I might have found the issue, or at least how to fix it.

Thanks to Dmad_ean (http://forums.unknownworlds.com/discussion/144693/bug-cyclops-keeps-disappearing-36618#latest), I went to the save folder and basically deleted all save files (except for options.bin. Save folder is located under Steam/steamapps/common/subnautica/SNAappdata/savedGames).

Then I renamed my old save, 36618 version freemode (I relocated the ones I wanted to save from deleting elsewhere) to slot0000 .

So in that folder, only slot0000 and options.bin are present. (This save was previously named slot0002)

Since the save shows there is a cyclop, but it have already been bugged away I used command SUB CYCLOPS, saved the game when it was spawned, restarted and it is still there.

I also tried to save outside of any structure (base, seamoth, cyclops or P.R.A.W.N) but also inside the base. Both times, the cyclops were present.

So it might be something with save "0000" if that's another version than 36618 causing this error. Or the fact there are saves that are non-compatible with current.

Here in the spoiler, I've made a "how to" for all users who are not 100% sure how to reproduce these steps.

1. Open your steam folder
2. Go to the save folder via these steps: Steam/steamapps/common/subnautica/SNAppdata/SavedGames
3. Cut all "slotXXXX"-folders (mark and ctrl-x) and move them one folder up, to SNAppdata). Now there should be only a white icon left, named options.bin in the savedgames-folder.
4. Go back to SNAppdata, and open every SlotXXXX, sort the files after date (inside the slotXXXX-folder) and find out which save is the newest. To ensure you pick the right one, load the saved game you had this issue on, save and shut down. The "Date modified" should now be the same as the current time on your computer in the right slotXXXX-folder.
5. Mark that folder (for example slot0005) and cut/copy it back into the SavedGames-folder.
6. Rename it slot0000. Now you should have 2 files there. slot0000 and options.bin
7. The save won't have the cyclops present even if the icon shows it should be. But since the game is Early development build, I'd say it's fully authorized to use commands to fix this issue.

HOW TO USE COMMANDS:
1. While in game, press f3 and f8.
2. On the left side, there should be a grey box with some information. On the top left side there is a checkbox and "Disable console". Since you have f8 active, you can use your cursor. Make sure the checkbox is unchecked. But to be sure, check it and uncheck it once.
3. Now, press Enter to get a chat box, and you can type in the commands.

For a new cyclops, use (Capital letters only, Important!) SUB CYCLOPS. It will spawn ~20 meters in front of you so make sure you have space there.

If you lost modules, upgrades or seamoth/PRAWN, please read THIS page for all item codes you need. Just remember, Capital letters only.

Hope this helps you guys.
