how to charge it?

How do you turn on the heaters?

Would be cool if it had a small life boat

Not important, but something my autism having ass noticed while trying to find the fuel gantry and how to use it (which I still haven't managed to do), is that the refuelling ports are mismatched ("diesel tank 2" under "fuel tank 1" and vice versa). So that's just something to do if you're board during the next update of the ship.

Also, if someone could tell me how to use the fuel gantry before I lose my mind trying to figure it out on my own, that would be great lol

TOP SAR #1

hi, when I tried to refuel, I couldn't. I tried it at a gas station and at a diesel one.

my engines dont work

Hey I have a question could you make a MP one that's less laggy?

you're welcome and thank you for your hard work! Can't wait for anymore creations you may share in the future

@Memento Mori Thanks for reporting, the fuel spawners were set to ~5% for testing, but i never reverted them to 100% before updating

It's spawning with low fuel, any idea why that may be?

@Matt20003, That's awesome, super happy to hear that! Thank you for the update and working that in!

@mephistopheles I've added a control console for gantries next to the fueling hatch. You can also control them using a remote control. It should be pretty intuitive to use. If not, I've got some instructions written up in the patch notes

Hey, can't help but notice you used my crane as a basis for yours.
That's fine of course and it's great to see people use it, but I would like to be added to the list of credits :)

@Matt20003, Following up on your recent update, this ship has been working fantastically! Top notch and easily performing the bulk of my operations. We've been using it as a command ship on my server. I was wondering, would you be able to incorporate a onboard radio/controller for controlling the fuel gantries? All good if not, I tried myself but couldn't figure any of it out

My god, what a fine work of art! I'm new to the game, this ship is the most impressive til now. Still don't know how to use all the instruments.

@Matt20003 Oh awesome, glad to hear it! I appreciate the update and response, thank you!

@Mephistopheles Hey thanks for checking out the ship and reporting this. I've tweaked the generators to kick in earlier to prevent the batteries from dropping too low, They shouldn't drop much below 90% even at idle now. Please let me know if you're still experiencing issues!

I've been getting really bad power draw on this awesome ship, it's as if the engine generators aren't really doing anything unless I'm full blast on the throttle. Stationary idle battery draw gives me only about 11 minutes till 0%. That's with everything powered on, engines not decoupled. Doesn't really make sense to decouple and 100% throttle every stop, unless that's the intention? Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

good

this is my favourite mod in stormworks

Where are the fuel tanks?

looking at all of these workshop creations, i wonder to myself: how the ♥♥♥♥ are these people so GOOD???
i suck at everything
literally
i make a boat using the workshop hulls
the cabin is just a CUBE.
nothing in the hull except the 2 engines
no logic at all compared to a cargo ship made by someone else


bro i wish i can just copy the best builder's brain into a syringe and then inject the neuron-filled syringe into my brain

learning in this game without outdated tutorials is hard af

Thanks I'll give that a try and see if it works or gives a new error.

@Moore I've had that issue in the past aswell, i'm not sure what causes it though usually respawning the ship or restarting your game fixes it\

Good news! the developers fixed forced induction so she's able to reach her max speed again!

Synthetic Vision is giving me "Draw Error" was wonder if there was something I missed

I was wondering why She wouldn't reach the speeds i had her at

Thanks for your hard work

Update: I, a complete and total noobie at the editor, tried to slap some flashing lights on this boat for funsies from the Apollo SAR boat (since those lights are amazing), didn't go so well. Perhaps I should leave it to the pros. Side note, if anyone can slap those lights on for me that would be sick

By far one of the best SAR vessels I've ever subscribed to. Only thing missing in my opinion is some nice flashing emergency lighting

is there a way to clear a waypoint in the autopilot?

Amazing work, actually 10/10.

I bet you cant make it faster

Matt are you going to become the next Spider?

I genuinely really appreciate when people remember this game is (was?) about search and rescue. Fantastic ship.

is the night vision supposed to have a big white dot in the middle? it kind of prevents it from being usable :3

Amazing ship

Emm,I want to explain something to the PPT,i mean that the navigator seat has 1 hotkey for PPT but you may just forgot to connect that to the radio controller's external ppt port.In this case,if you seat on navigator seat and push 1 ,it will not work.if you touch the montior,it will work as normal

Thanks @Lriy, Those issues should be fixed now!

Hey @darryl_belcher and @djmikeygargar thanks for the feedback! The reason the boat capsizes in career is caused by 2 issues:

1: The inbalance of fuel because of too little stored fuel, this causes only one of the 2 tanks to fill and thus causing massive weight inbalance.

2: The stabilisation system uses XML-edited rocket motors, by giving the rocket motors more fuel than intended, you can make an extremely heavy weight block, this works fine in custom mode but causes issues in career.

To adress these issues, i've made a career friendly version which should help aleviate both of these issues.

Some bugs: 1.On compass display monitor,it should be "E" when heading 90 but it shows "0".
2.PPT doesnt work because it doesnt connect to the controller.3.the instrument panel that shows which water cannon you are controlling doest work beacuse it has no power connection.

I am having the same capsize issue and I thought it to be fuel imbalance but I balanced it and it didnt work...

works well in custom mode capsizes in career

used this to rp a crew rescue from a sunk sub. its pretty good.

I lived on Navy ships for years. Some of your interior shots give me flashback feelz.
I only opened this for inspiration on my current build.
It worked.

Cool!

Doesnt seem like the refueling and recharning works :/

the window on the right i think is mispainted

@code-name kobra The bilge pumps are automatic, though they're very slow as this boat was mostly built before the recent pressure update and thus i didn't account for pressure other than a simple vent. i'll see if i can improve the speed but everything is pretty tightly packed so i might not have the space to do so
