She is also easily capable of running in any physics setting. For a full list of her features and history, please read below.

Spawns at the Creative Island


In October 1888, three new cargo / passenger ships were ordered, however, due to financial difficulties the three were sold off to different shipping lines. The SS Orinoco, the first of the trio, was launched on November 2nd 1889, finished in February of 1890 and underwent trials in early March of that same year. Steaming at ten knots, she served the River Line through transporting a large variety of cargo: standard cargo, cattle, and passengers. In 1899, she was requisitioned as a troop ship during the Boer War. In 1901 she was returned to River Lines where she resumed her pre-war services. Her career remained uneventful until she ran aground at low tide in the Mersey. She suffered no damage and was refloated a month later. She resumed service until she was called to assist in the First World War where, in 1914, she was almost sunk by a torpedo. In 1918, after surviving the war, she was sold off to an Italian company who kept her original name, but in 1923, she damaged her propeller shaft, and after being deemed a total loss she was sold for scrap. She arrived at the breakers on August 23rd 1923.


TO START
Fill up the 2 boilers with coal and press the ignite button. Turn up the water injectors to max and wait for pressure to build. Each boiler should sit around 9.5 pressure. In the engine room, wait for the steam pressure dial to reach it's max value of 19.2, then move the regulator in the direction you want the ship to move ( forward for forward, and back for revers. DO NOT pay attention to the + and - signs)

TURN ON LIGHTS
In the back of the engine room there is an electrical panel. Wait for steam to build and electricity to be generated. The flip the breakers and you should be able to turn on lights. Each room / section has their own light switch, so you'll need to go around the ship to turn them all on.

SINKING / SCUTTLE
On the helm, you can press hotkey 5 , or you can press the scuttle button that is located by the port side coal bunker in the boiler room.

STEAM POWERED SYSTEMS
There are many systems on the ships that are powered by steam. These dependent systems comprise of:
- propulsion
- steering
- lighting
- whistles
- cargo crane
- condenser pumps
Without steam pressure, none of these systems will function. At any point steam can be evacuated from the system by flipping the steam ejection levers on each boiler, but make sure to also turn off the water injectors otherwise pressure can still build.
