The Engine and its lesser counterpart, the Shuttle Engine, are vital installations that allow the submarine to move in water.
Function
The engines only work if they receive a signal. This can be accomplished by connecting the velocity_x_out
output of the navigation terminal to the set_force
input of the engine.
While full-sized engines can quickly succumb to water damage, shuttle engines are totally waterproof. A Mechanic is able to fix either by using a welding tool and wrench.
When the set_force
of an engine is unwired, it is possible to use the plus and minus buttons on the engine's GUI interface to set its force manually (at an increment of 1% force per click).

Trivia
- It is also possible, to connect the
velocity_y_out
output of the navigation terminal to theset_force
input of the engine to steer submarine, but the controls will be inverted when steering the submarine (vertical control will become horizontal).
