The Engine, Large Engine, and Shuttle Engine are all vital installations that allow the submarine to move horizontally in water.

Function

The engines only work if they receive an input signal. This can be accomplished by connecting the velocity_x_out output of the navigation terminal to the set_force input of the engine.

There are three types of engines in the game, the large engine, engine, and shuttle engine. The large engine is by far the fastest of the bunch but is very power hungry, take a whole 4000kW to power the beast. The regular engine is smaller than the large engine and produces somewhat less thrust, but only requires 2000kW to power it. Lastly, the shuttle engine produces the same thrust as the regular engine, but is smaller and only requires 500kW to power it.

While full-sized engines can quickly succumb to water damage, shuttle engines are 100% waterproof, and do not deteriorate while submerged by water.

When the set_force input of an engine is disconnected, it is possible manually control the engine's thrust with the slider in the engine's GUI interface, from -100% (full reverse) to 100% (full forward).

Engines deteriorate proportionally to their current force percentage.

power_in set_force Connecting a power source to this input will supply the engine with power. Sets Engine force to the received value. condition_out Outputs the Engine's current condition. (0-100)
Requires: Screwdriver

Damage values

The propellers deal damage to creatures touching them while the sub is moving.

Item	Range	Afflictions on Hit	Kinetic Force	Sever Limbs
Touching an Engine's moving propellers	0.6	Internal Damage (5)* Bleeding (10)*	500	100%
Touching a Large Engine's moving propellers	1.0	Internal Damage (5)* Bleeding (10)*	500	100%
Touching a Shuttle Engine's moving propellers	0.3	Internal Damage (5)* Bleeding (10)*	500	100%

Item	Afflictions on Hit	Kinetic Force	Explosion Radius (m)	Explosion Force
Unsuccessful Repair (all engine types)	Burn (5)* Stun (4)*	5	1.0	100

Trivia

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