What propeller size to use

[Astro]

I am quite new to the game had it for a bit but didn't play and I have no idea what propellers to use on ships

[nooamilo]

medium is good or small depends on boat

It depends on the size of the ship and its role.

Prop size depends on your engine, mass, and drive train. If your prop is too small, you'll notice that even though it's moving FAST it won't move the boat much. If you can't get the prop spinning fast then either you don't have the power to run it or your gearing is wrong. My advice, stick with the small prop while you experiment with your drive train and engine. You'll know it's time to up your prop size when you can't increase your top speed by increasing power or optimizing gearing.

Thanks man also can I check my boat weight or not?

mass it shows up when you hover over the spawn button along with creation cost

common sense prevails here. The bigger the creation, the bigger the propeller.

Use the one that looks like the correct size for your build and its probably good.

"Common sense" is a phrase from yesteryear that no longer is valid as there isn't anything "common" about it in modern times as bad it is to say it as its so rare . /rant

The thing is I don't really know what physics are in stormworks they could be completely different from what I think I just need to play the game more

maybe it ain't so common for you. The rest of the world is bringing it back. Critical thinking takes practice, but it can be done.
