When released by the player, it will float to the surface and unfold itself. It can then be boarded. Using the interface, the player can construct a Seamoth, Cyclops, or Prawn Suit if they have the required materials and blueprints.

The base of the Mobile Vehicle Bay houses four fabrication drones that will activate themselves and float above the Mobile Vehicle Bay when the player approaches. When the player selects a vehicle to construct, the fabrication drones will swarm out in front of the Mobile Vehicle Bay to build the vehicle in the time it requires, showing its progress in the same fashion as using the Habitat Builder.

The player can pick up the Mobile Vehicle Bay by looking at the metal platform and pressing the correct key.

It is currently possible to deploy and trap the Mobile Vehicle Bay under a Moonpool, allowing vehicles to be constructed at any depth.
