i love how detailed your descriptions are plz keep it up!!!

I don't know why, but the ship sinks after I spawn it.

Google Docs, if you conect the power from the refuling hatch to the instrument panals inside it will work again!

Not dead yet, just super busy. Sorry about that. I started working on a turbine version of the Cinti to give her more oompphh, but I simply can't find the time right now. Working ~12h/day

You cant refuel it anymore, because of a glitch when selecting tanks, but this is the best ship I have ever used in stormworks.

It's a normal boat?

i think vitus died

No, this is a medium range vessel ~50km. For fuel efficiency, use the fourth gear.

One thing I did want to know, is this ship able to go to the Arctic in one go?

Ah alright. I couldnt really tell I thought there be a R symbol on it but thanks for that.

Downshift with the gear selector, past neutral "--" there is reverse.

I do quite enjoy this amazing ship but one thing that seems to be missing or I just being blind, is the reverse as Im not too sure how to back the ship up

It seems to occur when i read certain descriptions.... very weird...

I dont know why, but some time after starting the cinti or the post, the game crashes for me :(

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2055011108 Used your air start in my ship. Works fantastically although i adjusted it for my needs.

An autopilot would be nice, but its still awesome!

@Vitus Hey! I thought you should know, this is my favorite ship in workshop so far. I took inspirations from it and made my take on it. I have two posted on the workshop. I was going to comment last few weeks ago, I just forgot.

Hi guys,
thanks for keeping this thread alive, and thank you for your endorsements!
Steam ships: probably not any time soon. I have another script-heavy project, but haven't found any time to continue on it lately.

As for the generator: there are three steps you need to complete.
1. Turn on the Generator Master Switch
2. Open the fuel valve (key button left of the generator)
3. Turn on the Generator ON/OFF switch

Sure you didn't miss one? ;)

hey vitus. im having some issues getting the stand by generator started up. i fliped the master switch and switch it on, it tries to start but never actually catches. when i mouse over the engine the air status drops to 0 everytime it tries to start but then goes back to 100 when it dies. Any thoughts? ive tried to figure it out but have had no luck.

do you have plans to make realistic steam ships?

This ship is AMAZING. It's always a feat when you manage to make an advanced boat of any scale or size. It's even more of a feat when you have all of the advanced features packed in to one compact package. Absolutely stunning. This is the Cadillac of Stormwork cutters. Everything about this is incredible. I wish I had the patience or sensibility to make a medium sized boat like this.

Incredible work!

I'm building a ship using your air start system and air horn system with inspirations from the post and all I gotta say is, doing this for 8 engines SUCKS but it's enjoyable. I'm not done yet with it so it wont be released for quite some time but its going along steadily. Just wanted to inform you since you asked we do that.

The screws are engaged automatically when you throttle up with a gear selected. So once the engines are running, head to the bridge and take the helm. press "1" to shift from neutral to first gear and then W/S to control the throttle. Whenever the throttle is >10% the clutches will engage.

I got her started up fine but i cant figure out how to engage the screws

Aye! Otherwise you keep blowing air into the cylinders and deplete your supply.

Ahh.. i need back off it.. :D

Then you probably left the starter valve in the open position. Make sure to put the starter valve back to "0" after the engine started up.

I ca\nt start 2 engine, not enought presser. Only 1 engine start, but badly

I made it a bit easier by adding a quick list of procedures to the top of the description :)

What are the basic steps to getting the ship started? I'm slightly confused.

Where are you stuck? Did you follow the procedure provided in the description of the ship?

Bad starting engines :(

@TheInsider (Don): at the generator turn on:
1. Generator Master Switch
2. Generator Fuel Valve
3. Generator ON/OFF switch
Then head to the electrical panel and turn on the generator cut-in. The power gauge should read around 50 kW.

Make sure that there's Diesel in the aft. tanks!

@LenTheButcher: I've been working on this on and off for about 2 months.

How long have you worked on that ship ?

How does the generator work exactly? I turn on the main fuse, the fuel supply and the generator itself, but it keeps starting, stalling, starting, stalling.

I hope that this was the only issue with the radio though. Stormworks definitely doesn't make the debugging easy.

Sure i'll test when i get someone to help me. Anyways these things happen so good thing we caught it. I had a feeling it was something like that.

oooooooooooooopsie. The antenna wasn't connected to the keypad......
Could you please try again?

yep it was on and transmitting and alas nothing.

Oh, and make sure that the Radio/Radar breaker in the cockpit is on. Except for the locator beacon, the radios are all hooked into the radio circuit.

Maybe try using different frequencies for each radio. Maybe there's an interference if both are sending at the same time?
The main purpose of the short-range is to operate the refueling cranes.

When we first tested it appeared that the radio was receiving on our test frequency of 10 but for some reason they couldn't read me when I tried sending on both the short and long range. When I respawned it there was nothing going through at all that time strangely.

@KingTiger101: There is a meter for the battery charge - it's in the steering gear compartment. But the battery is also hooked up to the warning system. I.e. when the level reaches 60% you'll get a master caution with the "BAT" indicator on the warning screen. When it reaches 40%, the Master warning will be raised.
As for the breakers, see below. Thanks for letting me know!

@Talia Kuznetsova(Snugglisan~): Could you be more specific, please? Which radio and what's not working? I'll get to it when I know more :)

@Michael Kachyckyj: thanks! I like them a lot as well. Leave a link to your creation when it's up, I'd like to check it out!

Hey folks!
I just read your comments and as a result updated the electrical circuit of the Cinti. The doors are now hooked up to the battery, which should fix your problem with the Megalodon locking you out.

@Talia Kuznetsova(Snugglisan~): As I wrote: use it all, I want to see what you come up with! If you want to credit me, you can, but I really, really don't care. But it would be nice if you could post another comment here to let me know, so I can check it out.

@♠ℜΘß♠๖ÿáĥèll™(HELL): wow, that is odd. The engine control is just simple PD controller, it shouldn't behave that way. Was the sea very choppy? I.e. did the screw get out of the water a lot? That'd be the only reason for this behavior I can think of.


@arturas.andziulis.jr: nice idea. I don't think I can fit it on this ship. Cinti might be a bit too tiny for something like that.

Love the stairs mate. Have replicated. Will deffs credit you for the idea.

Might want to check your radio. I'm not having luck with it.

Also if the breakers pop, there is no way to get into the engine room to turn them back on, as all of the doors fail.

Could you add meters for battery charge level? Also maybe the unused room could be an airlock that leads to a retracting diving platform on the side of the ship?

Add a micro sub bay or a door conector for a bigger sub

Love it dude, messed with this ship the first time for over a 8 hour period until for some reason the engine idle sensors or run sensors kept reving up and nearly stalling on their own... kinda bummed when that happened because I was in the middle of nowhere lol
