✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Finally lets you check your PDA without abandoning the Cyclops controls, which is a huge convenience during long expeditions.
- Tiny mod that does exactly what it says—no bloat, just the QoL fix you wanted.
- Still updated as of August 2024, so it's likely compatible with recent game versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 36 endorsements, so it's not widely tested—could have hidden issues on certain setups.
- No detailed description or patch notes, so you're flying blind on what exactly it changes.
- Potential compatibility risk with other mods that alter the PDA or Cyclops interface.
This is for Subnautica players who hate having to exit the Cyclops just to check a blueprint or read a log. If you spend a lot of time piloting the Cyclops and want to multitask, this mod is a no-brainer. It's also for modders who appreciate simple, focused QoL tweaks.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the latest version of Subnautica installed, as mods can break after updates.
- If you use other mods that affect the PDA or Cyclops, test this one first to avoid conflicts.
- Bind a hotkey to the PDA for quick access while piloting—it'll feel natural after a few uses.
