ship full of water?!

[RadTheLad]

for some reaseon when i build ships, even if theyre fully closed they are filled wih water. help please ;-;

[Masterofgaming22]

use an air pump, found in the water tab. it'll pump the water right out

Add an air pump.
If you have compartments, put one in each compartment (or a few in belowdecks if you have no compartments)
Even boats with no below-decks need an air pump to keep water out, regardless of how sealed they are

[RadTheLad]

ok thx, i used one however yet it was wtill almost full of water. do i need a pipe of some sort to pump the water out?

[An Ning]

No.
You may need more than one depending on the ship's size.
After putting the pump in you may still see the "ghost line" of the waterline regardless.

[RadTheLad]

thats the wierd part, i dont see the line anymore, but i do see bubbles

Check the air pump, and see if it says any leaks detected.

I occasionally find I have to restart the vehicle designer to get the ship to balance out after adding an air pump.

Same, but it worked afterwards :)

Radicator, there are a few things that require designer restart, especially when balancing aircraft out, so its worth doing regularly!
