I've recently decided to play through the Barotrauma campaign using the Malachite for the last two biomes and have encountered a rather unfortunate problem with this otherwise amazing submarine when it comes to finishing the campaign:
(Endgame Spoilers ahead!)
When exploring the Alien ruins/Eye complex at the end location, you come across a passageway that your submarine is supposed to fit through (Not the initial gate, but the tunnel you descend through afterwards) . The Malachite is just a few hull segments away from fitting through, but it is unfortunately not possible to properly get it through that final passage.
Considering that these ruins probably always have the same layout this probably means that it's currently not possible to finish the campaign with it.
I've already tried cutting away the entirety of the side hull segments to try and work around it, but the hull layer of the submarine just doesn't quite fit through.
If anyone has ideas apart from backtracking to the nearest outpost and switching subs (which can be a bit complicated in the Hydrothermal Wastes) or using commands that'd be great too. Maybe I'm just missing something obvious, or there's a way to get it through the tunnel after all.
Thanks in advance!
