austere acorn
This mod has been out for a few weeks, but I figured that Discord would be much easier for any discussion or feedback of any potential users! Thanks for your time.
All the vanilla submarines but with multiple quality of life changes, additions and mild structural changes; adding a bit of workshop spice to the vanilla experience while attempting to stay balanced.
Please follow the link below to the workshop mod to see animated gifs of each feature and more details!

This mod makes the following changes and includes the following workshop mods:
-
Smartdoor for automatic doors that close and require a button press in the event of a hull breach.
-
A modified version of Smart Hatches, including a discreet set-and-forget switch to toggle between automatic or manual door operation on a per hatch basis. Set the light to green for automatic hatches, or red for vanilla-like manual hatches. Both will close and require a click in the event of fire or hull breaches.
-
A modified Ultra Optimized Perfect Airlock that was hand placed for each individual sub and uses two pumps alongside duct blocks for quick pressurization to and from the subs.
-
The UFO Support Drone attached to every sub. This is a balanced and fun drone that doesn't have any weapons, but can give the captain something to do while the away team works and it's great at scouting caves. Gets destroyed pretty easily, but can be repaired with a welding tool.
-
The Wi-Fi monitor assemblies from Wifi Camera. They are best used alongside the wifi cameras mod so that you can watch your away team through camera helmets, but the monitors easily work with any wifi device for CCTV purposes.
-
Color coded reactor fuel percentages added to the reactor's "screen" for every submarine.
-
Metrics to the captain's terminal and other monitors on larger ships, also color coded at certain percentages/depths.
-
A modified FDF-Chopper Shuttle that can be driven manually or with wi-fi, currently attached only to the Kastrull.
-
Gun positions remained the same, but gun periscope positions were moved for better quality of life and labeling of where each turret is located.
-
Better lighting in general and most subs without fabricators/deconstructors/medfabs had them added and linked to the appropriate storage.
-
Subs that did not have a top/bottom airlock were given one when it was feasible, all subs with bottom airlocks were given docking hatches attached to the main sonar for docking to beacon stations, etc.
-
Because of the extra additions, the price of each Alpha sub has been increased by 3000mks from its vanilla counterpart.
Thanks for checking out the mod, and have fun! Please do let me know if you run into any issues or errors. If you enjoyed the workshop mod additions to the submarines please also follow the links and give those mod creators some love as well!
