@som0307 use the winches to hold the net forward,

go as slow as you can when emptying nets

when i release the fish they fly off the stern :(

My friend and I had just started conquering the seas, but after 4 hours we got tired of saving morons and decided to become fishermen. We sold the government boat, bought this divine boat (we call it "Пенгу"), sailed for 3 game days to the fishing spot and drowned. We haven't laughed so hard for a long time, thanks to the mod developer

good name

Pingu Was A german minelayer in WW2

THE GUY

Задумка неплохая. но с такой скоростью ты рыбу не поймаешь. только хуи резиновые

Nug nug!!

ah right, thats just how the nets are in game, blanket fishing the whole way

I mean it works it just doesn't look like the typical sort of bucket shape of a trawling net.

@End_Of_Track
if i understand correctly:
instructions above are to stow the net safely so you can dock/move off

to fish only the cables on the boom need to be connected, deck winches can be stowed.
swing boom all the way back
lower net
make sure "retract" nets button is not pressed so net expands
make sure "catch release" switch is not not flipped

net should always look like a net lol

i will update description with clear instructions on setting her up to fish but hope this helps

On another note, I am using this thing right? I followed the instructions but when I put the net in the water it just looks like a giant cloth, not a net. It also doesn't seem to be filling at all. Is this intentional or should it always be attached to the deck winches?

Penguin

best trawler ive seen

Please I beg of you to keep making fishing trawlers, This is a very hands on and fun trawler, not to mention the best one, You should make a line of trawlers that go up in cost but also in upgrades. I would love to see you make another one.

@serpienteRecia thanks bud, made my day reading that! I put a lot of work into this wee boat so im glad she's getting some good use.
Totally agree about your notes on weather, for her main test run i went to the arctic and back fishing and with a 250kg crate on the sliding track, through some 70% winds. Didnt sink but i dont reccomend it lol.
she's too small and in the huge swells just gets tossed about like a cork.

anyway, happy fishing everyone!

the name reminds me of the show with pingu

Sounds like a Greenlandic name Pingu :)

Hello, I can attest to the boat's reliability. As long as you stay strapped to the ship, hatches locked and bilge pumps running in case you or your buddy accidentally open one of the aforementioned, you can safely rough storms. I still would recomend avoiding the worst storms though.

A buddy and I have eyeballed the range to be almost, if not, 200 Km this was on cruise gear and scarcelly running bilge and gen. Never had any issue with the nets that couldn't be resolved in a sec by pulling hard enough.

In response to what the author said just below, I believe it'd be best to keep this version affordable and make a new one with greater improvements, either to its systems, its hull or its capabilities. This is just my modest opinion.

Definitely my favourite vanilla trawler nowadays.

as it happens im off work today so yeah i will manage to fix anything that breaks quickly hopefully.

more long term i'd like to include some pots, new fish finder etc, but whether that makes it into this version or the pending upgraded pingu verion will depend on cost

Will this be updated on wednesday for the new update?

its for all the pingus, pengus, penguins, tiny butlers and just anyone that enjoys fish

is for me?

penguino

I approve.

@brockkids its entirely appropriate :)

sorry i had to

NOOT NOOT

hmm ok pushed an update:

increased charge rate

added elec charge point

can't afford another battery and still be on budget :(

i plan to make an few upgrades now i've made some money fishing, i'll publish the delux version seperately once its done. this boat is rather limited by needing to be less than 20,000 and theres a few things (fish finders, cold weather gear etc) it doesn't start with.

@ SerpienteRecia your feedback is welcome mate, no worries :)
as a rule i just ran genny all time when engine running and minimised power usage at night
i think you raise a good point though, the elec power balance is a bit harsh, going to increase power output of genny and add a elec charge point. thanks!

Yeah, the matter was that it appeared to charge very slowly, and I thought something was up. Now that I know it's just really slow, Could you tell us how you'd go about charging it up?. Because standard nightime operation drains it up fast and it doesn't appear to have a plug to charge the ship up once moored. Thank you for your time and if anything I've said comes across as bitchy, it wasn't my intention.

battery charge is now expressed as a percentage (0-100) as opposed to 0-1.
its slow but it works!

@serpienteRecia, if i understand correctly i think the issue is battery charge will show from 0-1 but gauge goes from 0-100, thanks for pointing that out, i'll go check and hopefully fix

I quite like the ship and I love the idea of it being a starter/affordable ship. I want to ask about the charger, so far it has recharged 1% of the battery during a whole day. Is there something I'm missing?

Good ship, i like it

Amazing work, bro.
