The two other bugs that happen to me very frequently are accessing the fabrication and vehicle creation menus. It seems like the cursor gets stuck most of the time when I try to enter the either of the two menus (it is much more severe with the vehicle menu.)
I started playing a few days ago and already have 15 hours, this game is amazing in VR. Easily the best seated experience on the Vive. Please please please fix these bugs
Using Oculus Rift CV1 with Steam version of the game
When undocking from the Cyclops in a Seamoth or Prawn suit, the vehicle exits at the location where the Cyclops was when you docked with it, instead of at the current location of the Cyclops.
Duplication steps
1. build a Seamoth or Prawn suit
2. build a Cyclops
3. dock the Seamoth/Prawn in the Cyclops
4. drive the Cyclops a noticeable distance from where it was when you docked the Seamoth/Prawn.
5. undock the Seamoth/Prawn and note that you are back where you docked, not near the Cyclops
Waiting for patch a long time ago now

I'm facing the bug too now I have my cyclops and want to use it to bring the prawn suit to far biomes and was hoping for a quick fix but when I see it has'nt been fixes for 9 monthes now
This is really gamebreaking for VR users. The VR bug with the cyclops not drawing (when player stands behind the cyclops control room, where the lockers are) is annoying too but you can live with it and wait for a fix. This docking bug is much much more gamebeaking
I hope this will be looked into soon, I'm not sure I want to continue playing as long as I cannot transport the prawn suit (or even seamoth) with the cyclops.
Is it possible to at least get a command or code to reposition the vehicle in a fixed coordinate below the Cyclops?
I mean that should be possible and im sure a lot of people would appreciate if there is one or if they can at least fix it that way (undock, reposition it in a fixed coordinate below the docking door)
Although I"m sure a fix in the game code would be very easy, just need to check the docked vehicle coordinates when undocking is requested by the player. This is 1 line of code (a proper fix may need more code as the docking algorithm may be more complex, but I bet 1 line of code can make it undock at the right place, even if this was with a messed up animation and/or sideeffects and possibly required a 2nd line to reset the docking tool to be able to redock later).
Just crossing fingers this will be looked into soon. Drilling and exploring with the prawn suit is so cool in VR !
Please, enlighten us: I'm waiting.
Are you willing to say theres no way that unity lets you spawn an existing saved object with its dependencies in a fixed position told by parameters? Right now it DOESdo it, but in the last docked location, all parameters set by code.
Coding a temp fix to force the location on the spawn method on a fixed offset location should be doable. I dont think unity doesnt have such control over objects. That would be weird and unusual.
I love this game and i hope you are just blindly trolling. They just need to pay attention to this bug, it could get a temp fix easily. Not exactly the perfect one but.
That would be an appropriate fix if this bug was found in a release (v1.0 or later) build. It's Early Access, why would you code in a hacky temp patch instead of doing it the right way?
What? LOL. Holy shit. This is the internet, i forgot.
Having such a fix for VR would avoid SPAWNING INTO the cyclops model, giving motion sickness due to the shaking and rapid glitchy movement when colliding and also fixed the playability of the game in vr, since right now you cant advance after you get the cyclops.
Jeez, why would you fix it with an acceptable spawn position without undocking animation to let people test the game in VR. Why. Sounds ridiculous right? Just let it be broken. Play it on monitor.
Nice
Say, what programming languages do you know?
You tell me if unity doesnt have such methods (which are used when you undock, spawns, with positions and animations) you tell me if its possible or not. This bug has over a year. Enlighten us.
To devs, if they come across this. This fix would be a benefit for the game, the more people can test the game in vr now, the better feedback they will get before release, hopefully becoming a top recommendation in the vr scene.
It is very understandable that early access games will have bugs because it is in development, but those bugs should be fixed within a decent amount of time because customers are paying for playing the game, even in early access stage.
Leaving bugs like this for that long while still adding new stuff is giving the message early access is a white card allowing to leave bugs unfixed for a very long time.
This is why I think it is bad for early access in general. Early access helps founding projects and the games need to remain playable or less customers will want to pay for it.
I personaly think it's ok if minor bugs stay for long, but a bug like this should have higher priority. Or maybe they just consider VR is too niche market and bugs affecting it will always have the lowest priority
This similar issue : https://trello.com/c/zrlfHYGa/3504-42997-undocking-exosuite-seamoth-from-cyclops-fails-in-vr-after-load-both-stuck-in-docking-bay
also has not been fixed and makes me wonder if not everyone playing in vr is seeing the issue we are, thus making it harder to reproduce.
I personally am using a Rift on the steam version. OP says they play the Oculus Home version. Has anyone seen this issue with a Vive?
I tested it too. Still same thing. If u save and go to the menu and load it. It will spawn on the correct place, but i seem to spawn into the walls of the cyclops. Cant get out.
Description - After docking seamoth or PRAWN to the Cyclops, the Seamoth or PRAWN will return to initial docking location when attempting to undock from cyclops. There are also graphical glitches near the docking airlock (can't see the textures inside until a certain point is reached) and you can see objects through walls when piloting the cyclops itself.
Reproduction steps - Dock a seamoth or PRAWN to the Cyclops at one spot, move a noticeable distance away, then go ahead and undock. You need to also be in VR. As this doesn't seem to happen to non-vr users. Registered an account to add to the stack since it doesn't seem to be getting adressed.
Pictures or Video - none provided, seems to be a somewhat known issue.

We could realistically see this working in the next update!
