Submersible Information Thread

Grats, going to try that setup :)

I got one of the Colossus Slabs early on after I upgraded my then newly level 20 sub. It's all Unkai parts now. The Shark parts are now on sub #2. I've gotten one of the slabs and one jelly minion in about 6 runs so far. Never got anything useful with Shark parts while leveling sub #1 so will likely swap out all the parts again when the second sub hits 20.

The shark parts have 30 surveillance total which is why you don't get anything good leveling up with them. Just replacing the hull and the stern with Unkiu parts brings that up to 100.

Is it possible to get any minions from the base shark level 1? Ive sent my ships out over a month and NOTHING, i find it hard to believe RNG is that low.

I don't believe it's possible because the surveillance is so low (hull & stern actually have a negative value for it). There's a minimum surveillance level set to get certain items (behind the scenes, we have to guess), but you're still fighting rng. I know I got a minion from replacing those two parts, but it still took a few trips.

Thanks for this info! I'll try just replacing these parts then when sub #2 is high enough :)

Dozens of mission at max parts and still no slab. 2 minions and a crimson coral though.

Hull, Stern, Bow are all Unkai
Bridge is Shark

This seems to be very RNG dependant and/or my parts have the wrong combination of stats.

I have 16 submarines (on main and alts), half of them on your setup and half on other setups, I didn't get any slab at all. I even tried a lot of setups, and got the results that it has VERY low drop rate, and there's no perfect setup for it.
1st: The submarine has to face normal weather in Neolith Island (which has a low RNG rate), because no matter the setup you have, the submarine still gets "exploratory capability may be significantly hindered" on bad weather. (I tried max surveillance, max Favor, even max retrieval, and even max possible mix of surveillance and Favor) (I even tried sending the submarine from other sectors to Neolith Island, I got different weather conditions, but still no slab)

2nd: if you you get a good RNG with weather (no bad weather), you still have to face the low drop rate of the slab.

Good info, ty! Just got our first one today. Got really excited and then saw it takes 2 to make the minion. Really hope the drop rate improves on this eventually.
