Ship Sinking

[20spike12]

I am trying many different things but my ship just sinks its made of metal and i got air pumps in it.

That could be caused by lots of things...

maybe you need more floatation power, try to add more floatation chambers

[sintri]

One air pump per chamber, more than one can get wonkey, and if that one blows up let's be real, you probably have a hole in that chamber so any backup ones wouldn't be of any help anyways. Heavy metal requires far more bouyancy to offset than normal metal, but there shouldn't be any reason you'd have difficulty keeping metal afloat unless you're using way too many layers.

Balance out your metal with light alloy. Also use downwards props with a pid. Or dedi-blades. There are a lot of options. I usually go with a composite hull of alloy and metal, along with props to support the ship.

how does a pid work

[PogFrog]

you can place down a pid anywhere and set it to maintain altitude if you have propellers at the bottom of your ship.
