How to Control Ship Buoyancy and Stop Safely

Adjusting Ship Weight with Tank Ballasts

Managing your vehicle's weight is essential when building complex vessels. The Create Kinetic Mod includes tank ballasts that you can fill with water to make your ship heavier or lighter. By adjusting the water levels inside these ballasts, you can easily control your ship's vertical positioning and overall buoyancy in combination with your vertical rudders and buoys.

Dropping Anchors for Quick Stops

When you need to halt your vessel immediately, cutting power or sails might not be enough. Instead, you can drop heavy anchors powered by redstone to stop your ship fast. When you are ready to get moving again, disengage the redstone power. For ground vehicles, you can also build working tank treads that you can dye any color to drive your creations across land smoothly.
