Pressure gases update
= gas vent on fuel in line
= increased pump out to large pump
= diving suit rack in bridge given air pump to refill
= note diving suit rack below deck lacks an air refill

Tweak of overhead buttons including reworded descriptions. Bow mag all moved from overhead to front starboard dashboard.

Filter update as devs are twits adding new materials to default on to the existing filters.

@Semiramis and other fans
I got into SW again. A brain flash occurred on how to reduce slips and falls while still being able to spawn in the starter dock. Various other upgrades were added making it enclosed and suitable for arctic cold. It is presented as a new boat in the river series: Thelon

Feedback points are fine and useful. Design choices always have pros and cons.

My responses for you didn't fit in Steam's 1000 char limit so please look to the discussion thread "Adventures, tips and how-to"

First of all, congratulations for your design. I've been following you since the first version. With your permission, I will have some suggestions, I hope you will make your new designs with these in mind. First of all, the outer walking areas of the ship are very narrow, so I fall off the ship a lot. and the place where the crane is in the back is always submerged. the rear seems a bit too heavy, maybe you can fix this by lengthening the ship a bit. the lower part of the ship is magnificent, it would be better if the doors were electronic. I had a very difficult time managing the keys on the ceiling very confused. and the cockpit is too far from the driver. maybe some more screens around the captain. e.g. u-shaped. We look forward to your new designs. Good luck.

I am both happy and surprised to see this ramping up the subscriber numbers. This being without very fancy marketing efforts. Feels like it really speaks to its quality after the various generations of refinement. Love to hear of peoples trips in the Adventures, tips and how-to discussion.

To go with the Columbia, which doesn't need DLC, I've made a non-DLC Ranger Rex at:

Ranger Rex has similar excellent qualities for land operations that the Columbia has at sea.

Some text adds listing deflooding procedures and the efficiency concepts.

Update:
= Major inversion recovery improvement through doubling motors and rearranging stern parts
= Text here details inversion recovery
= 2nd diving suit, 2nd spear gun etc added to lower rear store room to support 2 person play (or just resupply in long voyages)

Hey hou Brygun. I find an "Equipment Inventory (Speargun)" (and Ammo) under the Category "Specialist Equipment" and I do not own the search and destroy DLC.

Apart from the fact that I still can't get to grips with the inversion propellers, the Gen3-ship is a real joy. (I like the new spacious lower deck)
Thank you for your wonderful work.

There is now a Columbia Gen3S upload with the S meaning a speargun for dealing with sharks.

This will require the Weapons DLC which is why its a separate upload.

Added a screenshot highlighting the location of the inversion recovery. Note that when actually flipped the floor is the roof so in the flipped state its top center.
