Submersible Information Thread

Two of my submarines returned from Sunken Vault, one unlocked the new map and the other one didn't, so it's not guaranteed.

EDIT: even though my second submarine didn't get a message saying it unlocked the new map I'm able to deploy it there anyway.

Where does the cocobolo lumber come from?

*edit never mind the question was answered.

Updated the spreadsheet I look after.

New ship parts & values added.
Bonus stats added for ranks 51 & 52.

edit: updated again, lower level capacity may be messed up if they didn't just up capacity across the board, but raised it to 80 at 50+

If you notice any mistakes, please let me know and I'll try to fix them accordingly. This has been an extremely long morning so it's very possible.

so possible:

51 - 2 surv, 1 ret
52 - 2 ret, 1 range

Oh good, not just a clear multiplication of the bonus. That going to make the spreadsheet fun.

Looks like capacity was upgraded to 80 for rank 50, and all modified pieces have a cost of 20 and a required rank of 50. So every viable build is possible at 50 (every build with enough range to do a voyage)

Didn't notice that. The 51 subs are showing 80 too so it seems to be locked at that. Not sure what the capacity is while leveling below 50 now.

Sunken Vault -> Sea of ash: South Isle of Zozonan

You cant go to both a new map and the old map simultaneously, distance from base to South Isle is 9 + 12 survey.

Old map is called Deep-Sea site for reference.


Sub went from 50-52 on that trip, gained 2 surv, 3 retrieve, 1 range (CCWY)

CCYC sub went 50-51 and gained 2 surv, 1 ret. (Other CCYC sub to same place did not level [fun])



so possible:

51 - 2 surv, 1 ret
52 - 2 ret, 1 range

We need a new item for Prototypes called "Cocobolo Lumber" -- 18 of them to make the new schematics. If you get any of this from a sub please post the info! I'm assuming it's a drop from the new areas, or a new drop from old areas....

I think it will probably come from the new areas.

I have subs out seeking them.

Can I ask a stupid question that I'm sure is covered in here, but I've yet to find it explicitly stated? How do you get started?

Do I just build the first class of sub and start running missions and then upgrade from there?

Get a full set of shark parts and begin doing missions to increase your sub's level and to discover various sectors. You'll then want to look into what you want to go after, what parts have the stats needed for that and what the level requirements are for those parts. Get them prepped while you're sub is leveling or hold off a bit and see what new info discovered on additional sectors/parts that were just added.

The parts you can put on your sub (or airship) are limited by your sub's/ship's rank. So the ONLY set you can use at the start is the first one. After you get some ranks you can start looking at building different parts and equipping them. Your sub/ship is also limited by the "gear slots" it has, which increase with rank, so even if you have the minimum rank needed to equip a certain part, you might not be able to equip a full set of those parts at first because you won't have enough space, so you'll have to pick and choose which part you want to upgrade first and which can wait.

I have an outdated guide I wrote up back when airships were new that goes through how to equip and level them. Submersibles work pretty much the same way. You can use this as a starting point but keep in mind some of the info is different now (though the basics for getting started haven't changed much which is why I think this still may be useful to you.)
