Switch submarine and sell the old one.

[umbral tide]

Why bother with a submarine you can no longer use? Those extra few bucks come in handy better than grind 20k again each.

[narrow steppe]

you can hire more crew to crew those submarines and create a submarine corporation empire.

you cant though but its a nice thought.

[cyan sandal]

That would be cool

Metal gear solid peace walker allowed you to send out your soldiers and vehicles on missions and it would use statistics to determine if they win lose and what you get

Would be cool if we could assign npcs to subs and give them a budget which improves success rate

This way we don’t need to worry about stocking the sub with fuel, ammo and other stuff

Then when it’s finished you get the npcs back and they might be injured and stuff or some die or worse if the sub is lost you lose all of them and get an insurance payout for the lost sub

[candid musk]

I don't think we need that extra money, considering the base game's balance, but being able to freely switch between submarines you own also makes no sense. Who's delivering that submarine to us, which we switched away from four map nodes ago?

[royal delta]

it followed the main sub slightly behind and out of view

like a puppy that wants to say hi but is also too scared to be seen

[unborn canopy]

The coalition is delivering submarines.

[visual bramble]

The ability to switch back subs is because in theory you can switch between them for whats most optimal at the time

In reality though moving everything is too cumbersome

I know mods arent a replacement for core feature suggestions, but just in case you fancied this in your campaign rn - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3291935932 there's a mod

[fallow isle]

I think upgrade prices could go up to balance. There's no point in the current game maintaining a 'fleet'.

[celest mountain]

I feel the ability to sell submarines is simply just a bandaid to the game needing more biome variety and differentiation

let's go harder on the "We can use this submarine over the other" for this situation

[visual bramble]

Fundamentally fucked in campaign due to how the inventory system of this game works

Nobody wants to spring clean constantly

[celest mountain]

Hmm I suppose

Maybe in the far future contextual commands will let us override the sub builder's pre-defined storages

I know AI bots can do clean up but 90% of the time, but actually asking for feedback on where stuff ought to be goes absolutely nowhere when testing custom subs

I reckon until we can properly tell bots where stuff ought to go according to (my) preferences it'll always be a problem

[visual bramble]

I dont think its ever gonna happen

I think the only way this works is if the game u-turns the inventory system to a much more limited one

As right now you can just place anything anywhere

And that bites you in the ass with sub switching

[celest mountain]

I feel you might be exaggerating a bit, you can comms where stuff ought to be and everyone actively contributing small amounts to keeping stuff organized

but yeah sub switching would be a big thing to consider

hmm since we have the mechanic on outposts see an overview and highlight where turrets, batteries, hulls, pumps are

what if we had a seperate screen for lockers and cabinets instead?

and could drag and drop items when we change subs to each inventory space

Not even sure if the base code can do anything like that

but I've been surprised with the shit mods get away with ... so maybe?

[visual bramble]

Its possible but even that is a lot of setup I feel

It would speed up spring cleaning

but spring cleaning would still be a thing

and thats the problem

[celest mountain]

spring cleaning is fine if sub switching lets you already place stuff about

it's just an inherent mechanic with the mass items that the game has rn

Might make transport subs with lots of crate item storage more attractive idk

[fallow isle]

would be nice if you could switch storage cab tags in-game (pre-defined ones or create custom ones with set items)

Lua?

[fallow isle]

Needs C# which is now bundled with Lua for Barotrauma

[flat jewel]

Honestly this would go hard as fuck

Having a menu to be able to select where you want things moved instead of everything being dropped in a bunch of fucking crates in the stowage would be very very very helpful

Personally I avoid switching subs because of how big of a pain in the ass it is

I don’t see why it couldn’t be done

It seems pretty simple

Though I know absolutely nothing about xml so

[cloud hamlet]

Boss we ran out of GMP

[pearl barn]

I would love an option to also remove all components from old subs. I play Engineer and spend ages removing everything!

[cyan sandal]

In multiplayer it’s easy

Give each crew member a plasma cutter and tell them anything they strip from the old sub they can keep or sell
