Story Are the separatists communists?

Post image
12 Upvotes

I have two friends—both doctors, funnily enough—who keep saying that the Separatists are Communists, or rather, Socialists. In my view, they’re more like minarchists or anarchists—but anyway.

Their main argument is that they supposedly share the same rhetoric, and that the party that gave rise to the Separatists was a socialist group.

Since I’m not an expert on the *Barotrauma* lore, I’m asking you: are they actually socialists, or are my friends just spouting nonsense?

I've just launched a new playthrough but when I entered the first station, I saw many new things like mines, new quests, showers, a sauna ?? I don't have any mod installed, so is this new or am I just tripping ?

Sub Editor Should I add a high pressure trigger to lock the doors or would it be not worth it?

This works pretty well but I'm not sure if I should add a condition where the doors lock on high pressure. I mean I'd already be in dive suit anyways?

Sub Editor I need help :(

Hi, I can't figure out why the hatch with buttons isn't working. Moreover, the hatches along the same line on the sub aren't working (there are 2 of them, but I tried placing a 3rd hatch in a different spot with more clearance from doors). Here's the thing: right now, every hatch on the submarine works except for two. The right hatch can only be opened when standing above it, while the left hatch can only be opened when standing below it. I tried remaking the hulls, but it had no effect. I removed all nearby doors. I also placed a hatch in a different spot on the same level, and just like those two, it would only open from one side.

In the video, you can see me changing the sprite depth of both the hatch and the ladder so that their hitboxes wouldn't conflict, but that didn't help either. A bug with a pre-made self-closing hatch assembly is also ruled out, because I tested a regular hatch with buttons without any logic, and it didn't work either.

Question Sub Editor Help

3 Upvotes

I've been working on this sub for a few days and I did a test run with only one glaring issue that I can't seem to fix. Whenever I order a bot to "return to sub" they come straight to the lower airlock and hang out at the bottom of the ladder. Gunners move past the periscopes they're assigned to, engineer ignores reactor etc. I finished the sub, and realized I wanted 2 airlocks, 1 at the top and bottom. The previous version with only the upper airlock didn't have this issue. Any help would be appreciated.

Wiring Automatic motion sensor door working WITH the integrated BUTTON(not lever or switch)on the door and hatch

3 Upvotes

This has taken me hours to actually get working as I always had a set state of 0 trying to override the signal from the button and I ask AI and Asked Ai again and again to no avail as its suggested designs always either lost full functionality of either the door or sensor.

I literally gave up like 3 times and I'm so elated that I've actually done it that I just had to post on here.

Oh and FYI it works without constant audio issues from it trying to close or open like 1000 times a second.

Idk if anyone else has been having trouble with it but yea if you need me to explain it just comment and I'll prob post an image when I get home or somthing.

Oh I'm new player BTW.

Question why are outpost guards so stupid

14 Upvotes

if the husk people attack you just for making the mistake of going near them then the station guards ignore them and let them murder you, if you fight back then the station guards murder you instead, even with 100 reputation it doesn't matter to them, like are they intentionally this stupid or is it a bug?

Wiring Assembly Wiring help

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know how to output a blank value? I've tried a sig check and tested it with a text box, though I can't seem to have it output blank after the first failed check. I was able to get it working long ago with some older assembly items but can't seem to replicate it.

Maybe some way to clear a mem component?

Discussion Playing Barotraumatic with bots is worth it?

Post image
225 Upvotes

I want to play barotrauma again but with mods this time and I think barotraumatic really gives me what I want but I don't know if the bots will be able to manage the subs
I Installed all the mods from "barotraumatic experience" and it got me wondering - will the bots be able to understand how to use the reactor? - how to use the new tools? - change air filters?

And also, witch workshop subs are the best to play barotraumatic?

Question Map swap question

Is it possible, somehow, to regenerate a campaign map cause i dont want to harm my save or start again anew? Save editor allows it?

Ive played Dynamic Europa Wasteland mod and got really tired of it (was fun tho)

Now i want to uhhh unf4ck my underwater world to a normal Dynamic Europa state with all of its outposts

(detail to add: DyEu Wasteland makes world and outposts abandoned, meaning that there are even LESS safe places than normal DyEu, i just cant... every fcking outpost i conquer becomes Coalition low-tier habitat... Not even a construction site. Construction crates are useless for me now)

Question Update submarine

7 Upvotes

Main question:

How can I replace the submarine whether using cheats or any other method?

Context:

I have a run using a custom submarine that I haven't published. I fixed a few errors, but the submarine is currently saved and won't update to the new version.

Actions taken so far:

I tried modifying the file, but it's unreadable. I also tried spawning the submarine using cheats, but that didn't work though it's possible I entered the code incorrectly.
