River & Coastal Freighter - Medieval Industrials

Hello industrialists & hello to those who want to become one!

I built a small River & Coastal Steam Freighter or "runner" for PNL and MI Servers. It can be used for early game or short range cargo transportation, optimized for rivers with shallow waters. It can carry over 100t - ship is 16t (125t total weight is my recommendation) with max speed of 23kmh - I upload later a T2 Steam-Engine version, it can reach over 40kmh.

!!! IMPORTANT !!!
If you load or unload the ship, make it static! Its much more safety. Steering is provided by 2x Engines & propellers. Reduce the power of one of them (2 contr.) to steer the ship. Its also possible to steer the ship at position and turn it without movement. There is also a third propeller to help the ship to understand the "turning" - sometimes it needs time to understand the proppelers are not spinning with same RPM.

META: It is less suitable for too long distances, as the player has to drive for a relatively long time. So I would use it for distances up to a maximum of 8km. But of course everyone can decide for themselves :)

The ship can fill up with 1x 1301l Water & 2x2026l of other Liquids and thus drive over 2h with full speed - enogh Coal Storage at Engines.

The controls are on the steam engine and on upper deck - 1x for each engine, 1x for the helper-side controls and 1x steam whistle.
You can customize the controls in the options.

The ship has a few decoratives.

I set a few standing plates, but of course you can set your own plates, for example on the masts.

To be able to use the ship in multiplayer, you should use a sync block. Blocks are inside the deck, under a hatch in the center.

Be careful if you take more than 125t of cargo on board! You can measure the weight with: Take a jerrycan and press left mouse button + button B

Have fun industrializing & Fun Sailing Trip! :)
