I know a little bit about ships so I have 4 questions, 1, what is dynamic positioning ?, what is mooring, where is the ballast controls? And, can you actually full it with oil in stormworks, cuz I've never tried that and I actually don't know how to

AMAZING

hey, i finish here is the result if you want to check, thank you for your creation : https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3019114266

very nice ship
but i learned it can not be filled up all the way cause it will sink XD

Fixed now, typos are a ♥♥♥♥♥

Of course! :)

FYI I did find a little bug, I will work on fixing it myself but just wanted to let you know.
PS-5 has a capacity of 47.2 ; SB-5 has a capacity of 87.7 displayed and seemingly doesn't count when filling. I took screenshots if you'd like, too.

Thanks for the compliments :)
Yeah I'll think about making a more in depth system description for my next builds.

I love this ship. I have made a few changes to it like adjusting the sensitivity of the throttles at the helm & adding two winches on each side for docking, but overall this is an amazing build.

I especially enjoy the cargo control room, the interface there is very neat- awesome job.

Only recommendation I have is to maybe add a section on here explaining how to work everything on the ship, or a YT video, or something. I was able to answer all questions I personally had by researching comments here, but a Guide or Video would have been great help!

All in all, 10/10 :)

can you make it so it can sink

Ah ok thank you for the help!

Yes you can do it by connecting hoses for the corresponding tanks on the manifold. So connect SB1 to PS5 with a hose and then empty SB1 and fill PS5.

Don't know if this was already asked, Can you transfer cargo fluid from tank to tank. say SB1 to PS5? And if so how would i go about doing this?

thank you for the confirmation bud ill make good use of the ship. needed a good tanker~

More orange than Donnie Himself LMFAO!!!

Yeah for refuelling use the bunker connection inside the hatch in front of the accomodation

im guessing its the bunker hatch then from what i could tell while also investigating the engine room

the green hose connnectors on the ships deck front and rear of tank assembly are those to refuel the diesel into the ship?

yeah sure feel free to share.
DP button is next to the DP screen under the autopilot

Hello :) i use the Emergency Exit of the Engine room to add a refinry so this tanker can clean the slury and refine some Oil. Can i share you this version ? And how to use Dynamic positionning ?

start engine button on the bridge console near the throttle lever

how to start the engine?

Attach the hose to one of the connectors on the manifold in the middle. Go to the small office with the pump screen. On the tank corresponding with the manifold you just connected press the '+' symbol. Tank should be filling now. You might have push the button on the pump on the dock not sure

how do you pump fuel into the tanks? im in the creative base (using the pumps next to the dock) and trying to pump fuel into one of the tanks but it doesn't seem to be working. Sry for the dumb question I just have no idea how it works

Bridge has XML windows which are not watertight im afraid
Also no scuttle

scuttle?

can u please make the bridge waterproof?

The anchors can only be lowered locally, from the forecastle deck

i think it is funny you said "more orange than Donald Trump" and it is true.

Where do I lower the ancor? (spelt Wrong) I cant seem to find it in the bridge. Please let me know.

really cool ship, love the look of it, just no way in hell am i using it, its too overwhelming

On the manifold is a connection for saturated slurry in (grey) and clean slurry out (blue), connect them as needed. Go to the slurry room and start the desalinating pump and open the valves to the fresh water tanks (or spawn the tanks with freshwater). Start the other two pumps as well and you should get clean slurry.

how do i use the slurry system?

very cool ship

Select one or multiple tanks, start pump 1 and pump 2 and select the desired action (pump in or pump out). Also you can pump from portside (PS) tanks to starboard (SB) tanks :)

how can i adjust ballast tank?

camiesummers you need to go to the workbench

just make a mission out of it

how do i spawn ships ive been stuck on this for 6 months

how to pump oil in to the ship

I can say it is almost equal to as orange as donald trump

Alright thanks for clarifying some things. Will definitely use this ship a lot it's very well made.

Yeah thats the one, link for the AP: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2844201189&searchtext=Simrad+ap60
Set first a course and then press the black circle on the right above the course selector. Note that the thruster controls are not working via the AP.
Yeah if the hull is damaged to badly the bilge pumps might not be able to keep up. Also if you damage a ballast tank you will have to use the ballast system to empty the tank, for the tanks here are no bilge pumps.

AP is the screen infront of the captain with the heading (I assume) selector? If so how does it work? Maybe the bilge pumps were damaged then but if not can they get overwhelmed by the amount of water and not keep up?

Yes autopilot is available, in front of the captains seat.
The small lifeboat indeed flips when you jump on top, try to get in the seat right away to stop this from happening.
Automatic bilge pumps are, as the name suggests, automatic. They start pumping right away when a compartement is flooding. However when the pump itself or the fluid meter is damaged the pump wont work

Also how do you make the automatic bilge bumps work? My ship started flooding and nothing was trying to stop it automatically.

The left side life boat in useless as it sinks/flips as soon as you lower it and get on it. Otherwise haven't found any issues with the ship and having fun with it.

Great ship! Nice job.

Is there AP?

The steering helm is finally fixed

Use the captain seat on the portside for steering
