Piloting Custom Boats and Navigating Submersibles

Sailing on the Surface

In addition to underwater diving, the mod includes boat mechanics that let you build and pilot surface ships.

1. Assemble your custom boat or leave your submarine floating on the ocean surface.

2. Take control of the vehicle to steer across the water using smooth, physics-based movement supported by the Sable physics engine.

3. Use surface travel to navigate to your chosen diving site, scouting ocean biomes without burning through critical dive resources.

Diving and Deep-Sea Navigation

Once you arrive at your destination, transition your submarine from surface floating to full underwater navigation.

1. Engage your vehicle controls to submerge beneath the surface waves.

2. Watch out the submarine's glass windows to steer through dense kelp forests and around underwater obstacles.

3. Use exterior glowing lights to illuminate the pitch-black depths of the deep ocean, allowing you to maintain orientation and avoid crashing into the seafloor while the physics engine manages vessel handling.
