Good news, after a lot of testing, I found a fix! The solution is quite simple.

1. Click select and go over near the drivers cab.
2. Click around until you select the micro controller named "REACTOR MKI MICRO CONTROLLER".
3. Click the three dots next to the name, locate "Boiler Pressure", and click on it.
4. Change it from an INPUT to an OUTPUT.
5. Save the microcontroller.
6. Spawn the vehicle.
7. Do all startup steps normally and you will have motion!
8. (Optional but recommended) Save the vehicle locally so you don't have to repeat these steps again.

I hope this helps anyone who wants to use the vehicle, and if Britzilla sees this, maybe he can change the microcontroller so nobody has to do these steps. Have a lovely day!

I got it to run by manually controlling the flow valve and control rods, I ran the reactor at 200 and it got the boiler temp to 100 and probably past that, got it moving, now I see that it's only the microcontroller that maintains the valve and the reactor that kept this from moving.

Transports NUKES

sadly doesent start

it works AND it can work underwater now

No the devs changed how steam works a while back, just never got around to fixing it

Does not work. Maybe yo should automate the ole control rod process. No reason to give it to the players...

it used to work but now the devs made steam engines more "realistic" by increasing the amount of pressure you get from water

thats because of one of the updates

for some reason, it just keeps going higher than what i put in and exploding, same with the MKI dreadnought.

i cant drive

for too long

first time i used it it just blew up, but i think it blew up cuz i might have overclocked it

........flashbacks of........Chernobyl

flashbacks to the rhino i think

?

this gives me flashbacks......

you could just use the cut and paste tool, and cut the reactor out

Is it possible for you to make a version that has everything but the reactor, that way we can put our own form of propulsion in it?

I put some weight on the bottom, pretty good sub.

@osomewolf

you sure you didn’t blow the boiler? Cause you ain’t running outta water

...

Im sorry how?

i keep running out of water is there a way to pump in water?

@Chewykaren yeah, in the description.

Are there directions for starting this thing somewhere?

Sent

Ah, right yes.

Well, you on the stormworks discord server?

well it was specifically set to 8, btw i have been developing the base for a trailer for the Gino and have made an edit to accomodate said trailer, can show more in private

Thats strange, it is set up to turn itself on depending on what the system pressure is, must have been an oddly specific value

wasn't on, manually activated it after respawning

theres a pump that feeds back into the reservoir to regulate system pressure however

Should be on by default

no no it was slow because i didn't engage the reservoir pump

It dosent have brakes, just disengage the clutch
As for the thing being slow, you either didn't let it build steam, since this isn't a diesel, you need to let it build steam pressure in the turbines and RPS by proxy

brakes aren't great tho

but then again it is a prototype so

that was the problem

omfg there was a reservoir pump

wait

@Pyramid yeah you aint being dumb, I did everything right and it is slow as balls

am i just dumb or why wont the reactor start? i think im just dumb bc this seems like a good build

Oh

No im referring to Du's comment "It can floats on water ?"

But you just said "and i don't remember saying it could"

I know, I built it

Look in the description, very bottom "good chance you might suddenly blow the boiler."

thats odd, its not blowing for me, and i don't remember saying it could, but look at it

it can floats on water ?

I am going either 6.5 or 7, and the boiler still keeps exploding.
