Seamoth

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.

As 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. It can be fitted with a number upgrades and modifications that enhance performance and durability. These can be crafted in a Moonpool equipped with a Vehicle Upgrade Console.

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.

Technical Readout
The Seamoth is an electrical vehicle and requires energy from a power cell in order to function. It generates its own oxygen supply. When exiting while the vehicle is moving, the Seamoth will preserve its momentum and place the pilot behind it. 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.

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. The acidic brine in the Lost River deals periodic damage.

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.

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 However, it is now unobtainable, having been replaced by the Depth Module, and cannot be upgraded.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.
