No need to apologize i frankly do not understand what the stormworks devs have been doing the past few years. Seems like some players also are starting to get pissed with the petions and whatnot.

Philadelphia Collins, good to know, thanks for telling me!
Sorry you had to go through all these gyrations to use it

hi Gerunimo, just wanna say that the calypso is absolutely amazing. I actually got it to work with a workaround by installing an older game version, before the devs once again broke the calypso. Looking forward to your update though. I probably spent four hours this afternoon just driving this thing through shitty weather and taking the helo for a spin every once and again. Just fyi currently when spawning the ship via the spawner mission it starts to sink at the stern after a few minutes.

Philadelphia Collins,
Don't worry I am working on updates for it, when it is done I will be sure to reupload them.
I appreciate your patience, and glad you have enjoyed it before!

loved this thing years ago, currently cannot start the engine because the air pressure does not go above 0.55 and the air start valves cannot be moved

pfmamber, I understand and I appreciate your excitement!
Work, and family keep me very busy. When I have the time it will get fixed and updated.
Thank you for your understanding.

Sorry I don't mean to keep bothering you

Ok thanks so much and I think I will most likely make a car of some sort because now that I think about making a big boat I sounds like it will be pretty hard to do

pfmamber, first and probably foremost. A ship/boat is a BIG undertaking, it could well take you months to get it completed. So to avoid the preverbal "Stormworks burn out", pick a project you are truly excited about, otherwise it might never get done.

Dang I didn't think the author to thank me bro I love this mod and I hope you have a great day I wanted to start making some cool boat and deep sea exploration boat and I was wondering if you could give me some tips

pfmamber, thank you very much, it means alot!
Please don't feel compelled to do that in the future however.
I'm not trying to appear ungrateful, please don't take it as such. I'm sure you can find a better use for them then I can. ;)

i gave you all my steam coins have a great day

DUDE I LOVE YOUR MOD AND BECAUSE I LOVE IT SO MUCH I AM DONATING YOU TONS OF STEAM COINS AND NO THIS NOT CLICK BAIT

MOST RECENT UPDATE: 10 JUNE 2023
- Greatly improved Side Scan Sonar fidelity
- Improved Radar Functionality
- Fixed Aft Cargo Spotlights swinging issues
ENJOY!

Swooper Villain, very glad you like it, thanks for the nice comment!

Perfection

Fair point I have never noticed it either

chunkymonky2220, I can sure. But does it matter? I never noticed the salt when I was taking a shower before ;)

will you please add an actual water cleaner so its not sea water in the fresh waster tank?

MOST RECENT UPDATE: 06 APR 2023
- Fixed all engines so they no longer overheat.

ENJOY!

My pleasure :). And yes meredith999 I've been aware of this ship for a long time, but seeing the effort put into this vessel, and over all this time, i felt i had to say smth.

i do love this ship and askur the ship is probaly close to 1000 years old in the game but she works perfectly

Askur, wow what a nice comment! Very kind of you to say, I really appreciate it!

Absolutely Insane. I think the most detailed creation I've come across. Not a single surface left un-detailed, everything named, still receives updates. Lovely stuff.

MOST RECENT UPDATE: 16 JAN 2023
- Moved the Side scan Sonar "Fish" into the hold, rather then making it a separate vehicle

MOST RECENT UPDATE: 22 DEC 2022
- Added Dr. Edgerton's Deep Sea Flash Camera
(Deployable with the Starboard side winch and images viewable from the Dark Room)
- Fixed Horn to sound more "sickly"
- Fixed multiple text issues
- Davits rebuilt
- Host of other small changes

ENJOY!

MOST RECENT UPDATE: 01 DEC 2022
- All Generators no longer require the starter batteries to be on after they are running.
(Recommended by and thanks to Talia Kuznetsova)

ENJOY!

MOST RECENT UPDATE: 26 NOV 2022
- Fixed Ship's Bell, Siren, and Telegraph bells

ENJOY!

cjturtle6, no you do not, boat is spawns as a mission and is located on the map. All the associated equipment is aboard and ready to use, hope that helps!

when i downloaded i couldnt find it but did you need to download all the required items

MOST RECENT UPDATE: 09 AUG 2022
- Updated both Radars to current standards/parts
- A whole host of cosmetic and functionality changes

ENJOY!

MOST RECENT UPDATE: 20 APR 2022
- Several cosmetic changes
- The Aft Cargo/Submersible Bay will now flood if any of the hatches are left open and water is allowed in
- Fixed the exhaust, it will now thin and dissipate as the main engines warm up*
*Unless the main engines are at full throttle
- Added working High Fidelity Side-scan Sonar
- Added working Microscope
- Corrected some long standing issues in the electrical system

UPDATE 05 FEB 2022:
- Updated the helipad connectors to make it compatible with the rebuilt Schweizer 296C

ENJOY!

UPDATE: 18 DEC 2021
- Added padded seats to the Mess Hall and Captain's Sitting Room
- Added a hidden Logic Block (above the clipboard) next to the Oil Purifier that displays fuel percentages in all fuel tanks
- Fixed issue where the ship would suffer a 'brown out' at high main engine RPM's
- Fixed Aft Hold Hatches get stuck open

ENJOY!

Voyager621, ok I think I got it now. Yes "Flank" speed will consume fuel at a high rate. That is intentional. Like I said, I reduced their efficiency recently as I try to induce a certain amount of cause and effect into my builds. In the real world cruising around at high speeds would not only decrease range but also increase engine/part wear. Remember Calypso before Cousteau owned her was a Coastal Minesweeper. Never intended to cross oceans without refueling. Keeping the throttles at or around 0.88 will provide enough range to cross about 80+km at a speed of about 12 knots. So you'll either need to fuel up before setting out on a long voyage or reduce speed. The same things a real boat Captain would have to take into account on a long voyage as well. I hope that helps, let me know if you have any other question, take care!

I actually didnt have the purifier turned on hah as far as i can tell with 1 60kw Generator going and at full ahead its burning about %10 of the main tanks every 30-45min give or take a few

Voyager621, wow that is outrageous! While fuel efficiency was reduced by me recently, it shouldn't be THAT bad. I'll take a look and see if something weird is happening. One question, do you also have the Oil Purifier turned on?

It seems the fuel consumption has gone way up recently, i can burn through the daily use and reserve tanks in 10 minutes or so with 1 genny and the 2 mains going at cruise speed. Or am i doing something wrong lol

oki ty thank you

monticue, it is, but it requires certain things to be running and present to function; i.e. "fresh" water in the water heater and all doors and hatches closed. Be mindful that generating enough fresh water does take some time. However, if you need there is cold weather clothing in the Captain's Cabin and down in the hold. Also alternatively you can take a shower and that will warm you as well. Hope that helps.

is the ship arctic ready with heaters?

Youre the man! Although I think the new mod engine update wouldve probably helped it too lol. I appreciate the fix my dude

sberge84, alright Sir all fixed up! Thank you very much for letting me know, I hope everything works out for you now. Last thing we both need is you having an engine fire while fueling! :D

sberge84, found the problem, originally the Calypso had just one 6-71 generator, it ran at a much lower RPM and therefore required less cooling. Now that both generators run at a higher RPM they require more cooling and only the Main Engines ran the discharge pumps, so you can see the problem. Anyway, I'll fix it and post the update. Thanks again for letting me know!

sberge84, thanks for letting me know! I'll take a look and hopefully fix it.

Yes sir, sea chests were full and drains closed. I was at a refueling depot and shut down the mains and left a single 6-71 running to keep 60kw power going at a minimum. After about 10-15 mins, the engine erupted in flames due to overheating. Even had the engine room ventilator going. I was able to repair it, but...it seems they dont cool unless youre either underway or the mains are operating. Im guessing right now, just thought I'd let you know. Perhaps you can recreate this scenario.

sberge84, The GM 6-71 generators and the GM 8-268a Main Engines are water cooled and will require the 'Sea Chests' to be filled always to prevent over heating. The GM 2-71 is air cooled and does not require any outside cooling. Make sure the 'Sea Chests' are full and the Drain is closed/off. The Drains are open when the ship spawns, this prevents sea water from 'damaging' the 'Sea Chests'. Hope that helps!

Maybe I'm missing something, but I cant moor and leave any of these generators running without risking them overheating. Am I doing something wrong?

MOST RECENT UPDATE: 06 MAR 2021
- Rebuilt and the entire Generator and Main Propulsion arrangement to make the ship more realistic*. At long last!
*Notes:
- Range greatly increased
- The main engines no longer produce electrical power
- The ship now has TWO 6-71 Generators, both must be running to provide enough power to the ship when all systems are running.

ENJOY!

MOST RECENT UPDATE: 06 FEB 2021
*All changes were done to make the ship more realistic, pictures are available above that show changes in appearance and location of some of gauges and valves.

- Made several changes around the ship to create a more realistic appearance
- Rebuilt the Fuel System, all engines/generators now draw from daily use tanks
- Added Fuel Oil Filter System, which pumps fuel to the Daily Use Tanks *Note Picture for location of Controller
- Changed the refrigeration system to reflect values of a period R-12 refrigerant system. Screw you Ozone Layer! :D
- Rebuilt Heading Hold autopilot to allow heading changes and reduced it's effectiveness
- Added 'moving map' to Radio room table that allows plotting and will drift over time without re-verifying your position. Read 'Map Table Usage' description above
- Moved Fuel Tank Gauges to outside the ship in the refueling hatches to simulate dip sticks

ENJOY!
