The '''Seamoth''' is a small one-person submersible that can be constructed using the [[Mobile Vehicle Bay]]. It is a versatile [[Vehicles|Vehicle]] which can travel at high speeds underwater, and can be customized with a [[Vehicle Upgrade Console]] at a [[Moonpool]].
The '''Seamoth''' is a small, versatile one-person submersible capable of sustained high-speed travel over considerable distances. It boasts an omnidirectional propulsion system that allows for lateral and vertaical movement at relatively constant speeds no matter the vehicle's orientation.


It comes equipped with its own locator beacon, similar to the [[Cyclops]] and [[PRAWN Suit|PRAWN suit]]. It can be fitted with a number upgrades and modifications that enhance performance and durability at a [[Moonpool]] equipped with a [[Vehicle Upgrade Console]] or aboard a Cyclops.
Before the '''Seamoth''' can be constructed, the [[player]] must first scan three '''Seamoth''' [[Fragments]] using the [[Scanner]]. These can be found in [[Wrecks]] in the [[Grassy Plateaus]] and in the [[Aurora]].


Before the Seamoth can be constructed, its fragments must first be scanned. Several can be found in the numerous [[Wrecks|wrecks]] in the [[Grassy Plateaus]] surrounding Lifepod 5 and in the [[Aurora]].
==Overview==
The player can enter the '''Seamoth''' with {{Key|LMB}}, or {{Key xbox|LT}}/{{Key xbox|A}}. Once inside, the player can maneuver the '''Seamoth''' using the same controls as swimming, or press {{Key|E}} or {{Key xbox|B}} to exit the '''Seamoth'''. The player can toggle the '''Seamoth's''' headlights on or off with {{Key|RMB}} or {{Key xbox|RT}}.


==History==
The '''Seamoth''' requires [[Energy]] from a [[Power Cell]] in order to function. On one full charge, the '''Seamoth''' can travel approximately 10,650 meters (106.5m per percentage of energy) before running out of Energy. To recharge the '''Seamoth''', the player can replace the Power Cell on its back or dock it at a Moonpool or [[Cyclops]] (draining energy from the [[Seabases|Seabase]] or Cyclops to recharge the '''Seamoth's''' Power Cell).


The '''Seamoth''' generates its own [[Oxygen]] supply as long as it has Energy (this does not consume any of its Energy). When the player enters a '''Seamoth''' that has Energy, their oxygen is fully replenished. This enables the player to dive into deeper areas of the ocean that are not easily accessible by swimming or by using the [[Seaglide]].


Compared to the Cyclops and the [[Prawn Suit]], the '''Seamoth''' is significantly faster and more agile, making it excellent for exploration. However, it is more prone to damage, and even a fully upgraded '''Seamoth''' cannot go deep enough to explore the deepest [[biomes]] (such as the [[Inactive Lava Zone]] and [[Lava Lakes]]).



Upon entering the '''Seamoth''', its AI says "Welcome Aboard Captain."

The Seamoth is a small, versatile one-person submersible capable of sustained high-speed travel over considerable distances. It boasts an omnidirectional propulsion system that allows for lateral and vertaical movement at relatively constant speeds no matter the vehicle's orientation.

It comes equipped with its own locator beacon, similar to the Cyclops and PRAWN suit. It can be fitted with a number upgrades and modifications that enhance performance and durability at a Moonpool equipped with a Vehicle Upgrade Console or aboard a Cyclops.

Before the Seamoth can be constructed, its fragments must first be scanned. Several can be found in the numerous wrecks in the Grassy Plateaus surrounding Lifepod 5 and in the Aurora.

(no target detected)

Hazards

The Seamoth has a hull integrity readout, which will decrease if the craft is attacked by hostile creatures, crashes into objects (including some plants), is exposed to temperatures greater than 70°C or exceeds it maximum crush depth. The player can repair this damage with the Repair Tool. Once the Seamoth's health reaches 0%, it will explode.[1] The acidic brine in the Lost River deals periodic damage.

Thrust

Upgrades and Customization

The Seamoth can be customized with the Vehicle Upgrade Console, which the player can use to craft upgrades and change the vehicle's name and color scheme. Upgrades can be installed and swapped via a panel on the left wing. Opening this panel reveals four slots. The storage, hull reinforcement and engine efficiency modules are compatible with the PRAWN suit.

Seamoth Pressure Compensator Mark 1.png

Depth Compensation Module

Data Bank Entry

<tabber> Seamoth=

Seamoth Data Bank Image.png

The seamoth is a one-person vehicle with an independent, replaceable power cell fitted in the rear and a fully customizable design. Low power, multi-directional thrusters enable it to function equally well in sea or space environments.

Most long-range vessels carry at least two vehicles of this class to facilitate the exploration and exploitation of small astronomical bodies, however, they can also be fabricated at a standard mobile vehicle bay.

Ratings:

  • Top Speed: 13m/s
  • Acceleration: 5m/s/s
  • Distance per power cell: 10km
  • Crush depth: 200m below sea level
  • Upgrade module slots: 4
  • Dimensions: 3m x 1.5m x 1m
  • Persons: 1

Seamoths may be modified by installing upgrade modules to the access point mounted on the wing. These include:

  • Increased cargo storage
  • Superior power
  • Pressure and collision compensation
  • Enhanced sonar
  • Defensive capabilities

NB These modules may only be manufactured at a moonpool outfitted with a vehicle modification station.

Trivia

  • The old Seamoth Pressure Compensator (Depth Module) has the same crush depth of a Cyclops Ultra Hull Reinforcement Module. However, it is now unobtainable, having been replaced by the Depth Module, and cannot be upgraded. If a player has one, it is considered a separate item from the Pressure Compensator.
  • The Seamoth's AI used to occasionally say "I love it when you come inside me" instead of "Welcome aboard, Captain." This was a joke slipped in by the sounds producer, Simon Chylinski. After discussing the line with the dev team, Simon removed it as a lot of minors and families play Subnautica.
