Sadly, the Stormworks Devs put out an update making propellers in water extremley sluggish. It takes them ages to get to speed and to stop again. I opened an Issue in the Issue Tracker a few years ago, but to no availl. All i can say: the faster you drive, the better you can steer, also countersteering to slow down the steering probs is also a good thing.

I really like it, but how do you steer it? When i press left or right it turns, but always like 90° or more, so you cant steer it very precisely. Is that intentional or skill issue from me?

@UR_MOM
Yes, you can use it, as long as you link the original GUPPY in the description! I'm actually quite thrilled to see my little submarine as a part of a larger creation! :=

@Lix I don't know how to direct message you, but I am hoping to get your permission to use this sub in conjunction with a ship I am working on. I'd like to publish it on the workshop. It uses the GUPPY directly.

This is a cool little Sub, i liked it so much that i decided to update it, the link is https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2258698643 , Hope this is ok with you Lix if not i will remove it :)
I have linked this one to my version and you get all the credit for the design :)

That sounds awesome I can't wait to see that.

Yeah, i actually did this mission when testing this sub. I ended up flooding his vehicle to turn on the connectors, wiggled myself with the bottom connector onto it and because i stayed connected to my ship's crane the whole time, i was able to pull them both out of the water. The dude barely survived in a little air bubble in his craft. Wasn't my finest rescue, wouldn't recommend... :D

But it got me thinking, maybe i can build a steerable diving bell with a connector hatch that simply can be put on the ship instead of the submarine. Well, this gets added to the to-do-list. "Develop special equipment for special missions".

There was a mission to rescue someone from a sub at the bottom of the ocean. The funny thing about this was trying to drag up the sub but could not attach to it (the connect's on the broken sub were not on lol). I then decided to open hatch to rescue but that ended badly too. I have been laughing the entire time trying to problem solve this then realized it had a special dock for the sub. But yeah the ship is far more important right now cause kept running out of batteries on the sub and dragging it behind another ship does not work well with rock. The build is awesome but understand my stupidity to operate it correctly can be a problem. And thank you for taking time to help out people who can not build properly.

Right now i'm building a ship that can carry and recharge this submarine. But maybe afterwards i can build a rescue submarine. What features would you like a a rescue submarine to have?

A rescue sub next? I have been looking around for good subs. I like this one but tried to modify it to rescue but failed to get it to work properly after. But thank you for the good work.
