Starting Balance

[Vilian0Vic]

Hello folks,
just a quick question about the starting balance. When I set up a campaign and the balance, it says that it determines what starting subs are available. However, I can pick any sub I want, no matter how expensive, and will be left with a minimum of 500 mk. Is this a bug or oversight? I remember only being able to start with the Dugong or the Humpback because everything else cost too much.

If you play campaign on MP server, you can basically pick any submarine you want, no matter how many it costs, and even if you are runnig out of money, the game adds you an additional 500 for whatever you need.

Thanks for clearing that up. Since I've only ever played MP - and as I said, it used to be different even in MP - I didn't know the cost restrictions only apply to SP now.

For anyone still wondering. go to Barotrauma game folder, go to Data, edit Campaignsettings.xml with the Notepad, then you'll see

<CampaignSettingDefinitions>
<StartingBalanceAmount high="10000" medium="8500" low="6000" />

put whatever you want and when you'll choose medium for example, you'll get the amount you modfied it too,

Basically works with anything else determined on the start screen btw; I used to remove security thief checks there before devs self added the option to turn it off.
