Carbo #6

Carbon (from Latin: carbo "coal") atomic number 6 ~ Wikipedia

Created for the Stormworks Community Build Challenge: Coal Powered Steam Ship

"Objective: Build a coal powered steam ship/vessel to transport coal around the world"

Length: 118 Blocks
Spawn Mass: 91372 Units
Max Coal: Haulage: 22576 = 20991(Cargo Hopper) + 1585(Fuel Hopper)
Spawn Coal amount: 21,226‬ = 19641 + 1575 + 10
Top Speed: 12+ Knots

Start Procedure:
- Go to Helm Press Start Button
- Wait for Pressure to build
- Engage Main Throttle

Creator Notes:
- This thing turns poorly and is slower than I wanted it to be while not being balanced. The alt Motors not working make this thing hard to line up to the coal shoot but it's do able. This challenge also doesn't state the coal needs to have a way off the boat so I didn't put one on it. Is this a missing requirement? That sounds like a PM or stakeholder issue.

Features:
+ ~21K Cargo Coal Hold
+ Big Ol Space to shoot Coal into into the boat(45x54 blocks)
+ Custom One Button Push Start Steam Engine (Property Customizable)
+ Custom Lights to indicate Coal Hopper Fullness (Property Customizable)
++ When Throttle not engaged (Inner Light 50%, Middle Light 85% and Outer Red 98%)
++ If the Throttle is engaged then there just nav Lights
+Roll Coal Sticker...
+Outside Lights turn on at night and off in the day


Features?!?......
- Not Working Alt Props and custom controller
- Simplistic Helm
- No Crew Quarters for maximum work time
- MANY MANY PUMPS
- Maximum Space for buoyancy via Ship Hull Design

Things I learned while doing this.
- That if you FireBox is even remotely in ear shot of your condenser it will heat it via air to non operational lvl which will lead to boom
- Steam Engine Systems Require Pumps at ALL POINT Air, Water, Steam Ingress and Egress
- Steam Turbine are not that good for toq
- More Heat can lead more faster start up times, then you can cut the air back to 200ish


-I Work with XML every day, I still can't get the windows to work and at this point I am not going to try again
-- Yes I know about ht tps :/ /stru ner11.com/stormworks/xml/


Closing Notes: I wasted to much time on this for there to be things not done or optimized, but I feel like this a little more than minimal viable product.
