@:Lieutenant Dan: :

Just ignore the outdated warnings in the launcher. The mod should work regardless. :)

hey, pls update!

Hi wntu4,
Yes, the mod should still work.

Not save game compatible means, you have to start a new game for this mod to work.

What you basically do:
Start a new game, talk to the commander in port (the dude you pick up your missions from) then you choose the option to ask for favors and then you should see the different options to increase your officer limit.
You will need to have a few Reputation Points saved in order to be able to use these options.

Hope this answers your questions. It's just a super simple mod, so shouldn't be too complicated to use. :)


Just keep in mind: Start a new game. Otherwise the mod won't load.

I am a bit confused. Does this still work with the latest new game patch? (18) If so how do you use it? I saw nothing different with the leading officer. What does it mean it's not save game compatible? Thank you

Sorry guys, Didn't get notified about your comments.

Glad the mod seems to work with beta 2024.1 :)

I might update the version number, so it won't show up as "outdated" in the launcher, however, I prefer to wait for a few more days/weeks until the dev-patch-cycle calms down a bit. ;)

In the meantime there is s mod for console commands!

@KAMA7A Yep, unfortunately console doesn`t work anymore.

Anyone else on the Beta not being able to use the console? I cant bring it up at all.

It works with Beta! Very cool!!

I can confirm that this works as is on 2024.1

Will it be updated for Beta ? Plz

Ich verstehe nicht wie ich die Anzahl der Offiziere erhöhen soll. Gibt's da auch einen Konsolenbefehl?

@Archie:
I don't think that's possible. Sorry.
So yes, new game only.

Thos mod works only in new game? anyway to get more officer in save game?

@Frederik:

Glad you enjoy my mod here so much!


In case anyone wonders what my personal setup is:
I only take one extra Officer with me, so that I have the even number of 8 Officers on board.

1 Kaleun at the UZO
1 Watchofficer at the UZO
2 Navigator
2 Radiomen - who switch to the hydrophone when submerged
2 Engineer / Weapon Officer

Obviously the Officers change their shift after four hours.
So: Four hours duty, four hours resting.

Anyone diving deep into the game should tryout this MOD.

@ EriTainment

The creation of your More Officers Mod helps everyone considering
"How many and which officers do I actually need ?"

Thanks greatly again.

A vision after 500 hours of sailing might differ from one after "just" 300 hours.

I'm enjoying having 8 officers very much , but I think I'm doing a bit too well.
I might go back to "just" 7 Officers.

@ EriTainment

Experiencing some more sailing and shooting, I notice that, for some reason,
having 5 Officers of duty CAN have all five of them sleep.
Sometimes there is one officer looking for a bed, but most of the time these five can all sleep at the same time.

Thanks again for your Mod.

@ EriTainment

Thank you for your swift reply.
I guess we'll just have to live with this situation then.
I have to say, when only using 8 officers onboard, the situation is bareable by keeping a little eye on the officers' condition. Which isn't that big of a deal.
Using 9 officers onboard is a little too much to deal with and / or would require extensive complicating their work schedule.

Anyway, thanks for creating this mod :)

@Frederik

Nope, unfortunately it is not possible to make the other beds usable.
This is not an issue with my mod but with the game itself.
It is designed to be this way.
Why? nobody knows. :)

I have a problem with this mod.
When I populate the U-Boat with 9 officers, 3 of each class, and have no overlapping schedules within each class, there are always 2 officers who cannot sleep because there's no bed for them available.
Can the two empty beds, visible in the animation, be added to the total amount of beds available for officers to actually use them ?
Is there something in the excel-files I could edit to resolve this issue ?

Finally! vielen Dank!

Hello, I have translated the mod into Spanish. If you want you can add me to Steam

1. Start a complete, fresh campaign.

2. Get yourself some Reputation Points either by earning them through the campaign, or by opening the console and typing "Reputation 25".

3. Use the console to get yourself some more starting money: "Budget 10000".

4. Now go to the Port Officer and click on the favors menu. From there scroll all the way down untill you see the new options added by this mod. Buy all the unlockable options.

5. Go to your crew officer and recruit some more sailors.

6. Click on the crew list in order to customize them.

7. Now promote your sailors to officers.

8. Check to see if your new officers are assigned to your boat.

9. Done, have fun.
_________________________________________________________________________

The mod is updated to the newest and latest patch number.
I update this mod the moment new patch gets released, so I really don't know why you people are struggling with getting this mod to work.

doesn´t work by me too. I have done it like you said before in the comment, so i have more officers in my List but i can´t expand officers on Board and can´t by more places on board so maby u can help me or is it not working with the newest patch i don´t know. So I hope for getting Your Help with it

@goatgas:
That's not how it works.
You still have to get the officers by either promoting sailors or unlocking them by doing missions.

Not seeing any officers to assign to sub anywhere. I have 5, used rep points for the others and nothing has shown up with recruit officer.

Meant to post yesterday...yep, it's working again. TYVM!

Reloaded, tried 8 again - seems to be working now.

I can unlock them, but once I have 8 my UI disappears

Doesn't work. Still stuck at 7 max with no option to unlock more.

I have just installed this game and this mod and it does not work for me

Should work now.

Played yesterday (Fri 10/21) now today the game says the mods are different, and it will not load past the title screen. In fact, the game freezes entirely, and I had to power down to get OFF the title screen.

update: new save doesn't start with the mod downloaded

i started a new save but with the mod activated, the game doesnt work(im on hotfix 6)

@Diablog:
It works for me, so I assume it will work for you, too!

Just be careful with your oxygen when submerged, as more men may need more oxygen! :)

Does this work with expanded crew?

@JM-LeiDao:

Yep, the mod works.
Tested with a freshly, completely vanilla installed game!

However, there are some slight issues where I messed up the numbers and their description displayed when purchasing the officer slots.

It's no big deal at all, to be honest. All you have to do is to basically buy "Raise Officer Limit to 7" twice. The second purchase would count as officer slot 8.

Also don't get freaked out by the "Outdated" message in the mod menu on startup.
It still should work just fine as it is with 2022.1.


If I find time and muse to update this mod, I'll do it.
For now, just use this version as it works just fine. :)

Is this compatible with the 2022.1 update？

Well, this explains why the supply shop/cargo screens are effed up as if I messed with my load order, and get the mods changed warning. So, I'm going to have to restart.

..

However, if the pruning increases compatibility, I'd have to say it's worth it.

Yeah I thought so. But I had the mod deactivated and the option for up to 10 officers

@MostDangerousDan:

The vanilla officer max limit was 7.

Okay very nice! Thank you!
Btw I recently took a uboat break, was the vanilla officer max limit always 9 or 10?

Alright friends,

Mod should now work properly with other mods.
I removed all the unneccecary data sheet-leftovers.

Only very minor issue I encountered while trying UBE (Uboat Expanded):
You get the "increase the amount of officers to 9." option twice when using UBE and MOoB.
Just ignore this and select each officer increase option one by one to the total of 12. :)

Also don't get confused by the numbers shown ingame.
If you chose the option to go for 11 officers, you actually will be able to get 12 officers on board.
There seems to be some minor UI-Bug which causes this.


Should you have any questions, feel free to post them!

-Eri

Does not work with "Iron Coffins". Love this mod but have to deactivate till this mod is fixed or someone else makes something like this.

The bug from @*Nimrod is an UI/Localization bug that shouldn't affect gameplay in anyway.
Each of the officer limit upgrades increases the officer cap by one. They do not change the cap to a specific number. After buying the vanille upgrade for the seventh officer you can buy the moded "increase officer to 7 " upgrade and will have a cap of 8.

Just subscribed to the mod, so I havent played it yet, but after starting a new game I see the options to buy many officer limit upgrades and I have no second captain.
Looks as it would work fine.
But(!) I have to confirm the bug @*Nimrod pointed out. There are 2 options to increase the limit to 7: The vanilla one and the one from the mod

i had the mod work but i cant use some other mods with it if your able to see what u can do to fix this issue that would be nice

i also started a new game as instructed btw
