The Navigation Terminal is an installation in Barotrauma. It is an essential installation in any submarine, as it allows the crew to steer the submarine.

Usage

Using the Navigation Terminal will show its GUI, it displays an outline of the submarine and a reticle to steer the submarine. At an outpost, it can be upgraded to include a Mineral Scanner on Non-Attack Submarines.

The Sonar can either be passive or active:

• While active the submarine will send a sonar ping in a 360 degree arc, anything it bounces off will be displayed on the GUI. Unchanged, it has the radius of 100 meters.
  • Another option while active is Directional Ping, if enabled the submarine will send sonar pings in 30 degree arcs in the selected direction instead.
• While passive the submarine scans for sound signatures. They can be generated by the submarine itself (nuclear reactor, engines, weapons) or underwater Creatures. These sound signatures will bounce off of their surroundings and are displayed on the GUI. The range of passive sonar depends on how loud the submarine is.

Velocity Y

The navigation terminal outputs a decimal from -100 to 100. The neutral ballast level output will change depending upon the size of the ballast relative to the whole ship. From that neutral value the output is linearly scaled as the input changes from 0 to ± 100

E.g. The Orca's neutral ballast level creates a y_velocity_out of about -15 (rounded for simplicity). A negative y input value will use the formula: -15 + Input_Value*85/100, as the difference between -15 and -100 is 85. A positive y input value will use the formula: -15 + Input_Value*115/100, as the difference between -15 and +100 is 115.

Connecting the ballast pumps to this output will allow the Navigation Terminal to control the how much the ballast is filled, allowing the submarine to move vertically. This outputs -100 to 100 (adjusted by the neutral ballast value). Outputs a signal when the custom button is pressed on the Navigation Terminal GUI.

Outputs a signal when the docking button is pressed on the Navigation Terminal GUI. Outputs the current horizontal velocity. Outputs the current vertical velocity. Outputs the current horizontal position. Outputs the current vertical position. Outputs the Navigation Terminal's current condition. (0-100)
