Realistic Crew

Description
I've retired from modding and have uninstalled this game. Please comment to let me know this mod is out of date and I will update it as soon as possible, thanks! This does not mean I will be adding additional features. I will not be doing that. I will only be keeping it current with the latest version of the game.

What does this mod do?
Changes the amount of crew we're able to have. It allows up to 9 officers on the type 7 boats and up to 30 crew. There has been an adjustment made to oxygen consumption to compensate for the extra crew. While you can upgrade to 9 officers on the type II boats it is not recommended to do that because there are not enough beds for that many officers on those boats. If you do use 9 officers on the smaller boats that is only intended to be done for very short, half or one day patrols, not patrols that will last 2 or more days (an over night or more).

updated for v2025.1.1 Patch 4

v2025.1.1 Patch 1 is not supported.

You have to earn and unlock or cheat reputation to get more officers. It's not automatic.

Got it, it was a conflict with the Hardcore Noise Solution mod; the officer counts were fine but the crew did not increase. Thanks for your help!

This mod is as described, rat. If you have other crew modifications active try disabling them and seeing if the crew number is 30 when you do that.

I created a new savegame with the type VIIB but the # of crew is still at 20. Checked the description but don't see anything indicating how to increase this to 30.
too bad.
I'm new to modding, but I could have this version. Maybe I'll manage to finish developing it.

[Nr.2] Manfred von Richthofen: Yes, if it were done through scripting. Which I have a version of but I haven't released it because both I and the person that wrote it have retired from modding.
I will continue to support this mod and whatever else I've posted to the workshop for any game for as long as I can.

Canny: Yep. That's why, unfortunately.

Ohh it’s not savegamr compatible? Thats probably the reason why I only have 7 officers and 20 crew even with rep cheated
Is there a way to rewrite the mod so that it is savegame compatible?

DjHonore: This has been asked many times.I am not going to give support on how to do that because it will lead to problems with playing the game. There aren't enough beds on any of the boats for any more crew than this mod allows. If crew or officers don't sleep because there isn't a bed for them to sleep in the boat doesn't operate. I'm not helping people do that to themselves.

if one wanted to modify officer and crew numbers directly or increas said limits using this mod's files, how might one do so?
