So i tested this sub with my dudes.

The submarine is nice to look at, beautiful, but at the same time, the appearance does not stand out from the authenticity of the game.

The reactor's power seems to be insufficient and without a fully upgraded reactor I had to keep only one engine running. However, with a fully upgraded reactor, I could turn on all the engines.

The double walls are a feature of the submarine, but in my opinion, they make the submarine too powerful and annoying (large monsters are not a threat, and small monsters get stuck in the hull), although my crew like it, but iam not.

The drone is very useful, it's nice to be able to help the external team while being on the ship as a captain with a bottle of rum in my hand and a cigar in my pocket.

Overall, I liked the submarine , but I wouldn't use it because of the imbalanced external walls and the issues with the default reactor (If you want, you can fix it yourself in the submarine editor)

@Canadyne Galdur-B was the old prototype drone that used to be kept at Dock C and could only attach to the upper ports of the sub. It was made obsolete by Galdur-C, which is more compact and can attach to the top and bottom of the sub. I just left Galdur-B in the files for fun :)

What is the purpose of the Galdur-B Drone? It is in the files and I can see it in the sub editor but it does not seem to have been used for the sub itself.
From what I can tell it seems like it was because when docked with the Bicksborg the pump is always running when the lower hatch is open but I think that it would be a great addition if it were implemented.

@Kinkaku yes it is bot friendly

@Hereticus if you bought the ship in your campaign before the last update, it will stay as it was at the time (campaign ships don't get updated automatically). You can check sub editor to see what the latest version looks like.

I see in the update log that theirs a new vending machine in the mess all, but after updating, I see no such vending machine.

I tried reloading, even went to a shipyard to see if the Vending machine was an upgrade.

The cake was a lie.

Is this boat Bot Friendly?

Oh, yeah, sry.
Also i notice that without changing PerfFix settings drone works in campaign but not in sub editor.

@HolyShit you might be using Performance Fix - check the pinned discussion

Maybe i do something wrong, but chaingun is not workind on drone..
I do double-clicking and holding but nothing happend

Thanks :)

@Yeetus Cheetus it's a massive heavy sub so it takes a lot to run it. If you want power management to be easier you can use the ARC and turn on Auto-charge mode for the batteries

Another question: Why does the sub consume so much power? Like im just driving and then my power goes poof

Nvm I'm stupid I didn't undock

How do I use the drone? When I hold down the click it just shoots the chaingun.

@aidowl oh word??? Going to do that right now!

@The Talented Wilford Brimley as a workaround, you could keep one or both of the room's doors open all the time by using the switch inside the top of the doorframe (yellow light means always open)

Going through my 4th or 5th solo camp, and using this likely as my final ship. It's beautiful, complex but navigable. I don't understand the double haul, but reading comments it seems great for traitor/MP. Most of my gripes are digestible, and lua_linker takes care of most of them.

However, my biggest complaint seems to be more of an issue with Baro itself and not your sub; NPCs (medic, assists, etc) not being able to access the 'VIP' room has been pretty vexing. Just wish you could edit perms on the fly, not have to futz around with the sub editor (something I havent gotten into yet).

@ST00LD if you’re using an outdated version of the sub in your campaign, it unfortunately can’t be switched off. This is because the update that made jukeboxes play music only came out recently, and the old sub’s box was uninteractable.
But in newer versions you can now click the jukebox and turn down the volume.

Me and my friends have been playing on the bicksborg for months and we cant stand the clown music anymore. Is there anyway to stop it?

Hi, lovely sub but please address the issue where the bots can get stuck while fixing the engine of the shuttle. Thanks.

Great submarine overall, really fun and feels like a good T3 sub. FPS is a bit low without performance fix but works really well after that. Noticed that bots can get stuck in the drone when they are trying to fix it's engine

Well done, the inside ballast shell is a great concept. Allows traitors to crawl around, provides an outer layer, gives spaceship dark corridor vibes, very fun!

Dang, I've been in this thing for hours and there's still secrets, how the heck!?

Great job, my friend!

@Chromium thanks for your comment! I'll increase the ladder height next time I'm in sub editor. Btw, there's already a safe behind one of the bookshelves to the right of the painting :)

This is a great submarine. My favorite late-game submarine by far .

I may add two pieces besides this praise:

1) the "dismounting from a ladder doesn't work right" issue is probably caused by the anime girl mod. My friends and I ran that for a silly Saturday night a while back and we noticed it then. I add "probably" because I have noticed it sporadically happening since then. It's probably just at the bare minimum length to work, and with rounding errors or floating point nonsense it screws up.


2) I have a local copy with a door between the conn and the top deck of the cargo hold (for convenience) and a safe behind the Captain's painting (for RP). Other than these changes I consider the sub perfect as-is.

Well fucking done.

@Chum it should work if you copied over the Performance Fix settings correctly... did you make sure to click the save config button? Or if it's on a server, you'd need to use 'reloadlua' console command after updating the settings. Also check that the drone's supercap and loader aren't damaged.

Hello Aidowl!

Im having issues with the gun on the drone not firing whatsoever for whatever reason.

Instead, it just makes the initial barrel spinup noise and repeats it without ever actually firing.

I do not know if this is a mod issue or not however I have tweaked my performance fix settings to the ones you posted in the pinned thread.

Thank you for your time if you read this. @Aidowl

@Jake Quinn you'd have to download a save decompressor and decompress the .save file, then drag the extracted .sub file into sub editor to edit it. After editing and saving put the updated .sub back into the folder and re-compress back into .save

Does anyone know how I can update the ship mid campaign? I have updated the mod, but the ship itself has not updated (we are currently using the ship). Please I need to be able to turn off the jukebox.

the juxtaposition between this and the rustbucket (or deep manatee) is crazy

@Yog-Sothoth21 I’m glad you like it. The double hull is probably too OP for most campaigns, unless you have monster difficulty mods such as Barotraumatic or Let Them All In.

@Hit by a Parked Car you can wire things up to the relays that supply the fabricator and deconstructor, which are somewhere in the ceiling of the fab room. Otherwise like you said, just use any empty junction box pin

Like your sub very much. Could you please tell me, is it campaign compatible? Or is it too OP?

Odd. I’ll chalk it up to modded player model shenanigans. In any case I’ve made a local copy and extended the ladders a little myself.

One last question: are there any good wiring spaces for modded fabricators, or is it a case of simply finding any junction box not completely full?

@Hit by a Parked Car I'm not getting that problem... if you climb to the very top of the ladder and then walk off it works normally

God, I wish I could just edit Workshop comments.
One more ladder with the same issue as the Growroom ladder: Battery Compartment to Junction Compartment.

Okay, figured it out. Used a save decompressor tool, deleted the Bicksborg II (after switching out to another sub), then rebought it. The campaign save now uses the most up to date version.

One minor error that I'd like to report is that the Growroom ladder is marginally too short to simply walk off of.

Is there a way for me to "update" the sub in a preexisting save? Like, for example, buying another sub, and then switching back to it?

AUGH

@Hit by a Parked Car - if you’re using the latest version then yes, just click on the jukebox.
But if you’re using one of the old versions from the time before jukeboxes made sound, then unfortunately you cannot.

Is there a way to turn off the jukebox?

I think that your ship is one of the most technically advanced, and to add a voiceover will not be so difficult just follow the example (well, the voice can be changed to a more appropriate).

@Altogolik that would be cool but I don’t have the modding skills for that haha

My favorite sub, very cool.
Maybe you can add a sound of damage to the ship's systems like in Unoculus ? That was technologically advanced and cool. Unoculus has some cool features.

@Breadboy it makes the ARC respond more quickly to load changes, but at the cost of higher fuel consumption

@Aidowl

Amazing sub!! I had one question about the "turbo" mode, I really cannot figure out exactly what it does to increase performance? Could you explain?

@LordDenda I personally feel the sub is more suited for at least Hellish difficulty or, ideally, Barotraumatic. So yeah you might find it too easy for your game

Hello. Is this too easy to play with? We are playing on difficulty between normal and hard. Modifier 35%. I suppose we will meet and buy the ship in 3rd or 4th biome. 4 manned crew. It looks great and easy to use... I am just afraid that the game will be too easy with it.

=D

I found two hidden Logbooks and found your Minecraft server history, very interesting

@Kyo0x it’s Lammert’s ARC linked in credits. Make sure you turn off the vanilla auto control in the reactor UI before activating ARC
