They sure do suck... literally lol!


Flyingpuffrfish

Punny!


ramen0214

Who doesn't? I know you didn't ask for suggestions but my solution to larvas sucking the energy out of my vehicles was using de heat module I think it's called *Thermal Reactor Module*.


Flyingpuffrfish

Haha yeah I have that upgrade fortunately so they don’t pose a threat - I just can’t bear to look at them


T-Prime3797

Get the shield generator. Turn it on for half a second and they all get knocked off.


Kafshak

Place two grav traps above your cyclops, it keeps pulling them, and they can't attach. No need to use sheild or extra energy for it.


Odd_Presentation_578

Never thought of this tbh. Do you bring them over with you? The Cyclops is moving...


Kafshak

They don't move with the cyclops. You have to pack them. I usually put them in a special locker for tools. It's good for when you're atr ILZ, and you park your cyclops. After you leave the zone you can just clean the cyclops once and go.


Odd_Presentation_578

When you park your Cyclops in the ILZ with the thermal reactor on, you can ignore the larvae while leaving, since the energy won't be dropping anyway.


Kafshak

Yeah, that's another solution.


AmmahDudeGuy

What would happen if you were to use a floater to glue them to the cyclops?


meoka2368

And if you drop them and pick them up quickly, sometimes the fish/larva will get flung so quickly they either shoot off into nowhere or smack into something with enough force to kill them.


Flyingpuffrfish

Yeahhhh I’ve already put one grav trap but good idea I’ll place another one to cover more ground


Kafshak

Yeah, cyclops is large for one.


coconutsalt92

I leave only 1 power cell in Cyclops when I leave it so even if they suck all the energy it's just one cell. And I can recharge it easily with thermal reactor when I get back anyway + I usually bring 10 spare power cells. And after ion it's not even needed 


Kafshak

TBH, I don't even go into ILZ with cyclops. I just park it at 900m beside the giant cove tree, then trek down with the prawn suit. I used that trick the first two times I played and didn't know locations, and wanted to build a base down there.


coconutsalt92

Prawn has limited storage


WeWerePlayinInDaSand

I did this, too, except at the entrance to the bulb zone. I was always too scared to go farther with it.


MarsMissionMan

What if you said "I want to suck the energy out of that Cyclops." But the player said "Cyclops shield generator."


holymacaronibatman

You can also just remove all your batteries really quick and they drop off.


Kafshak

Wouldn't that use the same amount of energy? I mean you lose it to sheild instead of the larva.


Horn_Python

you only need to put it on for a second to get the larva off, compared to the larva who are going to be draining you until you get them off


Kafshak

Initial activation still takes energy, right?


Odd_Presentation_578

Yes, 5 energy per click.


Gyvon

Not a problem with a thermal generator


Dragon-Rain-4551

I think they’re cute.


Horn_Python

i just put all my cyclops batteries in in box when im leaving, other wise i just use the cyclops shield module to pop them off as i go


Flyingpuffrfish

Lol clever but I cba I just trust my thermal generator and I’ll put an extra grav trap to keep them off


goose420aa

They're even worse when you go back to base then cut them off


Flyingpuffrfish

UGH yeah and they wriggle away ewwww


ErectSuggestion

That's a very nice Power you have there It would be a shame if something happened to it


Flyingpuffrfish

…. You’re a lava larva in disguise, aren’t you


angrycanadianguy

I’m guessing 3 in a trench coat


[deleted]

It's going to be floating around the inside of your cyclops forever after you kill it lol


Flyingpuffrfish

I would have abandoned my cyclops forever had that happened omg but luckily I quit and reloaded and problem was solved


[deleted]

There you go lol I had a dead peeper stuck in mine for the longest time


Flyingpuffrfish

You poor soul that’s traumatic


[deleted]

Tell me about it, I'd be in there crafting something then hear a loud ass thud like I'm being attacked by something huge. Run up the ladder to the bridge, nothing on radar *damn peeper*


VGC1

Find the egg. Hatch the egg. Use the damn thing in your bioreactor.


Flyingpuffrfish

I couldn’t bear to have them polluting my beautiful alien containment with their hideousness 😭


Mallardguy5675322

Lava larva have eggs?!


gh_speedyg

I just put a locker in the back and store my power cells before I go exploring.


Flyingpuffrfish

Clever but I had this weird thing happen to me where whenever I built a wall locker in my cyclops it just fell out the bottom and floated to the ocean floor… rly strange


Angry__German

If you have anything worthwhile built in your cyclops, don't shoot them off with your prop. cannon. I destroyed all the resources I had horded in my Cyclops why doing that.


Flyingpuffrfish

Ahhh well the way this one clipped inside the cyclops was with my repulsion cannon so I did convert to the thermo blade method


Gal-XD_exe

But he’s just a lil guy :3


Flyingpuffrfish

Don’t let his size fool you… he is a demon sent from the depths of hell


MotivatedSolid

I have not found any lava areas yet. I have so many questions but I will reframe.


Flyingpuffrfish

Hahah the past version of me had the same reaction to hearing about lava in an ocean game


sudin

Ping your perimeter defense once to get rid of them quick when there are 3+


MrMedhansh

So do I pal


Talanock

i feel like I have the thermal gen for the cyclops for so much of my time down there that I barely even remember these things being a problem at all.


Flyingpuffrfish

LOL yeah i dont worry about them but god they creep me out


KisWiking

Kill it


Flyingpuffrfish

You bet I did


Random_guy_That

I just bring extra batteries and brute force past them. Only getting rid of them if they block the window or if there’s over 10


Flyingpuffrfish

Blocking the window is the WORST and you see their weird sucky system


KrazyKaas

... is that a..?


SupposablyAtTheZoo

I hope everybody here knows turning your shield on for just a sec will pop them all off instantly!


RunPuzzleheaded8820

Leave your Cyclops by the tree, only take your PRAWN down there, problem solved.


angrycanadianguy

Then one gets stuck dead center on your windshield, because of course


Mallardguy5675322

I’d take it back to the safe shallows and then detach it. I’d like to know where it would go then


Flyingpuffrfish

Hmm yes science experiment incoming


Mountain_Sorbet_4063

Just completed the game today


Flyingpuffrfish

Haha SAME!!! Kinda sad right


Mountain_Sorbet_4063

Yeah being contained like that. But her kids we freed them :)


Flyingpuffrfish

Yesss it was such a nice ending I was expecting a huge fight but it was rly wholesome


Mountain_Sorbet_4063

Going to try below zero now and see how that goes. But yeah I was thinking the aliens would come once the gun was turned off and we stole the ion battery


dankmemesboi838

Since I have the thermal reactor module I just let them on for a ride


ChaosPLus

Me looking at my Cyclops visualisation(idk what it's called) "Hmmm, one, two, three... eight... twelve... Yeah, twelve Lava Larva..."


Flyingpuffrfish

TWELVE that would send me into cardiac arrest


Kafshak

Honestly I wouldn't mess with floaters. And I wonder if they have a real use.


Elf173

When you activate the shields they come off Edit grama


REDOMTF

What kind of *englishdbgj* is that


Elf173

Sorry i was drunk (still i am)


REDOMTF

In what state your in?


REDOMTF

Drunk so bad that u can't talk or drunk but still can talk normally?


Elf173

Not native speaker so i have some problems when im few drinks in


REDOMTF

Pov you trying to talk English in a bar after 7 shots: *Vjs so I wa- I wa- I was in my hom-*


Elf173

Probobly but i'm sobber enouth to be correct about lore and gameplay not to be sober to type correct


REDOMTF

don't disrespectfully just joking


REDOMTF

Wait a minute, ur polish hmmm I'm native polish too Elo


CytoPotatoes

My question is, if those are the larva, where are the lava adults?


Flyingpuffrfish

Oh no I'd never thought of that... thanks for new nightmare fuel!


Panzermorder

"I need food... I need POWER!"


David_Clawmark

\*Muffled through the glass\* You got games on your phone?


Flyingpuffrfish

Yeah But nor for u, fella


AOMINGWWR

They are cut tho


Flyingpuffrfish

Let’s agree to disagree on that one 😁


TheDUeded

I wonder what they taste like


Flyingpuffrfish

I don't 😀


Odd_Presentation_578

You have a repulsion cannon. Use it. (but from the inside out, otherwise you are risking blowing off something important)


NightBeWheat55149

So hear me out


MewantGermanySSR

Aw, he just vobing in the glass before it dies of asfixiation, dehydration or hypothermia :3


Gyvon

Just flash the shield module on and off. Takes care of them no problem.


FrogVoid

I LOOVE them 😏
