Storm outside, Dive to not get my Derck gun damaged, surface to replenish oxygen and not have my crew suffocating, Deck Gun gets damaged (again). It would be an awesome mod, but untill it comes with a free badge of spare parts per patrol i can't recommend it for anyone in early war patrols, when you can't just by a bunch of spare parts.

I agree with the other commenters its a good mod but the deck guns get damaged too often... also the topside hydrophone and radar assemblies should probably get damaged too

how exactly do i turn on the hard mode? i cant really seem to find the settings

sounds like a good realistic mod, but if the guns break as posted by @Dave below. makes it questionable. not that we use the guns that much

Imho the deck gun breaks far too often so it actually kills a lot of the fun factor of the mod, unfortunately. Otherwise I see great potential of this mod especially expanding and widening the scope of the mod.

yes, the main reason I deactivated the mod are the breaking guns outside

Please lower the chance of the flak gun being damaged in a storm, it's like it's made from cardboard. Had it break 4 times on first patrol but the deck gun just once so give it the same probability as the deck gun. I do try to dive to stop my sailors getting sick but with TC it's hard to catch in time. Otherwise a must-have mod. And thanks for the quick fix after patch 12.

I cannot turn on anymore after last update.

If you guys are still having issues, unsubscribe and resubscribe.
Make sure you are using version 1.2.1

Mod broken due to patch 12, can't maintain or switch devices on/off now. I've posted in the game discussions page asking the devs to include the last 2 or 3 patches in the beta participation tab so we aren't forced to update and have mods break, adding your support with a comment would be appreciated. It's stupid the Betas listed include tons of old b1** patches but they can't be bothered to include the most recent ones. Hope an update is simple and timely, right now I'm dead in the water because I can't turn on the water distiller and my crew are about to mutiny. Just allow me to rollback, such a simple solution ffs...

@Alfared i'd also prefer that. the popup makes it feel like a red alert situation

Would It be possible make the maintenance popup a one of the alerts on the right of the screen?

@Rettile
I need to rewrite the popups, they make maintenance seem much more pressing than it really is.
But that requires updates to the localization.
You have a minimum of 5 hours to do maintenance before there will be any effects (could be as high as 50 hours).
Your idea would essentially require a rewrite of the way the maintenance schedule works. It's not out of the question, but it's not happening near term.

Thank you very much for your mods! If I may share my thoughts, personally I would prefer if it were possible to carry out maintenance at any time, in order to postpone the moment it becomes necessary. This would be useful before a long and dangerous mission where I wouldn't want any hiccups and I think it would also inrease immersion even more. TY!

Deep Leaks mod has disassemble for parts.

Version 1.2.0 should fix the issue where maintenance sometimes causes damage that then require repair.
It does not remove damage if you ignore maintenance, but that requires ignoring maintenance for hours in-game.

Visual consumption of engine oil during engine maintenance?
Is it possible to make sure that the engine oil taken on board the submarine is consumed?

@DARKNESS I'm late, but thank you !

@DARKNESS no way, thanks so much for the info! i could swear it was from this one. my bad

@Bana, don't use the custom actions mod, it is incorporated into this mod.

@BobbySopor I think that feature was from Iron Coffins mod.

can i still dismantle equipment to get scrap metal to build spare parts so i can repair stuff?

iirc i had a situation where the bilge pump got destroyed and i got stuck with too much water in the boat so i was stuck to the seabed. i had no spare parts left so i dismantled the radio station and with these parts to repair the pump, got back to surface and went home. pretty interesting and unique situation.
is this still possible?

Hello,
Love the mod, thank you !
I have custom actions enabled, yet every maintenance "action" instantly break the part.
Is it how it's supposed to work ?
Thanks !

Bilge pump is fixed, thanks alot!

That's fixed.
But the "try to do maintenance but get damage instead" bug is likely still there.
I know what code is doing this, I just don't know why. I've asked Alligator about what that code is supposed to do, but it may take him some time to get back to me.

@DARKNESS
Yeah, that would do it.

Just a guess here, but could the problem with the bilge pump instantly breaking be due it not having a time to damage value like the other examples have? (look around line 554)

Missing Example:

if ((maintenanceModifier.Value + timeToDamage) == (float)(hoursOnSee))


Hopefully sq_paradox can take a look this.

I also have the instant death of the bilge pump when i get the mainentance notification, please fix it. Great mod otherwise

Any chance we could get a update to this that would allow me to perform maintenance on specific item at times I wish instead of having to wait for the pop up to happen? I've had this trip a few times now at critical times and it would be nice to do maintenance before hand on critical systems so they say the electric engines don't require maintenance right after I engage a convoy (which has happened a few times now.)

Had the "bilge pump requires maintenance" pop up, so I waited around for a few minutes before trying to perform the maintenance but was still forced to repair the pump for the cost of a part.

Without knowing anything about how UBOAT handles health of objects, is there a timer that's being ignored when RNG maintenance occurs? Expected behavior is for the timer (probably in thousands of ms) to run until "0", then the "damage.part[object]" method gets called? I'm wondering if the timer (or whatever mechanism you're using) isn't functioning properly.

My deck gun just stops working and I can't assign anyone to it. I try to send a mechanic to fix it or maintain it but all he can do is operate it. HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN A DEVICE when it stops working? I have spare parts but I don't see any "maintenance symbol" on anything. I uninstalled the mod and now my deck gun still doesn't work, it flashing on and off, I guess I'll delete my Cache, etc.

Ah ok. I only had the mod for a few days before the update so maybe that’s why I didn’t notice it before. Ok. I’ll try to give a little more delay before I do it. Awesome mod though. Adds a lot more immersion and interesting elements to the game

@Shadowvale
That's an old bug I've never managed to hunt down. It seems to happen when you try to do maintenance too quickly after getting the message.

Hi, I've been really enjoying this mod but seem to be having an issue that just began after the last patch (21). Now, whenever a device comes up for maintenance, upon clicking the maintenance button the device instantly breaks and requires repair. It worked normally before, and I don't believe I am doing anything different

hey, i finally started to play the full version of uboat because these mods came up. so thanks for that <3

i remember that with this mod it was possible to dismantle equipment to get scrap parts to repair other stuff. is this option gone or am i missing something?

@sq_paradox
Many THX for your work!
Greetings,
Alligator

Wow! Toll das hier auch weiter gearbeitet wird, vielen Dank dafür.

Hier stelle ich den Mod vor https://www.youtube.com/live/TgzHD_cvFAA

Thank you so much

Vielen Dank für die Aktualisierung

I just wondered yesterday, when will this be updated. And here it is. Thank you!!!
