Submarine

[NoQuitting]

Every world spawns with a broken down submarine which needs to be repaired.

1000 health (spawns with 0 health and has a special broken down look until repaired)

10 speed above water, 9 speed below water

6 inventory slots, infinite light (like Buoy), invisible when underwater but reduces sanity -2/min (acts like a mobile bush hat)

when submarine health reaches 0 it causes -2/min sanity and -1/min health because it is a broken down dangerous submarine.

To repair it a submarine repair kit must be created using an iron wind, 6 bioluminesence, 6 empty bottles. It works 3 times like the boat repair kit but instead repairs 100% of the submarine. Above the waves the submarine always takes damage regardless of direction (no riding waves) but underwater it passes right under waves.

I see art, I like... just that... :3

Now about the idea of a submarine... would you please expand on the details? Sure, while underwater, it acts like a bush hat... so... how big will it be, will we get to see underwater and if so, will they have to create or integrate mechanics like in Creeps of the Deeps Mod? (that was kinda sunk when SW kicked in but I don't think they're mad though :3)

I think end-game boats should be a thing anyway. Stuff that would spawn randomly and would need to be repaired, like a galleon or a brig with a massive ram.

Maybe we could have the blueprints for these ships as very rare drops from treasure chests, like with Black Flag and elite ship upgrades. The crafting recipe would be inaccessible with the brain of thought though...

Great idea - we need some good & more durable middle/ end game boat.

I have visions of submarine breaking whilst underwater and everyone drowning... maybe every full moon the submarine is full of ghosts of the people who died in it. Also if you don't surface before submarine breaks you die and drown too. Okay this post got dark fast... um puppies and flowers upon you all.

This seems like it would be a bit too OP, and would need a bit of balance. It's a nice idea for a mod though!

Could you tell me more about the black flag/elite ship upgrades? I'm assuming this might have something to do with the boat I found in one of my early playthroughs with a beautiful black sail. I figured it would be something I could craft later but I haven't found anything like it since, neither in game or by trying to find it online. At this point I'm starting to wonder if I imagined my beautiful black pearl...

Elite ship upgrades in black flag require a special plan to be crafted. Depending on the specific upgrade, the plans can be found in buried treasure chests (which you must find the location of based on a treasure map) and in sunken chests underwater shipwrecks.

Most of the elite combat-orientated upgrades are found in shipwrecks, and most of the cosmetic-only elite items are found in buried treasure chests.

There's no real restriction as to when you can get the plans. You can look for buried treasure as soon as you have a boat and gotten a map from a cadaver, although you will need the diving bell to access shipwrecks and for that you need to have progressed enough in the story.

It's quite an interesting system in my opinion, and could be used in Don't Starve in the future.

Black flag is a great game by the way; play it all the way through if you haven't already. You won't regret it!
