Are holes basically meant to be the equivalent of being crushed? They only seem to occur near crush depth, and usually doom my submarine

Sorry, I'm still a little confused. What exactly does readiness do? Does it make leaks less likely at various depths?

Sure, let me know and don't forget to check the logs. If there is an issue you will likely find lots of infos in it.

Thanks for your reply. It doesn't flood the boat instantly, but I get large leaks in every compartment pretty fast and being down below 150m means the bilge pumps get overwhelmed pretty quickly.
I am using a bunch of mods but none that I can think of dealing with those mechanics. UBE changes lots of stuff but so far I have seen nothing relating to this. I will try again.

This sounds very strange, I just did a smoke test to ensure at least in may safe game everything is still working. I couldn't find any issue. What you describe looks like a total fail of the mod. Either because a other mod is directly conflicting or there is a game event in your safe I've never covered. Therefore ensure that your values are in place (bilgepump deepleaks status window) shoud show you are using "Text" as input (yaml) and ensure it is set to custom and your particular setting are in place. Also check the logs if you find any errors from deepleaks.
As you already reinstalled the mod it should read the yaml and arcade mode by default and this also should not flood the complete boat instantly even if you have 0% readiness.

I can't really get it to work. Used to try on "Arcade". Currently I have set it to "Custom" in the "DeepLeaksConfig.yaml" configuration file, and now even use values that partly are even "softer" than arcade, but each time I get below 150m in the Typ VII C, the bolts start flying and I immediately get flooding everywhere and don't even have time to get them fixed despite setting all officers to work immediately with as many attached sailors as possible. Within a minute or so I'm at negative boyoncy and the boat sinks extremely fast past 270m. No enemy envolvement.
Really love the sound effects and the new display around near the bilge pump, but that's a bit to harsh for my taste. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Re-downloaded the mod, and according to the settings it should be on "Arcade" by default.

Thanks for the mod, keep up the work

is it possible that i can run this alongside Sounds of War? im going to test it rn

thx. great mod

@Drex: Just dive until there are some leaks (pipes) and fix them. It will make those leaks stronger.
@BruglarBars: Thx, your description really helped to find the issue.

@katamshut Awesome man, glad I could help in anyway and we got it ironed out. Awesome mod adds a such needed feature. Love doing test and getting better haha

how to make test dives? thanks

@katamshut Awesome, you didn't have to but you did it anyway.

Vielen Dank Herr Kaleun!

@BurglarBars: I fixed an issue with air pressure I found which made it impossible to open a hatch. Now the hatches should open (they don't anymore care about air pressure). If you were facing the same issue, this should now work again.

@Retardus: I just was fixing a bug with hatches, so I also added the possibility to disable dispanteling parts. You will find it in you config file after updateing the mod.

@Katamshut Thanks for your response, I don't want you to bother doing all that if I'm the only one.

I already don't use it, but yes, I wanted the action removed because the action shows up through walls in first person view. It's not that big of a deal, but it's a slight annoyance. That's why I wondered if I could just easily disable the entire feature in my game.

@Retardus: It would take me some time to completely make it configurable. I mean, disabling it as feature would be no problem but I guess you want also the dismantling actions being removed from the action wheel? What about just not use it?

Yes, line 37 of PressureHatch.ch describes the amount 1 person can bring up to open a hatch. you can try and set it to 100 as well. But my guess is that your hatch has another problem. The development mode can bring some light into the problem. Let me know the numbers from it.

@BurglarBars: I quickly checked it and tried to reproduce with no luck. Go ahead and activate "development" mode in the yaml file by setting it to true. When you restart the game you can now hover over the hatch and you will get all details about the two compartments the hatch is dividing. Check the value for "ForceDiff" it tells you what forces are applied on the door. It is a number that results from water and air pressure on both sides of the hatch.

I absolutely love this mod, but I'm looking for a way to remove/disable the ability to dismantle equipment for parts.
Looked in the config file but couldn't find an option to disable it there, is there a way to do this without breaking any other parts of the mod?

@katamshut I just tested adjusting auth.Followers.Count also. Other doors work fine, but something bugged out this save with the front torpedo room door after a depth test dive.

@katamshut I seen that in the code, but I tried different roles also some with two assigned and a officer with three but it just got hung even if I fpv tried it. I compressed time below 100 and was still unable to do it. I disabled hatches in config to open it. saved with it open reloaded again with pressurehatches enabled and it went back to being stuck. It was after a dive test to buff rating. I had a leak there prior but I surfaced and couldn't open it. I also tried scraping and replacing door same thing. it was strange. I was looking in the code line 37, I have MaxForceToOpenHatch * 6. Is this the modifer you were refering to as the 3x force? I see the comment above but was unsure.

@katamshut
thanks 👍

@BruglarsBars, it should be possible, I also implemented that if you have sailors with you (add them to the officer) the force to open a hatch goes up as well. Like 2 sailors attached (+ 1 officer) = 3 times the force.

@katamshut
diving times are still very slow. Even with an engineer at the dive planes and several specialised crewmen I'm in the 40s zone or above. Crash dive with a well trained crew should be around 28-30s for the Typ VII and 25s for the Typ II.
I also find small depth changes (1m up or down) around periscope depth impossible to manage. No matter what I do the boat always remains at the preset periscope depth.

@katamshut Just the rebreather for crew is infinite. They always keep 100 and never goes down.

Please help me. I only know how to use a keyboard and a mouse. (I'm a noob in technical matters. I'm not a native speaker. What is "Data Sheet"? Where can I find it and how do I change the presets to realistic? Thank you.

I was at a depth of 595 meters for an hour. And yet I managed to rise to the surface. (This is just fantastic).
Tell me, is it possible to change the presets to a more realistic position?

@grei209ks: it is always a chance that any update mess up something. so let me know if it happens again and again. There may be edge cases like loading while a leak is in repair state or loading another save with a diffrent sub. Let me know if it happens again. thx

@Woof: Yes some parts I have refactored from Salamander (Dismantel Equipment and Hatches), I also read the code about ballast control as this was mentioned here many times. Then there was a "fix" the devs announced to exact this feature with last major update (2025.1). Is it still in a bad shape? I also know that it takes some time to dive but this I guess is realistic? I may can add a customization for how much water / min flood the tanks, that for example will make the boat dive more quickly. Let me know, feel free to use the "Everything else" topic for in depth discussions about that.

Hi @katamshut
Thanks for this great mod.
Since I read you based this on Salamanders work, do you by any chance also plan to adapt something from his Ballast Control mod? Would love to see more realistic diving times and finally a working decks awash mode and the ability to better adjust depth while using the periscope during heavy seas. Best wishes

Thanks for the great mod!
I have "gotten out" from a depth of 280-290 meters several times after leaks formed due to pressure (with about 100 m3 of water in the submarine).
However, after I rose to the surface and performed the necessary repairs, I constantly continue to hear the sound of repairs (although visually the repairs are no longer happening). The only way to get rid of this sound is to reload the saved game.
Could there be a problem with your mod?
Because I also use other mods: crew increaser; more radio; menacing planes and "Device Energy Management".

Not much of a problem, as they are still available in the "popular discussions" section here above the comments, but I figured I would mention as I went to change the config to realistic and saw that. Lovely mod by the way, thanks for your work.

@Angry: What is the question? The rebreather operate longer. Is that the answer you looking for?
@Broseph: Looks like a Steam bug. None of the links work anymore.

The "How to configure" links are dead, and just go to the normal Uboat discussion page.

I love this mod and the popping bolts actually made me jump the first time xD. I do wonder how the rebreather stuff works, do you have to test them somehow?

@OKAWARI: You might were on 500m but the boat was lost I assume. At that depth all leaks will leak and fill the boat instantly with water. Well I can enable the old style of crush like a window saying game over but this I think is even more unrealistic. So I don't see a need to do so. When you tell me what wireless oxygen means I'll have a look.
@Crigger: From the decription: "Since the mod stores how many times you fixed certain leaks, it will use this value to bend the curves further, resulting in leaks appearing in deeper waters. This calculation is done for each leak individually and has limits (you can't fix a leak 100 times and get a 100x bonus). However, the bonus will be stronger on the first few fixes and will lose its effect with repetitive fixes." See: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/workshop/filedetails/discussion/3383792611/604148808450904859/

How does boats readiness work?

I'm running this mod on 24.1 and 25.1, I didn't change the config. But my rebreather has wireless oxygen, which makes it less realistic. I tried changing the config and still can't change it. Also is it possible to set the crush depth? Sometimes I reach 500m and still survive which is very unrealistic.

Thx @Drexack to point this out.

@Bane882266
Iron Coffins is deprecated and also uses a different version of Harmony, that means it will just throw an "could not load" error into the log and that's that.
None of its features will even enter into the game, that's why it can not interfere with anything.

wow this is a super mod thanks for this

Just checked my mod list looks like I left iron coffin enabled by accident above deep leaks (if the order in the mod menu has load order priority.) nothing appears to be breaking and or broken the game seems to be behaving as normal. One thing that used to annoy me was when enabling silent running auxillaries like gyro compass fridge heating will be disabled to reduce noise and conserve power but they wouldn't be turned back on. I assume it's deep leaks that's turning them back on as a polishing of the system. i remember that i am coughing used to have a options menu by interacting at the toolbox but i think that was part of custom actions. I still have custom actions enabled just to be safe just but a number of mods say it isn't needed anymore.

@async: I see there is now a rework released with latest patch. Does this now do what you miss?
@Kraft: Thanks enjoy.
@Bane: That's a good question, not sure if IronCoffins still works. I assume not since the latest update of the mod is years ago. For sure it will conflict in one or the other way since this mod does similar things (I reworked some stuff from Iron Coffins. Can you me which features of Iron Coffins you use and if it still works at all?

Is this mod design to work with iron coffin or as a replacement?
Should I have both enabled or just one?

Fantastic mod! I appreciate the work this mod is great, the sounds are incredible and I love the enhanced flow/repair dynamics

I know it's already been said but it would be great if you could bring some aspects of improved ballast control into this mod. Performing test dives and dealing with leaks in general is really difficult with how useless and broken the ballast controls are. I just sank while doing a test dive because the game decided I didn't need to adjust ballast while at -10% buoyancy. Ballast tanks 95% full, compressed air tanks full, ballast controls say "ballast tanks are empty" and only give an option to flood them.

@katamshut Oops nvm! :P I must have forgot I enabled the yaml file and I must've gotten the two config files mixed up somehow. So I was editing in the xlsx file and the active yaml file was in "Arcade" mode. So that pretty much explains my problem I think lol. Note to self: Double check before posting!

@FatCatDan: Nope, no influence.

Does this mod effect ventilation?
