due to limitations of se itself the water is basically just another layer of the atmosphere which results in you beeing able to pressurize stuff unter water but still having the slowdowneffect of the water present to my experience.

will submarines work? Will they get filled with water even if sealed?

check the command guide

how do i make waves bigger?

Toney - Tides roll in and out. I dropped a few blocks to measure high and low tide so my feet weren't getting wet in my base. lol

game breaking bug, when dogs enter the surface of water

The water is rising on one of my planets, any clue why?

You should really update your mod, the 'new' DLC turrets (gatling Type II and rocket type II turrets) work underwater, while their vanilla counterparts don't!

How to enable vanilla weapon underwater?

Ya bit odd with crush depth, i notice bursts of bubbles and when i surface some blocks have damage deformation but somehow are still 100% then apparently at random I will find a normal block that has completely dissolved. last week i ended up scratching my head when a bunch of gas tanks had taken damage on a ship that only ever sits on the surface, and isnt even capable of reaching crush depth. So i guess stuff works it is just a bit.. quirky? I just finished building a series of jetties on my world, and spend hours just bopping around taking boat rides now!.. last weekend i started building water tunnel/canals between nearby but unconnected bodies of water lol game is super quirky on foot in water filled tunnels actually. But boats happily power through them no issue.

For some reason, crush depth does not appear to be working at all. No matter how deep you go, exposed functional blocks remain functional.

actually if i delete all my mods on the server and make them download again, it works again oddly.
Deleted this folder D:\ProgramData\SpaceEngineersDedicated\myworld\content\244850

Water no longer seems to be working on earth like on my server, wcreate also doesn't seem to do anything anymore either? Any idea why?

Is there a way to change the water draw distance? I've created a system with 800 km radius planets and water is not drawing far enough.

@MaskeradeDarkstar
you can still reach the ressources, though you might need to build a submarine for it.
you can collect it via a collector to get ice.
it possible to build a whole underwater city, though due to se limitations you will always have the waters slowdown effect even in fully pressurized enviroments while they are under water.

Can we just swim in this water, or can we get recurces too from this liquid.
I ask, cause it covered some ores and other recurces.
So it is more useful?

Hey, just a heads up, it's apparently reporting the wrong altitude above sea level to ingame scripts, though showing correctly on HUD. It was displaying way wrong in Automatic LCDs 2, and MMaster said it's just reading what the game tells it.

Is there a way to set the order of the foliage so that far away water does not not overlay smoke and wires? Would be awesome for taking images of ships.

@Mr. Madness
well we are all making an f1 error from time to time :)

@Abisius
Thank you for your quick reply mate!
Turns out I'm just an idiot.
I just testet again and yeah, you can't have buoyancy if you are on land....

Completely my bad XD but still thank you

@Mr. Madness
did you put a vent into the enclosed compartments?
its needed for background detection stuff.
also depending on what you use to build the grid you can end up with needing a quite large amount of empty space in enclosed compartments to create enough buoyoncy.

Lil edit: I'm right now testing in creative mode and I have a metric shitton of other mods installed so that could be the reason for buoyancy not working

Cool little mod, mate!
But I got a problem: no matter what I do I seem to not be able create any buoyancy? I got airthight rooms and all, and even if I only use vanilla blocks the buoyancy ratio will stay at 0,0%

For some reason crush depth doesn't seem to be working. I'm not sure if it's completely disabled in Creative or something, but it's not doing anything at all.

@Blackthorn372 Yes the mod is setup to have high and low tides

but say i set water lvl at 1.025014 and that at dock lvl but i go mine com back and the dock is under water so i go tochange usind /wradius 1.025014 no change i have to adjust to 1.025009 or sum like that to keep using the dock

the reason i ask is i try to set up a dock for loading and un loading but every now and again the water lvl changes and i have to adjust the values

@VikingTalon
by building enough enclosed compartments with a vent in it (vent is needed for proper detection to my understanding) that are paced around depending on where the buyoancy of your grid is needed in relation to its weighty stuff.

how do you keep your boat floating

this may be dumb question but is it set up for tides ?

@Belugafest
if you want to know how to get water on a planet just take a look at the moddescription.

how do you spawn in water???????

There are some problems with the overlay of decal textures. Smoke and rigging in front of distant bodies of water turn invisible as they are loaded behind the water decal.

I agree with Vas, it also clips with some modded HUD elements.

Can you please make water not visible unless you are within a planet's gravity well? Being on other planets and seeing this dark blue ball through all fog and everything kinda makes this unappealing. :P I think the water should only be visible once you are in range of its planet.

cool mod thank you for adding it into the code

@Joe Lasagna: I am not using the aerodynamics mod amd this only happens with a select few ships. I do have another question though. I am not a fan of the crush damage and so i have it set to 0. I am also using the personal shield generator mod and when at a certain depth the shield starts flashing as though its being damaged even though it isnt. Yes i did the command correctly and no my grids arent taking damage when below a certain depth either. Anyway to fix this?

hey having an issue and i have no idea what im doing wrong. im in a private world i type in the command and no water shows up even though the chat log says its active. ive tried increasing the radius up to 5 and nothing changes. no expected lag for the water to generate (maybe my puter is fast i dunno) can anyone shed some light on my issue

This is probably the ground effect from the aerodynamics mod

ive been experiencing a very odd occurrence. with water enabled certain ships like the havok pack respawn ships will tilt towards the sky when thrusting forward. it only does this when water is enabled, as soon as i remove the water it stops happening. Ive spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out why this is happening to no avail.

Custom turrets are not working properly, they Aim half way or don't even aim to the target. I tested the turrets in vanilla and in other mods and it seems fine, just with watermod its not, If you can check or find the bug, it would be really cool :D

IS there a way to increase the depth that you can go?

submerge a collector block

How do i mine ice with this mod enabled?

I dont know what changed, but for whatever reason If i put water on say the moon, if i leave a certain radius the water stops functioning, and i must completely remove and replace the water

Additionally, once water is placed on the moon, wradius effects the planet, not the moon.

does it work for real solar systems?

@Laulau
sounds a lot as if you have no compartmentalisation of your ballast tanks while having just a few big ones or not enough to be able to compensate for the damaged ones.

a bp of the grid you have probs with might help shed a bit more light on what is happening there.

I am having problems with buoyancy, even the sligthest dent or entrance into the ballast tanks make my ships sink : (

what is a good planet for this mod?

Does anyone have any tips for getting this to not cause major lag and rubberbanding in a server? I had this in mine with my group, we experienced issues, saw a high Server Thread CPU Load (over 100%), but when I removed water from the planet, the load immediately plummeted and we could play properly.
