I would recommend this to starters because all you need is water to run the thing. REALLY beginner friendly. Heck it even can hold cargo and you don't even need to worry about power much!

love the mod but the reactor heating ruins it

I really like the vehicle it is probably my favourite creation in stormworks the only downside is that it is not weaponised I tried to make a attachment for weapons but I could not figure it out can you make a YouTube tutorial on the attachment template

kiernanaiello2011, glad you're enjoying it though!
Celthios  [author] Nov 27 @ 6:12pm 
kiernanaiello2011, yeah I tried that at one point. It didn't seem to make a meaningful time difference. I did several different configurations and changes to the setup and timed each one so, not sure if it's something I've done wrong, or if it just doesn't matter.

And to help speed up the reactor maybe put heaters around it i would do it myself but idk how.

this is a great vehicle 10/10 takes a little longer to power up the reactor but its not a big problem :steamthumbsup:

alright, thank you
Celthios  [author] Aug 21 @ 6:35pm 
KillerWillBlanc_, you use flight mode to fly there, moon mode is for helping you hover/land on the moon. Be warned, I've heard reports that a fair number of people have game crashes when nearing the moon, I haven't been able to figure out why to resolve it. Also, moon mode isn't the most refined mode so it may take a couple attempts to land. I'm hoping to work on it more, but I haven't gotten an updated version to the point where I want to release it just yet.
KillerWillBlanc_ Aug 20 @ 6:54pm 
can you even get to the moon at all?
KillerWillBlanc_ Aug 20 @ 6:15pm 
Do I need to get to the moon using the flight or moon mode? The moon mode seems strange.
KillerWillBlanc_ Aug 20 @ 5:58pm 
how does the moon mode works?

JabbatheJuan, glad you're enjoying it. I will likely get around to some form of weapon attachment eventually. There's already a lot going on in the base ship, so I'm not sure if weapons outside of an attachment is in the cards.
Celthios  [author] Aug 17 @ 9:11am 
Floppa_FromFedEx12, it takes a couple to a few minutes for the boiler to heat up. If you're not playing with infinite resources, you'll want to make sure you have the required resources to spawn the fuel rods for the reactor. If you don't have the uranium to spawn the fuel rods, it will never heat up.
JabbatheJuan Aug 16 @ 2:14pm 
Mate this is awesome build curious if your going to make a military based one?
whoknows Aug 15 @ 1:28pm 
i can never get it to start up, i mean it starts up but when i click flight and pull the throttle to one it doesnt work, am i just doing something wrong?
Celthios  [author] Jul 31 @ 4:06pm 
Nick Marcos, not normal. Never seen that before.
Nick Marcos Jul 30 @ 9:48pm 
Is it normal for every display to be yellow? It only happened to me when I spawned in at Dreimor

kingtolight, probably most useful to post a bug report to the geometa site with a .zip of the save file. From what I can tell only the devs will have the key to read and get any good information out of the crash logs.
kingtolight Jul 26 @ 2:33pm 
Hi, I got a save immediately prior to experiencing the crashing issue while trying to get it over to the moon.
Any time I load the save it immediately geometa crashes :o
I'd be happy to provide the save file to who might be able to help.

kongolav2, thanks. I am glad you're enjoying it!
kongolav2 Jul 8 @ 2:05am 
this is soo impressive its a boat and a sub and a space ship and a vtol i like everything about it good job :steamthumbsup:
Celthios  [author] Jun 14 @ 9:43am 
kingtolight, glad you're enjoying it. That means a lot!
kingtolight Jun 13 @ 12:37pm 
I really love this creation!! I really hope there's a way to resolve the crash issue in time, outside of that I can't imagine how this could be better. Thanks!

christophlenert, glad you're enjoying it! I think it is 54 ingots, 9 per fuel rod, with six rods in the reactor. Hope that helps.
christophlenert May 24 @ 8:32pm 
Hi Celthios. I super much love your way cool Kingfisher Vehicle, especially since it can hover like a helicopter, fly fast like a plane , can drive on water like a yacht and even dive ! Love it ! I was wondering how much uranium ingots will i need to build the Kingfisher in Career mode ?
ꪶꪮꪖᦔ꠸ꪀᧁ May 14 @ 3:51am 
i made some changes, but the best one is the pre-heat procedure for water in the tank.

Unbentzero70, You can add waypoints by using the touch screen to plot a course, or you can enter a way point by putting it in the keyboard on the left, and hitting the button on the right (near map) to add via waypoint from keyboard. Once you have done that and you are in either flight or yacht mode, you can tap the "nav" button on the right hand 1x1 monitor and it should navigate you automatically. If you are in flight mode it will enter hover once you hit your last waypoint. Hope that helps.

kockasajt32, perhaps someday, when I am unemployed again lol.
Unbentzero70 May 6 @ 12:13pm 
how exactly do i operate the autopilot in flight mode
kockasajt32 Apr 24 @ 1:48pm 
MAKE MORE!!!!pls:,(
Celthios  [author] Apr 8 @ 8:42pm 
Lemon, hope you figured it out. If you're on the ground you need to enter hover (3) to get out of the hanger. If you're in the water, you have to give it some throttle for yacht mode (2) and use w/s.
Lemon Apr 5 @ 6:55pm 
How do you accelerate :steamsad:
Lemon Apr 5 @ 6:43pm 
Never mind, I just had to wait a little longer.
Lemon Apr 5 @ 6:41pm 
The reactor gets up to 214 then keeps going down after that, so I can't do anything with it?
Str1key Mar 15 @ 11:27am 
oh lol, sorry, now i found them, thanks
Celthios  [author] Mar 15 @ 8:41am 
Str1key, there are buttons/switches overhead if you look up when you are sitting in the seat. Hope that helps.
Str1key Mar 14 @ 5:11am 
How do I activate the lights?
Celthios  [author] Feb 28 @ 7:44pm 
catcraft346, also, just me and my friend, Trynaeat. I did all of the Stormworks related stuff to build the ship and he coded the screens and did basically everything in the github repo listed above.
Celthios  [author] Feb 28 @ 7:34pm 
catcraft346, there's some discount in here for just learning the game since this is my only creation, but it's probably about 2,000 hours or so. It kind of took that long mostly because I was just following whatever whim I had at the time and didn't have a cohesive idea of what I wanted for the ship for a long time. Overall, it's closer to 3k, but I'd say 2k for when I actually had more of a total design concept together in my head. Again, most of that time was just figuring out the game and the things I was trying to do because I sucked. If I had to do it over I could certainly do it much faster.

DukeOfCheese, the 890 jump is definitely an inspiration for sure. I don't play Star Citizen, but I like the ships :)
Zantic Feb 28 @ 1:53pm 
this has to be the most advanced creations in stormworks and im genuinly courious how long it took to make and how many people worked on this.
very very nice creation
DukeOfCheese Feb 27 @ 6:56pm 
I'm getting serious 890 Jump vibes.
Phillie_Glizzie Feb 13 @ 3:58am 
Ok
Celthios  [author] Feb 9 @ 4:59pm 
mike, it's a percentage 0-100 of the total output of the generator. If you got it to 0 it means something is wrong with the generator or the reactor, or it means you are demanding too much rps from the flywheel/pistons and it can't do whatever you are asking it to on top of spinning the generator.
Flopper Feb 9 @ 2:43pm 
this is one of the first things i used and its still one of my favs! works good for how much it can do
mike_here Feb 9 @ 11:48am 
hey is the power meter show feul or wha
bc i wanna know if it means electircity and can be regenereated bc i got it to 0
mike_here Feb 7 @ 12:58pm 
also nice idea makign the landing gears shock obsorbers for rough landing
mike_here Feb 7 @ 12:57pm 
but right now there is no ladder to exite the ramp while upside down
