How far into the campaign are you guys, or does it not really matter? The thought of joining a fresh campaign where we slowly kit out our submarine would be fun to join, but hopping in on a fully decked out sub doesn't have the same appeal.

The thought of joining a fresh campaign where we slowly kit out our submarine would be fun to join, but hopping in on a fully decked out sub doesn't have the same appeal. We haven't actually gotten any further than the first three-ish cities and the most dangerous thing we've encountered (and it was for a mission) has been a hammerhead. A single hammerhead, that instantly penetrated the bottom of our sub before getting railgunned. So not very far at all! It does matter how deep you go, which is where the more dangerous stuff starts to appear and frankly even the basic stuff causes us issues sometimes still cause poo poo can get overwhelming real quick. The important thing to note in campaign is while you can upgrade the sub you're in (better efficiency for various systems, tougher hull, etc), you can't actually modify them in any way to add new systems or stations. Instead, you can buy an entirely different sub from a list that get very expensive and can be much larger. They require a bigger crew to man comfortably, and of course each sub requires its own separate upgrades. The big thing is to try and find a sub you're comfortable with and then start upgrading the hull so it can dive deeper towards the core. Basically just hop in and see how it goes! Learning the basics ain't too bad, don't be scared to get your feet wet.

I don't feel like the upgrades we have are so far really groundbreaking either. But we did spend a lot or mk. on a space submarine big rig that no one wants to play because turns out it's only good for transport, salvage and mining and has only one gun in a bad ish spot.

Don't worry about shifting starting times around, I'm busy for the next couple of weeks anyway with job interviewing and exam taking.

Our campaign on the co-op goons discord is till pretty much in the beginning stages, slowly moving into more difficult waters now. So if you want to join but not have a trial by fire, you're good to go with us. I throw out role alerts a few hours beforehand whenever I feel like playing and any one else is welcome to do so as well, of course.

Haven't played for a bit, but I'm pretty keen on hopping back in sometime soon. Just noticed at some point I left the co-op server, so I'll hop back in and grab the role and check it out.

Bit late but just wanted to post that the Barotrauma just got a big-ish new update! Creepier caves! Stacking items! Sub upgrades persist when swapping in campaign! Sweet new item graphics! You can sleep in beds and it actually does something! A metric boatload of bug fixes! Here's the full patch notes if you're interested in checking it yourself. We're starting up a new campaign on a custom scout sub made by Damone if any new players want to join in, don't be shy! Feel free to join the co-op goon server, once you authenticate you can type !lfb to get the role and get pinged when we do game calls.

And the custom sub can be downloaded in game when you join the server, so it's just a vanilla game. We haven't even hit 20%+ depths yet so we don't even know how crazy it can get in the deepest parts.

Pardon the double post but if you were ever interested in trying out Barotrauma but didn't want to drop the money on it, guess what? Barotrauma is free to play for 48 hours starting today! Ends on Thursday March 25th at 1:30pm EDT. Grab some friends or join goons and give the submarine life a try!

The game is great, especially if you find a server where people are just the right amount of high/unhinged to perfectly mesh with how serious you feel like playing that day, leaving you with a sub-story to remember and share. I also love how you can join modded games and subs on a whim because the game will auto-subscribe and enable them as needed. 100% recommend.

How the gently caress do I manually control the reactor without it exploding In a Dugong, for reference

Gort posted:How the gently caress do I manually control the reactor without it exploding Generally speaking unless you're in a high power draw combat situation you don't need to manually control it. If you have 30+ electrical skill you can just slap it on automatic and it'll be just fine, anything lower than that and the auto control will struggle a bit to regulate power with just a single Uranium Rod. It is also incredibly important to mention you hardly ever need or want any more than one fuel rod in the reactor. Some of the bigger subs need two rods for adequate power in normal and high stress situations though. Never put two Fulgarium Rods into a reactor unless you wanted to send it into meltdown immediately no matter what you do. In terms of actual manual control. Generally you manipulate the slider under the left gauge until the needle is just slightly into the green part of the meter, then actively fiddle with the slider under the right gauge to keep the needle in the green zone on that side. Keep an eye on the heat meter on the far right and if that starts constantly blaring an alarm at you you need to move the slider under the left meter back to the left until it stops generating too much heat. But really, you will hardly ever need to manually control the reactor. The person with the highest electrical skill should be one the to set the reactor to auto.

in my experience of playing many hours almost exclusively as engineer, the only real legitimate thing you might bother trying to get good at doing with the reactor: you can start it up and get it to full power slightly faster than automatic can by manually controlling it. sometimes the extra time might save you from scraping the bottom or help your captain execute something. more often than not tho for most voyages, touching the reactor is best left to fools or saboteurs if you regularly play a game/games where you have significant scarcity of fuel etc, you can manually sit there and micromanage better and youll theoretically be able to prevent brownouts and be more fuel efficient. idk that its almost ever worth it compared to doing other tasks on the ship. otoh we usually run with max of 5 people, so if you had a bigger crew

For those interested in campaign mode, this Barotrauma save decompressor may be of interest. I've used it to hack in hull upgrades to save a death loop after swapping to an underequipped sub mid campaign, and I've even used it to modify a sub mid-campaign! The save state of each sub you own is a deep copy of the file used in the sub editor, so you can pop the sub file of interest into the sub editor directory, make your edits there and save them, then put it back into your save file and compress it back. Neat stuff.

lol I wish I still had my video of me successfully putting out this massive fire in a reactor room from a hole I cut in the ceiling. But, just before I've got it all, a monster smacks the boat which launches me headfirst into the flames and my oxygen explodes mid-scream.

I have nearly completed a submarine designed for a Role-Play - mining/salvage/transport/hijacking pirate sub campaign. I run with a few mods that add fun items and allow for some cooler ship building freedoms, as well as more content to salvage and fight. I'm looking for some people to test the sub with before I put the final touches on. My friends have been instrumental in helping with this but it helps to have people that aren't already used to my design conventions take a look at it. Also eventually when I start the campaign I could use some crew that is interested in going around and salvaging and crafting and whatnot. Combat and fuckery as well, of course. The ship is designed to accommodate both the mission role and goofing off pretty well. It has 3 shuttles. One totally unmanned for assisting in combat, one as an escape pod that will most likely kill its inhabitants, and the other is a tiny little cargo hauler UAV that is remote controlled but, and i tested to make sure, you can absolutely stuff a person in there for a free ride to and from a salvage site. Barely. I think you have to hold spacebar to fit inside but it works. The mods I have allow us to modify the ship decently well during the middle of a campaign to address any needs too, all via in game crafting or vendors. The ship is pretty tightly woven but I've made sure there are a couple of modular spaces for people to make our own as needs develop. Best way to hit me up is discord probably, #SHART4991. I do have PMs and this thread is bookmarked as well, altho I do not usually notice PMs for awhile. I think the ship caters to all play styles tbh. If you love the idea of salvage but hate leaving the submarine, staying on the submarine and remote controlling the cargo salvage UAV thing is gonna be hugely helpful and necessary. If you like sorting inventory for some reason, a trusted quartermaster that knew how to use a welder would be a dream come true... E; you can honestly just come and play the harmonica and tell stories as long as you dont blow up the drat ship Worf fucked around with this message at 22:05 on Jul 9, 2021 |

Big new update dropped, revamped alien ruins and added a TON of features, including talent trees for every job and a genetics system ala SS13. You can, for instance, have mudraptor beak on your face that allows you to peck others. It is comedy gold. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/783396199344373811/906673528001159209/I_heard_violence.mp4 Every major update keeps adding more and more cool poo poo to this game, it's getting kind of nuts.
