you are able to pause while you and the cyclops are still in the air (preferably not too far from the starting position) you can save and exit again. When you enter the game again it will forget the momentum you and your cyclops had, dropping you right back into the water (and probably crushing and killing you in the process).

I've never tested this in deep water or caves, but in the latter instance this might get your cyclops and PRAWN lodged in a wall. Tell me how it goes!
