yeah monorail absolutely zooms across and cablooey's the crap out of the ship, plus the door doesn't seem to attach to it

When you use the monorail it crashes into the other side and breaks the ship

The Themis... those were the days

theres an option on the docking ports to turn off effects on dock, i believe.

I love the themis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First time using and the monorail went so fast it broke the docking port of the left side 10/10 would be traitor again

Looks like a Klingon cruiser :D

Can't do anything about that, sorry. All docking ports make that smoke when docking.

Particles? You mean smoke coming from the docking, or is it collision sparks?

Should be fine for bots, but you need to make them follow you if you want to get them between the command section and the main section.

Is it a bot friendly sub?

no

One of the first and only subs with working internal sub. Kirstu will always be a classic.

Hippi, do you have a link to the monorail? This thing is fascinating

Really fun, but the front area is a mudraptor MAGNET.

Removing a button accidentally? That's a new one. I'll fix this myself once I have some free time.

is there any way you could release the .sub file for the monorail my crew keeps accidentally removing the button inside the monorail car and we cant access the delay node in the floor to rewire it. if you release the .sub file i can move the node up a tile so that it can be interacted with. Any help you can provide in this regard is greatly appreciated.

ah i was asking more about how the physical thing works. like how it moves and docks

The monorail works with a press of a button! Pressing the button once changes the direction the monorail will go, and dock to.

how does the monorail work?

it's the themis all over again!

Hey Hippi!

Thanks for the response. I appreciate the explanation and the feedback. I didn't know you intended this as a player based ship; that actually explains a fair amount. I'm also unfamiliar with the editor, so thank you for explaining the mechanics.

I was using this with a buddy, and we were supplementing our crew with AI. We were having issues with getting them to use the periscopes, as some of them were on the bridge and they weren't able to reach them.

The explanation of the stairwells makes sense as well.

Cheers to you, I look forward to seeing what else you put out!

And to add to the massive stairwell problem:
I prefer stairwells over ladders for how fast you can traverse between floors using said stairs, instead of ladders.

Thanks for the feedback Wolf!
Sadly, I cannot change how the AI acts on the submarine. The sub editor lacks tools for fine-tuning the AI's behaviour on buttons and items.
I designed the submarine with a player-only mindset, so I'd expect you to play this with a group, and not solo. I don't see how the gun emplacements are awkward? Do you suggest that I'd move the periscopes somewhere else, or move the exterior railguns around?

I'm going to give a bit of a detailed review since I like it so much as I think it's one of the best ones on the workshop:
Ship reminds me of a Star Wars Nebulon B class Frigate.

Pros:
I like having the separate bridge via tram.
I like the compartmentalization of the ship.
I like the private quarters on the bridge with the armory.

Cons:
I dislike the gun emplacements, it just feels awkward.
The massive stairwell is a killer. Being able to fall through it has resulted in injured members.
I notice AI crew tend to get stuck in various doorways such as the top airlock or lower segment by the shuttle.
Also I don't think the AI seems able to ride the tram if I'm not mistaken?

Perfect

amazing
