Look out: Aggressive creatures can now damage the Cyclops. They will tear holes in the hull, and if enough damage accumulates, fires will start. Extinguish the fires quickly, or risk losing the boat!
Rig for Silent Running
The Cyclops now has multiple operating modes: Ahead Slow, Ahead Standard, Ahead Flank, and Silent Running. Each represents a different tradeoff between speed travelled and output of light and noise. The noisier and brighter your Cyclops runs, the more likely it is to be attacked by aggressive creatures.
Sonar Contact
Two new sonar modules are available for the Cyclops. First: A Terrain Scanning active sonar that reveals the contours of the sea-bed ahead. Second: A Threat detecting passive sonar that displays the location of hostile creatures around the submarine.
Raise Shields
You are not helpless in the face of creature aggression. Raise shields to temporarily deflect incoming attacks. Deploy decoys to distract aggressive creatures while you pass. And activate the Fire Suppression System to extinguish fires that burn beyond control.
Abandon Ship
A fatally damaged Cyclops will experience hull failure - Killing anyone caught inside. Get off the boat while you still can! Once the wreck settles on the ocean floor, you can swim inside to salvage upgrade modules and equipment.

Some creatures are displaying symptoms of an infections disease. What is it? And could you contract it yourself?
Research Facility
Something terrifying was being done here. And something went horribly wrong.
Containment Facility Exterior
A giant structure has appeared deep beneath the ocean floor. For now, we're just teasing: You can only explore the exterior, and will have to wait for a future update to see inside...
New Biome: Crag Field
Where there was previously empty seabed, the Crag Field has arisen. Explore this new environment, but watch out for Bone Sharks!
The Lab Cache
Deep within the Lost River biome, an enormous skull shows signs of being studied by... Something. Nearby, you might just find some useful resources.
PDA Drag'n'Drop
The PDA now supports drag-and-drop for quick slot item assignment.
Improved Map Scanner Room
The map scanner room now features a much great scan radius, scans faster, and is easier to move around in.

A secret lies hidden deep within the bowels of the Lava Castle: A Precursor Base. Great peril awaits any diver attempting to explore this mysterious structure. A Sea Dragon Leviathen guards the entrance, Stalkers prowl the narrow lava passageways, while immense heat and pressure threaten near certain death.
If you can make it inside, treasures and secrets await.
Ion Power
The ocean is vast, and often inhospitable. Your survival depends on maintaining a steady supply of power to your equipment and vehicles.
New "Ion" batteries and power cells are much longer lasting than existing power sources. Their extended run times allow you to conduct more exploration work between charges.
Coffee Machines
Occasionally we add a feature to Subnautica that really matters. A feature of great consequence. The coffee machine is one of those features.
Find the coffee machine amongst the wreckage of the Aurora, place it in your base, and bask in the glory of having achieved greatness.
Gravsphere
The Gravsphere pulls in everything around it. Deploy a Gravsphere to draw in predators, prey and loot.
We've been experimenting with prototypes of the Gravsphere for some time. The Castle's and Coffee Update brings the Graveshere's proper model and animations.
Luggage Bags
The luggage bag acts as portable storage. Pick it up, put it down, and store items in it.
Like the coffee machine, the luggage bag may be found in the wreckage of the Aurora.
Working Trash Cans
Alright, stick with us for a moment. This is important. Trash cans actually work.
Say goodbye to inventory clutter: Trash cans mean you can throw stuff away. It's not exactly environmentally friendly, and we don't know where the stuff goes, but this is the future so don't worry too much about it.
Air Bladder
The Air Bladder now has a proper model and animations. Use the Air Bladder to rapidly ascend to the surface. Useful in sticky situations where you need to get to get up from the depths, fast!
Skip Time
You can now advance time by sleeping.
Find the night time too spooky? Hit the hay when the sun sets and you will wake up to the sun shining through your sea-base windows.
Other Little Things
Halved Seaglide light energy cost
Quartered Seaglide active energy cost
Removed frame-rate dependence problem with Seaglide energy usage
Removed Kyanite from Blood Kelp (only drillable now)
Added Kynanite to recipe for 3rd stage of the rocket (resource sink)
