Description
SUSPICIOUS, NEFARIOUS, STEAM-ELECTRIC-POWERED ICEBERG

(Do I even to tell you that this is fictional?)
You ever feel like icebergs are sometimes out to get us, specifically sit where they are so they can sink ships? Wonder what the deal is with that...

Anyways apparently some dude put a steam engine inside an iceberg or something, you heard anything about that at all?

SPECIFICATIONS

LENGTH: 14.25 Meters
BEAM: 11.25 Meters
HEIGHT FROM WATERLINE: 7.75 Meters
DRAFT: 12 Meters
TOP SPEED: 30 Knots
ENGINE TYPE: x2 4-cylinder Steeple Compound Steam Engines driving 2 generators, x2 Electric Motors, x1 Boiler, x12 Battery Banks
FUEL CAPACITY: 5,269 Coal

FEATURES

-Overcomplicated drive system
-Retractable funnel
-"Armored" waterline belt designed to absorb all impacts without damaging the rest of the vessel
-Hidden towing bollard for tugboat work, because why not
-Exposed wiring (great idea inside an iceberg)
-Map table
-Equipment stuffs
-Goober
-Arctic clothing (I forgot to add those until I started writing the description)

HOW TO START/OPERATE

1. The lights won't turn on by default. You need to first head down to the lower engine room (just find ladders that go down) and turn on the Auxiliary Dynamo Switch Gear. Congratulations, you can see!
2. Head back up to the boiler room, light boiler and turn on autocoalers if you want. The engines should all start running automatically once you have steam pressure.
3. Set the power level on the motors to whatever setting you wish, 0-4. (don't forget to do both sides unless you want to start spinning around like Novgorod [just search up "Russian monitor Novgorod" if you don't get it {it's kinda silly}])
4. Once all that is done, you should be ready to move. Head up to the bridge and crank the telegraph handle

When you retract the funnel, it will be covered over and choke out the fire. Once you do that you can switch over to Battery Bank power to keep moving even while the engines are off.

When you get the engines going again to recharge the batteries, you don't need to stop or slow down to recharge faster because who cares about realism

Being of such deep a draft, you won't be able to spawn this thing in some workbenches properly due to them being so shallow. Some of those workbenches include:
-Creative Base
-Camodo Terminal
-Spycakes Terminal (it's almost deep enough, you can scrape your way out)
-Harbour Base
-Uran Wind Power Plant and Uranium Processing (sort of)
-FJ Warner Docks (again, you can scrape out)
-Etrain Terminal (duh)

SINK SWITCHES



EXTRA NOTES

I had fun making this

Obviously this build is not based off of anything but here's a cute little paddle steamer I found a little while ago
