-First time arm installation in a PRAWN, left clicking the arm into the slot did not seem to do anything. Upon exiting upgrade panel the arm was installed (model changed to new arm), and upon re-opening the upgrade panel I could see the arm in the upgrade slot.
-When trying to remove the arm, left clicking or clicking and dragging did not seem to do anything, the arm stayed in the slot. Upon exiting the upgrade panel the arm was uninstalled (model had changed back to default arm) and upon re-opening the upgrade panel the arm was not in the slot, nor was it anywhere in my inventory.
-Several hours later, I had made a second PRAWN and all four arm upgrades, two for each PRAWN.
-I piloted my second PRAWN around and tested the torpedo arm. Fired two vortex torpedoes normally and loaded/unloaded several gas torpedoes (important later.)
-I installed the last arm in the second prawn and saved.
-At this point I tried clicking and dragging the arms into and out of the upgrade slots and that seemed to work. Not only could I move the arms by dragging but all issues installing/uninstalling arms were fixed for both PRAWNS, left clicking them into/out of slots worked normally.
-However, once the torpedo arm was moved torpedoes loaded into the arm did not show up in torpedo inventory unless I exited the torpedo inventory and opened it again. Torpedoes loaded into the arm did not actually fire, but each click did remove one torpedo from inventory, and I did not get an "Out of ammo" message until I had clicked the same number of times as torpedoes I loaded. Trying to remove the torpedoes did not seem to work, however upon exiting and re-opening the torpedo inventory they were indeed gone, but not in my inventory anywhere.
-Reloaded my save to confirm that, before removing the arm from the PRAWN I first installed it on, it functions fine. The glitch only happens after I move the arm for the first time, regardless of which slot I put it in, which PRAWN I put it in, or if there were torpedoes loaded when I moved it. It seems the glitch may have transferred to the torpedo arm inventory instead of the arm upgrade slots, or at the very least is related. Unfortunately I do not have an older save file to test if creating and installing the first torpedo arm is what fixed the arm install/uninstall bug.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me by forum message or email. Thanks
(Unfortunately I have no good way to post video, and screenshots won't help much because most of the glitches have to do with moving things between inventory slots.)

Reloaded the game, tried to dock the cyclops again, which immediately started flipping out, entered PRAWN right away and hey, i am able to switch arm slots around again. Decided to change to the drill bit, docked cyclops and it's all fine now.
OK, i guess better save game.
Changed drill bit to torpedo arm then dock the submarine and it starts go wild.
So the torpedo arm seems to be borked.
I had the same thing happen, kinda. The arm thing. Just a quick question, as I have a bug with something else regarding the exosuit. Did you change the color and/or name of your PRAWN?
