I'll have to test my workshop subs for the latest Calm Before the Storm update, but have no reason to doubt they should work fine as they are all vanilla. Only one or two maybe use legacy decorative items which it seems the devs have decided to remove from the sub editor, which is annoying, so they have incorrect sprites (I'm currently just trying to update these subs).

UPDATE: I gave my workshop subs a quick test each in the editor sandbox, all appear to be working fine. I had to replace my The Rusty Sow workshop sub completely but that should be all good now too after a few updates.

Of my submarines that meet your specifications, you could try the Dallas or the Humpback Deep Diver, they are average size (certainly not big) and contain all sorts of mod cons, you shouldn't need to do any tinkering unless you really didn't like the way something was set up.

Bicksborg II is the most advanced out there (bot friendly, ARC, remote+manual drone w/ gun, artifact holder, etc. etc.) but it's a big performance hit in my experience. Hard to beat it, but no mineral scanner means you're gonna be doing a lot of diving. Get ready to become a husk.

I really enjoy the Middle Kruste personally, which doesn't have fancy ARC but really makes up for it with its general performance, especially in Tier 2. If you don't mind doing without an artifact chamber, it's the perfect sub IMO.

Thank you! The submarines you suggested are very good.
Can you recommend anything else?

its got an automated turret, and the weapons can all be controlled from the helm
so may be 2player friendly
