✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 2,255 endorsements and 50k downloads
- One-key solution for a common annoyance

⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019—might break with newer Subnautica patches

For Subnautica players who find the default Prawnsuit light toggle clunky and want a quick fix. Skip if you're on the latest game version and worried about compatibility—this is a dated mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Prawnsuit equipped before pressing Q—the mod only works when you're piloting it.
- If the mod doesn't work after installing, check that you've placed the DLL in the correct BepInEx plugins folder.
- Since the mod is from 2019, test it in a save before relying on it in a long playthrough.
