The Shipyard introduces Submarine customization and progression, which is available in every Outpost.

Submarines

Main article: Submarines


The NPC in charge of selling Submarines wears a Boiler Suit with a submarine icon above them. Their station is the Maintenance bay, easily recognized from all the Submarine Blueprints hanging on the wall.

When interacting with them, an interface similar to the Outpost Terminal appears, showing all available subs for sale, with the fixed price and its class specified, along with the options to either Purchase or Purchase and Switch (This function is identical to the Switch option in the Outpost Terminal).

Improvement

Subs may have their hulls and systems upgraded in a variety of ways to improve durability and effectiveness. These are purchased from the Chief Mechanic at any station, who is usually in the station engineering section with the reactor and the oxygen generator. They can be seen wearing Outpost Dweller's Attire with an Upgrade icon above them.

The Chief Mechanic offers multiple Upgrades per Upgrade category to further improve them, but each additional Upgrade in the same category also costs more than the one before. Thus, more money buys more and nicer things. The Chief Mechanic also offers sub Maintenance services to ensure the safety of the crew on their next trip, provided they can afford such services.

When purchasing and switching to a new submarine, it will only be delivered and available for use once the crew leaves the Outpost. During this period, the Upgrade interface will become inaccessible as the Chief Mechanic isn't able to work on any of the crew's newly purchased subs until they have been delivered.

The pricing of their Upgrades and Maintenance services is dependent on the RP of the current Outpost, specifically 1 RP is equivalent to 0.5% of the price. Therefore, the maximum discount is 50% off at 100 RP, and at -80 RP they will charge 40% extra. Much like Store, the price gets higher beyond -80 RP as the entire Outpost hound for the crew's blood.

Upgrades

There are 13 item categories that can be upgraded, each with one or more upgrades and each upgrade having one or more levels. There are a total of 20 unique upgrades across all parts.
Upgrades can have differing maximum levels, base prices and price increase percentages. Additionally, added in 0.19.7.0, some upgrade levels will require a certain tier or class of submarine.

Purchased upgrade levels are kept when switching to a new submarine. When switching to a submarine using the "Transfer Items" option, all of the items inside the submarine (placed items such as Wiring Components, Small Planter Boxes, Portable Pumps and Makeshift Shelves have to be detached first) will be transferred over to the new submarine. Items will be sorted into containers using Autofill Tags, otherwise they will be dropped on the floor of the Cargo room.

Downgrading to a lower tier sub keeps the ownership of upgrade levels above the allowed maximum for that tier, but restricts the effects of those upgrades to the tier's maximum level.
For example, if a crew is currently using a tier 3 submarine and has the "Enhanced Battery Capacity" upgrade at level 3 (+60% Max Charge), they can switch to a tier 2 submarine, and will still own level 3 of that upgrade, but only have the effects of the level 2 upgrade (+40% Max Charge).
The same applies for switching submarine classes.

Maintenance

Main article: Maintenance


Keeping the sub and its installations in good condition is crucial for the crew's survival when traversing the Europa's ocean. Sub Maintenance can be done manually by anyone, preferably individuals skilled in those aspects, mainly Mechanics.

Manually repairing things can be a tedious and difficult task depending on the structure of a sub and the current state of a sub. The quickest way to maintain a sub is to just stop by an Outpost, spend money in Maintenance services, and get everything repaired automatically instead.

However, things like shuttles (drones) that come with certain subs can't be recovered manually if they get destroyed or the crew happens to lose them along the way. The only way to retrieve the lost shuttle is to replace it for a new one in Maintenance.

There are 2 types of services in Maintenance: Repair and Replace. The repair service is available for purchase once per visit to an Outpost. The repair cost depends on the amount of damage to walls/devices. The cost to repair walls and items is capped at 600 and 2,000 marks respectively. The replace service is only available for subs with built-in shuttles that have lost said shuttles and also only purchasable once per visit to an Outpost.

The price of the services is shown below at 0 RP and maximum cost.

Repair All Items 2,000 mk
