Infinite fuel and electricity can cause various issues as mentioned in the wall of text above so check if those are enabled. (and disable if they were enabled) Otherwise I don't really know about the latest updates as I haven't had the time to play the game in quite a while. However it is very possible that updates have broken something as they usually do. If the speed loss happens after a longer time it might be necessary to add pressure relief valves or whatever they were called to fuel tanks as they weren't necessary when I made the boat.

The boat goes from 20 kts to 8 kts for no reason at full throttle, could it be the update?

everything with this ship was awesome and i say was because i got attacked by the kraken bc im the most unluckiest person of course but suprisingly the ship stayed afloat and dry for a very long time even tho the kraken was annhiliating it

I did too but it won't load on my addons menu.

Same here man

omg i found finnaly the ship what neotastic make his videos of

@masonllking It is possible that some update has broken it further. Haven't had the time to test it in quite a while so not sure. I'll try to check it out at some point. Meanwhile check that you don't have infinite electricity or fuel on as that may break some systems in the boat.

the rpm goes from around 500 but after awhile it starts lowering all the way down to 255 and it stays there unless you respawn it.

where is the generator room and how do i turn the power on?

whats the safe code

Thanks! :)

best ship every made

There are buttons to do so in the captains cabin in the lower deck. But it no longer works as well as it used to due to changes in how sinking works in game.

how do you sink it

That’s a good idea I’ll try to do that

@everest_gamer Oh, there's fishing now? Haven't played in a while. I guess I could have a look whenever I have the time to play the game. But I guess you can always add them yourself as well, just plop the stuff somewhere on the rear deck

Hey this might be alot to ask but can you add fishing rods and hoppers to the boat for fishing?

Sorry missed your message. It is 31415.

What is the password for the safe in the captains room?

@thevannermanner There is a button which "simulates" sea mine explosion. Activate it in captain's cabin on lower deck and the boat will explode in a few mins. Although that requires weapons dlc. If you don't have it you just have to smash the boat to islands at max speed until it sinks :) But the space & gas update thing may have affected how it sinks so I'm not sure how well it works currently as things keep changing. At one point it sank almost immediately then at some point it was already sunken when spawned and at one point it didn't even sink so dunno really what's the current situation. Last time I tested it it worked relatively fine.

Is there any way on how I can sink the boat?

@Hermann Thanks :) The lifeboat battery sometimes drains when the main boat is wrecked badly enough but there is backup battery&breaker in the back of the lifeboat which gives enough power to start the engine.

But for some reason, after I released the lifeboat, its battery was dead

Still the best ship ever made. Mind blowing work.

@SpaceCat Thanks. Seems the latest patches have fixed the cooling issues at least pumps seemed to move fluid again. :)

Really awesome ship, thanks a lot!

NOTE! Updates have fixed the sinking issue mentioned below and boat is a bit faster now, but engine cooling systems don't work and there are stupid pressure issues with everything, especially so when the boat sinks (you can jettison yourself out of bridge emergency escape hatches by waiting until pressure gets high enough and opening the hatch. Then you can hover in the air over it as the boat sinks. Wonderful. I'm waiting for a while to see if these stupid issues (or features?) are fixed by the devs before doing any major fixes to the boat. The fuel/pump systems are fairly complicated so I'd rather not mess around with them unless I really have to.

I had a look and pretty much everything is broken in the boat. It is half sunk as was mentioned and stays so even if I start the engines and get it moving. Engines don't work properly anymore, aux generator randomly stopped working, overheated engines no longer start burning but still somehow lose power, every door has water leaking effect & weird sound on it when opened, all interior is dry but still the thing is half sunk by default. When I then triggered the mine explosion the boat sinks in around 3 seconds. When the boat sinks weird particle effects shoot in all directions at very high speeds. One positive thing is that the lifeboat still works. Whee. Oh and one NPC helicopter seemed to fly sideways for some reason. So, all in all, I guess they broke their physics even more. This is beyond my skills to fix unless the devs tell exactly how they have changed things in case these changes aren't bugs. It isn't just my boat either, plenty of similar comments on other things as well.

@everest_gamer Yes that is quite likely. If that is the case I don't think I can fix it. Maybe the devs fix whatever they broke. But thanks for the information. I'll check if I can do anything when I have the time (if the devs don't fix their things)

i think the space update broke the boat whenever i spawn the boat it goes to thew side the most of the boat goes underwater it almost capsizes for me and i dont know why im assuming its because of the space update because it was fine before the update then all of this happend after the update

@BlueDolphinQueen Yeah I suppose, though I think I had a winch on the main boats rear deck, unless I removed it at some point. But there are ropes in the storages on the rear deck and you can always attach the lifeboat to the rope anchors with those. But in some situations it would be useful to have usable winch controls on the lifeboat. Maybe I'll give it a go if I have time at some point. Or you can just pull it back up with the main boat's "davit" system. It's a bit tedious to use sometimes but not impossible. (though high waves make it really annoying)

@Len4rd Not really as it's closed loop iirc but if you want to overheat the engines just keep the emergency power switch on in the helm and eventually they will go pop. (though maybe not in the arctic) Or you can always just delete the pumps from the engines and that should heat them up quickly. Or did you have something else in mind?

It would be very nice to have winch controls in the lifeboat so you can use the boat as a dingy sortof

Can you disable the coolant?

Thx a lot really

The code is 31415

what is the code for the captions safe

Or if you mean that non of the buttons work that is because by default main breaker is off. Flip in on in the bridge. (breaker switch is on the right side wall, the left one on top row)

@NAHDOG: 7 knot thing might happen if you have infinite fuel and electricity enabled in settings. I think it did something like that previously. @GuzGo1000 Which buttons do you mean? Sinking buttons? If so, you need to have the weapons dlc enabled for the mine explosion and the other one is just one pump slowly filling up the engine room. Make sure to disable the bilge pumps. Otherwise nothing really happens. Also updates have kinda made the mine sink happen way too quick so for more interesting sinking I recommend opening the front deck hatch (and other hatches / doors depending on how quickly you want to sink) and driving around in high waves. Or just banging the boat on some rocks until it starts leaking. It does have relatively good watertight compartments&effective bilge pumps so it takes a while to sink normally. Though most compartments aren't 100% watertight on purpose and will start leaking if submerged.

When i click on the buttons they dont work

FOR SOME REASON THE SHIP SLOWS TO 7 KNOTS HELP ME I LOVE THIS BOAT

Thanks! I did some testing and at some point the damage system has changed so that the ship sinks really quickly. Back when I made this I had to put in a hatch on the bottom that opens when the "mine" explodes so that the boat would even sink, but now it sinks in a minute or two even when I removed second warhead and the hatch. It's a shame as earlier there was just enough time to fix the boat so that you could limp it home. Was a nice challenge, though I guess it makes sense that hitting a mine sinks the boat quickly. Now it also breaks the blackout feature when sinking as the damage area is much larger and fires spread past the engine room. There isn't even enough time to launch the small boat now. That sort of ruins the whole sinking/compartment system I built for this but it is what it is I suppose. Well, anyways, It is still sinkable for sure.

this ship is over whelming on how many details...I love it.

Ty

Sink buttons are in the captain's cabin on lowest deck. I'm not sure if the slow method works anymore as some updates may have broken it. Also the interesting sinking has also changed so that the ship sinks faster than before. And that requires weapons dlc.

How to sink?

Also if you spawn it without fuel the emergency fuel tank is also empty. I think you can refill it as well if you enable the emergency fuel when refueling. (and probably the balancing pump as well) But I'm not sure if it works. Or maybe it had some mode for refueling. Can't remember as I haven't had the time to play the game in a long while.

There are two and they are in the side decks near the side doors. Enable balancing pump when refueling. (it is in the small room on the lower deck opposite of the medbay)

Where's the refuel port

Was wondering where the refuel port are
