Navigation in this mode is awkward, requiring the destination to be on the edge of the screen strafing in two directions, and in the corner for three directions, depending on the field of view setting in the Options menu. While the maximum speed of the Seamoth in any single direction is 11.25 m/s, strafing by holding multiple direction keys will increase its maximum speed to 15.9 m/s (2-directions) and 19.2 m/s (3-directions). Spoiler alert: The following section contains story related material.Īn Ion Power Cell can also be used to power it. At a speed of 11.25 m/s, this gives the Seamoth a straight-line range of 33,750 meters. A standard power cell, holding 200 units of energy, can power the Seamoth for 3,000 seconds. The pilot should be careful not to exit while quickly moving with dangerous creatures around, as the Seamoth may move away before the pilot can get back in, leaving them vulnerable to attack, or because the Seamoth might hit the player.Īs for its energy usage, the Seamoth consumes one unit of energy approximately every 15 seconds. When exiting while the vehicle is moving, the Seamoth will preserve its momentum and place the pilot behind it or in front of it. The Seamoth is an electric vehicle and requires Energy from a Power Cell in order to function. Several can be found in the numerous Wrecks in the Grassy Plateaus surrounding Lifepod 5, and two in the Seamoth Bay of the Aurora.

The player must scan three fragments before acquiring the recipe. These can be crafted in a Moonpool equipped with a Vehicle Upgrade Console.īefore the Seamoth can be constructed, its fragments must first be scanned. It can be fitted with multiple upgrades and modifications that enhance performance and durability. Thus, if going forward and upward the maximum speed is 15.91 m/s (11.25 * √2) and if going forward, upward, and sideways the maximum speed is 19.49 m/s (11.25 * √3).Īs with the Cyclops and Prawn Suit, the Seamoth comes equipped with a locator beacon that produces an image on the HUD showing the distance of the vehicle from the player. The speed in any direction is independent of other directions and can be added together using vector addition. It boasts an omnidirectional propulsion system that allows for lateral and vertical movement that gradually increases to a maximum of 11.25 m/s in any single direction.

The Seamoth is a small, versatile one-person submersible and spacecraft capable of sustained high-speed travel over considerable distances.
